ICHEOKU says strongly believes that were her father to have a choice, he would rather he is the one gone than to witness yet another one of his children being buried, at just 44 years old. HIs other child, an only son, Ennis, was killed in 1997 and 21 years later another child, Ensa, is dead.
Bill Cosby and wife Camille must be getting tired of the seemingly endless tragedies which strike their family nearly frequently. This death is in addition to the sexual assaults and molestations charges to be retried against Bill Cosby. Ensa Camille Cosby died of renal failure, she was 44 years old. May her soul rest.
A daughter who has been an astute defender of her father during his sexual misconduct and assault cases and who stood unshakably by his side, must indeed be a heavy loss for her father to bear. In one of her fiery defenses, Ensa Cosby had this to say about her father and the sexual assault cases:-
"My father has been publicly lynched in the media” and the accusations have impacted our family. The accusations against my father have been one-sided since the beginning and, when he tried to defend himself, he was sued in civil court. I've seen the accusations become more horrific and extreme with time and I have witnessed my father's reputation and legendary work be dismissed without any proof. I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal.
How the charges came against him, how people believed them before they were ever scrutinized or tested, how people who questioned the claims were shut down and ignored. My family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standards of pretending to protect the rights of some, but ignoring the rights of others and exposing innocent children to such appalling accusations about someone they love dearly and who has been so loving and kind to them is beyond cruel."
ICHEOKU says may the good Lord grant the Cosby family the fortitude to bear their unquantifiable loss. Adieu Ensa.
