Jaleel White Explains 'Context' Behind Bill Cosby, R. Kelly Memoir Mentions


Jaleel White exclusively told Us Weekly about his decision to mention Bill Cosby and R. Kelly in his memoir in the aftermath of their respective controversies

In various passages from Growing Up Urkel, which was published on Tuesday, November 19, White, 47, recalled his separate interactions with Bill Cosby and R. Kelly ahead of their individual sexual assault scandals. “Separating the sheer magnitude of Mr. C’s influence from the horrific personal accounts that rightfully overshadows his legacy creates an insurmountable challenge when attempting to discuss the past. R. Kelly has since asked the United States Supreme Court to overturn his 2022 conviction of child pornography and engaging in sex with a minor, claiming that the charges exceeded the statute of limitations.
