The charging of Bill Cosby with felony sexual assault charges continues to generate opinions from all corners of the Internet.

The previously celebrated comedian and actor now faces up to ten years in jail, and former fans and celebrities alike have taken to social media to give their two cents on the matter. Next up to speak their piece? The Game. Posting a series of photos to his Instagram page that read “Black Lives Splatter,” the Compton rapper wrote a lengthy caption about the case against Cosby.

Taking the stance that Cosby has been charged based on hearsay while officers have not been charged for crimes committed on camera, the rapper questioned why his alleged victims waited to share their stories. While calling rape a “huge deal,” The Game also shamed social media users for sharing Cosby memes:

#BBB NEWS| Bill Cosby Is Reportedly Blind, Suffering From Degenerative Eye Disease [PHOTO]

As Bill Cosby faces up to ten years for felony sexual assault charges, the looming case against him has led to a varied amount of opinions on the matter.

In yet another component of the impending trial, the once-beloved comedian’s health has been referenced his attorney, Monica Pressley. On an interview with CBS This Morning, Pressley called Cosby a “blind man.”

“He’s a 78-year-old blind man who they’ve chosen to charge, that’s not a defense to a charge, that’s just a fact.”

According to a report by Daily Mail, Cosby is suffering from keratoconus, a condition that causes the thinning of the cornea. As the domed-shaped cornea thins, the eyes begin to bulge to a cone shape, leading to “blurring, ghosting, multiple images, starbursts and glaring.” The clouding of Cosby’s right eye is visible in the mugshot taken after he was taken into custody on Dec. 30. In his defamation lawsuit against supermodel Beverly Johnson–one of his accusers–Cosby was referred to as “legally and functionally.”

Bill Cosby’s wife of 50 years, Camille Cosby, will be forced to testify in a defamation lawsuit filled by several women who have accused the famed comedian of sexual misconduct.

According to reports, on Thursday (December 31st) U.S. Judge Magistrate David Hennessey in Springfield, Mass., said Camille Cosby failed to prove she and her husband were protected by the state’s marital disqualification law.

Judge Hennessey also denied claims the value of Camille’s testimony would be outweighed by the “undue burden” of the deposition.

A lawyer for Cosby’s accusers, Joseph Cammarata, argued last month he should be able to question Cosby’s wife because she may have had “information that’s relevant to the litigation in this matter.”

In a motion filed December 18, Cosby’s lawyers said Camille doesn’t have any information about the women’s accusations, and subjecting Camille to a deposition is unnecessary.
