Bill Cosby Just Sent a Tweet to His Fans After Wednesday Arrest — and It Totally Backfired

For the first time since his arrest on Wednesday, embroiled American comedian Bill Cosby broke his silence to the public. In a minimalist tweet Thursday night, Cosby, 78, wrote, "Friends and fans, Thank You."

Reacting to Cosby's Thursday tweet, users on the social media platform were divided, though the vast majority skewed toward disapproval. Reactions ranged from "what about the victims?" to "stop denying your horrendous crimes."
