During his time in jail, in which he said he was a “privileged man” and his cell was a “penthouse”, Cosby participated in a reform programme called Mann Up. In the interview he clarified that we wasn’t part of the association, but he was a regular speaker.
“I never wanted them to lord me up [be put on a pedestal]. This is a great privilege.”
