Mary Cosby was admittedly disappointed by the way her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast mates reacted to her “unconventional marriage” to husband Robert Cosby Sr.
“I was very disappointed in the treatment of it and the treatment of me as far as… taking sides,” Cosby explained during an interview with Us Weekly magazine last week.
As fans learned early on during season one, Robert was previously married to Cosby’s late grandmother, which some found to be quite a talking point.

According to Cosby, she believes she was treated unfairly by her co-stars in regard to the way they spoke about her relationship, and also believes that the way they reacted to the nature of her marriage was immature.
“It was definitely unfair on my end of the stick but it is what it is. I signed up for it. But am I disappointed? Yeah. [They were] not very mature,” she alleged.

But in my mind, I’m not here to make sense. I’m here to tell you, ’This is what Mary is about and this is my story.’ You don’t have to accept it… or you can.”
