Bill Cosby's Reps Say He's Completely Blind and Homebound

Bill Cosby has been in the news nonstop for the last two years since allegations of rape were brought up against him, some of which stemmed from incidents that took place decades ago. Now, according to a source within the Cosby camp, the comedian is "completely blind" and bound to his home. In a statement, the source said, "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 . . . All his Hollywood friends have turned their backs on him. 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.”

Bill Cosby allegedly has a degenerative eye condition that is called keratoconus. The condition causes the cornea of the eye to bulge. Because of this, Cosby's eyesight has been fading for a while. Earlier this year, one of Cosby's lawyers named Monique Pressley commented on his appearance in a mugshot he took, saying “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.”
