Even his former TV co-star Jimmie “JJ” Walker is now calling Bill Cosby “the O.J. Simpson of the comedy world – he’s Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde.”
But for decades, Cosby got away with his sick and twisted double life thanks to a high-priced team of Hollywood enablers.
Here, The National ENQUIRER reveals the men responsible for helping to hide his criminal history.
THE AGENT: Tom Illius According to the newly revealed court deposition, Cosby testified that he called his William Morris Agency rep, Illius, and asked him to send money to one accuser. He testified Illius didn’t ask why, and he wasn’t sure whether he asked him to send money to more women. He died at age 83 in 2011.
THE DOCTOR: Mark Saginor Saginor, 77, is one of Hollywood’s best-known “Dr. Feelgoods.” While he denied to The ENQUIRER that he ever provided drugs to Cosby, his daughter, Jennifer Saginor, has alleged her father was instrumental in providing drugs at the Playboy Mansion, where Cosby was a regular guest.
THE PAL: Hugh Hefner In 1974, an ex-Playboy employee claimed Cosby raped her and up to a dozen other Playboy bunnies. Hef, 89, told The ENQUIRER: “Bill has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening. I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved.”
THE FLUNKIE: Frank Scotti Former NBC exec Scotti, 91, said Cosby engaged him to deliver monthly payments to at least eight women in 1989 and 1990. Scotti claimed he has copies of money orders in his name. “These reports are beyond our knowledge or comprehension,” said “Cosby Show” producers Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner.
THE PUBLICIST: David Brokaw Publicists earn their pay by speaking for their clients, and Cosby’s longtime mouthpiece Brokaw, 65, regularly denied Cosby did anything wrong. Recently he has served him by issuing “no comment” statements to almost every new accusation. Brokaw is now Cosby’s only rep outside of his legal team.
