Bill Cosby's lawyers fight deposition of his wife in sexual assault lawsuit filed by seven women. Lawyers for Bill Cosby say they'll fight an attempt to require the comedian's wife to give a sworn deposition in a defamation lawsuit
But Cosby's lawyers filed a motion on Friday to quash the subpoena, saying she has no firsthand knowledge of issues in the lawsuit
They argue that any confidential communications between Cosby and his wife are protected by the Massachusetts spousal disqualification rule
Earlier this week, Bill Cosby's attorneys have moved a defamation lawsuit by a Pittsburgh-area woman, Renita Hill, 48, from state to federal court. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ht-deposition-wife-lawsuit.html#ixzz3ulf88FL6
Cosby says Beverly Johnson, an iconic model who claimed he drugged and sexually assaulted her during an audition, has gone on a smear campaign ... making claims to Vanity Fair and other media, and he says all she was doing was grasping at straws to become relevant again.
In the suit, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, Kathrine Mae McKee says that she first met Cosby in 1964, and appeared on “The Bill Cosby Show” in 1971.
The alleged incident took place three years later, in 1974, the lawsuit claims, after Cosby asked her to pick up ribs for him and pick him up at his hotel, after which they went to his friend’s boat party.
However, when she arrived, McKee claims that Cosby, dressed in a bathrobe and knit wool cap, “immediately set upon and physically attacked her,” tossing the ribs aside.
So BC is suing Beverly Johnson.

Sure Bill. Because nothing advances your career, makes you "relevant" like claiming you've been raped [emoji849]

It’s not unusual for cases against celebrities to result in defamation suits, but usually the celebrity is the plaintiff. “There’s even a notion that if you’re a famous person and you don’t file suit [when accused of something untoward] it might be seen as a tacit admission of guilt,” says Smolla. But beginning last winter several of Cosby’s accusers began to reverse the script, arguing via a similar suit that the very public denials of Cosby’s team were tantamount to calling the women liars, looking to profit from their accusations. (It’s the last bit — the implication the women were looking for a payday — on which the crux of the new defamation strategy rests; an accused party and his attorneys have always had the right to deny the allegations publicly). This fall, more of Cosby’s accusers either joined the original suit or filed their own, spurred by a cascade of women testifying en masse. Smolla says the sheer volume of women — and the way their allegations were received by the public over the past year — helped to lay the ground for the potential success of the defamation strategy. “It’s not unusual for lawsuits and new theory to emerge out of legal culture at the same time.”
What I’m trying to point out here is that Camille was the epitome of everything Cosby defenders tell us is lacking from both contemporary Black womanhood and the modern Black family.
And yet despite being the ideal image of Black womanhood, Bill still did her dirty.
When it was suggested that her opinion sounded rather harsh, considering all that television has done for her husband, Mrs. Cosby smiled politely and leaned forward.
"Let's clarify one thing," she said. "Television has not made him one of the most popular. It is the content he developed to put on television, his tenacity to do what is correct, not only for himself but for all people, and his commitment to presenting people as human beings, that have made him popular. Television was the medium that he was able to use to project his ideas."
She is mentor to scores of youths and the mother of five children: four daughters and a son. "I delegate, I give people the freedom to make choices," she said. "Then, if you make a mistake, then you must learn there is a penalty that you, with emphasis on you, will have to pay."

She talks a lot about integrity and personal responsibility...In the Oprah interview she said she wouldn't have people in her home that she didn't trust, or something. It seems a bit grotesque given the stand by her rapist husband act.
I think the solution to this and another situation would be to have a big revue/hootenanny with the Cosbys and the Duggars. It could be split into 12 two-hour episodes on TLC, after which everyone would be done with them, and hope that they'd all be in prison for the rest of their days.
Lol. Or on a episode of Wife Swap . Lol
How about putting Cosby and Josh Duggar in the Celebrity Big Brother house and just leave them there? I bet they'd have lots to talk family values and all that jazz, and no one else needs to tune in.
