Don Cheadle<\/b> is known speaking his mind apologetically, and on a recent interview with Bossip’s Don’t Be Scared<\/i> podcast,\u00a0he did not hold back when it\u00a0came to discussing the recent scandal involving\u00a0Bill Cosby<\/b>. He talked about\u00a0<\/b>why he believes\u00a0a few folks in the\u00a0Black community refuse call him out for his actions and accept Cosby\u00a0as\u00a0a predator which he is.<\/p>\n

“I thnk there’s some of that [Believe] in the Black community that of course they want to take our hero down, we can’t have a hero. They’re always trying to take down someone we look up to and it’s a part of a wider white conspiracy to destroy us,” he said. “Well, there is some [accuracy] with that, in my opinion, in some ways. But I don’t think this is that at all. I think this is a powerful man that has a proclivity to have sex with women where they cannot say no.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He\u00a0further discussed the scandal, when Cheadle was asked what his thoughts were regarding Cosby giving drugs to\u00a0women to\u00a0“relax” them, to which he responded:<\/p>\n

“I don’t buy his story, personally, that he did this to relax her. No! You’re a f****n’ predator to me.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cheadle also mention from what he\u00a0remembered\u00a0once, while working with Cosby in the past for a short period of time;\u00a0Cosby’s unpleasant ways extended beyond his intimate interactions with women \u2014 his professional etiquette was also apparently sub par.<\/p>\n

“I worked with the dude for five minutes and I always kind of feel like you can tell how a person is based on how they treat the ‘least among you,’ or the lesser among you,” he said. “That’s really to me how a person is, and he treated the extras [on set] like s**t. He treated the people around him that were in an assistance position \u2014 he didn’t treat them well. I don’t shine on people who are like,\u00a0‘Yeah, I treat all the leads cool and then I yell at the guy who’s getting me coffee.’ You should be really, really nice to that guy. That, to me, told me who he was.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
