Bill Cosby might not know what hit him after all 27 of his sexual abuse accusers come together for one interview on Friday. NBC’s Kate Snow will conduct the interview, which will also include a small group of women who agreed to speak anonymously under oath about Bill Cosby back in 2005, but never did so. The interview will air on a Dateline special, The Cosby Accusers Speak, this Friday at 9:00 p.m.
In addition to the accusers, attorney Gloria Allred will also be part of the interview about Bill Cosby’s alleged sex crimes. She represents many of the women who have accused the Cosby Show star of both drugging and sexually assaulting them.

Bill Cosby’s accusers span five decades of alleged incidents that range from drugging and fondling to rape. They will respond to claims from Cosby’s legal team that their allegations are false.
The stories are all eerily similar. Most allege that Bill Cosby offered to mentor them, but wound up both drugging and sexually assaulting them instead.

Kate Snow is an excellent choice for conducting and reporting on this interview. She will likely show just enough compassion to show empathy, without admitting to being on the sides of Bill Cosby’s accusers.
Will you tune in to this Dateline special on Friday evening, and hear what all 27 of Bill Cosby’s accusers have to say about his actions?
Do you believe Bill Cosby committed these crimes or is there simply a huge following out to destroy his reputation in the media?
