It’s a somber day for the Cosby family as they bid farewell to Ensa Cosby. On Friday, February 23, 2018, the world lost a remarkable woman at the age of 44. According to reports from TMZ, Ensa passed away in Massachusetts under circumstances that remain unclear. While medical issues are believed to have contributed to her passing, the family is still grappling with the loss. This heartbreaking moment comes just one month before her father, Bill Cosby, faces his rape retrial—a trial that has been the center of public debate and scrutiny for years. Ensa was a steadfast supporter of her father throughout the allegations against him, and her voice was powerful and unwavering.
Ensa Cosby's Resilience and Voice
Ensa wasn’t just a daughter; she was a voice of reason and resilience during some of the darkest days for the Cosby family. In a statement to The Breakfast Club, she spoke with clarity and emotion about the challenges her family faced. “The accusations against my father have been one-sided from the beginning. When he tried to defend himself, he was met with lawsuits in civil court,” she explained. Her words carry weight, reflecting the frustration and pain her family endured. Ensa watched as her father’s reputation, built on years of groundbreaking work in entertainment, was overshadowed by allegations. “I’ve seen the accusations become more extreme and horrific over time, and I’ve witnessed how my father’s legacy and works have been dismissed without proof,” she continued. Her belief in her father’s innocence was unshakable, and she often highlighted what she believed to be the racial undertones of the scandal. “Racism has played a significant role in this entire situation—how the charges came about, how they were believed without scrutiny, and how those who questioned them were silenced,” she said. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with many who have followed the case.
A Legacy of Love and Support
Ensa’s love for her family was evident in everything she did. In the same statement, she expressed her heartbreak over the impact these allegations had on her loved ones. “My father has been publicly lynched in the media. My family, my young daughter, my niece, and nephew have had to endure this injustice and witness these appalling accusations about someone they love dearly,” she shared. The pain of seeing her children and siblings exposed to such negativity was palpable in her words. She described the situation as cruel and unfair, emphasizing the double standards that often exist in public discourse. Ensa was not just a daughter; she was a protector and a voice for her family during a time when they needed it most.

A Family's Second Tragic Loss
Unfortunately, this is not the first time tragedy has struck the Cosby family. In 1997, they lost Ensa’s brother, Ennis Cosby, in a tragic carjacking incident in Los Angeles. The family’s resilience in the face of such loss is a testament to their strength and unity. Now, Ensa leaves behind her parents, Bill and Camille Cosby, her siblings Erika, Erinn, and Evin, and her husband, Martin McLean. Her legacy will undoubtedly live on through the lives she touched and the unwavering support she provided to her family during their most difficult times.
Ensa’s passing leaves a void that will be felt deeply by her family and all who knew her. Her courage, conviction, and love for her family will always be remembered. In times like these, it’s important to honor her memory by reflecting on the impact she had on those around her.
