Cosby’s wife files emergency motion to delay deposition

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

Lawyers for Bill Cosby’s wife have filed an emergency motion to postpone her deposition while she appeals a magistrate judge’s order.

The motion filed late Saturday says 71-year-old Camille Cosby’s deposition scheduled for today should be delayed because she “has had no involvement with the facts or allegations underlying this case.”

Camille Cosby is slated to answer questions under oath in a defamation lawsuit brought against her husband by seven women who say he sexually assaulted them decades ago.

Lawyers for the Cosbys attempted to quash the deposition subpoena.

A federal judge ruled Friday that Camille Cosby’s deposition must proceed today.
