Camille Cosby finally had to give in and do the deposition for the pending libel lawsuit against her husband, Bill Cosby, by seven accusers who claim that Bill defamed their character by publicly calling them liars about their past sexual assault claims against him. Bill Cosby is countersuing them for what he says are deliberate attempts to try to “assassinate” his “honorable legacy” with lies.

As you can imagine, this isn’t a process that’s going by smoothly, it has many bumps in the road and one of them is Camille Cosby. Some snippets of her February 22nd deposition have now been made public and let’s just say that Mrs. Cosby, is not one to play with and she definitely has her husband’s back throughout all of this. Here are the details via NYDailyNews:

Camille Cosby clearly didn’t like the hot seat.

The wife of embattled comedian Bill Cosby comes off as doggedly tight-lipped and defensive in a 15-page snapshot of her recent deposition in a libel lawsuit brought by seven accusers.

The excerpt was released by Cosby’s lawyers Tuesday as they try to convince a judge that the civil lawsuit should be put on hold pending his felony prosecution in Pennsylvania.

It focuses on several exchanges between Camille and plaintiff’s lawyer Joseph Cammarata in a Springfield, Mass., hotel on Feb. 22.

The lawyer pressed Camille Cosby about her knowledge of the past assault claims against her husband:

Camille Cosby claimed under questioning by Cammarata that she never read the civil complaint Constand filed against Cosby in 2005.

She testified that the only details she knew about the case came directly from her husband and a lawyer.

“I don’t remember,” she answered repeatedly when asked for details on when and where she heard about the case.

She said she was aware her husband was deposed a decade ago but declined to give specifics on whether the couple discussed the testimony.

Sections of Cosby’s Constand depositions that were released last year revealed he admitted under oath that he obtained Quaaludes to give to women he found sexually attractive.

“Have you discussed your husband’s deposition testimony with your husband?” Cammarata asked Camille Cosby.

“I don’t want to answer that,” she replied.

“Well, you can’t not,” Cammarata said.

“That is communication between me and my husband,” she shot back.

“Okay. Well, you don’t get that privilege to just tell me … that you’re not going to answer,” the lawyer replied.

“All right, but I am telling you that that is communication between my husband and me,” she said, again claiming a marital privilege.

“Well, you can’t not,” Cammarata said.

“That is communication between me and my husband,” she shot back.

“Okay. Well, you don’t get that privilege to just tell me … that you’re not going to answer,” the lawyer replied.

“All right, but I am telling you that that is communication between my husband and me,” she said, again claiming a marital privilege.

Cammarata told her he wasn’t asking for the “substance” of the conversation, just whether they discussed the prior deposition testimony.

“That is just communication between my husband and me,” Camille Cosby said again, digging in her heels.

One of her lawyers then instructed Cosby’s longtime wife that she should answer yes or no.

“Yes,” she then replied, before saying she couldn’t remember when the conversation took place.

Uh- oh, it looks like Mrs. Cosby let the REAL Camille surface in that deposition. In case you didn’t know, yeah it’s true that Camille was always a devoted mother to their children and wife to her husband, and yes she took care of the daily tasks at home while her hubby went off to work, BUT don’t get it twisted, Mrs. Cosby is no soft-spoken little housewife by far! She’s known aroud the entertainment world as being a hard, take-no-mess, type of businesswoman. Bill Cosby even admitted this once to Ebony magazine back in the day. Camille acted as his manager for years and Cosby stated that “People would rather deal with me than with Camille. She’s rough to deal with when it comes to my business.”  Yep folks, Camille is that woman, so it’s only fitting that she stood her ground and clapped back at the attorney when he asked her questions that she didn’t like…in true, uncensored Camille Cosby form.

On a side note, why don’t they just leave Camille out of this? Those are her husband’s legal battles to fight, not her’s.
