Bill Cosby's wife, Camille Cosby is requesting a judge to limit the questions on her second deposition for the defamation lawsuit case. The known TV personality said she wants everything to be over as she struggles to answer too personal questions such as her sex life.
According to CNS News, Camille Cosby thinks questions thrown to her were "outrageous questions". She said, the questions are about her sex relations, as well as other private topics. The wife of the disgraced comedian actor was ordered to testify in the deposition of a defamation lawsuit case filed by seven women. The said women claimed Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them years ago.
Camille took her first deposition on February, while her second upcoming deposition was rescheduled on 18th of April, Daily Mail reported. Her legal team requested the judge to dismiss the deposition, or to set a limit on the questions, which they cited "litany of improper and offensive questions."
The women's lawyer is asking about her sexual relations, personal political commentary and their son's death in 1997. However, Camille Cosby's lawyer argued, that the said topic for questioning are all irrelevant to the case as well as "plainly were designed to annoy, embarrass, and oppress the witness."
Her defense lawyers also said the first deposition questions were all improper and offensive, Chicago Tribune reported. Despite of it, the women's lawyer requested the judge to step in order to make sure Camille Cosby answers all. The lawyer added, she had declined to answer numerous questions. The plaintiff's lawyer also requested for an appearance of a judge for the second deposition that will take place next month.
Cosby's legal team are still requesting that the defamation case remains steady while the actor battles a criminal case involving the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand in 2004 in Pennsylvania. He has pled not guilty. The accusers filed the defamation case stating Bill Cosby defamed them by denying their allegations that he sexually assaulted them in decades past.
