Bill Cosby's spokeswoman denies that his upcoming town hall meetings will be about sexual assault.

Instead, Ebonee Benson says the speaking tour is about restoring the formerly beloved Cosby Show actor's legacy.

It was previously reported that the talks would be about sexual assault and the law and that Cosby planned to educate men on how to avoid assault allegations.

A jury of seven men and five women were unable to come to a decision regarding Cosby's alleged sexual assault against Andrea Constand a week ago. Judge Steven O'Neill declared the case a mistrial after 52 hours of deadlocked deliberations.

While appearing on CNN New Day Weekend on Sunday morning, Benson said "The town hall meetings are not about sexual assault. I will repeat: These town hall meetings are not about sexual assault.

"When we initially talked about the town hall meetings, it was about restoration of legacy," she said.
