Cosby activist was on TV

THE topless protester who leapt over a barricade and ran toward Bill Cosby at the start of his sexual assault retrial on Monday is an actress who appeared on the comedian’s family sitcom The Cosby Show as a child.

Nicolle Rochelle, a member of European feminist group Femen, which is known for staging topless protests, said she wanted to send a message to the 80-year-old comedian.

“The main goal was to make Cosby uncomfortable because that is exactly what he has been doing for decades to women,” she told reporters.

She had the names of more than 50 of Cosby’s accusers scrawled on her body.
