The Television Academy has removed Bill Cosby’s name from their website.
“He has not been removed from the Hall of Fame. His name was removed from The Academy’s website,” a Television Academy spokesperson told TheWrap.
A bust of Cosby that had been on display at the Academy’s North Hollywood campus but removed during construction will not be put back on display, the spokesperson said.
The comedian was recently found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault in his retrial over accusations made by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand.
After the verdict was read, prosecutors argued that Cosby should be held without bail, calling him a flight risk because, they said, he owns a private plane. To this, Cosby exclaimed “he doesn’t have a plane, you a-hole.”
Bounce TV removed reruns of “The Cosby Show” the same day of Cosby’s conviction.
