Comedian Damon Wayans has come under fire for calling the women who accuse Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them 'unrapeable' and 'b**ches.'

Wayans, 55, made his outlandish comments doing an interview with Charlamagne Tha God on Power 105.1 FM's The Breakfast Club.

He questioned why the women had waited several decades to tell their story, and added: 'How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?'

Comedian Damon Wayans (pictured on The Breakfast Club on Friday) has come under fire for branding the women who have come forward and accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them 'b**ches'

Wayans, pictured, questioned why the women had waited '40 years' to tell their story, even though several did come forward years ago

Cosby has denied the sexual assault and rape allegations and says that any sex was consensual

Wayans added: 'If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink wink, give her all my money, and then I would go to a deposition, I'd light one of them three-hour cigars, I'd have me some wine, and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don't believe that he was raping.

'I think he was in relationships with all of them, and then he's like: 'You know what, it's 78, it don't work no more, I can't get it up for any of y'all, bye b**ches,' And now they're like, 'Oh, really? Rape.'

Charlamagne raised the point that many of the women who had come forward to accuse Cosby of rape and sexual assault first made the allegations years ago.

Yet Wayans stood firm, firing back: 'But if you listen to them talk, they go, 'Well, the first time.' The first time? B**ch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they're saying.

'And some of them, really, is unrapeable. When you look, I look at them and go, 'No, he don't want that. Get outta here!'

Wayans, who found fame in his 1990s TV show In Living Color and appearances on Saturday Night Live, was blasted by social media users.

@Chelpixie tweeted: 'Seems @DamonkWayans doesn't respect women. Damon Wayans Defends Bill Cosby, Calls 'B**ches' 'Un-rape-able'.

Linda Kirkpatrick, now 58, claims she remembers Cosby lying on top of her and trying to kiss her

Barbara Bowman, who was an aspiring actress in the 1980s, says she 'was drugged half the time she was with' Cosby

After the backlash, Wayans admitted that there may be cases where Cosby was in fact guilty.

He said: 'For anybody who was raped by Bill Cosby, I'm sorry, and I hope you get justice.'

At least 40 women have gone public and alleged that Cosby, 78, raped them.

In a stark illustration of the scale of his alleged offences, New York magazine photographed and interviewed 35 of the accusers and created a striking cover for its July issue.

The entertainer faces a criminal investigation by Los Angeles police but has not been charged.
