Geoffrey Owens Got Rescued

After "The Cosby Show" reruns disappeared due to Cosby's crimes being out, royalties dried up for actor Geoffrey Owens, who then had to get a job at Trader Joe's. In 2018, photos of him bagging groceries went public. People online shamed him, and Owens said the attention became so intense that he quit the job. Tyler Perry saw what happened and offered Owens a 10-episode role on "The Haves and the Have Nots," which helped push his acting career forward again.
