In the premiere episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Keisha Knight Pulliam was appointed as the female team’s project manager and fired for not calling Bill Cosby to help reach her goal.
Pulliam needed to raise money for her team for the Project Pie Face competition but choose not to reach out to Cosby for a donation. She contacted Russell Simmons, Ludacris and Tyler Perry (to name a few) to donate funds because she felt they could “deliver the quickest.” Unfortunately, her team didn’t make their financial goal and her teammates blamed the actress who once played Cosby’s adorable daughter Rudy on The Cosby Show for not contacting her famed television father.

I respect her for not calling..she was on Wendy Williams today she spoke very highly of Bill & she said she’s not compromising who she is as a women for 15 minutes of fame
I would have called! It’s a game and it’s about winning on that show so it doesn’t matter how long it has been. Call him and raise them funds
^^ you don’t use your own money…it’s about pulling in donors
She shouldn’t be broke anyway, they still get paid off the reruns..
I don’t blame her. How would it make Mr. Cosby feel to have someone he hasn’t seen or talked in that long a time, call and ask him for money. I understood her reasoning.
She hadn’t spoken to him in 6 years…she felt uncomfortable calling him…this was filmed before the scandal had hit
