But Cliff Huxtable isn’t the only member of his sitcom family affected by the controversy; as the comedian’s career tanks, the reputations of his Cosby Show castmates also continue to suffer.
So where do the rest of the Huxtables stand on the scandal? Cosby’s former co-stars have issued a range of responses to the allegations over the past few months, from defending Cosby to condemning his behavior.
