Whoopi seemed to defend the comedian on “The View” on November 17 during a conversation about celebrities being falsely accused of things, saying, “I hope somebody gets to the bottom of this, but I’m going to reserve my judgment because I have a lot of questions, as I said. It’s crazy, but I have a lot of questions, because I know we all have friends who have gone through this.”

Cosby also posted a grateful message to Jill Scott, who fired back at a Twitter user on Monday who was asking the singer to sign a petition asking Temple University to end their relationship with the comedian.

“Thank you @MissJillScott, from the Cosby Family,” he Tweeted.

Thank you @MissJillScott, from the Cosby Family.
