In a surprising turn of events, Bill Cosby, the 86-year-old actor, has become a virtual recluse, expressing fear for his life and refraining from leaving his house. Reports from RadarOnline indicate that Cosby is deeply concerned about his well-being, believing that stepping out could make him a target for harm, with fears that someone might resort to violence for fame.
The source of Cosby’s anxiety can be traced back to an alarming incident in May 2022 when comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked at the Hollywood Bowl. The assault on Chappelle deeply rattled Cosby, contributing to his decision to live a secluded life. The source revealed that Cosby is genuinely scared to venture outside, fearing that a similar fate might befall him. The aftermath of Dave Chappelle’s attack led to Bill Cosby suspending his comedy tour comeback indefinitely. This move highlights the severity of Cosby’s concerns for his safety, affecting both his personal and professional life. Those close to him share the sentiment, expressing a collective conviction that he is not safe in public.
Adding another layer to his challenges, Cosby is reportedly grappling with financial difficulties. Living on a fixed income and facing dire financial straits, he hasn’t worked since 2015, and ongoing legal issues have further exacerbated his situation. The 86-year-old, along with his wife Camille, 79, initially aimed to leave their once $400 million fortune to their loved ones. However, relentless legal fees stemming from numerous sexual assault accusations against Cosby have taken a toll on their financial stability.
The perpetual legal struggles have created a seemingly unending cycle of challenges, causing strain in the Cosby household. After 60 years of marriage, the couple is reportedly facing difficulties, with no clear end in sight to the legal battles. As a result of their alleged financial troubles, the couple has resorted to liquidating assets, taking out second mortgages, and selling prized artwork to navigate their financial predicament. This has led to a scaled-down Christmas celebration at home, as the couple opts for a more modest holiday due to financial constraints.
Cosby’s retreat from public life and the financial strain on the once high-profile couple paint a stark picture of the challenges faced by the actor in the twilight of his career.
