Mary Cosby’s Son, Robert Jr., Dies at Age 23
Robert Jr. Cosby has died at 23.
Robert Jr. is the son of Mary Cosby, a cast member of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Mary has been scrutinized on the show because she is married to her step-grandfather, Robert C. Cosby. Robert Jr. is their son.
Viewers saw firsthand Robert Jr.’s struggles with drug addiction, and how that impacted his mom on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Three months ago Robert Jr.’s wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce.
TMZ reports that on Monday police responded to a possible drug overdose, but “it turned into a death investigation,” so there is no official cause of death yet.
It has been heartbreaking to watch Mary suffer while she watched Robert Jr. struggle. She clearly loved him deeply and it’s upsetting to see such a young man lose his future.
Rest in peace, Robert Jr. Cosby.
