“Love my mom,” she posted on Monday after her mother her Camille Cosby released a statement to the media defending her husband.
Evin also voiced a strong opinion on rape.

“Rape is a serious allegation and it is suppose to be taken VERY seriously but so is Falsely accusing someone. When someone rapes a person they go to prison. THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people’s life they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped,” she wrote.
She questioned the validity of the alleged victims’ recollections of the supposed incidents.
“Drugged- you can remember the whole damn day but you were drugged? Just sayin. Memory- you can remember you looked at (allegedly) eachother, people were starring allegedly remembering your home address allegedly the name you called him allegedly But you were allegedly drugged,” Evin said.
Evin also took time to express gratitude for the support she and her family has received.

“I would like to thank EVERYONE that has been sharing, voicing and putting their beautiful positive energy out there for me and my family. There will always be jealous, vengeful and crazy people out there to break anyone down. Everyday we wake up and appreciate the love and support from everyone. There’s more positive in life then we think. It’s the BS that can be overwhelming. We keep fighting each day. The challenges in life can only make us stronger. The ones that are angry can’t live as easy as the ones that can love, RESPECT and not to find the easy way out by making FALSE accusations. It’s a shame how some people sit behind the computer waiting for bad things to happen to someone. Isn’t it easier to be happy? And to want the best for someone that has done such great things in life? It could be a friend, a family or a pet…. Just be HAPPY! It’s waaaaay easier. Thank you again!,” she posted. “Thank you Jill Scott and Faizon Love!! I would also like say THANK YOU for the all the other intelligent people that know what this is! We are standing strong! Xoxo- Evin”.
UPDATE: On Tuesday, Cosby accuser Barbara Bowman also released an exclusive statement to Access Hollywood, where she spoke about Cosby’s wife, Camille.
“I can’t imagine the torment, anguish and deep disappointment Camille Cosby must be experiencing now. As she comes to terms with the raw reality of what her husband has caused as his partner of 50 years, she must be shedding tears for her family and for other families across this nation. Bill Cosby is not the man I thought I knew,” Bowman — who was the first Cosby accuser to come forward this year, with an interview in The Daily Mail in November – said in her statement to Access.
Shortly after Bowman’s claim was made public, Cosby’s attorney called such brand new claims about “decades old events… increasingly ridiculous.”
