Relentless Sexual Assault Lawsuits Have ‘Dampened’ Bill Cosby’s Family’s Christmas Spirit – Report Confirms
It’s that time of the year! But nothing remains the same for the entertainment industry’s most controversial figure Bill Cosby, as the actor and comedian plans to have a reserved Christmas celebration.
Amid the ongoing lawsuits against the allegations surrounding sexual assault and harassment, Bill Cosby has decided to celebrate the holidays with his grandchildren and daughters at their Massachusetts property instead of a grand and massive celebration.
Bill Cosby To Have Reserved Celebration With Family Amid Ongoing Lawsuits
Since 2010, actor and comedian Bill Cosby has been accused of numerous sexual assaults and harassment cases. These resulted in lawsuits and even led the stand-up comedian to go behind bars for some time. Even though Cosby was released from jail, the reversing of the conviction did not declare him innocent. More than 60 women have come forward alleging that Cosby has indulged in r*pe, sexual assault, and harassment.
According to RadarOnline, The Bill Cosby Show star and his family are unable to plan a grand celebration for Christmas and financial turmoil has soaked their spirits. The negative impact of the ongoing lawsuits against Cosby has resulted in a low-key Christmas celebration with his family, and the guests who would like to join them will have to pay for themselves as Cosby has lost his private plane also.
However they are “trying to keep traditions alive” and according to the insider: “All the grandkids are coming, their daughters will be there, and Bill’s brother might be flying in.” Despite the terrifying legal battles against the I Spy star, his wife Camille Cosby has been standing with Cosby and they are about to celebrate their sixtieth Wedding anniversary.
Which is The Latest Lawsuit Against Bill Cosby?
Well, the comedian has made enough headlines since he entered the entertainment industry, followed by various lawsuits filed against him. According to reports, the latest lawsuit that Bill Cosby has been dealing with along with others is the accusations made by his co-worker who worked with Cosby on The Bill Cosby Show as a stand-in. According to the worker, the comedian drugged and sexually assaulted her while offering to teach her acting.
This case emerged as the latest under New York’s expiring Adult Survivors Act, which is claimed to have ended on Thanksgiving. The accuser stated that soon after she met Bill Cosby, he started offering her acting tips and urged her to exercise with him in the dressing room. She also claimed accepting Cosby’s invitation to his house and then blacking off suddenly after drinking wine with the former actor. The media personality is surrounded by other lawsuits as well, claiming that he has been extremely bad with women.
Since 2015, Bill Cosby hasn’t worked in the entertainment industry, and these legal battles have resulted in significant financial struggles which has severely impacted their Christmas celebration too.
The Bill Cosby Show is available on Prime Video.
