Erinn Cosby’s Estranged Relationship With Her Father Bill Cosby

Although the stand-up comedian and actor Bill Cosby seemed to have a fun and loving relationship with his family, it was not the same with one of his daughters Erinn.

The father-daughter had a troubled relationship for many years after Erinn fell into drug abuse. Their relationship was so off-track that Cosby even gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times talking about his ‘troubled’ daughter.

During the interview, he told,

“She appears to be the only one who is really very selfish. … I think she’s a child who has refused to take responsibility for supporting herself. … She’s never held down a job, never kept an apartment for more than six months. Erinn never finishes anything. She uses her boyfriend. Her problem is behavioral. She’s very stubborn. She’s not a person you can trust.”

According to a source, Cosby even ratted out his own daughter to the media. He allegedly handed information about Erinn’s battle with drug and alcohol abuse to a media outlet.

Even then, Erinn calmly handled the labels saying, “I don’t know about those quotes, all of this stuff was so long ago. It was ridiculous.”

Bill and Erinn rekindled their relationship after Ennis’ death in 1997. As of now, they have a good relationship. Erinn even spoke in her father’s favor after he was accused of assaulting women in the 60s.

Erinn’s Father Bill Served Two Years In Prison

Over the past few decades, around 60 women publicly accused Cosby of being a sexual predator. After years and years of accusations, lawsuits, and trials, Bill got sentenced to prison for 10 years in 2018. He was guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assaults.

However, he only served a little over two years of his 3-to-10-year sentence at the state prison near Philadelphia. He came out of prison in 2021 after Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court overturned his sexual assault conviction on a technicality.

After his release, he tweeted saying “I have never changed my stance nor my story. I have always maintained my innocence” thanking his supporters.

While some celebrated his release some slammed it. Ex-playboy Bunny Victoria Valentino even said “my stomach is lurching” after hearing the news. Even she had opened up about Cosby violating her in 1970 after drugging her when she was just 24.

Erinn Cosby Accused Former Pro-boxer Mike Tyson Of Sexually Assaulting Her

Erinn accused the former professional wrestler Mike Tyson of trying to rape her at his own house after inviting her himself. The then 24-year-old Cosby came forward with the bold accusation looking for justice for what she had to go through.

She even went to the Donahue TV program to discuss the incident. She said that Tyson invited her and her two friends to his house in 1989. Upon reaching there, Mike allegedly took her upstairs to give her a house tour, took her to his bedroom, and tried to violate her. Cosby said,

He locked the door, and he ran after me, The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, on my stomach with my hands behind my back. He had one hand over my mouth, and there was a lot of struggling.”

Tyson let her go only after a maid came to the door hearing her scream for help. She further revealed that Mike was offering her money to not tell anybody about the incident whilst she was fleeing his house.

After the incident, she sought sanctuary from her father, however, to her surprise Bill insisted Mike seek counseling through his attorneys. No criminal charges or case was filed against him.

The artist later revealed that the only reason she went public with her story was that her ex-boyfriend wanted to sell it.

The boxing sensation was later sentenced to six years in prison for the alleged rape of then 18-year-old Miss Black winner Desire Washington.

Following her graduation, she began working as a full-time artist/photographer. Likewise, she even acted as the model for Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show.
