"A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know."
Mrs Cosby did not mince words calling out news outlets for their coverage of the controversy surrounding the trailblazing 77-year-old comic, which she panned as one-sided and unfair.
"There appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral," Camille Cosby said.
She then proceeded to draw a comparison between her husband's case and the infamous Rolling Stone article about an alleged rape of a female University of Virginia student, which has unravelled over the past two weeks.

"The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband - until that story unwound," Camille Cosby wrote.
"None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked - who is the victim?"

I met my husband, Bill Cosby, in 1963, and we were married in 1964. The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew.
A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know. It is also a portrait painted by individuals and organizations whom many in the media have given a pass. There appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral.
We all followed the story of the article in the Rolling Stone concerning allegations of rape at the University of Virginia.

None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked - who is the victim?
