She followed up by saying, "There was no knowledge on my part about his specific actions, but... there was just energy. And that type of sinister, shadow energy cannot be concealed."
Bonet also made it clear that Cosby never did anything inappropriate to her, saying, "And if I had anything more to reveal, then it would have happened a long time ago. That's my nature. The truth will set you free."
Bonet, 50, also talked about butting heads with Cosby over her decision to appear in the dark, sexy film "Angel Heart" (1987).

I just leave all that to karma and justice and what will be."
