Mary Cosby has provided several comedic moments so far on season six of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. However, she suffered some bad news before the season premiered as Robert Cosby Jr
. faced an arrest. Now, she’s opening up about how this has actually helped him. Plus, she’s responding to Britani Bateman.
As fans know, Mary and Robert became vulnerable during season five of RHOSLC about his battle with addiction. As she’d said in interviews, Robert had improved, but he was arrested in September after police responded to a domestic violence call. This was in association with his attempt to break into his father-in-law’s home.
Mary spoke to PEOPLE in November and stated that the arrest actually served as a force for good in Robert’s life. According to the RHOSLC star, “It was for his good.”
Mary continued, “I think he needed that. He’s never encountered anything like that. He’s never been through anything like that. I don’t mind it. It hurt me at the time. I was devastated, I was worried, I was scared. But some things happen for a reason to show you the path you’re on. I feel like he needed that and that he understands that that’s the wrong journey.”
Robert also spoke to the outlet, saying that he is taking his situation “day by day.” Robert also stated that he’s “not where I want to be, but I’m certainly not where I used to be,” adding, “I will get there!”
Mary also gave an update about Robert’s wife, Alexiana, who was recently living in the Cosby home, as well as the details surrounding his arrest. She said, “She’s out of our house now, so they snuck out to be together and got caught. So the parents made sure that he [was arrested for trespassing].”
Due to Robert and Alexiana being apart, Mary said his arrest “became a blessing in disguise.” Regarding learning about Robert’s addiction, Mary also shared that she’s previously received direct messages on social media stating that her son had been using drugs.
She said, “I was like, ‘What are they talking about?’ After reading these messages, I was trying to put it together, and at first, I was just clueless. I just decided to ask him, ‘What is going on?’”
Mary spoke of that emotional scene from season five, saying, “I think I asked at the right time because we had never talked about it until those cameras were up and rolling.”
She continued, “We were in his room, and he just was real and honest, and he told me the truth, and I didn’t judge him. I respected it. I know that talking is the best way to overcome something. When you hide something, you don’t want to change it. I dealt with it in the mindset that if he’s talking about it, it’s because he wants to change.”
Mary also teased the rest of season six, saying, “This year is so amazing. It’s beautiful, it’s captivating, it draws you in, it’s touching. I am proud of all the women. I’m proud of all of us — except Britani [Bateman]. I’m not proud of her. I have no reason to be proud of Britani. Some people are just not your taste.”
In other Mary news, Reality Tea recently spoke to the RHOSLC star. When asked if she agreed with Andy Cohen‘s comments about Britani being thirsty, she said, “A hundred percent. She’s thirsty.” Mary went on to recall a time when Britani told her to “save it for the cameras.”
“And I said, ‘I don’t save anything for the camera. I just beam,’” Mary added. “I just want to be myself.”
Tamar Braxton’s marriage to Vince Herbert has been a subject of public scrutiny for years. Many people have speculated that Tamar married Vince for his money, but as the couple’s story unfolds, it’s clear that their relationship was more complex than that. While their marriage did have its challenges, it’s important to separate fact from speculation.
One thing that stands out is the way Vince Herbert himself explained their relationship. He once stated that Tamar had her own money before meeting him. Contrary to what some believe,
This small but telling detail dispels the notion that their marriage was purely about financial gain. What makes their story even more significant is the fact that Vince never made Tamar sign a prenuptial agreement
. This speaks volumes about his trust in their relationship and his belief in their commitment to each other. Tamar, having the option to walk away from the marriage with everything in the divorce, chose instead to leave with nothing, a gesture that showed her love for Vince was genuine. Her choice to leave everything behind is a powerful reminder that sometimes love is about what you give, not what you take.
However, things didn’t remain perfect, and their marriage eventually began to suffer. As with many relationships, the challenges arose when they began mixing business with marriage. Vince, a well-known music executive, and Tamar, a rising star in her own right, were both heavily invested in their careers. Unfortunately, this blend of business and personal life put a strain on their relationship, and they found themselves struggling to maintain a balance.
It’s no secret that the pressures of the entertainment industry can create stress on even the strongest of relationships. Tamar and Vince’s story was no different, and their journey together is a testament to the complexities that come with fame, business, and personal lives intertwined. The constant media attention and the expectations placed on them added layers of difficulty to an already challenging relationship.
While their marriage ended in divorce, it’s important to recognize that their love for each other was real, even when things started to fall apart. The public’s view of Tamar and Vince’s relationship may have been clouded by rumors, but the truth remains that their bond began with love, and it ended because of the strains that come with mixing love and business.
Despite their differences and the ultimate breakdown of their marriage, Tamar and Vince’s story is a reminder that love is never as simple as it seems from the outside. There were real emotions, real challenges, and real sacrifices made. For Tamar, the lesson learned was that love and career need balance, and sometimes, walking away is the hardest, yet most necessary, decision.
