Beverly is just one of more than two dozen women who have come forward accusing Cosby of sexual abuse. She said, “It was almost like a family member had betrayed me,” adding, “It was such a huge sense of betrayal for me. These women gave me the courage to come forward.”
When asked by GMA’s Amy Robach what she would say to Cosby now if she had the chance, she said, “I forgive you.” Robach also asked her how she thinks Cosby should be handled and she replied,
“I’m going to leave that to the justice department,” Johnson answered. “And I just think that he’s a lightning rod for a much bigger conversation — and that conversation would be the rape culture in America.”
