According to an AP investigation, Bill Cosby testified during a 2005 court case that he had purchased sedatives with the intent to give them to women._ by [Katy Osborn](https://time.com/author/katy-osborn/) ## Katy Osborn Jul 14, 2015 6:09 PM UTC by [Katy Osborn](https://time.com/author/katy-osborn/) ## Katy Osborn Jul 14, 2015 6:09 PM UTC Whoopi Goldberg started her morning Tuesday with some backpedaling, giving up her steadfast defense of Bill Cosby against allegations that he has drugged and raped women, some of them decades ago. In a conversation with Dan Abrams, ABC News’ chief legal analyst, the actor-comedian and longtime _View_ host admitted, “If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I got to say all of the information that’s out there kind of points to guilt,” [The Wrap](http://www.thewrap.com/whoopi-goldberg-flip-flops-on-bill-cosby-all-of-the-information-points-to-guilt-video/) reports. Goldberg had invited Abrams on Tuesday’s episode of _The View_ to explain the statute of limitations on rape cases. “You got a serial rapist, he’s been on the streets for 30 years,” Goldberg said, explaining her change of heart. “I have to say I thought that, ‘Yeah, here’s all the information, take his -ss to jail. I find out from you that that’s not possible. So I can’t say anymore ‘innocent until proven guilty’ because there’s no way to prove it.” In Goldberg’s words, she’s “been taking a lot of heat” lately for her open support of Cosby, the long-beloved creator and star of _The Cosby Show,_ who has been accused of sexual assault by more than 40 women over the past year. Goldberg continued defending him even after the release last week of court documents from 2005 in which Cosby admitted to giving Quaaludes to young women with whom he wished to have sex. “He has not been arrested, and the bottom line is that’s the law–innocent, until proven guilty,” Goldberg said last week. Goldberg’s reversal means one fewer stronghold of public support for Cosby.

An AP investigation into a 2005 lawsuit against Cosby Uncovered testimony from the comedian in which he admitted to obtaining quaaludes and planning to give them to women he wanted to have sex with. The latest revelations add to a growing list of scandals for Cosby. Over two dozen women claim to have been drugged and raped by the comedian over the course of his decades long career. Since most of those alleged incidents occurred past the statute of limitations this latest wave hasn't resulted in criminal charges. The 2005 case is likely to be no different. Cosby settle out of court in 2006 for an undisclosed amount. The lawsuit was filed by a former employee of Temple University, Cosby's Alma Matter. Cosby was a frequent supporter of Temple, but stepped down from the school's Board of Trustees in December in the midst of the allegations. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/"},"headline":"Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Bill Cosby May Be Guilty After All","datePublished":"2015-07-14T18:09:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:29:11.184Z","description":"\"I got to say all of the information that’s out there kind of points to guilt\"","url":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt38d35be1ecce8f77/69885ad68e06014b7946161a/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katy Osborn","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katy-osborn/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt38d35be1ecce8f77/69885ad68e06014b7946161a/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Whoopi-Goldberg-Bill-Cosby","caption":"Whoopi-Goldberg-Bill-Cosby","creditText":"Monica Schipper—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/","name":"Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Bill Cosby May Be Guilty After All"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Bill Cosby Admitted in 2005 to Buying Drugs to Give to Women","description":"According to an AP investigation, Bill Cosby testified during a 2005 court case that he had purchased sedatives with the intent to give them to women.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/VEIkPLsL/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-06T23:29:37.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/VEIkPLsL.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/","duration":"PT1M","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3957561/whoopi-goldberg-bill-cosby-reversal/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
