Camille Cosby says that she never read the bombshell 2005 deposition given by her husband Bill Cosby during which he admitted to prosecutors that he had obtained prescriptions for Quaaludes for the purpose of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with.

Camille Cosby, despite her lawyers many efforts to get her out of it, was forced to testify in a deposition in the ongoing defamation lawsuit against her husband in late February. He's being sued for defamation by a group of women, after he denied that their rape allegations against him were true. Part of the February deposition, in which Camille Cosby claims that she didn't read what her husband had said back in 2005, was made public by her lawyers this week.

The Washington Post reported that Camille Cosby refused to answer questions 98 times during the deposition. In Massachusetts, where the suit was filed against Bill Cosby, a marital disqualification rule prohibits spouses from having to testify about private marital conversations.

Bill Cosby's 2005 deposition had to do with the Andrea Constand case. He's currently facing criminal charges in Pennsylvania for allegedly sexually assaulting the former Temple University employee. When a lawyer for the women who are suing Bill Cosby asked Camille Cosby if she had ever had a discussion with her husband about the content of his 2005 testimony in the Constand case, Camille Cosby again refused, saying, "That is just communication between my husband and me," according to the New York Post. 

Bill Cosby's lawyers are in the process of trying to have the lawsuit in Massachusetts postponed so that he can first deal with fighting the criminal charges in the Constand case. Camille Cosby's partial deposition was attached to that motion to postpone that Bill Cosby's lawyers filed this week, which is why it became public.
