CBC story here

From the article:

In the same week that comedian Bill Cosby was arrested on sexual assault charges, his wife, Camille Cosby, learned she must testify in a civil case against the entertainer filed by seven women who said he defamed them, court documents show.

4. Wasn't that the point of the pills? No resistance, no recollection.

3. I am so sad.

Yes, based on what is currently publicly available, I think he did it. What her part was or wasn't I have no idea. All I know is a lot of people are in pain and my childhood idol has been destroyed, albeit possibly deservedly.

My only comfort is that maybe people, even rich, famous ones, might think twice about what they believe they can get away with.

6. He admitted to giving quaaludes... back in '05.

"Cosby was asked by a lawyer, “When you got the quaaludes [in the 1970s], was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” Cosby answered, “Yes.”"

There is too much talk, from too many women, to discount.

5. Judge didn't allow husband-wife privilege.

Because she was his business manager as well.

8. Ah, so. This is so depressing.

One can only hope justice will be done and some future good (as in assholes thinking twice) will come out of it.

9. I wondered why the judge denied husband-wife privilege and heard this on the news.

Hopefully some good will come out of it.
