U-Va. Phi Psi Members Speak About Impact Of Discredited Gang Rape Allegations

T. Rees Shapiro, Jan. 14, 2014, Washington Post

“We knew that the Rolling Stone story was not true,” said David Fontenot, 22, a senior from McLean, Va.

In the latest contribution to the Bill Cosby saga, we see husband and wife side by side as he addresses the very act of questioning about his numerous rape allegations in an AP interview (above). Mrs. Cosby continues to smile and looks away from the reporter several times, both she and her husband presuming that the cameras have stopped rolling. I will not read into her silence. I will not pull meaning about this woman and her thoughts and decisions other than to say that in the watching, the silence is palpable, wince-inducing and profoundly painful.
