Bill Cosby's publicist calls Eddie Murphy a “Hollywood slave”

Bill Cosby’s publicist lashed out at Eddie Murphy after Murphy took potshots at Cosby while guest hosting this weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

In his opening monologue, Murphy contrasted himself with Cosby — formerly a comedian and now an imprisoned sex offender — as he discussed how the world had changed in the decades since the last time he hosted the show in 1984.

To date, 35 women have accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them.

So far, Murphy seems to be having the last laugh; ratings for his SNL comeback were the show’s highest in two-and-a-half years.

Neither he nor Saturday Night Live have responded to Cosby.
