Cosby, wife ‘arguing since the verdict’

- Sadaf ahsan

Bill Cosby’s 74-year-old wife Camille is reportedly moving out of the couple’s home as her husband awaits sentencing for the drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand.

According to Radaronlin­e, Camille has left their Pennsylvan­ia home, where Cosby assaulted Constand, and into their house in Massachuse­tts.

She reportedly took their entire staff, including a chef, house manager and personal driver, with her, leaving Cosby alone and confined to the mansion. According to Radar, she’s been taking advantage of the property’s “Olympicsiz­ed pool, ferrying in groups of female friends to provide emotional support and hawking family assets in the wake of Cosby’s massive legal bills.”

Those assets include Cosby’s private jet, vintage car collection and a selection of California real estate holdings, which means a divorce could be messy for the pair.

A source told the tabloid, “They’ve been fighting and arguing since the verdict. She wanted a divorce, but he begged her to stay!”

According to Buzzfeed’s Claudia Rosenbaum, however, reports of her filing for divorce are “not true.”

Camille, who appeared alongside Cosby during his spring trial only once, said in her only comment about the conviction in May, “The overall media, with their frenzied, relentless demonizati­on of him and unquestion­ing acceptance of accusers’ allegation­s without any attendant proof, have superseded the Fifth and 14th Amendments, which guarantee due process and equal protection, and thereby eliminated the possibilit­y of a fair trial and unbiased jury. Bill Cosby was labelled as guilty because the media and accusers said so … period.”

Cosby, meanwhile, will be arraigned in September and is likely to face some prison time as he continues to deny all allegation­s.
