Bill Cosby slammed as disgraced star and wife reportedly leading reclusive life over fears of being killed
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Comedian Bill Cosby, 86, and his wife, Camille, 79, have largely retreated from public life, citing concerns for their safety amidst ongoing controversies and personal tragedies.
According to Cosby's representative, Andrew Wyatt, the couple feels compelled to limit their public appearances due to fears over potential threats to their security.
Bill and Camille Cosby lead reclusive life amid safety concerns
Wyatt emphasized that the couple is wary of the unpredictable nature of the world, especially given Cosby's high-profile legal battles and the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by more than 60 women.
He told Radar Online that the couple is living a reclusive life. The Cosbys shuttle between their home in Massachusetts and their properties in New York City, seeking solace and safety within the confines of their residences.
"He knows what kind of world they live in," Wyatt shared. "Who knows what they'd do to him, his wife, daughters or grandchildren."
Wyatt highlighted the tragic losses the couple has endured, including the deaths of two of their five children, further exacerbating their desire for seclusion.
The sense of unease extends beyond Cosby and Camille themselves, with Wyatt revealing that he, too, has faced threats due to his association with the embattled comedian. Cosby's paranoia, Wyatt explained, is fueled by a deep-seated fear of potential harm, prompting him to take precautions such as purchasing firearms for protection.
The couple has endured profound grief, having lost two of their five children. Ennis, their middle child and only son, tragically lost his life at 27 during a robbery in January 1997. Additionally, their second youngest daughter, Ensa, passed away at the age of 44 in 2018 after battling renal disease.
Cosby "fears for his life," with insiders telling us last year that he's "scared to leave the house" because he thinks someone could kill him "for fame."
Wyatt himself has reported feeling threatened by several family members of Cosby's alleged victims.
Cosby's apprehension is rooted in a perceived lack of security in the world at large, compounded by recent societal upheavals such as the US Capitol riot and violent attacks on public figures. The embattled comedian has taken precautions to protect himself and those around him, including the purchase of firearms for personal safety.
Internet reacts to Bill Cosby and Camille's secluded lifestyle
The internet has been abuzz with commentary following revelations that Bill Cosby, alongside his wife Camille, has largely withdrawn from public life due to fears for their safety. Amidst these discussions, opinions are sharply divided, reflecting the lingering controversies surrounding the embattled comedian.
One user expressed disdain, stating, "I don't ever want to hear about what they want, think, or are concerned about. Abusers don't deserve a voice or platform."
Another commenter highlighted Cosby's legal history, asserting, "He never paid his debt, he was released on a technicality."
A third user conveyed a sense of disdain, commenting, "So a rapist and his apologist wife aren’t having the time of their lives in their golden years? What a shame."
Lastly, a user emphasized the severity of Cosby's alleged actions, stating, "He drugged and raped 60 women. Invited teenage girls to the Playboy Mansion. Why should I care about Cosby?"
