Camille's coping well:

 

 

Her full (and vile) statement.

I guess Camille has found her theme song....

She thinks denial is a river in Egypt.

Standing by your man is one thing.  She could have said she acknowledges that her husband had problems but believes everyone, even a serial sexual predator, deserves rehabilitation and forgiveness.  We might have respected Camille for sticking by Bill under those circumstances, even if we couldn't necessarily understand or agree with her.  But, when you brand his accusers as liars and say the prosecutors and jury have engaged in "mob justice," you've pretty much lost the battle.  At a time when she needed to show restraint, she chose instead to lash out, thereby doing herself no favors with those who've long accused her of being complicit in his sexual perversions.

@Khan, you hit the nail right on the head. I know we will never know the whole story about their marriage, but I will never understand why she never left him. She could have been set for life. Why did he have to drug women and knock them out to get turned on? There would have been (and surely were) groupie-like women who would have willingly gone to bed with this rich and famous celebrity. He is a sick, twisted and evil man, and for enabling him, the Mrs. isn't much better.

Exactly.

Here's an interesting op-ed from Deadspin about how Temple basically looked the other way:

ETA: Apparently not true - yet.

After all this time and years of credible allegations, what was the straw that broke the camel’s back? Just the conviction?

[Vee]

I guess the hundred rapes weren't enough!

One of those tabloid sites claimed a few months ago it was their daughter's death making her have enough of him. I don't know.

 

Wait - are they getting their new from Radar? That is not a reliable site. 

 

Vulture seems to be getting more and more blatantly tabloid-ish.

Yeah, I can't find it confirmed by any of the major networks, the AP, etc. If it is true...WHAT TOOK HER SO LONG???

[Vee]

Radar is generally not a great source, no, but the more granular details looked legit to me. If it's wrong I'll retract. I wouldn't have touched it if Vulture hadn't reprinted it, as for all their faults they do not tend to slavishly reprint from RadarOnline.

If she's moving out, then it's only because she's gotten everything she could outta Bill and their marriage and is ready to move on.

I like David Marchese and E. Alex Jung’s interviews a lot (Marchese’s interview with Quincy Jones was the most talked-about, but he’s gotten thoughtful, off-script stuff from many celebs; Jung’s interview with RuPaul was brilliant). But I think Vulture, like all outlets who get the bulk of their content from aggregating, can be desperate and slapdash in the quest for clicks, so I can understand some ambivalence. And they do slavishly pander to the most obnoxious elements on social media.
