Mrs. Cosby attempt to discredit the dis-creditors
Bill Cosby has taken heat in connection to the many, many rape allegations he’s been hit with over the past couple decades, but one could argue that despite these accusations being a matter of public knowledge since the 80’s, Cosby may very well be at the height of his negative scrutiny. Between actresses claiming he fathered their children and high-profile supermodels Janice Dickinson and Beverly Johnson giving very detailed accounts of their “rape” encounters with Cosby–on a nationally syndicated level, no less–it’s clear that Cosby has one thing actively working against him in powerful waves that, for the majority of the time these allegations have been circling, didn’t pose a serious threat when the allegations first arose: the internet. Cosby’s wife, Mrs. Camille Cosby, released a statement today–which you can read below–mentioning the fact that the internet isn’t giving Cosby his fair day in e-court, and she referenced the discredited UVA rape story that Rolling Stone ran as an example of what can happen when people don’t do their homework on the people making accusations.
It’s clear that Camille has faith not only in her husband’s legacy, but is pushing for those that investigate and write about Cosby’s allegations as they continue to come out to exhaust every ounce of their journalistic integrity before pressing publish. However, it’s quite interesting how she uses the Rolling Stone article to help corroborate the agenda she’d like the media to heed. The alleged gang-rape that the Rolling Stone article referenced hasn’t been disproven, but rather some of the important facts about not only the actual rape, but the circumstances surrounding it were not printed accurately. While we’re sure Mrs. Cosby isn’t trying to hint at anything with her statement, it isn’t the resounding cry of innocence some may have expected.
