I am not saying he isn't a bad guy. He was convicted. That argument is gone. It is just weird that people who you looked at as role models turn into slime.
I saw B.C. do a stand up routine at the Multnomah County Fair (Portland, OR) in the early 1970's. I was a kid. Easily the funniest comic I have personally seen. He had a charisma about him.
It calls into question one's ability to make personality judgements of others.
I find it all a little unnerving.

Yep. for many years he had the reputation of a real life Doc Huxtable like his character on the TV show. I think I still have some old vinyl albums of his. He was one of the few clean comics. No profanity, no sex jokes. Seemed to be a stand up man. Then the truth came out.
Much like Joe Paterno. I always admired his strength of character and do the right thing image. Then the truth of his protecting sexual abusers just like the Catholic church has done. Just despicable behavior.
