RHOSLC Star Mary Cosby Married Late Grandmother’s Second Husband; Was She Forced To Marry Her Step-Grandfather To Inherit Family’s Fortune?! — Inside Mary's Family Scandal, Lawsuits, And Murder Allegations!

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, cast member Mary Cosby went viral after Bravo released the official trailer and unveiled the cast and their bios. Fans noticed that her bio stated that she married her late grandmother's husband, Bishop Robert Cosby, who happens to be her step-grandfather.

While Cosby’s marriage is what has everyone talking, there appears to be more scandal behind her family drama.

According to her Bravo bio, she inherited her family’s churches and financial fortune on the condition that she marry the man. They’ve been together for 20 years and share one child.

Mary’s grandmother was a Pentecostal minister, Rosemary “Mama” Redmon Cosby. She grew up in Indiana where she was deeply religious. She also had four children by the time she was 29 years old in 1960, though it’s not clear who their father was. That same year, she believed God was telling her to go to Salt Lake City, which she did, taking buses, hitchhiking, and sometimes walking to get there. Once she arrived in her new hometown, she started a church in her living room. At 42-years-old she met Pentecostal Bishop Robert C. Cosby, who was 22 years younger than she was and married him. Together, they founded Faith Temple Pentecostal Church, an endeavor that grew over the years to include sites in Utah and Indiana, according to a report by All About The Tea.

Bishop Robert C. Cosby wed his step-granddaughter, Mary, when she was 24 years old.

Rosemary “Mama” Redmon Cosby died from a heart attack in January 1997 and left behind a multimillion-dollar fortune. After her passing, a bitter family feud started and her daughter, Rosalind Cazares, alleged that her stepdad, Bishop Cosby, murdered his wife. Rosemary’s body was exhumed in Florida during the dispute.

Cazares argued that Florida law required an autopsy, which Cosby’s husband has fought. Cazares and her stepdad, Bishop Robert Cosby engaged in a legal battle — punctuated by allegations of financial mismanagement and documents doctoring – over Mama Cosby’s multimillion-dollar estate, reports All About The Tea.

According to Cazares claimed her 65-year-old mother was in good health before her death. However,  a medical examiner concluded that she died of natural causes.

Additionally, Cazares accused her stepfather of forging documents to claim Mama Cosby’s property. A lawsuit was filed and a jury awarded $1.2 million in damages to be paid to Rosalind through the estate. In 2007 the feud “reignited” when Cazares filed a new lawsuit accusing her stepfather of “mishandling the estate’s assets and conspiring to deprive her of her share of her mother’s fortune.”
