Under these circumstances, who can bear to make a joke from the tragic experiences of numerous persons, with the possibility that others are still unnamed nor have the courage to say their piece.

Roseanne Barr might have taken the issue about Bill Cosby with a light heart, so much so, that she was able to post in jest a selfie image of her bloody, swollen and deformed face  via twitter account, insinuating a joke about 'a tussle with Cosby,' USA Today revealed.

It failed to generate the expected reaction, hence, Barr decided to delete the tweet with an explanation that she was just kidding. This was followed by another one on November 26 which runs, "Got a chemical peel to look sexier. Joked about tussling cosbypic.twitter.com/2tiRMy3WEj- Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne)."

For whatever reason that pushed Barr to make a joke about Cosby's saga is beyond one's imagination. It should be taken as a form of self expression instead.

As Cosby's status gradually gets darkened with allegations of criminal acts against women mostly those who have been under his tutelage decades ago, Barr's joke will amuse neither of the parties; the aggrieved with their pent up emotions and the aggressor with the burden of being put on trial.

Amidst the controversy haunting him now, EOnline revealed that Cosby recently performed in the Bahamas, at the Atlantis Resort.  He came back onstage dressed in a shirt with "Hello Friend" print paired with sweat pants and flip-flops. He performed jokes on topics ranging from his personal upbringing, to religious and racial concerns.
