In an interview with Access Hollywood, Roseanne Barr spoke about the allegations against Bill Cosby and how she thinks the comedian should handle the situation. Barr's ROSEANNE aired in the '80s alongside THE COSBY SHOW and was produced by the same company.

"...like every woman in Hollywood -- there's hardly any hairdressers or waitresses or working women who don't know somebody. We've all heard it for a long time, and it surprises nobody," Barr said about the rumors.

She went on to say: "I have hopes for this great comic. I do. I have hopes that he would just make it clean, and make it, you know, make it right, and I do think he could do that...I mean, there's none of us alive who can't go, 'I made a mistake. I had a really bad problem and I'm fessing up to it. And here's a scholarship.' ... You know, there's a million ways around it to go. But there's nothing more powerful than, 'I am sorry.'"

The 77-year-old comedian has been accused of drugging and assaulting a number of women over the years. Cosby has not been charged with a crime and through his attorney has denied allegations.

Since ROSEANNE, Barr has appeared in 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN, MY NAME IS EARL, PORTLANDIA, THE MILLERS and CRISTELA.
