Comedian Hannibal Buress has opened up a can of worms that had been erased from the collective memory of most Americans.

During his show at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia on Thursday, October 23, Buress accused fellow comedian and actor Bill Cosby being a serial rapist.

Hannibal Buress (right) alleges Bill Cosby is a rapist.

"And it's even worse because Bill Cosby has the fucking smuggest old black man public persona that I hate. Pull your pants up, black people. I was on TV in the '80s. I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom. Yeah, but you raped women, Bill Cosby. So, brings you down a couple notches. I don't curse on stage. Well, yeah, you're a rapist, so, I'll take you sayin' lots of motherfuckers on Bill Cosby: Himself if you weren't a rapist. …I want to just at least make it weird for you to watch Cosby Show reruns. …I've done this bit on stage, and people don't believe. People think I'm making it up. …That shit is upsetting. If you didn't know about it, trust me. You leave here and google 'Bill Cosby rape.' It's not funny. That shit has more results than Hannibal Buress."

A woman by the name of Barbara Bowman threw gasoline of the fire when she described in vivid detail years of being drugged and raped by Cosby while in her teens.

Bowman claims the assaults went on between the ages of 17-19. She told the Daily Mail the it began in 1985. Cosby was supposed to be her mentor, but turned into her tormentor.

I was drugged and raped by that man. He is a monster. He came at me like a monster. My hope is that others who have experienced sexual abuse will not be intimidated into silence by the famous, rich and powerful. If I can help one victim, then I've done my job. I'm finally revealing all of my full story in hopes that others will learn to read the tell-tale signs of abuse and not wait as long as I did. No one believed me for years. They said Bill would never do that. That it was preposterous. But I'm putting my name out there and standing behind these words, just like Burress. No more code of silence. I've been silent too long. It's time to raise a fuss. I'm a real person that this happened to. And it's taken decades to get over what he did to me. I thank Hannibal Burress for speaking out over and over again, despite the threats from the Industry that it could ruin his career. He is standing up for me and the other women who are too afraid to speak out.

In 2004 another woman, Andrea Constand, filed a civil lawsuit against Cosby. Her allegations were similar to Bowman's.

13 women, including Bowman, were prepared to testify against Cosby during Constand's trial, but didn't get the chance to because Constand settled out of court.

Social media has chimed in on the allegations.
