...contacts between Cosby and both Jackson and her mother, Shawn Thompson. Baum said it was Cosby who suggested Thompson list her former boyfriend, Gerald Jackson, as the father on Autumn's birth certificate. (Cosby's attorney denies the allegation.) Baum traced years of "gifts" bestowed by Cosby, including trust funds and cars for both women and a front-row seat for Jackson at the 1991 taping of the final episode of The Cosby Show.
