Vivica A. Fox is now coming to the defense of Bill Cosby during an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show. She described her experience working with him on The Cosby Show has someone completely different than the person being depicted in the media in recent months.

Following her Celebrity Apprentice co-star Keshia Knight Pulliam getting fired for refusing to call her former co-star, Cosby, to raise money for charity, Fox is talking about her own experience working with him.

"I worked on The Cosby Show and was honored to do the show, and...the man I met was nothing like the man they are describing," Fox told Vieira, USA Today reports.

He continued, "He was nice, kind. There was no sexual overtones or anything so I defend him and I stand by him as well, too."

Fox also said she stands by Pulliam, saying she’s been handling the negative criticism “like a class act.”

“It's part of it, that they would attach her name to Mr. Cosby because they have history together,” she said.
