Mary Cosby\u00a0is known for bringing sharp one-liners and unexpected comedy to\u00a0\u201cThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,\u201d but behind the scenes, her family has been navigating a difficult chapter. Before season 6 premiered, her son Robert Cosby Jr. faced arrest\u2014and now, Mary is opening up about how the situation has ultimately served as a turning point in his life.<\/p>\n
In a new interview, the\u00a0RHOSLC star revealed how the family has been processing the incident, how Robert is doing today, and why the experience may have been exactly what he needed.<\/p>\n
Mary told\u00a0People\u00a0she now believes the incident was an unexpected turning point.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was for his good,\u201d she said. \u201cI think he needed that. He\u2019s never encountered anything like that. He\u2019s never been through anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
She admitted the situation initially devastated her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt hurt me at the time. I was worried; I was scared,\u201d she shared. \u201cBut some things happen for a reason to show you the path you\u2019re on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert echoed that sentiment, telling the outlet he is taking life \u201cday by day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not where I want to be, but I\u2019m certainly not where I used to be,\u201d he said. \u201cI will get there!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary also clarified details surrounding the arrest, sharing that Robert\u2019s wife, Alexiana \u2014 who had been staying with the Cosbys \u2014 is now living elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey snuck out to be together and got caught,\u201d she said. \u201cSo the parents made sure that he [was arrested for trespassing].\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the chaos, Mary believes the separation has helped him refocus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt became a blessing in disguise,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Mary revealed she first learned about Robert\u2019s drug use through direct messages from viewers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018What are they talking about?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAt first, I was clueless.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eventually, she confronted him directly \u2014 a moment filmed during season 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just was real and honest, and he told me the truth,\u201d Mary said. \u201cI didn\u2019t judge him. I respected it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The RHOSLC star believes his honesty was the first sign he wanted to change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you hide something, you don\u2019t want to change it,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf he\u2019s talking about it, it\u2019s because he wants to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for season 6, Mary teased a highly emotional, dramatic run ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year is so amazing. It draws you in,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m proud of all the women \u2014 except Britani [Bateman]. I have no reason to be proud of Britani.\u201d<\/p>\n
New episodes of \u201cThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City\u201d air Tuesday nights on Bravo.<\/p>\n
Hunter McVey<\/strong>\u2019s breakout role in the newest\u00a09-1-1\u00a0installment \u201ccame out of the blue,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cno pun intended.\u201d<\/p>\n McVey plays Blue Bennings on\u00a09-1-1: Nashville, a high-action drama that premiered last month.\u00a0Ryan Murphy<\/strong>,\u00a0Tim Minear<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rashad Raisani<\/strong>\u00a0teamed up to create the series, which also stars\u00a0<\/p>\n McVey landed his role on the show after he submitted an audition tape for a documentary that Murphy was working on, which led to his\u00a09-1-1: Nashville\u00a0audition. Now, he has \u201ca completely new outlook\u201d on life and on TV show production, \u201cjust learning how much goes into something like this and how much blood, sweat, tears, and time goes in from all 200 people involved to create something like this. It is magical to watch, and I’m happy some people are enjoying it half as much as I’m enjoying being part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a whirlwind of emotions,\u201d McVey said in a recent interview with iHeartCountry. He spent several 10-hour days working with his acting coach to prepare for the role, and has experienced \u201cthe wildest six months of my life.\u201d Blue Bennings is \u201cfiguring it out,\u201d McVey said of his character. \u201cHe’s not the most traditional guy from a sense, but he has a lot of qualities that admire and he’s a very loyal man and he wants to take care of his loved ones. It was something I really admire about Blue’s character.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tennessee-born actor plays a firefighter cadet who finds himself learning about his complicated family history, particularly involving his parents, played by O\u2019Donnell and Rimes. McVey\u2019s role has demanded a range from deeply emotional, vulnerable storylines to high-intensity scenes and stunt work (which keeps his music ranging from meditation and healing frequencies to\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI asked them to let me do anything they’ll let me,\u201d McVey said of his high-adrenaline stunts. \u201cWe get to work with extremely talented and professional stunt teams and stunt doubles that, if I’m in a situation where we’re in between them letting me do it or not, a lot of the times it works out because the stunt doubles on set with us will teach me how to do it properly, how to do it safely. We can run through some trials, see if I’m comfortable or not doing it. But I’m someone who really, really loves adrenaline, really loves high speeds. I love riding motorcycles. I love face and hair in the wind in high places. And one of my favorite moments was when we had saved the woman from the slide collapse…and I was up there about 50 feet or so up, just looking over Old Hickory and the sun was setting.<\/p>\n \u201cI get these moments a lot, almost every day on set, where it’s just like, \u2018pinch me,\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cIs this my real life? Is this my career? Is this my job? How cool is this? How blessed am I? \u2026Every stunt that they allow me to do, I will do. It just goes into being in that moment so much where it feels incredibly real. And I think that may help show to the audience as well on how realistic some of those scenes are.\u201d<\/p>\n McVey also credited the caliber of his cast mates \u2014 including Grammy-winning artist Rimes \u2014 with being \u201camazing\u2026people that I get to learn from and watch on a daily basis.\u201d He also applauded real first responders who spend time with the cast on set, and offer guidance to portray the profession on screen.<\/p>\n \u201cI’ve learned that I couldn’t be a real first responder,\u201d McVey admitted. \u201cThey are the true heroes that hopefully can be represented in a good light by what we’re doing because not only are most of the firefighters and first responders working their full-time job, they’re also coming to the set in their time off to either film with us or make sure that we know exactly what we’re doing in terms of the medical scenes, in terms of the firefighting scenes itself, the chiefs, the captains, and so, it’s a blessing to be able to learn from them. It’s a blessing to be able to be around people that are so selfless. \u2026It’s phenomenal, and they’ve helped me a ton,\u201d he added later. \u201cThey allow me to feel confident and know what I’m doing going into the scene, and then they’re so supportive and so nice and so genuine as well, where they’ve became family over a short period of time.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m trying to focus on bringing my 100% best to the set every single day and trying to make the incredible audience and fans of the\u00a09-1-1 universe proud,\u201d McVey shared with iHeartCountry as he looked ahead to what\u2019s next. \u201cIf I looked a year ago and guessed where I would be today, I would be completely far off. So, I don’t want to put any limiting beliefs or ceilings on it. But I want to focus on the projects at hand and release the reins of the outcomes and expectations and continuing to enjoy on a daily basis, be present and see what comes along. But I have a lot of hobbies. I like a lot of things. I love meeting new people. I love pushing myself. I love learning new things. So whatever life, God, the universe throws my way. It is going to be fun to see whatever it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mary Cosby\u00a0is known for bringing sharp one-liners and unexpected comedy to\u00a0\u201cThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,\u201d but behind the scenes, her family has been navigating a difficult chapter.
