One of the reasons that Cosby was such a betrayal was because he had such an appeal to children. We didn’t discover him in our teens or adulthood, we followed him as little kids, and his humor became part of our psyche. We had invited him into our minds as a friend, only to later find out that he was a genuine monster.
Probably the earliest celebrity from my childhood who turned out to be a POS. I loved Fat Albert.

You have noticed you don’t see much Fat Albert these days?
I haven’t seen much of it since the 80s!
It was around in the early 90’s but it was soon gone. I don’t remember any controversy it just aged out and well fat shaming had become a thing.
