Bill Cosby is not returning to NBC, possibly for good, as the network is closing its door to the embattled 77-year-old comedian.
On Jan. 15, Friday, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt confirmed to CBS News that the network would not do a project with Cosby again despite the fact that he dominated the sitcom industry with the network's "The Cosby Show" three decades ago.
"Fifteen women came out and accused him of what they accused him of," Greenblatt said during a question and answer session with the Television Critics Association when asked to explain NBC's decision to turn its back at Cosby despite the fact that he is yet to be proven guilty of anything.
Greenblatt also said he is glad the network is "out from under that."
After the series of sexual assault allegations thrown to Cosby, NBC decided to cancel its plans develop a "classic" family sitcom with the iconic comedian.
Meanwhile, Cosby is reportedly asking Hugh Hefner's help after Playboy model Chloe Groins came out as his most recent sexual assault accuser.
With his lawyers, Cosby turns out to be asking Hefner to give him any video taken in the Playboy Mansion to help him discredit Groins, TMZ has learned.
Sources inside the Playboy Mansion told the publication that Cosby's team asked Hefner's security team has any surveillance footage that could be used against Groins shortly after the Play model filed criminal charges against him.
According to Groins, Cosby masturbated and sucked her toes during an incident that took place in 2008 at the Playboy Mansion.
Moreover, Cosby's lawyers are said to have asked Hefner if he knows of other Playboy model planning to come out and file charges against the comedian.
