Mary Cosby Ditches Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Reunion, and Presumably Quits the Show

Mary Cosby, one of the stars of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” did not turn up on Thursday at the taping for the Season 2 reunion, Variety has confirmed. Cosby, who is the leader of the Faith Temple Pentecostal Church, has come under fire this season for running what has been characterized by some of her cast members as a cult.

Cosby’s place on the show has always been a curiosity. Her grandmother was the former leader of Faith Temple Pentecostal Church, and seemingly a prominent figure in Salt Lake City. In Season 1, Cosby revealed that her grandmother’s dying wish was that Cosby marry her husband, Robert, thereby sealing her position as the new leader of the church, which Cosby agreed to. The decision seems to have estranged Cosby from her own mother, who thought she should inherit the grandmother’s position.

Cosby has also had to apologize for making racist remarks on the show, after complimenting new cast member Jennie Nguyen, who is Vietnamese, for her “slanted eyes.” In recent weeks, Cosby has responded to viewers’ criticisms, always ending in disaster.
