Embattled comedian Bill Cosby has found a strong support in the person of no other than his better half, Camille Cosby.

As a show of support to Bill, 70-year-old Camille accompanied her husband in an interview with Associated Press.

Associated Press actually planned to ask the couple about how their personal art collection ended up at a Smithsonian exhibit.

Camille remained mum as Bill asked the reporter to scamper his line of questioning.

Bill's nephew, Braxton Cosby, who heads Cosby Media Productions, recently defended his uncle in an interview with FarrahGray.com, saying he is "innocent."

However, Camille or any of Cosby's children have not yet made any public statements amidst the barrage of accusations against the 77-year-old comedian.

Cosby's lawyer called the claims as "unsubstantiated" and "fantastical."

While Camille has remained mum throughout the crisis afflicting his husband-and her family-a source for People revealed that she supports her husband "on every level."

Camille was 19 when she married Cosby 51 years ago.

"She's behind him," the source revealed.

"I think that their half-century of marriage and love and accomplishment, that outweighs things like this."

Cosby's latest 545-page biography, Cosby: His Life and Times, has been criticized for bypassing the actor's sexual misfits leading to a civil lawsuit in 2006.

The book, though, details how the couple met.

Born Camille Hanks, she was praised for her resemblance with actress Lena Horne. Her father was a research chemist while her mother was a Howard University graduate.

The book also explains that Camille and Bill's interest in studying human behavior was the reason why the two got attracted with each other.

The two got to know each other by way of friend Ron Crockett in a bowling alley near the University of Maryland campus. A week later, Cosby proposed for marriage, although Camille delayed the wedding because she wanted to see if their relationship could last long-distance. Besides, Camille's parents had hesitations of her dating a nightclub comedian seven years her older.

Fast forward and in 1963, Cosby already making a name for himself at the Tonight Show, was eventually accepted by Camille's parents. They approved his proposal on the condition that they would attend pre-marriage classes with the family priest.

They got married January 25, 1964 on a converted basketball court in Olney, Maryland since Hanks' family church was under construction. Interestingly, not one member in Cosby's family was there, including his mother, Anna. It is believed that she has not forgiven Camille's parents for initially rejecting her son's proposal. 

Camille eventually started to influence her husband, particularly on his performance.

A family friend told People. "When they first got together - she was 19 and he was 26 when they married ... he was still doing some black humor, as in black race humor, and she said, 'You don't need to do that. Just be yourself.'

Camille has always been Bill's number one fan and critic.
