Sarah Silverman sets the record straight on the joke she made about Bill Cosby rape scandal on Twitter. The stand-up comedienne makes a revision to her earlier joke after getting mixed reactions from her online followers.

"Bill Cosby gave me one of those 'don't be dirty' lectures but I was unconscious & he was talking about my a-hole," she initially tweeted. "Too soon," one commented, while another replied, "Your joke makes light of women's actual pain. Not OK."


In a more favorable comment, a fan explained, "Obviously her joke is about the hypocrisy of Cosby being a rapist while always giving comedians sh*t about 'working clean.' "

Silverman herself was quick to clarify. "If I could rewrite my last tweet I'd edit it thus," she posted, before adding, "Bill Cosby gave me one of those 'don't be dirty' lectures but I was rendered unconscious."
