*To say it’s been a hella-rough year for Bill Cosby would be an understatement. Now he’s has something else to deal with. According to a well-placed source, the embattled comedian is now “completely blind” and is “in his own personal hell.” Cosby is now confined to his Pennsylvania home with his loyal wife, Camille, at his side, according to Page Six.
“His alleged victims may take some solace in the fact that he’s in his own personal hell. He has been suffering from a degenerative eye disease and is completely blind,” a source told the news outlet. “All his Hollywood friends have turned their backs on him.”
The source added:
“He is confined to his house in Pennsylvania, and the only person on his side is his wife, Camille, who is masterminding his defense. His only friends are the small army of lawyers on his payroll.”
Although his top lawyers, Brian McMonagle and Angela C. Agrusa, didn’t respond to questions from Page Six, Cosby’s sight has been slowly fading for some time. In January, Monique Pressley, another of his lawyers, said of his strange appearance in his mug shot, “He’s a 78-year-old blind man who they’ve chosen to charge. That’s not a defense to a charge, that’s just a fact.” It explains why he is led into court by lawyers and reps on both of his arms. (He turned 79 on July 12.) Since then, the condition has become far more severe.
Cosby reportedly has a degenerative eye condition called keratoconus, a condition that causes the eye’s cornea to bulge.
Meanwhile as far as his ongoing sexual assault charges, earlier this month a judge ruled that Cosby will stand trial and face the music at a date yet to be determined. The man once known as “America’s Dad” faces three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault from a 2004 case involving a woman named Andrea Constand. She was the first of more than 50 women who’ve accused Cosby of sexual misconduct.

However, on Monday (07-18-16), a judge in his civil case ruled Cosby will be allowed to sue Constand — who claims he drugged and raped her in 2004 — for allegedly breaching a confidentiality agreement she signed with him after he settled with her out of court in 2006.
