Bill Cosby's life and business has been completely turned upside down over the last several weeks by a series of allegations that are shocking and impossible to ignore. Had just one or two women gone public with allegations of sexual misconduct, then Cosby would probably be standing on much stronger footing right now. Instead, more than two dozen women have come forward to paint the popular actor and comedian as, at best, manipulative and, at worst, a calculating serial rapist who has spent decades drugging and assaulting young women in Hollywood. Through it all, Cosby's wife of more than 50 years has stood by his side, keeping silent — at least until now.
Camille Cosby has finally decided to speak up and out on behalf of her husband. She issued a simple statement that was intended to assure people that Cosby is indeed as good a man as the characters he has portrayed.
"The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew," explained Camille.
She also went on to liken this scandal involving her husband to the alleged UVA gang rape story that Rolling Stone ran before double-checking its sources.
"None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked — who is the victim?" asked Camille at the end of her statement.
That is exactly the question everyone has been asking ever since the first allegation caused a new flare-up for Cosby. There are so many other questions as well. None of Cosby's accusers have claimed that his wife was anywhere nearby during his alleged bad behavior, so could it be Camille really does not know her husband as well as she thinks she does?
