Bill Cosby has another Hollywood supporter.
In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 37-year-old is asked about her comedic inspirations.
“Definitely Richard Pryor,” she begins. “Bill Cosby — I still want to work with Bill Cosby, I don’t care, I’ll drink the juice. I’ll drink the juice. I’ll take a nap. I don’t give a damn. [laughs] But seriously, I would love for him to play my grandfather in something.”
Cosby’s legacy has been dramatically overshadowed by dozens of sexual assault allegations in recent years, including one which resulted in charges against Cosby on three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault. After going to trial, the case was declared a mistrial in June, with a retrial set for November.
Meanwhile, Haddish has been receiving critical acclaim for her role in the hit comedy “Girls Trip”, with numerous reviews dubbing her the film’s breakout star. The comedian’s debut stand-up special is set to debut in August.
