Bill Cosby is finally starting to pull back on public appearances as the sexual assault allegations continued to mount. He has cancelled a show in Las Vegas that was set for next week, while a February appearance in Tucson, Arizona was also cancelled.
A spokeswoman for the Treasure Island Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas told the Associated Press that Cosby’s Nov. 28 was cancelled in agreement with Cosby. “It wasn't a good time,” the spokesman said.
Ticketholders will receive refunds.
Cosby was also supposed to perform at the Diamond Desert Casino in Tucson on Feb. 15, but that appearance has also been cancelled. No further details on that cancellation were available.
Cosby performed in the Bahamas last night and he has another appearance scheduled for Melbourne, Florida tonight. He has a tour planned through May 2.
Attorneys for Cosby have continued to deny the allegations, even as more women continue to come forward with claims that the comedian raped and drugged them. In fact, just today, another woman, Kristina Reuhli told PhillyMag.com that she was assaulted by Cosby in 1965, when she was 22.
