Phylicia Rashad fans jumped to the actress’ defense after a Twitter user accused her of enabling former co-star, convicted sexual assaulter and comedian Bill Cosby.

Rashad starred alongside Cosby as Clair Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 - 1992.

"Claire Huxtable was an enabler of the longest and most prolific drug rape predator In US history, Bill Cosby," the user wrote in a since-deleted tweet (via TMZ).

Although Rashad herself hasn’t responded to the backlash, several of her fans were quick to rush to her defense as a Black role model on TV. In addition to fans being annoyed at the troll confusing and misspelling Clair Huxtable’s name with Rashad’s, many were quick to note that the 72-year-old actress had nothing to do with Cosby’s crimes. .

"Neither Claire Huxtable or Phylicia Rashad are responsible for Bill Cosby's actions.  She was his co worker and employee not his supervisor or co conspirator in his crimes," one user wrote. .

2) Phylicia Rashad is an actress & not responsible for Bill Cosby's actions. She worked with him professionally that's it .

The real-life actress who played her on The Cosby Show, Phylicia Rashad, knew nothing about Cosby's abuse of women.
