More than twenty women have now accused Bill Cosby of sexual misbehavior. Yesterday one of those women filed the first lawsuit against the entertainer, but Cosby, 77, has been defiantly silent as the story snowballs.

His silence ended yesterday evening when two people he knows and adores did what no one else is willing to do at this point: they defended him.

The two people are Jill Scott (left) and Whoopi Goldberg (right). And in this odd world of virality, he did them a solid on Twitter.

Although this news cycle refuses to stop rolling and the court of public opinion has pretty much adjourned, this is Bill Cosby.
