More than 30 women have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, but the TV legend has refused to cancel or reschedule his current nationwide comedy tour.

Protesters have gathered at venues that hosted his performances, and pundits have urged him to cancel shows out of respect for the women who have come forward, but Cosby has continued to take the stage.

In recent weeks, Cosby has issued statements that many believe show a profound disrespect for the seriousness of the allegations against him. His latest address to fans will likely only make matters worse.

Cosby’s previous statements were in print form, and were criticized for their cheerful tone and failure to directly address the claims made by the alleged victims.

This video message – his first since the scandal began – is already under attack not only for Cosby’s carefree demeanor, but for his choice of attire as well.

The fact that Cosby chose to wear pajamas for his message has taken by many as a passive-aggressive shot at his alleged victims.

Whether or not that’s the case, the video is widely agreed to be the latest in a long like of PR missteps for Cosby.
