Geoffrey Owens’ message to job-shamers: Honor the ‘dignity of work’

The dignity of work for a person.

A few media outlets posted pictures of a former Cosby Show actor who was found working at a Trader Joe’s.

But people on social media didn’t mock the former actor but rallied to him.

The actor, Geoffrey Owens, slammed the entertainment media:

“They set out to exploit the thing in us, in the public, that wants to see stories about people who were once great or celebrated, now fallen.”

He added that he hoped people would “start honoring the dignity of work and the dignity of the working person.”
