Fan Reaction Mixed After Report Says Camille Cosby Prepares to Divorce Bill Cosby

Months after Bill Cosby was found guilty on three felony accounts of sexual assault, Camille Cosby has reportedly moved out of their home.

The TV dad’s wife has reportedly taken the couple’s three kids and moved into the pair’s home in Massachusetts, along with a chef, several drivers and a house manager, Radar Online reported Wednesday, June 13. There, Camille reportedly spends her days diving into the Olympic-sized pool, meeting with female friends for emotional support and selling off family assets — like a private jet and vintage car collection — to make up for her husband’s legal bills.

“He literally is home alone,” a source told the website of the couple’s separate lives. “She even took the staff with her!”

The comedian was found guilty on three counts of aggravated sexual assault in a retrial against former Temple University worker Andrea Constand in April. He faces up to 30 years in prison.

“They’ve been fighting and arguing since the verdict,” the source added of the spouses. “She wanted a divorce, but he begged her to stay!”

While Camille seems to be living it up in Shelburne Falls, Mass., Cosby is reported to be confined in his Cheltenham, Pa., property in an ankle bracelet. He’s reportedly only allowed to leave home for doctor’s and lawyers’ appointments and so Radar claims the comic has resorted to feigning sickness in an attempt to get medical care at the home where Camille is staying. The scheme is reported to be an effort to win back his wife.

“Camille wants to leave his scandal behind her. She has no interest in seeing Bill,” a source blabbed. “She wants to reside quietly in Shelburne — and doesn’t want his reputation affecting the life she’s building for herself!”

Meanwhile, Cosby has reportedly been ordered to take a psychiatric test to determine if he’s suffering from a “mental abnormality.” But the 80-year-old isn’t up for it.

“Bill was adamant about not taking the sexual predator assessment that the judge ordered,” the source said before noting Camille “was definitely sick of the drama.”

Additionally, Camille is planning to put the couple’s Pennsylvania and New York homes up for sale once her husband is put behind bars.

The Radar Online rumor is a 180 from the support Camille showed for her husband of 54 years in the wake of his verdict. She issued a statement demanding a criminal investigation against the prosecutor.

“This is mob justice, not real justice,” she wrote in a three-page statement. “This tragedy must be undone not just for Bill Cosby, but for the country.”

Amid the new report, fans have been chiming in on a possible Cosby divorce.

“Why now? She should stay and be the ‘friend’ he needs. Even Judas had friends, don’t leave him.”

“It’s an unfortunate situation and I pray that Mrs. Cosby and family will rally around Mr. Cosby, this is not the time for him to be alone and I’m sure the love is still there.”

“I don’t think it’s for that reason. She’s stuck with him throughout this entire ordeal, why leave now?? I think it’s about maintaining their financial assets.”

“Yes hurry up Camille…secure the coins!!! Now that it’s all out on Twitter the vultures are in motion!! Speed up the process girl and cover the coins so they can’t get their hands on it!! #SmartLady #Playthegame.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
