The disgraced comedic legend Bill Cosby got some bad news earlier this month when a Pennsylvania parole board denied his bid to be released from prison.

A spokesperson for the parole board told Page Six that Cosby, 83, was turned down on May 11. The board had various reasons behind denying Cosby parole, including his failure to complete the treatment program and for not developing a “parole release plan.” On top of that, Cosby got a negative review from the state’s department of corrections.

“We knew he was going to be rejected. He called me and told me that if he didn’t take the course, he would be denied,” said Cosby spokesperson Andrew Wyatt.

Cosby was sentenced to three- to 10-years in prison in September 2018 after being convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home in 2004. He tried to appeal his conviction, but he was shut down by Pennsylvania’s Superior Court in December of 2019.

Wyatt said this week that Cosby will continue to appeal his case and is hopeful the state Supreme Court will eventually vacate his conviction and grant him a new trial.

“He has maintained his innocence from the beginning,” Wyatt said.

Cosby’s wife Camille Cosby has stood by his side throughout this, and has publicly blasted the over sixty women who have accused her husband of sexual misconduct.

“The #MeToo movement and movements like them have intentional ignorance pertaining to the history of particular white women — not all white women — but particular white women, who have from the very beginning, pertaining to the enslavement of African people, accused black males of sexual assault without any proof whatsoever, no proof, anywhere on the face of the earth,” she said last year.

“And by ignoring that history, they have put out a lie in itself and that is, ‘Because I’m female, I’m telling the truth.’ Well history disproves that, as well, and gender has never, ever equated with truth. So, they need to clean up their acts. And it’s all of us as women who have not participated anything nefarious — we know how women can lie. We know how they can do the same things that men do — that some men do — because there are good men and bad men. There are good women and bad women.”
