“Because the show was taken off the air, it’s literally taking money out of my pocket,” Warner said during an interview that aired Monday on “The Real” talk show. “So I got my own personal feelings about that, because it personally affects me.”
“But even outside of that, you just look at how the media is playing this whole thing out. And I can’t help but think about Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Stephen Collins. It’s very clear, you know, the crimes they’ve committed.” (RELATED: This Is Bill Cosby’s Mug Shot)

“There’s no one that has been calling for Woody’s movies to be pulled off the air,” he continued.
“Roman Polanski is still celebrated. Stephen Collins’s show still comes on. So it’s just interesting how it’s very unbalanced. They were trying to take Mr. Cosby’s star off the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And I am in no position to defend him because I can’t. But nor will I throw him under the bus.” (RELATED: R.
