Camille Cosby filed a motion to cancel or limit her upcoming second deposition. Her lawyers claim she was previously asked “improper and offensive questions” about her “sexual relations” with her husband, Bill Cosby.
“These questions were irrelevant to the issues in this case and plainly were designed to annoy, embarrass and oppress the witness,” Camille’s lawyers wrote in court documents. Her second deposition is scheduled for April 18.
The motion also states that Joseph Cammarata, an attorney representing seven women who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, also “repeatedly sought testimony protected by the marital disqualification rule” and also sought out “irrelevant and improper opinion testimony from Mrs. Cosby regarding the honesty and integrity of her husband.”
Both sides tried to come to an agreement on March 8, 2016 during a private phone call but were unable to resolve, according to court documents. On Monday, Cammarata filed a motion requesting the court appoint U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy to oversee Camille’s deposition to “deter future deposition misconduct by Mrs. Cosby and her counsel.”
Hennessy will hear Camille’s arguments on April 13 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
