*Actress Jenifer Lewis delivered a strong message to black athletes during her candid interview at The Breakfast Club in New York City on Tuesday, May 15. She also recalled a troubling encounter with a woman concerning Bill Cosby.

The hour-long interview kicked off with Lewis airing out her frustration with the issues that continue to plague the country. Last football season, when African-American football players were met with opposition over their decision to kneel for the National Anthem, “Blackish” — the hit NBC sitcom on which Lewis currently co-stars, tackled the issue, but the episode was ultimately nixed by the Network. So of course, that was a topic of discussion during the interview. But how does Jenifer Lewis feel about that situation?

She explained why players should continue to stay “woke” and support the movement… most especially the ones with white wives and biracial children.

At the 5:05 mark of the video above, Lewis breaks it all down.

Later, she recalls a troubling encounter she had with a woman concerning Bill Cosby.

“The Mother of Black Hollywood” briefly discussed the disgraced comedian when asked about him in connection with her time on “The Cosby Show.”

When host Charlamagne Tha God asks if she had ever seen anything “suspicious,” Lewis responds:

“…I saw some suspicious s**t, yes I did, yes I did.”

She then details an encounter years ago where she met a young woman who alleged she was raped by Cosby. Reflecting on the interaction, Lewis said, “There’s some sh*t you can’t fake… now why would this child roll up and say some s**t like that to me?” she added explaining that it’s unrealistic to think the woman was lying.

Hear the graphic way she explains the encounter at the 55:00 mark:

Lewis also wants you to know that new book tour dates will be announced soon.
