The Real Reason Why Bill Cosby's Wife Never Visited Him In Prison

Bill Cosby married Camille Cosby in 1964 and the pair raised five children together (via In Touch Weekly), with Cosby often using his family as fodder for his standup routine. Tragedy struck in 1997 when their only son, Ennis, was shot and killed while he was changing his tire on a California highway (via History). Despite losing a child, the Cosby marriage remained strong in the eyes of the public, and Camille accompanied Bill every day as he walked into court in 2018, according to In Touch.

In June 2020, one year before her husband was released, Camille opened up to ABC News about what she thought of his conviction and why she believed it happened. She also offered no sympathy toward the #MeToo movement.

"The #MeToo movement and movements like them have intentional ignorance pertaining to the history of particular white women — not all white women — but particular white women, who have from the very beginning, pertaining to the enslavement of African people, accused black males of sexual assault without any proof whatsoever, no proof, anywhere on the face of the earth," she said.
