After most cast members from The Cosby Show were silent about Bill Cosby’s multiple rape allegations, Phylicia Rashad came forward to offer her opinion. It was not a particularly popular one.

After telling Roger Friedman of Showbiz411 “Forget these women,” and saying the accusers were contributing to the “destruction of a legacy,” she became a trending topic.

Check the tweets, pictures, and meme aftermath of when Phylicia Rashad defended Bill Cosby and Twitter went in.

Desus Nice is the voice of reason.

You knew an Illuminati reference was coming sooner or later.

Too soon for the date rape jokes, man.

Someone remembers the Spanish Fly joke and is not pleased.

Nope, we’re not trying to see Claire get ethered on social media.

Dollars and sense.

Ouch.

Yeah, Claire is out here catching a bad one right now.

The classic Claire Huxtable facepalm screenshot pretty much sums it up.

Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.

Twitter continues going in.

Any bets on #CosbyApologists becoming a trending hashtag?

While we’re talking legacies…

These Cosby Show screenshots though.

Shots fired from atop the moral high horse.

Say it with your Claire Huxtable voice.

Tell ‘em how you really feel Judd.
