Bill Cosby is “completely blind” and confined to his Pennsylvania home, according to a new report from the New York Post’s Page Six. If this in fact true, it seems like the comedian is “in his own personal hell”, as an anonymous source describes it.

The embroiled comedian has been dealing with a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus for quite sometime and is now completely blind.
The comedian once known as “America’s Dad” is now confined to his Pennsylvania home with only his wife, Camille, at his side. “His only friends are the small army of lawyers on his payroll”, a source told the Post. In January, Monique Pressley, another of his lawyers, said of his unusual appearance in his mug shot, “He’s a 78-year-old blind man who they’ve chosen to charge”. He continued, “Whether the tweets were in fact references to Cosby-and, if so, whether Constand breached the CSA by tweeting them-are questions to be answered at a later stage”.
Throughout the past few months, when Cosby has had to appear in court, he has been led into buildings with a person on either arm of his.
On Friday, a judge ruled that Cosby could not sue one of his alleged victims (not to mention her mother or the publication they spoke with) because they spoke to law enforcement agents about the alleged assault.
Back in January, another one of Cosby’s lawyers claimed the controversial celeb was an “old blind man” and it’s said the scandalized funnyman’s condition has only worsened. She was the first of more than 50 women who’ve accused Cosby of sexual misconduct.
