A 15-year-old sculptor is on a quest to replace two public statues honoring Bill Cosby, including one in Walt Disney World, with his own creation intended to shame the disgraced comedian.
Rodman Edwards’ proposed artwork is a bronze statue called “Fat Albert Cries for Dr. Huxtable.” It depicts a miniature Fat Albert, a cartoon character voiced by Cosby, covering the genitals of the naked, bloated body of Dr. Cliff Huxtable, the protagonist of “The Cosby Show.”

“Hall of Fame statues should not be exempt from reevaluation. Sometimes they need to be removed or replaced,” Allen said in a press release. “Joe Paterno’s statue was taken down following the 2011 Penn State sex abuse scandal. Maybe the TV Hall of Fame and Disney should take note.”
The Television Academy did not respond to calls from The Huffington Post.
