Camille Cosby is standing staunchly by her husband.
In her first statement since a number of women have come out to accuse her famous other half of sexual assault, the wife of Bill Cosby has gone on record with a firm defense of the legendary comedian.
“The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work,” Camille says, adding:
“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.”
Camille Cosby’s comments come a day after Bill Cosby told The New York Post that he expects “the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism” and to approach his case with a “neutral mind.”
Camille goes on to say that the media has painted an unfair portrait of her husband over the past two months.
“There appears to be no vetting of my husband’s accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral,” she says.
The most recent accusation to go viral come from Beverly Johnson, a veteran model who claims Cosby drugged her and dragged her down a flight of stairs in the mid-1980s.
Camille Cosby concludes her statement by referencing the recent Rolling Stone article in which allegations of rape were proven untrue and the publication was forced to issue a retraction.
“None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim,” Camille says. “But the question should be asked – who is the victim?”
Do you think it’s Bill Cosby, THGers?
