You go, curl! She’s bravest woman in land

Forget the pink hats. We should all curl our hair in acknowledgment and support of the bravest woman in America, Andrea Constand, the first female courageous enough to stand up to all the power of Hollywood and demand the impossible and win the unbelievable.

She is the one who showed us what can be done, without ever bending, breaking or letting the bad guys win.

Because this noncelebrity former college basketball player stood her ground in the face of overwhelming odds, we finally came to see for ourselves that her assailant and hoped-for mentor, Bill Cosby, a.k.a. America’s Dad, is and was, to borrow his words, an a--hole who allegedly drugged and assaulted dozens and dozens women with total disregard for their lives and zero regard for the law.

And I say that with all due disrespect — the same kind that he himself has shown not just the women he is accused of assaulting, but the courts and the law.

Earlier Thursday, Bill Cosby, still so cloaked in Hollywood hubris that he not only didn’t apologize as even the worst of the predators have done, but instead enraged, yelled that the prosecutor was an a--hole for saying he was a flight risk.

“He doesn’t have a plane, you a--hole,” Cosby shouted. He? Talk about being disconnected from your alleged crimes and not accepting the blame for the ruination of more than 60 women’s lives over a 50-year reign of terror.

If it weren’t for this unsung heroine, who demanded not only that a small-time prosecutor in Pennsylvania listen to her pleas but that he go after one of the richest and most powerful men in entertainment — perhaps the countless women who came out afterwards to bring down other Hollywood moguls, would never have had the courage to do so.

And how tough must it have been for her to do that? This was Bill Cosby after all who had hoodwinked the world into believing he was everybody’s idea of a kindly, fantasy father. He had fantasies all right — but they weren’t of the fatherly sort. And now the world knows the truth.

So thank you, Ms. Constand, from the bottom of our millions of hearts, for living out the truth of your name and being constant in standing up even when you knew the chances of winning were as slim as one of your women’s college teams beating the Golden State Warriors.

Thank you, too, for displaying the courage that gave other women — women unlike you who were famous but didn’t feel powerful enough — the chance to also expose and unleash what would turn out to be the filthy secret of scores of Hollywood honchos.

You, Andrea Constand are the genuine face of #MeToo. So let’s all curl our hair in thanks and pride.
