Bill Cosby: Supported in Court By Real, TV Wives For Whatever Reason

Bill Cosby’s trial began today, for only one of the more than fifty sexual assaults of which he has been accused.


Many would say that anyone still standing with him is either delusional … or stands to lose something.


Well, right now he’s believed to have two avid supporters in the form of his “wives” — the one from real life and from television.



Camille Cosby has been his actual, real life wife for 53 years. She’s reportedly been unwavering in her support of and belief in him.


Phylicia Rashad, who played his character’s wife on The Cosby Show, is apparently also a believer in his innocence.


Both women have been expected to stand by Cosby’s side through the trial.



Notably, of the other members of the Cosby cast, the women who played his daughters on television have been tight-lipped. 


That could mean anything from not wanting to get involved — either for or against him — to being somehow involved with the story themselves and not wanting that exposed.


As much as we wish that everyone who knows anything could just come forward, we can absolutely understand why some people wouldn’t want to become involved.


After seeing the sort of treatment that Amber Heard’s received from Johnny Depp’s fans since last year, it’s pretty clear that anyone opposing a celebrity is going to have to deal with a very passionate fanbase.


Few celebrities have had so many decades to make a positive impression on the world before the accusations against them became common knowledge.


But, at the same time, few face accusations from 58 alleged victims.



It’s understandable, if alarming, that people close to Cosby might still support him, despite having more than 50 accusers.


Sometimes it’s easier to believe in elaborate conspiracy theories than to see the worst in a loved one.


Cosby himself has enjoyed accusing his accusers of racism, which might not make sense, but it doesn’t have to.


There are always going to be people looking for any excuse to believe in his innocence.


They don’t need to be people who know him personally.


Some people can’t reconcile a serial predator with the man they saw on a groundbreaking sitcom.


Or with the man they saw on jello commercials as a child.


The power of being a celebrity is far-reaching and leaves lifelong impressions.



Beyond the conspiracy theorists, Cosby has also enjoyed the support of mentally unstable celebrities.


Even that kind of endorsement could work in his favor with certain parties.


The only thing that ultimately matters for this case, however, is what the jury believes.


If the attorneys and judge did their jobs during Voir Dire, the jury shouldn’t be stacked with “truthers” or with anyone who’s already out for blood.



Cosby could face as much as 10 years for the 2004 assault.


In about two weeks, we’ll see what the court decides.

Josh Duggar: Tired of Being Supported By His Parents!

Last year, the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls, four of whom were his sisters, and was assisted in covering up his crimes by his parents.



It was widely assumed that this, coupled with his later-discovered infidelity and porn addiction, was the end of the family as public figures.


The Duggars would slink away from the spotlight, and that Joshua in particular would be happy to just fade into disgraced obscurity.


Or so we thought.


After all, when you consider the prison time that he would’ve done if he hadn’t had Jim Bob and Michelle as his accomplices, six months in sex addiction rehab doesn’t seem so bad. 


But contrary to our expectations, the Duggars didn’t simply step aside and let some other ginormous family assume take their place.


Instead, despite petitions and protests from advertisers, they returned to television with Jill & Jessa: Counting On … basically 19 Kids & Counting Sans Josh, Jim Bob & Michelle.



Wisely, the family decided that Josh wouldn’t appear on the new show (a decision that TLC was likely very happy with).


Given that Josh’s attempts at returning to public life have not been particularly well-received, you’d think he would be content to chill.


Just sit back, let the rest of his family continue to pull in the big bucks and focus on his wife and kids. Good plan, right? Not for him.


Apparently, like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas, the disgraced former lobbyist just isn’t content to live his life as a shnook.


A source close to the Duggars tells In Touch:


“This is a ploy by Josh to get back onto TV. He’s hoping this will show everyone he’s taken real steps to deal with his problems.”


“Josh is realizing that his father, Jim Bob, can’t keep supporting him financially for the rest of his life.”


Yes, Josh escaped prison time, and Anna Duggar isn’t leaving his sorry ass for using an Ashley Madison account to cheat on her, but he’s still not content.


Apparently Josh’s Bible contains an eleventh commandment that reads:


“Thou art entitled to be totes rich and famous for the rest of thine days, regardless of how horrendously thou f–ks up.”


In case you’ve forgotten just how horrible Josh is, relive his many scandals in the gallery below:

Josh Duggar: Visited, Supported in Rehab By Some Family Members

Some members of the Duggar family have visited Josh in rehab recently, according to a new report, and written him notes of encouragement.


Others are not quite as eager to reach out to the disgrace.


The Duggars" messages of encouragement and support are unsurprising in a sense, but equally non-shocking is that others are lukewarm.


Given that he"s a sister-molesting, adulterous, hypocritical embarrassment being sued by a porn star for giving her PTSD and everything.


To say his reputation has taken a hit – and taken the famous TLC family down with him – may be the understatement of all time at this stage.


As for whether Anna Duggar is leaving Josh or will eventually take him back, that"s the single greatest question on everyone"s mind now.


The second biggest question may be how a labor camp like Reformers Unanimous where they must send handwritten notes even exists.


Anyway, it remains to be seen whether the eldest Duggar son will truly recover from his "sex addiction" and what Anna will do next.


The same private plane that dropped him off in Illinois was there again this week, though, according to a report by Entertainment Tonight.


So either he"s leaving or someone cares enough to visit.
