Lol...So grateful for family. #SpadesChamp #YesWeHaveBelts #BlessedBeyondMeasure #FamilyOverEverything."
"Getting married" news aside, Keshia Knight Pulliam recently opened up to Access Hollywood about the sexual abuse allegations against his former TV dad Bill Cosby. "Ultimately, I really can't speak to that," she said. "can only speak to the great man that I know and that I love, who has been so generous, who has been such a philanthropist and giving back millions of dollars to education and to schools... and just the man I grew up knowing."
