Wyatt and his associate, Ebonee Benson, revealed on Good Day Alabama on Thursday, June 22, that Cosby wants to “get back to work” with a motivational speaking tour.

“We’re now planning town halls and we’re going to be coming to [Birmingham] sometime in July … to talk to young people because this is bigger than Bill Cosby,” Wyatt said. “This issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes of today, and they need to know what they’re facing when they’re hanging out and partying, when they’re doing certain things that they shouldn’t be doing. And it also affects married men.”

When asked how Cosby, 79, was doing, Wyatt said: “He was excited to go home — his life was at stake, his freedom was at stake — go home and spend time with Mrs. Cosby and his children and just celebrate Father’s Day.”
