The funeral for Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby Jr., was not included in the filming for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

The Bravo star’s 23-year-old son passed away in late February after struggling with substance abuse. She is 53 years old.

TMZ reported that the funeral took place in Utah this weekend, and several people who worked on the show were there.

Lisa Barlow, Bronwyn Newport, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Britani Bateman, and Angie Katsanevas—all of Bill Cosby’s co-stars—also attended.

Andy Cohen shared on his SiriusXM radio show Monday that cast members from other Bravo reality shows were also in attendance.

Kyle Richards, Cynthia Bailey, and Shereé Whitfield were there to support Cosby when she was going through a tough period.

Bravo confirmed the sad news of Robert Jr.’s death in a statement to the Daily Mail, saying they were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Mary’s son.

We are deeply saddened by Mary’s loss and send our heartfelt sympathy to her and her family during this challenging time. She is a beloved part of our family, and we are thinking of them all.

A separate statement was also shared on behalf of Cosby and her husband, Robert Cosby Sr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our son, Robert Jr., who is now with God. While we deeply mourn his loss, we find solace in our faith and the knowledge that he is at rest. We appreciate all your prayers and lean on God for strength during this difficult time.

More information about what happened came to light through 911 dispatch recordings, which the Daily Mail acquired.

As a lifestyle expert focused on well-being, I’ve unfortunately encountered situations like this, and it’s always heartbreaking. In this case, emergency services were called because a young man, just 23 years old, was found unresponsive and wasn’t breathing. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly things can change, and the importance of knowing basic first aid.

Dispatchers reported that Narcan was given, and several police units were already heading to the location.

Authorities confirmed they responded to the emergency call at approximately 6:14pm.

Following the news, Cohen took to Threads to react to the heartbreaking tragedy. 

We received incredibly sad news from Salt Lake City. It’s the kind of thing every parent fears most. I’m deeply saddened for Mary and sending my heartfelt support to her and Robert Sr.

Since the beginning of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Cosby has been a cast member, and viewers have sometimes seen glimpses of her family life on the show.

Robert Jr. passed away just weeks after being released from the Salt Lake County Metro Jail, where he had been serving a two-month sentence.

Following a recent Instagram post by Cosby honoring her late son, her co-star Newport offered a message of support in the comments.

You always cherished every moment with him, no matter how old he was. I’ve always admired what a wonderful mother you are, and I know celebrating his life means a lot. This photo is a beautiful way to remember him.
