The album received renewed attention in 2014 after numerous reports were publicized of multiple women who accused Cosby of sexual assault and rape. Many of their accounts asserted Cosby first drugged them prior to the assault. "The Village Voice" reported on the similarities between the stories by the women accusers and Cosby's "Spanish Fly" routine on the album where he recounted his desire to slip the drug into women's drinks. The album was not the last time Cosby had extolled the uses of the drug Spanish fly on women — he subsequently wrote about it in his 1991 book "Childhood" published by Putnam, and again recounted the story in a 1994 interview with the "Greensboro News & Record". Comparisons between the "Spanish Fly" story by Cosby and the asserted incidents of sexual assault were reported on by multiple publications including "The Boston Globe", the "International Business Times", the "Chicago Sun-Times", "The Washington Post", "Philadelphia Daily News", and CNN. In an investigative journalism article about the sexual assault assertions by multiple women against Cosby, "The Washington Post" characterized the "Spanish Fly" routine as "particularly insensitive".
