Bill Cosby 77, has been accused by many women for sexually assaulting them, some claimed they were minor when it happened. The allegation which the comedian has refuse to debunk or issue any statement has tarnished his image and caused him a lot of embarrassment with lost of his shows, endorsements being cancelled because people no longer see him as a role model.
Below is a statement released by his wife Camille Cosby.
I met my husband, Bill Cosby, I. 1963. The man I met and fell in love with, and whom i continued to love, is the man you all knew through his work. 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.
A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man i do not know. It is Aldi a portrait painted by individuals and organizations whom many in the media have given a pass. There appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immidiately goes viral.
We all followed the story of the article in the " Rolling Stone" concerning allegations of rape at the university of Virginia. The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband until that story unwound.
None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked- who is the victim?
