Even though the former Cosby Show star hasn’t spoken out and voiced her thoughts, daughter Zoe Kravitz spoke on her behalf during a recent interview. Kravtiz acknowledged that it made sense for people to want to hear what Bonet had to say about the allegations against Cosby.

“She’d plead the fifth, even to me”, Kravitz told the British news outlet about her mother, star of Dope, a film about the fallacy of stereotyping.
Zoe Kravitz said her mom has mainly kept quiet about it. “I think she’s just staying out of it”, she said.
As the 26-year-old Mad Max: Fury Road actress explains, if her mother had seen any evidence of Cosby’s alleged improprieties during her The Cosby Show years, she would have spoken out ages ago. She’s also a attractive woman.
Many speculated Cosby was too controlling over Bonet’s career, and with all of the allegations, fans wondered if there was another reason behind her departure. The comedian will undergo a deposition on October 9 about the accusations. Many have accused him of both drugging and raping them.
Between 1984 and 1991 Bonet starred alongside Cosby on The Cosby Show, playing Denise Huxtable, the daughter of Cosby’s character Cliff Huxtable.
Thirty-five of the 50 women accusing Cosby of sexual assault were featured on the cover of the July issue of New York Magazine, detailing their alleged encounters with the entertainer for the world to know. “It makes people wonder”.
Joseph C. Phillips, who played Martin Kendall (Denise’s husband), believes the allegations are true. Phylicia Rashad said the accusers were destroying Cosby’s legacy.
