This case as well as other cases against Bill Cosby are very disturbing to say the least and has caused major shock waves among Bill Cosby fans. Also this case has pitted women against women, racial divides and fans against non fans.

 

The man is an actor who acts so why is it a problem separating him from his acting roles? Hollywood has delivered us actors who have been proven to be drunks, drug addicts, spousal abusers, child molesters, murderers, thieves and every other awful crime there is. He's been wearing dark glasses for years explaining his medical issues (long before the allegations came up), so now he's faking? He's a senior citizen who's eyes are failing!

 

I for one will be waiting for the trial to learn the evidence that's presented against him, I find myself in the middle and will not be commenting on his looks, his wife, his money or anything else that has nothing to do with what he's charged with! I can't stand the mentality of blaming the wife for a husband's misdeeds!

 


@JaneMarple

 

I understand what you're saying, but Camille called all those women liars, and there's just no way she was clueless to what was going on.   

 

Yes, some women choose to stay married to "womanizers",  but Cosby's bad behavior was common knowledge to insiders.   Unfortunately, he preyed on people who weren't insiders, and even had someone on the payroll to pay off women after the fact just to shut them up.  

 

The SOL has run out on a lot of these situations, but I sincerely hope, as a result of this travesty,  people will put pressure on their lawmakers to adjust the laws for victims who just couldn't bring themselves to immediately deal with the devastation of sexual assault.   JMO

@Tinkrbl44 I still can't fault Camille Cosby or any other wife for their husband's crimes unless they participated. Her calling the accusers liars doesn't bother me as much as people not liking her for sticking with her husband, I stand with my statement of wives are off limits.

Re: BILL COSBY TO STAND TRIAL!

I always really liked Bill Cosby, then I didn't.  That started when he in effect disowned his daughter when she was doing drugs.  Then he began preaching and insulting young people.  I really hated that because I can usually spot a hypocrite a mile away, and by that I mean someone who preaches to others but lives a very different life than one he tells others to live.

 

He did that.

If a wife knows of her husband's misdeeds, and does nothing to try and stop it, then she is just as culpable to his misdeeds as he is, imo.

Re: BILL COSBY TO STAND TRIAL!

She may have known he had affairs but is there any evidence she knew he was drugging women?

Misdeeds? Affairs? Which one are you referring to? Maybe Camille supplied the drugs, is that your point?

I was speaking in general terms, which is why I didn't use names.

Re: BILL COSBY TO STAND TRIAL!

From what I've read, there is no evidence she knew he was drugging women.

 

It seems to me she was in very deep denial of the reality, she may still be.  I wouldn't drag her through the mud unless there was real evidence she knew.
