Bill Cosby may have been all smiles as he arrived for his sexual assault trial, but reporter Steph Watts tells OK! that day one is off to a rocky start for the once-beloved Cosby Show star.
Bill arrived arm-in-arm with his TV daughter, Keshia Knight Pulliam, but inside the courtroom, members of his cheering section were no-shows at the start of the proceedings, including his wife, Camille!
"The courtroom was packed except for the several empty seats on Cosby’s side reserved for Cosby 'team,'" Steph revealed.
Bill was formally read his charges — three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
