Suffice it to say, Phylicia Rashad’s defense of Bill Cosby did not go over that well with two of the legendary comedian’s sexual assault accusers.

Rashad, who played the embattled star’s wife on The Cosby Show, is not only off base in trying to turn the tables on his accusers, she’s morally bankrupt.

At least according to Sarita Butterfield, a former Playboy model and one of more than 20 women who claims Cosby once put his hands all over her.

Sarita is incredulous at the fact that Rashad would blindly support her former co-star, telling us, "What if something like this happened to her daughter?"

"Shame on her and shame on Bill," Butterfield adds.

Another accuser, Angela Leslie, was equally shocked at Rashad, saying, "I looked at her as a woman with morals, and it’s sad that she’s speaking like this."

Angela dismisses Rashad’s conspiracy theory – Phylicia implied the clams were "orchestrated" to destroy Bill’s "legacy" – with one hard to refute fact.

The Bill Cosby sexual assault accusers are not only plentiful, they strangers to each other, vary widely in age and are spread out all over the country.

Good luck trying to stage that, in other words.

Right on cue, attorney Gloria Allred rolled out THREE new accusers today, following the likes of Beverly Johnson, Janice Dickinson and more.

Many more.
