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.

As you all know, Bill Cosby is currently serving a prison sentence and is a convicted sex offender. He has been accused by countless women of drugging and sexually assaulting them.

“Forever Hopeful” is a heartfelt song. The song is about the fact that there is still hope even when things seem too big.

One Yen unveils where alternative rock meets the search for something more with “Vesica Piscis (Open)”

One Yen‘s latest release, “Vesica Piscis (Open)” is an emotionally charged and provocative album of alternative rock that is as compelling as it is powerful. With driving rhythms, layered guitars, atmospheric textures, and soaring melodic vocals, the song captures the spirit of late ‘90s alt-rock while embracing the big sound of modern alt-rock.

Named after the ancient symbol created by the intersection of two circles, Vesica Piscis immediately positions itself as more than a typical rock anthem. It explores awakening, self-discovery, duality, and man’s eternal quest for meaning outside the material world. Instead of giving easy answers, the lyrics begin an ongoing dialogue about identity, consciousness, and transcendence.

Musically, the song keeps up a compelling sense of momentum throughout. The song is built around a powerful foundation of energetic instrumentation, with atmospheric layers providing enough space for reflection. That mix of power and nuance ensures that the ride is never so enthralling that it loses its emotional heft.
