'Certified lunatic': Internet slams 'RHOSLC' star Mary Cosby for calling Whitney Rose a 'racist'
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: After skipping Season 2's reunion and quitting 'RHOSLC', Mary Cosby returned to the hot seat, hurling accusations at co-stars during the three-part finale.
Cosby, joined by the rest of the cast, was asked by Andy Cohen why she decided to sit against them in Season 2.
Cohen questioned Mary about her belief that Whitney was racist, to which she responded, 'I do. 100 per cent. I do.'
Cosby claimed mistreatment throughout the season, feeling uncomfortable with the housewives. Trouble brewed with Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay over her Season 4 comments.
During a conversation with Meredith Marks, Mary expressed disappointment in the ladies' lack of growth.
Mary accused Whitney of racism after Whitney called her a hypocrite on X, leading Mary to tweet, 'This tells me Whitney is Racist too!'
When Mary replied that she thought Whitney was a racist, everyone was too stunned to speak.
Whitney explained her tweet, "I put so much work into myself, went to therapy, and made conscious efforts to be a better person."
Mary interjected, saying, "So you're saying what you're saying, cursing and tweeting me is growth?"
Mary also made the point that she did not say anything about Whitney on social media first. She defended herself, stating that Whitney is a part of the Mormon church and claimed their beliefs are dependent on skin color.
However, Mary faced the wrath of the internet as she called Whitney a 'racist'. Users expressed their annoyance on social media and in the post by TMZ.
A user commented, "Mary baby you have said some of the most racist s*** on reality TV but somehow still got asked to come back. Stop."
Another wrote, "Mary has some definite issues. I do think she has some mental illness, so I am hesitant to say anything about her being 'crazy'. But, on top of that, she has an inflated ego & she is rude. It's obvious she doesn't want to be around these women so quit asking her to. Also, no. I don't believe Whitney is a racist, but I have always believed Mary is a cult leader."
Another user thought, "Mary is unhinged and crazy."
A user wrote, "It was a disgusting comment," as Mary called Whitney a "racist."
Another stated, "Mary is an absolute nut," stating how crazy Mary's antics are.
The housewives reunited in New York for the first segment of the reunion episode, discussing the highs and lows of the fourth season.
In this episode, Monica, the show's newest cast member, cleared up misconceptions about her past, receiving backlash for her phony social media accounts.
In 'RHOSLC' reunion part 2, the women discuss the allegations and rumors about Mary Cosby, leading to Lisa Barlow breaking down after Whitney Rose and Heather Gay as Mary joined the cast discussing her fallout.
What is the feud between 'RHOSLC' star Whitney Rose and Mary Cosby?
The feud between 'RHOSLC' Whitney Rose and Mary Cosby is not a new one. They were never really good friends. After Season 1, Mary distanced herself from the entire cast.
A stand-out personality, Mary seemed to trust and have faith in Jesus a lot.
Mary opened up about her unconventional marriage to her step-grandfather after her grandmother died. In the first season, Mary expressed her unhappiness and called Whitney a 'bobblehead.'
They engaged in a Twitter war (now deleted) when Mary accused Whitney of being a 'liar.' However, they reconciled in the end.
In Season 4 Episode 8, Whitney Rose and Mary Cosby met for dinner, leading to an argument and eventual walkout.
Despite Whitney's apology, Mary called her and her husband predators, stating she would not waste time on her, leading to a walkout.
Why did Mary Cosby take a step back from 'RHOSLC'?
Mary Cosby was absent from 'RHOSLC' Season 3, as the makers of the show had no intention of bringing her to the show.
Her decision to skip the Season 2 reunion might have been a significant reason for her exclusion from the next season.
In Season 1, Mary faced accusations of running a cult and had conflicts with Whitney Rose and Jennie Nguyen.
In Season 2, she referred to Jennie as a "Mexican thug," a racial comment that may have contributed to her removal from the main cast.
Will Mary Cosby return for 'RHOSLC' Season 5?
Mary Cosby returned in 'RHOSLC' Season 4 as a side cast member. When she was asked about her participation in 'RHOSLC' Season 5, she responded with a "Yeah! Maybe" in an interview with E! News.
She also mentioned that if her friend Monica Garcia is going to be a part of the next season, she does not mind being involved in 'RHOSLC.'
It remains to be seen whether she will be a part of the main cast or continue as a side cast member.
