CosbyÕs wife goes for the gold -
CAGED sex perv Bill Cosby has slammed a hold on his bank account so long-suffering wife Camille can’t drain away his assets, insiders tell GLOBE in a world exclusive.
The 81-year-old disgrace, currently serving three to ten years in a Pennsylvania prison, learned Camille was tapping into his private account when he was notified by a bank official she’d already made one withdrawal and was trying to pull out more cash without her husband’s signature, a source claims.
“The first check went through, the second one raised a red flag,” snitches the source. “Mrs. Cosby wrote a check because she needed it to support family and staff. She’s been chiseling away at their assets since he was sentenced to house arrest and took it to a new level after he was incarcerated.
“The bank got in touch with Mr. Cosby through his assistants,” who arranged a telephone call.
During the call, “he told the bank to freeze the primary account” — where his royalties are deposited and interest is accumulated, the snitch says.
Another source says, “Bill asked they void all future checks from that account and freeze it until he or his personal lawyer say otherwise.
“He lost the funds from the first check because he won’t report it as fraudulent since it’s Camille.
“But he’s outraged that she pulled a fast one.”
Bill believes Camille went for his account after hearing about the idea on The Wendy Williams Show, an insider says.
Meddling Wendy noted Camille should take the checkbook and write out half of everything they have — and when Cosby heard about the TV talker’s comments, he blew a fuse, sources claim.
The superstar inmate ranted his wife “better not take advice from Williams,” says the first source, who notes the creepy comic ordered his staff to summon Camille to his prison for a oneon-one talk.
‘She’s been chiseling away at their assets since he was sentenced’
As GLOBE reported, Camille has been scarce since her husband’s April conviction for sexually assaulting a Temple University women’s basketball team exec in their Philadelphia mansion.
While he was under house arrest in Pennsylvania waiting to be sentenced, Camille packed up and moved to their ritzy Massachusetts estate.
Although she’s supported his efforts to win a new trial —- or get his conviction tossed — Cosby’s wife of 54 years did not appear at his sentencing.
Since he’s gone to the big house, an insider says their telephone conversations have been “brief and to the point. She’s tolerating him, but it’s not affectionate.”
Camille’s also been trying to cash in by selling off Bill’s collectible treasures, insiders say.
“Camille is scouring through their assets, but isn’t having as much luck as she imagined since he had the power to stop the check from processing from prison,” says the first source.
“It’s obvious Camille is furious over the amount of money in legal fees, court costs and whatever follows this black cloud hovering over her family.”
But more bills are coming.
The shameless degenerate ordered his lawyers to fight tooth and nail to get him out of prison and clear his name.
But even if he keeps rotting behind bars, the sex fiend is determined to play hardball with Camille over his dough.
“Cosby says if she keeps it up, he’s more than happy to cut her off completely,” the snitch says.
“He also compared her failed attempt to get money to a snake oil saleswoman. He feels it’s a declaration of war and if she doesn’t stand down now, he will deal with her appropriately when he gets out.”
