After serving nearly 3 years of his sentence, the DA was able to have the charges against Bill Cosby overturned, and just as quickly as his case exploded, revealing his alleged crimes, he was out of his prison uniform and giving a peace sign to an overhead helicopter, as he was driven home.
Of course, all eyes were on Cosby during his first sighting as a free man, and the staff and students at Central High School were shocked to see Cosby wearing their high school's T-Shirt. Dismayed at the fact that he opted to have their school's name on his attire on this particular day was not sitting well, and they want to make it clear that they do not support this whatsoever.
Bill Cosby's T-Shirt Causes A Stir
He may be a free man, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't responsible for the heinous crimes he is now being accused of committing. Bill Cosby's name and reputation have been dragged through the mud and completely disgraced, and no major brand, corporation, or entity wants their brand to be associated with him in any way. Central High School is no exception.
This unique wardrobe choice is being shunned by the class president from 1997, which is the year that the t-shirt was issued. It has been confirmed that Cosby briefly attended the school, but did not graduate, and somehow he managed to retain 1 of 150 of those shirts that have been made. The school and its representatives don't believe this is how their school spirit should be represented, and they want to make it clear to Cosby- and to the public - that they're not happy with his choice of outfit.
Twitter Reacts
Fans have been voicing their thoughts on this matter on Twitter, and seem equally unimpressed by Cosby's decision to wear the high school's T-shirt on the day of his prison release.
Fan comments include; "Not Bill Cosby wearing a Central shirt coming out of prison!" and "oh wow, I feel sorry for the people at that school where he got his t-shirt."
Others said; "why is he gona drag down a whole school now by disgracing them," "Oh yeah, Bill Cosby went there, touting his #PHLed Central 256 ties. Alums are not pleased."
Comments also included; "wow I feel sorry for anyone that goes to that school" and "maybe that's a hint, did he violate people at that school when he was there?" as well as "high school trauma, much?"
Also written were the words; "F***ing Bill Cosby. And wearing a Central High School shirt," and " You bring shame and didn’t even graduate," as well as; "I graduated from Central High School. You know who didn't? #BillCosby. Get our shirt off your rapist body, we don't need you.
