Apatow, whoexecutive produced Girlsand is behindNanjiani's latest film The Big Sick, said "if Cosby's defense is true he is admitting to cheating hundreds of times on his wife with the use of quaaludes."

"He admits to giving her Benadryl," Apatow wrote, referring to Cosby's2005 deposition whichwas submitted into evidence during the trial."That's a liebut even that is evil. Who does that?"

She added: "Heart goes out to women who came forward. Without that courage there will be more victims."
