Mary Cosby is arguably one of the most controversial housewives in the history of the franchise, let alone on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The minister stunned audiences, and her co-stars, when it was revealed that she married her step-grandfather, Robert Cosby.

Mary alleges the marriage is at the behest of her late grandmother in order to keep the family’s business legacy intact.

During a scene in which she explained their unconventional union early on in the season, Mary claimed that she never wanted to marry Robert but she did so out of obedience to her grandmother in order to inherit the estate.

But during the reunion, Mary admits there is no proof that her late grandmother requested such and she actually changes her story regarding why her grandmother wanted her to marry Robert in the first place. She told Andy Cohen:

“Well, my grandmother told me for herself that she wanted me to take her place,” she explained. “So basically, Robert Sr. was 20 years younger than my grandmother. My grandmother felt like she robbed his youth and so she said ‘If something ever happens, I want you to marry one of my girls because I know they’ll be loyal to you and treat you good like you treated me.’”

In a new twist, Cosby says not only have she and her husband not been intimate in years, but they also don’t sleep in the same bed together anymore. She also revealed such during the reunion special.

“You can’t go through a marriage for 22 years and be happy,” she declared. “Like every single Chanel, he’s bought it for me. And I haven’t had to buy myself anything. All my designer things, Robert Sr. has gotten them for me … We’re happy and you can’t say or do anything to take happiness away from me because it’s hard to get. It’s very hard to find. And if you can find that in a man, it doesn’t matter where he came from.”
