Child Star Keishia Knight Pulliam's Cocaine Scandal

Whoa, nelly! First, the Enquirer printed a story about Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle on the unforgettable Saved By The Bell) and her cocaine problem. Now, The Bossip issues an exclusive on Keisha Knight Pulliam, who formerly played youngest child Rudy on The Cosby Show. Since The Cosby Show, Keisha has had notable roles in Beauty Shop and The Gospel, a cameo in one rapper Chingy's videos, and otherwise has appeared in the media garnering a major sexpot image in certain men's magazines. Read on for the story!


Former Cosby Star Keisha Knight Pulliam's Cocaine Usage Discovered
Bossip has exclusively learned that Keisha Knight Pulliam formerly of the Cosby Show (Rudy) has a cocaine habit that goes back years. Multiple sources tell Bossip that Keisha ran in an elite circle of Morehouse and Spelman students in Atlanta who dabbled in cocaine while in college. The source who is a member of this circle says he witnessed Keisha do a line of coke at a party and that one of their friends from Florida dropped out of college and fell on hard times due to this cocaine culture within this elite group of primarily wealthy students. “Keisha still does coke and it is widely known by her friends, it’s not a secret” says a source.
Bossip has contacted members of this circle of Morehouse and Spelman students and Keisha’s cocaine habit is said to be beyond “dabbling”.
Sources tell Bossip that Keisha came to Spelman College during her freshman year "round and plumpy" and not only used cocaine for the high, but to lose weight as well. “Cocaine was the drug of choice to lose weight for the elite group of girls at Spelman” says another source to Bossip. Sources say Keisha still does coke but her habit is “managed and covered up pretty well.” It seems no child star from the Different Strokes and Cosby Show days made it squeaky clean from the child star syndrome.
