fb camille and cosby4If it ain’t one thing, it’s another in the seemingly never-ending saga of the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations and pending trials. This time around, it’s Camille Cosby who some of the accusers’ attorneys are going after, but not without a fight from Bill Cosby’s attorneys. What does Camille have to do with any of the alleged sexual exploits? We’re not sure, but the attorneys for the accusers think she can give them something. Here are the details via Associated Press:

Lawyers for Bill Cosby said Friday they will fight an attempt to require his wife to give a sworn deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed by seven women who accuse the comedian of sexually assaulting them decades ago.

A lawyer for the women has subpoenaed Camille Cosby to be deposed on Jan. 6. at a hotel in Springfield, Massachusetts.

But Cosby’s lawyers filed a motion Friday to quash the subpoena, saying she has no firsthand, non-repetitive knowledge of issues in the lawsuit. They also argue that any confidential communications between Cosby and his wife are protected by the Massachusetts spousal disqualification rule.

The women’s lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, had argued that he should be able to question Camille Cosby because she was her husband’s business manager.

“I think she has information that’s relevant to the litigation in this matter,” Cammarata said Friday.

Cosby’s lawyers said Camille Cosby does not have any information about the accuracy of the women’s allegations. They also allege that the attempt to subject her to a deposition is “nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to pressure defendant in the face of subjecting his wife to the shame and embarrassment of responding to questions about his alleged infidelities and sexual misconduct.”

In case you haven’t heard, Bill Cosby countersued the 7 ladies last week over ‘making false allegations of sexual misconduct for financial gain.’ Cosby claimed that the 7 women have “engaged in a campaign to assassinate” his and character and reputation.

As far as Camille Cosby, what do you think ILOSM family- you think she should have to be involved in her husband’s legal case, or no?
