UFC champ Jon “Bones” Jones says he doesn’t believe the allegations against Bill Cosby, saying the legendary actor always seemed way too classy to be a rapist.
TMZ Sports caught up with Jon Jones at LAX Friday when he explained why he found the rape allegations pretty hard to believe. “I’ve never met him, but from what I’ve seen he seems to be a class act. I kinda grew up admiring him.”
This is actually why many people find the allegations hard to believe as Cosby was seen as the type of man and father everyone aspired to be and have, based on his role on The Cosby Show.
In fact, Jones also joked that Cosby was such a huge star, he wouldn’t need to rape women, he could have anybody he wants.
This is also a common belief amongst most people. Usually when someone famous is facing accusations like this, people think they’re too rich and well known to have to take sex from anyone, especially with so many women after stars.
It’s actually a misconception. Rape isn’t always about sex, sometimes it’s about the power the person is able to exert over someone else, but I won’t get too much into that.
Still, Jones adds … “I hope [the allegations are] not true.”
