"If there’s some sort of outburst, we just have to remain calm and things will be taken care of..."
Bill Cosby Confronted by Hecklers During Final Show of Canadian Tour
http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-hecklers-show-canada-comedy-tour-sexual-assault-allegations
After the audience was warned of possible disruptions during the comedian's performance at Hamilton Place Theater in Ontario, the group of approximately 30 hecklers stood up and chanted, "We believe the women," before leaving the venue voluntarily, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
As Cosby tried to calm the audience, which included others yelling, "We believe the men, we love you, Bill," security moved in on the group of women, who had taken off their coats to display their handmade shirts, which were written with "We Believe the Women" on the front. But before they could be shown the door, Cosby called out to the security team, "Stop, stop, let them ... let them have their say."
Following the women's departure, a man stood up in the audience and yelled, "You're a piece of s---. You rapist," before being escorted outside.
Prior to the protesters' shouts, Cosby addressed the crowd, saying, "Whatever happens here tonight, if there's some sort of outburst, we just have to remain calm and things will be taken care of."
