 About Andrea Constand: Andrea Constand is a Registered Massage Therapist specializing in medical massage. The New York Times has called her “the linchpin of the Bill Cosby case,” and the New York Daily News hailed her as “the true hero of #MeToo…the first female courageous enough to stand up to all the power of Hollywood and demand the impossible and win the unbelievable.” She has been the Director of Operations for Temple University’s women’s basketball program, a sports marketing specialist for Nike, and a professional basketball player in Europe. She lives in Toronto.In this episode, Ben, Jennifer, and Andrea Constand discuss:Speaking publicly about sexual assault despite fear, stigma, and institutional barriersHow civil and criminal systems interact in high-profile sexual violence casesMedia and cultural shifts that influence survivor credibility and public beliefThe emotional landscape of healing, empowerment, and survivor resilienceKey Takeaways:Andrea’s decision to report her assault against Bill Cosby, a powerful public figure, revealed how secrecy, social pressure, and power imbalances can shape the experience of seeking justice when an alleged perpetrator holds cultural authority.After the district attorney (publicly) declined to prosecute, Andrea pursued a civil lawsuit that produced deposition testimony and admissions that materially altered the public record and understanding of her case, setting the stage for renewed scrutiny years later.About a decade later, renewed media attention and cultural shifts reignited Andrea’s stalled case, creating space for additional survivors to come forward and prompting a broader reevaluation of accountability and sexual violence.Andrea describes healing as reclaiming wholeness, self-worth, and community connection, emphasizing empowerment over apology, perfect closure, or conventional legal vindication. “Just knowing that you're enough, knowing that you're worthy, knowing that you can heal, knowing that you're significant, knowing that you're cared about, knowing that you're powerful, knowing that you're empowered, and being able to actually love yourself again after something like this — that's what healing looks like." — Andrea Constand Episode References:Andrea Constand Speaks Out About Cosby’s Release From Prison (NBC News): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Z2I3sao_UAndrea Constand, the Woman Bill Cosby Sexually Assaulted in 2004, Recalls the Traumatizing Abuse (People): https://people.com/crime/who-is-andrea-constand-bill-cosby-accuser/Andrea Constand v.
