The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona don't want embattled comedian Bill Cosby at their gaming facilities.

Both tribes canceled 2015 performances by the legendary entertainer. No reasons were given but Cosby has been losing gigs nationwide as more women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault, abuse and harassment.

"So glad you did," one patron said on the Facebook page of the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, where Cosby was due to perform in January 2015.

Cosby was due to appear at the Desert Diamond Casino in Sahuarita in February 2015.
