Bill Cosby responded to Boston critics who had planned to protest his shows at The Wilbur Theatre, which was recently cancelled.
In a statement released to Boston Herald, Cosby said, "Dear Fans: GOD has Blessed me with a wonderful gift to share with all of you. For 53 years I have continued to master this gift, which heals the soul and warms hearts. Laughter!"
The accused sexual predator went on to say, "I thank you, the theatre staff (Wilbur Theatre), the event organizers and the Boston Community for your continued support and coming to experience family, fun entertainment. Hey, Hey, Hey - I'm Far From Finished."
Almost three decades, Cosby's namesake former United States President Bill Clinton was also involved in a sex scandal.
On Jan. 26, 1998, Clinton spoke in the White House Roosevelt Room denying having has sex with Monica Lewinsky.
In 2014, Lewinsky confessed she was in love with Clinton, her former boss, during her speech at the inaugural 30 Under 30 summit in Philadelphia sponsored by Forbes. She said she fresh out of college then when she became a White House staffer and a controversial figure subsequently.
As a result of the controversy she was involved having an affair with Clinton, Lewinsky said she went from being "a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one" overnight and she was "patient zero."
While there was no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram back then, Lewinsky pointed out there were news, gossip and websites full of comment sections and emails that could be forwarded.
Now that she has broken her silence after a decade, Lewinsky announced that she supports the campaign to end cyberbullying and the toxic culture of internet shaming.
