Keshia Knight Pulliam, The Apprentice 2015: Fired Actress Defends Her Decision & Bill Cosby's Scandal on Wendy Williams, 'They're Still Just Allegations' [VIDEO]
Last night, season 14 of Donald Trump's hit reality competition show, "The Apprentice" aired on NBC. Unfortunately, "The Cosby Show" alum herself, Keshia Knight Pulliam, was "fired" first and it all had to do with her decision to not use the famed television icon as her crutch. Though she brought in more money than other contenders like Kate Gosselin, she was still fired for wanting to accomplish an important task without her beloved television dad.

The morning after her elimination aired, she visited "The Wendy Williams Show" to talk about her elimination. For those who missed the episode, her contenders threw her under the bus, but she wasn't surprised by Kenya Moore's shady tactics and believes Kate Gosselin "deserved to be fired."
Obviously, since "The Apprentice" taped in March, things have drastically changed for Mr. Cosby, as he battles allegations of sexual assault from dozens of women. Keshia defended Cosby and her decision all at once.

"The show was 30 years ago... How would you feel if someone you worked with, it's been 5 years since you talked, called you up and said 'Can you write me a check right quick?" Pulliam asked Wendy, who insists she would have called Mr. Cosby, no matter what.
Still, Pulliam did not back down. She continued, "I did what I felt in my heart was right and I would do it the same way... I won't compromise who I am as a woman for 15 minutes of fame."
As you know, Wendy did not let her leave without getting her opinion on the Bill Cosby allegations and Keshia defended Cosby, fiercely. "That's not the man I know," she said before mentioning his scholarship efforts and his personal accomplishment of changing the view of the African American family on television with "The Cosby Show."
Finally, she stated, "At the end of the day, they are allegations, I wasn't there... I don't have that story to tell of him."
