Bill Cosby and Donald Trump will get to keep their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has been asked whether it will remove
stars of both embattled public figures from the world-famous Walk of
Fame, but the business development organization in charge of the iconic
landmark said no.
In a
statement obtained by TheWrap, Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce President and CEO, said the group "has received inquiries
asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Donald Trump and
Bill Cosby. The answer is no. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered
historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is
considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk."
Earl
Ofari Hutchinson of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable and Najee
Ali of Project Islamic Hope asked for the removal of Cosby's star in a
letter addressed to the Chamber.
