Bill Cosby’s wife, Camille Cosby, is expected to be deposed Monday despite efforts from the comedian’s lawyers to prevent it from happening.
Over the weekend, Bill Cosby’s attorneys filed a motion to stop the deposition, and the plaintiffs’ lawyers filed arguments against that motion.
On Sunday night, U.S. District Judge Mark Mastroianni denied the defendant’s motion and ruled Cosby will be deposed.
Cosby’s legal team wanted to prevent Camille Cosby from being deposed by attorneys for the eight women who have sued him for defamation.
The women claim that Cosby let his defense team paint them as liars after they came accused him of sexual assault.
Tamara Green, who has accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her in 1970, filed the defamation lawsuit against Cosby in December 2014.
