Bill Cosby’s Manager Claims He Was ‘Having a Good Time’ With Quaaludes & Women

Bill Cosby’s former manager, Andrew Wyatt, made startling comments Thursday, claiming the comedian viewed providing Quaaludes to women as simply “having a good time.” The remarks surfaced during an appearance on “TMZ Live” following Cosby’s recent loss in a civil lawsuit brought by Donna Motsinger, who alleged she was drugged and raped by Cosby in 1972. Wyatt’s statements have reignited scrutiny of Cosby’s decades-long history of sexual assault allegations and raised questions about the narrative surrounding his actions.

The civil suit, decided on March 23, 2026, awarded Motsinger millions in damages. Wyatt’s comments were a direct response to questions about the verdict and Cosby’s ongoing legal battles. He suggested Cosby believes he is being unfairly targeted, implying that similar behavior was commonplace among entertainers during the 1970s.

A History of Allegations

The allegations against Bill Cosby first gained widespread public attention in 2014, when comedian Hannibal Buress alluded to Cosby’s covert sexual misbehavior during a stand-up routine. This sparked a flood of accusations from over 60 women, detailing incidents of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery and harassment spanning from the mid-1960s to 2008. As detailed by Wikipedia, Cosby, once celebrated as “America’s Dad” for his role as Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Demonstrate (1984-1992), saw his career and reputation irrevocably damaged by the accusations. Numerous awards and honorary degrees were subsequently revoked.

The case is complicated by the statute of limitations on many of the alleged incidents. However, the sheer volume of accusations and the resurfacing of previously dismissed claims led to a significant shift in public perception. Cosby has consistently maintained his innocence, but the allegations have effectively ended his career.

Quaaludes and Cosby’s Testimony

The issue of Quaaludes, a sedative drug, has been central to many of the allegations against Cosby. In 2015, NPR reported that Cosby testified in a 2005 civil lawsuit that he obtained Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with. He admitted to giving at least one woman three half-pills of Benadryl, and settled the lawsuit in 2006. This testimony, revealed after a court order, provided a crucial piece of evidence supporting the claims of drugging and sexual assault.

Further, Cosby admitted he obtained a prescription for Quaaludes from a gynecologist at a poker game and refilled it seven times, explicitly stating his intention was to administer the drug to women he pursued. He claimed he never personally ingested the pills.

Wyatt’s Defense and the Fallout

Wyatt’s defense of Cosby, as reported by TMZ, centers on the claim that Cosby’s actions were not unique to him during that era. He alleges that Cosby feels unfairly singled out and that other entertainers engaged in similar behavior. Wyatt also stated that Cosby’s accusers are motivated by a desire for “blood.”

These comments sparked immediate backlash, with many criticizing Wyatt for minimizing the severity of the allegations and appearing to defend Cosby’s actions. The statements also raised questions about Wyatt’s role as Cosby’s representative and his understanding of the gravity of the accusations.

The Business of a Fallen Icon

The fallout from the allegations has had a significant impact on Cosby’s career and legacy. Television networks pulled reruns of The Cosby Show and other programs featuring him from syndication. Ninety-seven colleges and universities rescinded honorary degrees. The U.S. Navy revoked an honorary title, and Cosby resigned from the board of trustees at Temple University. The financial implications of these actions are substantial, representing a significant loss of income and prestige for Cosby.

The recent civil suit loss to Donna Motsinger adds to the financial burden, with a multi-million dollar judgment against Cosby. The case highlights the ongoing legal and financial consequences of the allegations, even decades after the alleged incidents occurred.

What Comes Next

While Cosby has faced numerous legal challenges, including a criminal trial that ended in a mistrial, the civil suits continue to pose a financial threat. Further legal action from other accusers remains a possibility. The focus now shifts to the enforcement of the judgment in the Motsinger case and the potential for additional settlements or verdicts in the future. Wyatt’s continued representation of Cosby suggests a strategy of defending the comedian’s reputation, despite the overwhelming evidence and public condemnation.
