Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial begins on June 5th in Pittsburgh. During his pre-trial hearings and jury selection, the comedian seemed paranoid to stay anywhere else but his home. According to Page Six, Cosby got up at 2:30 every morning, opting to fly his private jet from the courthouse to his Philadelphia home because he thought he would be threatened if he stayed in a hotel.
A source reportedly close to the family told the New York Post, "He and his wife are afraid that if he stayed at a hotel, someone will find a way to poison him, put something in his food." Another source told Page Six that Cosby's blindess makes him more susceptible to being poisoned or having someone sneak into his room.
It doesn't stop there. Cosby also allegedly is afraid of being bugged and spied on if he stayed in a hotel. He also wouldn't drink from courthouse water fountains, instead bringing bottled water and meals along with him.
Some may see this as ironic, since the 79-year-old is accused of drugging many of the 60 women who have accused the comedian of sexual assault.
A source also adds that Cosby's wife, Camille, is worried about him and calls several times a day to check in. They also claim Cosby feels abandoned by many of his peers in the industry including Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Sinbad, since they have not supported him.
Cosby is charged with drugging and assaulting former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand in 2004. If he is convicted, he will face up to 10 years in prison.
