Lisa Bonet, Billy Cosby's "reel-life" daughter has remained silent on allegations that Mr. Cosby had drugged and sexually abused more than than 30 women who have come forward with accusations. Lisa used to play Bill Cosby's rebellious daughter Denise Huxtable in the 1980's sitcom, "The Cosby Show."

In a recent interview, Lisa's real-life daughter Zoe Kravitz described her mum's reaction as "disgusted and concerned."

"She hasn't, she really hasn't (talked about it)... she'd plead the fifth, even to me," Zoe told The Guardian. "She's just as disgusted and concerned as everyone else is, but I don't think she has any insight. It's news to her as well."

"She was on the show (The Cosby Show) for a long time," Zoe added. "She's also a beautiful woman. She's a very straightforward person. If there was something she felt the world needed to know that would help this case or help any women who had been abused, she would say something."

Cosby has been in the limelight for allegations of sexual assault which reportedly involved up to 50 women, but Bonet has so far refused to comment on the scandal.

Joseph C. Phillips, who played Lisa's onscreen husband for three seasons, wrote a post titled "Of Course Bill Cosby Is Guilty!"

He expressed that the Cosby co-stars were inundated by the inquiries.

"The Bill Cosby I know has been great to me and great for a lot of people. . . . I can't speak on the other stuff," said Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Cosby's TV son.

Cosby's youngest on screen daughter Keisha Knight Pulliam said, "No one was there except for the two people to know exactly what happened. All I can speak to is the man that I know and I love."

"I think it's orchestrated," Phylicia Rashad, Cosby's onscreen wife said. "I don't know why or who's doing it, but it's the legacy. And it's a legacy that is so important to the culture. . . . Someone is determined to keep Bill Cosby off TV. And it's worked."

None of "The Cosby Show" stars have affirmed the Cosby allegations are true.
