Bill Cosby Allegedly Kicked Lisa Bonet Off Show For Being Pregnant
Instead of adjusting the script to have Lisa Bonet’s character on The Cosby Show spin-off A Different World carry a baby while the actress was expecting, Bill Cosby allegedly decided to give her the axe instead.
In the new memoir from Lenny Kravitz, Bonet’s ex-husband, the legendary musician explains the story, which allegedly happened in 1988.
Kravitz claims that, after Lisa Bonet asked for a meeting with Bill Cosby and Debbie Allen, the show’s producer, the disgraced comedian knew exactly what the situation was.

“You’re here to tell me you’re pregnant, aren’t you?” allegedly asked Cosby to Bonet.
At the time, Debbie Allen explained that she was down with the idea of Bonet’s character, Denise Huxtable, going off and raising a baby by herself. However, Cosby was silent when the idea was pitched, saying that he would think about it and revisit the conversation in a few days. Kravitz claims that, after a few days went by, Cosby called and told Bonet that the script alteration was a no-go.
“Lisa Bonet is pregnant but Denise Huxtable is not,” he allegedly told the actress.
Apparently, the relationship between Bonet and Cosby was “tense” since that moment, forcing the now 52-year-old to take a hiatus from the show before returning following the birth of her daughter Zoë.
Three years later, she decided to leave the production altogether, citing creative differences.

Jennifer Lopez was caught in a dramatic showdown with paparazzi during a recent Hamptons getaway with her children. The star’s frustration was palpable as she demanded photographers leave her and her kids alone, shouting, “Get away from me and the kids! Go away!”
The intense moment was shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, where Lopez’s fans quickly rallied to her defense. One commenter noted, “Y’all clearly hear her say ‘get away from me and the kids’… she’s just protecting her children.” Another added, “The internet’s been so harsh on her lately. Give her a break. This new generation is just weird.”
The incident followed a heartwarming Instagram post by Lopez featuring a sweet photo of her and her twins, Max and Emme, captioned, “My whole heart.” While Lopez was enjoying the East Coast, her husband, Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.
In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows. The cancellation, rumored to be due to sluggish ticket sales, was framed by Lopez as a need to focus on family. She assured fans, “I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”
