ONLINE movie streaming giant Netflix is postponing the launch of embattled comedian Bill Cosby’s stand-up comedy special “Bill Cosby 77,” the company said Tuesday, amid accusations that he sexually assaulted several women.

    “At this time we are postponing the launch of the new stand-up comedy special ‘Bill Cosby 77,’” a Netflix spokeswoman said in a statement.

    Allegations that Cosby, 77, drugged and sexually assaulted several young women decades ago gained renewed attention after comedian Hannibal Buress called him a rapist during a standup comedy routine last month.

    The move from Netflix came just days after the airing of a National Public Radio interview in which Cosby, who is married, declined to answer questions about the sexual assault accusations. He has never been charged with the alleged crimes.

    Cosby is currently developing a new sitcom for NBC. NBC declined to comment Tuesday.
