Judd Apatow wrote about Bill Cosby in his forward for his new book, 'Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy.'

Judd Apatow hasn't been shy about his disgust over Bill Cosby.

The director, who is currently promoting his new comedy, Trainwreck (starring Amy Schumer), has been one of his former idol's most outspoken critics since allegations broke last fall, taking his barbs from awards season to his latest book tour. So when the Cosby drug revelation hit on Monday, Apatow immediately took to Twitter.

"You were right," replied Norm Macdonald to Apatow on Twitter. "The (expletive) is guilty as sin. I hope they take so much money they bust him flat."

Apatow simultaneously gave Esquire a lengthy statement on his thoughts, calling on both Cosby's wife, Camille, and his Cosby Show wife, Phylicia Rashad, to finally speak out.

I don't think there is anything new here. It is only new to people who didn't believe an enormous amount of women who stated clearly that he drugged them. We shouldn't need Bill Cosby to admit it to believe forty people who were victimized by him. I am sure there are many victims who have not come forward. Maybe now more people in show business and all around our country will stand up and tell the people he attacked that we support you and believe you. I also hope Camille Cosby and Phylicia Rashad will now stand with the victims and not with their attacker.

Here's Apatow discussing Cosby on The Late Show with Seth Meyers last month.

And a peek inside the first page of his new book, Sick in the Head, Conversations about Life and Comedy, courtesy of Salon:

"I have been completely obsessed with comedy for about as long as I can remember. I blame my dad. My dad was not a comedian, but he may have secretly longed to be one. When I was a kid, he would play us Bill Cosby records and even took me to see him perform at Hofstra University for my birthday when I was in fifth grade. (Note: In this introduction, I was going to talk at length about Bill Cosby, but I can't, in good conscience, because he has more sexual accusers than I have had partners.)
