Despite two new sexual assault and abuse lawsuits, comedian Bill Cosby said he’s considering going on tour again starting next year. 

The 85-year-old actor made the comments during an appearance on Ohio’s WGH Talk radio station on Wednesday. Cosby said he wanted to begin a new comedy tour starting in 2023. 

“Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do,” Cosby said of his tour plans. “When I come out of this, I feel that I will be able to perform and be the Bill Cosby that my audience knows me to be.”

The actor’s publicist Andrew Wyatt confirmed this information to The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re looking at getting back out here around Spring/Summer of 2023,” he told the publication.

The news comes after a slew of legal battles for the star of “The Cosby Show.” In 2014, more than 50 women came forward with sexual assault allegations against Cosby. The next year he was charged with the assault of Andrea Constand, a former director of operations for Temple University’s women’s basketball team. The actor was found guilty and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, but was later released in 2021 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction citing an unfair violation of due process.

In March 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it would not review Cosby’s sexual assault case.

Most recently, “Cosby Show” actresses Lili Bernard and Eden Tirl and others, including Jewel Gittens, Jennifer Thompson, and Cindra Ladd, accused Cosby again of assault, battery, and infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment. They had filed allegations previously but are now introducing a new civil suit filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which gives survivors of sexual abuse a one-year window to sue even if the statute of limitations on their allegations has expired, per Entertainment Weekly. 

Cosby denied these new allegations in a statement. Per EW, he said, “As we have always stated, and now America can see, this isn’t about justice for victims of alleged sexual assault; it’s ALL ABOUT MONEY. We believe that the courts, as well as the court of public opinion, will follow the rules of law and relieve Mr. Cosby of these alleged accusations. Mr. Cosby continues to vehemently deny all allegations waged against him and looks forward to defending himself in court.”

Cosby last went on tour in 2015. At the time, the comedian faced protests and was forced to cancel shows as multiple women came forward and accused the actor of sexual crimes. 

Chaya Raichik, the person behind the popular Twitter account Libs of TikTok, explained her reasons for revealing her face after staying anonymous for so long.

Raichik has been hated by the left ever since starting the social media account. She was doxxed by Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz several months ago, but this week Raichik decided to reveal her face during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

The social media powerhouse said that when the account first started getting attention, she was “relieved” to be anonymous. “…the Left was brazen with their threats of violence against people they disagree with, including me,” she shared in a Substack update.

Ultimately, Raichik said her decision to become a public figure is rooted in her mission to protect children and expose the dangerous leftist agenda. 

“Staying behind a screen and restricted to 240 characters on Twitter just isn’t enough anymore to counteract the rampant issues with the Left’s agenda in America,” she told her fans. “It’s not an easy thing to reveal your face to millions of people, especially considering the number of death threats I receive.”

The Libs of TikTok creator also said revealing her face is a “big middle finger” to critics, including journalists, who mocked her for being fearful. 

“I’m not hiding, and I’m not scared of whatever they try to throw at me to stop me from exposing them,” she wrote.

Raichik explained that she’ll be “more effective out in the open, teaching others how they can make a difference in this cultural war,” where she plans to continue fighting the “deep, dark, and systemic … targeting of our children.”

During a previous interview with The Daily Wire, Raichik said she never intended her Twitter account to go viral.

“People think that I started this and I had this whole plan and I wanted to harass people on the Left,” she said in April. “[They think] I had this whole agenda … I was just having fun.”

But as time went on, it quickly became apparent that Raichik had stumbled into a dark web of information that wasn’t funny at all. 

She said leftists hate her account because it shows them who they really are and what they’re fighting for. “You’re holding up a mirror,” told The Daily Wire about the backlash. “I think they feel threatened.”

The Libs of TikTok influencer has been getting death threats all along and expects them to continue. However, she sees herself as part of the fight and is willing to take that risk if it means being part of the mission.
