Students at Howard University called for Phylicia Rashad to be fired after she tweeted her support for Bill Cosby.
I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward. My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing.

Cosby, however, acknowledged the blowback on Twitter after singer Stephanie Mills shared her support for Rashad. “If it’s true that Howard University wants to terminate her Position because they feel her comments about Mr. Cosby were insensitive, then they should give back the millions of dollars that he donated to the university,” she wrote.
Cosby didn’t elaborate any further but he seemingly agreed with Mills’ sentiment, writing, “Thank you @iamstephaniemills your voice has always been powerful!”
