Friends baffled as Camille Cosby stands by Bill amid scandal
NYPost Page Six ^ | 12/20/14

Posted on 12/20/2014 11:19:19 PM PST by BunnySlippers

Recently, an old friend asked Camille Cosby how she was holding up. The comedian’s wife, married 51 years, was silent for a moment.

“You know, everyone has their limits,” she confided.

But the glimpse into her pain was fleeting, and Mrs. Bill Cosby was instantly back in the character of the loyal defender.

“I think his problem is that he’s far too trusting and he lets things go too far and people can get the wrong idea,” the 69-year-old said.

Friends talked to The Post last week about the marriage of Bill and Camille, and why she has not lost faith in her husband, despite the more than two dozen women who have come forward to allege that he sexually assaulted them.

Of course she knew what was going on. Cosby is the provider so why on earth would she leave now? The only thing bothering her is the public embarrassment and the Cosbys being dragged through the mud////which they deserve

I can’t feel sorry for these two who are worth hundreds of millions

...”She’s too old to give up now.”...

Folks..Do not blame Camille Cosby..She has been in a very long marriage with Bill and I suspect she knew long ago that he was adulterous. Their children together and their long history play a strong role for her, along with being old, which comes with more stresses than adultery could ever cause. A true bonding takes place when people, even in bad marriages, stay together for many years. A kind of commitment occurs which cannot be logically explained. It is like they truly do “become one.”

My guess is Bill’s wife fully knows what has been his lifestyle---and his sexual indiscretions---for decades, and she is fine with it, so long as she is provided for and maintained at a high standard of living.

Sure she knew--his victims could nail her on aiding and abetting---b/c she did nothing to stop him (that we know of).

She stays in the marriage b/c the money is good---he made millions as a TV star. Its been reported they vacation every year at a lavish French resort.....just one perk she enjoys.

Camille is doing a Hillary.

One of Hillary's standout qualifications for high office (/snix)
is that she gallantly stood by him when Billy got lubed in the
Oval Office by an intern.

Comparing notes?

The common thread among decades of Cosby accusers: incapacitation by being drugged. What are the odds Mrs. Cosby is exempt from being a tranquilized Stepford Wife?

You know, I’m not weighing in on one side or another but I have never seen or heard in current media something that occurs to me . . .

Might it be possible that we a living in a day and age where phenomenon like the Salem Witch Trials occurred? Seems to me that all the elements are there to create something like this:

1. We are rigorously taught that any woman who claims rape is automatically a victim and the accused is guilty (the other end of the pendulum).

2. We (Marxists in America - not me) are in a process of social destruction or the sweeping away of the bourgeoisie superstructure and all its institutions and symbols (Cosby certainly falls into that).

3, The left is well into the direct action mode of revolution. Killing cops and destroying people is part and parcel.

4. The tactic of multiple claimants being used to attack somebody is a well known tactic.

5. The legal system has been torn from its moorings to dispense justice. It is, too often, an instrument to peel money off wealthy people or institutions for enriching the lawyer class, first, and the claimant, second.

6. Ms. Cory (Jane Doe) was manipulated by the left for explicit political purposes to get abortion sanctioned.

7. As a mentioned before, hysteria, or intense social conditions, seem to trigger the Witch Trial effect. Today, riots, false accusers and near total distrust of government and leadership abound and hope is not part of our cultural outlook anymore. That, by itself, is creating a multitude of effects.

Personally, I wouldn’t doubt that the narrative being paraded by the media is essentially true because everything is about image today and the people behind images (especially wealthy, protected people) are often grotesquely different from the character they play in the PR front. X42 should have destroyed that delusion forever for all sane people.

I’m just saying that I haven’t seen this idea examined but I have seen a hell of a lot of verdict being handed out.

Much like pinnochio bills nose is not getting longer as he lies but getting whiter. The racist makes a statement that the black media will support him not like the white media. Once a racist always a racist. He is the consumate rapist racist

Mrs. Cosby, these are not your friends. We have a presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.

The public perceptions of a minority of people is not a guilty verdict.

Here is another take on these women allegedly raped by BC:

They were gold diggers - opportunists - who would do ANYTHING to become a star. If they told ALL the truth, many of these women would fornicate with Satan if it furthered their career. They freely used drugs & alcohol in the venues, just as most others around them, probably to stomach the degradation they brought on themselves.

Now, years, decades later, they are looking for one last opportunity for fame. They lied to themselves about how low they had gone, what whores they truly were, & clearly they have never emerged from the slime.

For, why would someone publicly resurrect what they claim was a horrible episode in their life DECADES later, with no possibility of proving their accusations or receiving justice? If they want “justice” now, why didn’t they want it back then?

More likely, they freely accepted the drugs & booze at the time, they actively tried to woo famous people with their sexuality, & they didn’t care who was on top of them.

I think their sexual history, if it could be known, would show them to be the victims of their own behavior.

What are you rambling about?

Two of the women filed police reports within a year or two, the women he settled with in 2006 had been raped in 2004, and she had 13 more women willing to testify to his rape methods, and they remained anonymous.

Some of these women are in their 70s and are not looking for fame as rape victims, and have you wondered why his industry is silent about him, and why no one will come forward to express how ‘outrageous’ and how ‘impossible’ these accusations are?

Why hasn’t Cosby shut all this down when it started breaking out in the news back in 2005? Instead he settled out of court.
