The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City pulsates with intense energy. Over the course of its five thrilling seasons, we’ve witnessed on-screen arrests, a con artist joining the group, and the coinage of “high-body-count hair” by Angie Katsanevas. This is a testament to the dedication of the cast members, who seem to be living their roles as Housewives with utmost seriousness.
Apart from that, there’s Mary Cosby. Originally one of the main cast members, she has never held back her thoughts and can come across as blunt, even to the point of being rude. She’s been disrespectful towards her fellow cast members, such as calling Jen Shah hospital-like or comparing Whitney Rose to a bobblehead. With no apparent ally on set, Mary missed the second-season reunion, leading some to believe she wouldn’t return.
Following Jen Shah’s guilty plea, producers decided to bring her back for season four. However, this time around, viewers were left shocked as she openly expressed no desire to get acquainted with new cast member Angie K., skipped all group events, and refused to participate when Angie appeared. The situation reached a climax when Jen took the cast’s Sprinter van to a McDonald’s drive-through while everyone else was partying at a bar.
In this latest season, it’s been Mary who has truly shone as the standout player, earning the MVP title. She’s not just friends with Angie K.; they’ve even attended a hip-hop dance class together. She’s taken the initiative to connect with the other women, participated in their disagreements, attended every gathering (even if she was running late), and has become the witty commentator, adding humor while cutting through the nonsense of reality TV. She also bravely shared a heart-wrenching moment when she discussed her son Robert Jr.’s addiction struggles and helped him on the road to recovery. As the season came to a close, we had a chat with Mary to find out what’s different this time around on RHOSLC, how revealing her toughest moments affected her, and her thoughts on the newcomer Britani Bateman, who seems to be causing quite a stir.
It seems that you were a “friend of” the group last season, appearing reluctant to leave the Sprinter van. However, this year you’re attending hip-hop dance classes, mingling with other women, and participating in various events. So, what has caused this transformation? Well, I think last season I wasn’t quite ready yet, and maybe I just didn’t have the mental or physical preparation to fully immerse myself. I was thrown back into it without being fully prepared, which made me feel out of sorts. But this year, things seem different; I feel better, both mentally and physically, and that has allowed me to enjoy these new experiences more.
In season five, I decided to join and committed myself. I mentally geared up, saying something like, “I’m ready to take on this challenge with everything I’ve got, and I want to deliver something special for the audience because I understand that we need to step things up.” After Monica, it felt like we had to open up more, and that was the only way to truly connect with people. And that’s when I simply showed up and gave my best.
After I punched in, how did I feel? Did this season bring more joy during filming for me?
I must say, I truly enjoyed myself. I was immersed in the moment and made the best of it. The other women didn’t pose any significant challenges. I wasn’t aiming to be portrayed as a villain. This time around, the storyline was more favorable towards me, which undeniably brought happiness and enhanced my experience on set. It felt like the plot moved forward swiftly, introducing a fresh version of Mary: “Welcome. Hello, everyone. Here is the genuine me, though I never had the opportunity to express it before.
Was there any particular part during the filming that you found delightful, especially since you were in Milwaukee where you got to try beer for the first time in your life?
Have you imbibed beer since then?
I haven’t. I’m still very much a Dom Pérignon type of girl. That’s always been my drink of choice. However, I truly enjoyed my trip to Milwaukee. I simply wanted to be authentic and let the world see the real Mary.
I’m not certain, but it seems unlikely that the other women on the show truly got to see the real me. Their behavior towards me has always been harsh, and I believe they weren’t interested in forming genuine friendships with me in the past. It felt like a constant battle between us, as if we were worlds apart. However, this time around, I feel as though they’ve made room for me to reveal more about myself, and I’ve been able to open up and let them in. It’s almost as if they didn’t know I was capable of being so cool before.
As a cinephile looking back, I used to steer clear of Angie during the previous season, but as you pointed out, we’ve grown quite close this time around. So, how did our relationship transform? Well, it started at the Season Four reunion when I sported those Tom Ford bracelets. Angie recognized them instantly, and my husband, Robert Sr., remarked that there was a connection between us. At first, I was skeptical, but his words made me lower my guard and let her in to get to know her better because I trusted his judgment. Of course, she believes it was the time she pointed out my lipstick on my teeth at the reunion, but truth be told, it was more about giving her an opportunity to show me who she really is.
What makes Angie special to you?
She allows me to express myself freely, our conversations are meaningful, and she’s an attentive listener. She doesn’t bring me down; instead, she encourages me. I could continue listing reasons, but the essence lies in the trust we share – a trust that enables me to be myself around her, and she appreciates it deeply, reciprocating warmly.
Why did you choose to confide in her about everything concerning Robert Jr., before sharing it with any other women? It seemed as though she genuinely cared about your situation, and was willing to listen without judgment. I’m someone who tends to handle my own issues, but I felt that she was available and ready to lend an ear, without jumping to celebrate or add to the burden – similar to how I believe Lisa would have been.
Following the season’s finale and Robert Jr.’s narrative, have any of the other ladies contacted you since?
I’ve actually heard from all of them, including Britani. Surprisingly, Lisa was the only one who didn’t reach out, which is why I mentioned that she seems to be somewhat content when others are experiencing difficulties. However, everyone else, even other Housewives, reached out to me. Even Rihanna contacted me. I was delighted by their support after witnessing how well the show was received and appreciated by the audience.
How did you decide to make this public? Had you been anxious about it before it was viewed by others?
I wasn’t anxious actually. I rely a lot on prayer and I try to let God guide my life, making decisions that I believe are best for me or the paths I should take. I felt led to do what I did. I shared my thoughts with my son, telling him to open up about his feelings, so we could discuss them, hoping that if we helped just one person, we would have accomplished our goal.
1. Following our completion, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how exceptional it turned out. Watching it left me in tears. I was astonished at the quality of our final product.
2. Upon finishing it, I hadn’t anticipated it would be so impressive. As I viewed it, my emotions got the best of me and I shed tears. The outcome of our project surpassed my expectations.
3. It wasn’t until we finished that I realized how outstanding the final result was. Upon watching it, I cried because it was so moving. I couldn’t believe what we had managed to produce.
4. After completing it, I underestimated its quality. When I saw it, my tears flowed freely. I couldn’t help but be amazed at the caliber of our output.
5. Following our work on it, I didn’t expect it to be as impactful as it was. Watching it brought me to tears. I couldn’t believe that’s what we had produced together.
6. Once we finished, I wasn’t prepared for how powerful it would be. As I viewed it, my eyes filled with tears. The outcome of our collaboration exceeded my expectations.
7. Completing it left me unprepared for its greatness. Seeing it moved me to tears. I was stunned at the level of quality in what we had produced.
Is it alright if I inquire about Robert Jr.’s current state? He’s managing incredibly well. He’s focusing on one day at a time, which is all any of us can truly do. I have high expectations for him and he’s exceeding them. I couldn’t be more proud. Moreover, he seems genuinely content with our conversation under the spotlight of 59,000 cameras, and we both felt united in our shared goal – his seeking help and my offering it. All in all, he’s doing well, but I wouldn’t want to risk any bad luck coming into play.
I truly appreciate your concern. To be honest, no one has asked me about it before. But surprisingly, I’m doing very well. In fact, Rihanna reached out to me not once, but twice! She contacted us when the show premiered, expressing her love for us. And on Christmas Day, she sent a message saying “Merry Christmas, and I love you and Robert Jr.” It feels great knowing that someone of her stature has taken notice of what we’re doing. Doesn’t it seem like you’re headed in the right direction when people like that show interest?
Initially, various bloggers, such as The Sun and TMZ, hinted they would reveal Robert was in rehab. In response, I thought, “By all means, share the news.” They then asked for my perspective, to which I replied, “I’m not engaging with you, I won’t say a word.” When it turned out to be successful, I felt, “Alright, what will you post next? Enjoy the success.
In our discussion, let’s reflect on some delightful moments from the season. One particular incident that stood out for me was your tardy arrival at Meredith’s bat mitzvah and peering through the windows. Now, I live in Salt Lake City with a 84103 zip code, which isn’t Park City. Regardless of my timely departure, the drive alone takes about an hour. Then, when you reach Park City and navigate into Heber, it can be quite tricky to find your way amidst the bustling crowd. Add that to the fact that I arrived after the event had started, and there was no one around to guide me. So, in a bid to figure out where I should go, I found myself peeking through the windows.
Was the sight of it enough to bring on some laughter for you? Well, I was utterly amused. I thought something along the lines of, “What on earth are you up to, Mary? Couldn’t you just locate a doorway and enter it instead?” But all in all, it proved to be quite an entertaining episode. The producers did lend a hand, although they didn’t exactly guide me towards that elusive door.
Certainly not! It was Bronwyn Newport’s debut as a Housewife. What did you think of her performance? I believe she excelled; she truly enriched the show. Nevertheless, towards the end, she began to falter in my opinion. Somehow, she seemed overly eager for Lisa’s friendship and validation, which I find a sign of weakness because when there are other women willing to befriend you, focusing solely on one person to such an extent that you’re not truthful and come across as two-faced can create issues. To be honest, I’m puzzled as to why they desire Lisa’s friendship so much.
What’s your take on Britani, given she’s the new addition? I see her as quite a challenge – a mix-up for television, a conundrum for Bravo, but just what we might require to stir things up.
Is it possible that her recording everyone in the Sprinter van was more than just casual filming? If she hadn’t been caught, what was her intention with those recordings? It’s hard to say for certain, but considering our history and past experiences, it could have been an attempt at blackmail. I didn’t directly confront her about it, Meredith and others took care of that. It was sufficient, you know what I mean? We’ve been through a lot together, and we’ve been betrayed by women in the past, so it’s only natural to be cautious.
Absolutely, I would jump at the opportunity to return for another season! To be honest, I can’t transform myself into another character because, well, I am who I am. However, I believe that after Bravo has gotten to know the real me as Mary, they will continue to see more of the authentic and vibrant Mary in future seasons.
