Why did Mary M. Cosby not go to the ‘RHOSLC’ Season 2 reunion?

Cosby made an appearance on Twitter Spaces where she spilled the tea about why she decided to skip the RHOSLC reunion.

“The only thing I have to say about the reunion is [that] I didn’t go because it was one-sided,” she said. “And everyone heard one side of what they felt — they told lies. I was not going to get on the reunion for a four-part reunion and talk about this guy that has passed.”

When someone gasped at the thought of a four-part reunion Cosby acknowledged it and said they would have a lot to talk about adding, “How many titles did they put on me? I was a lot of things this season.”

Another user asked what other housewives she liked from the franchises and she cited Nene Leakes, Bethenny Frankel, and Ramona Singer. Cosby said that The Real Housewives of New York City “fell off” when Leah McSweeney joined the show.

“It’s my opinion, doesn’t mean it’s right. When they start mixing things up… I think they should’ve kept the originals and when they start adding cast it just started not mixing and matching and things just started to get dull and boring,” she added.

Andy Cohen talks about Mary M. Cosby skipping reunion

A housewife that doesn’t show up to a reunion is never the best scenario for executive producer Andy Cohen. The Watch What Happens Live host took to his SiriusXM show to talk about how he felt about Cosby not showing up to the RHOSLC reunion.

“I had a sense [Cosby was not coming to the reunion], I spoke to her on New Year’s Eve, a few hours before I went on the air, we had a long talk,” Cohen said. “And it’s her story to tell, but I got the sense that she was not finding gratitude on being on the show anymore.”

Cohen would’ve wanted Cosby to show up to the reunion so she could have her side of the situation explained adding that by not appearing she is allowing “others to control your narrative as your last gesture. I would much rather hear from her.”

Mary M. Cosby calls reality television toxic

Days after news broke that Cosby didn’t show up to the RHOSLC reunion, she posted an article on Instagram with a quote that called reality television toxic.

“Reality shows have a negative impact on our children in more ways than one,” the article alleged. “These shows focus on bullying, aggressive behavior, unhealthy competition, and kids often tend to confuse reality TV with the real world.”

Cosby would later delete the post but social media accounts like Queens of Bravo shared screenshots of the post.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
