Bill Cosby Suicide Fears

Bill Cosby has been driven to the edge and frantic friends worry the sick star will kill himself rather than face another jury for a sexual assault retrial!

The perverted 80-year-old TV personality was blindsided when his lawyer Brian McMonagle abruptly quit shortly after a Pennsylvania jury failed to convict Cosby of the 2004 attack on former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. Though McMonagle skillfully guided Cosby to an unexpected mistrial, he got fed up by the “Team Chaos” of handlers surrounding the former "Jell-O" pitchman.

  “McMonagle chastised Cosby’s publicist, Andrew Wyatt, in front of reporters, because he’d hold press conferences while the jury was deliberating and give mixed messages,” a source told The National ENQUIRER. McMonagle was further put off by Cosby’s radio ramblings, when the fallen star said he wouldn’t take the stand in his own defense because he’d come off as “a guilty man trying to hide that he was guilty but doing a bad job of it.”

Now, as his squad searches frantically for a new lawyer — dangling $1,500-an-hour fees in front of the likes of Michael Jackson’s former attorney Tom Mesereau and Robert Shapiro, who represented O.J. Simpson — Cosby is losing it, and those in his circle fear he may try to take his own life. “Bill is a broken man,” the source said. “Everything he’s worked for all his life has been torn down.”
