Lisa Bonet reportedly ‘disgusted and concerned’ with Bill Cosby allegations, says daughter Zoë Kravitz

Former Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet, who played Bill Cosby’s daughter Denise Huxtable on the sitcom, is reportedly “disgusted and concerned” with the allegations against her former TV dad, according to daughter Zoë Kravitz.

Former Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet, who played Bill Cosby's daughter Denise Huxtable on the sitcom, is reportedly "disgusted and concerned" with the allegations against her ex-TV dad, according to daughter Zoë Kravitz.

Bonet starred alongside Cosby on the show from 1984 to 1991, but has so far turned down opportunities to comment on the more than 50 sexual assault allegations against Cosby. Now, though, her daughter has weighed in on the subject for her in an interview with the Guardian.

"She's just as disgusted and concerned as everyone else, but I don't think she has any insight," Kravitz recently told the Guardian. "It's news to her as well."

Kravitz also claimed that her mother has been reserved about the topic in personal settings as well, saying that "she'd plead the fifth, even to me." However, Kravitz also maintained that her mother would step forward with new information if she had it.

"She's a very straightforward person," the Mad Max: Fury Road star told the Guardian. "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."

Bonet, however, has not addressed the allegations in public directly, save for her daughter's statements.

Kravitz, for her part, formerly fronted the Philadelphia-based indie band, Elevator Fight. Her father is famed rock musician Lenny Kravitz.

Cosby has never been charged with a crime in connection with the more than 50 sexual assault allegations he faces. Next month, he will reportedly give a new deposition in connection with accuser Judy Huth's allegations.
