Bill Cosby's stand up tour has been crumbling as at least seven shows across six states have been canceled, according to NBC News.
Despite the cancelation of the shows, Bill Cosby was welcomed by a cheering audience that greeted him with a standing ovation during his show in Florida on Friday, according to the Huffington Post.
Although "The Cosby Show" star didn't address the sexual assault allegations that have continued to come forward during the performance, he did talk about the accusations after the show.
"I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos," Bill Cosby told the Florida Today newspaper.
He continued, "People should fact check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."
Alleged victims of Bill Cosby have continued to surface, but supporters of the comedian have spoken up against the accusations. Tom Werner, who cofounded the Carsey-Werner Company which produced "The Cosby Show," reportedly defended Cosby in a statement to the Boston Globe.
"The Bill we knew was a brilliant and wonderful collaborator on a show that changed the landscape of television," Werner and partner Marcy Carsey said in a statement.
He continued, "These recent news reports are beyond our knowledge on comprehension."
The sexual assault accusations have affected the once legendary comedian's career, as NBC and Netflix reportedly canceled their projects with Bill Cosby. Despite the surprising support that Cosby got during his recent show, the accusations have led former fans of the comedian to turn their backs as well.
Julie Lemaitre of Florida was reportedly seen protesting outside the theater before the show with a sign that read "Rape is no joke," in order to try to say to people attending "think about what you're doing."
