The Real Housewives of Salt Lake Cityvibrates at a very high frequency.
And then theres Mary Cosby.
This most recent season, however, Mary has been the MVP.
Shes not only friends with Angie K.; she went to a hip-hop dance class with her.
What changed?Last season I dont think I was really ready.
I came from being not there mentally, physically, and then just jumping back into it.
But I just wasnt well.
My body didnt feel good.
I did it because they asked me to, basically.
And then season five I wanted to come and I engaged.
And thats when I just kind of clocked in and showed up.
How did it feel after you clocked in?
Did you enjoy filming this season more?I did enjoy it.
I was in the moment, and I made it worth what it was.
The women werent all coming at me.
I wasnt trying to be painted the villain.
I feel like the plot got pushed forward, kind of fast-forward to the new Mary: Welcome.
Hi, you guys.
This is the original me, but I didnt ever get a chance to show it.
Did you have any favorite parts of filming the season?I loved and enjoyed Milwaukee.
The beer was cool.
I never had beer in my life.
I didnt think I would ever even taste a beer.
Have you had beer since?I have not.
Im still a Dom Perignon girl.
Thatll always be my drink.
But I just really enjoyed going to Milwaukee.
I dont think so.
They were so mean to me.
It felt like me against the world and them too.
I feel like theyd never seen me before.
I think they just didnt know I was this cool.
And my husband, Robert Sr., also said, You and Angie have a connection.
And I said, We do?
Hes like, Yeah, look at you guys.
What do you love about Angie?I can be myself with her.
Her conversation is good.
Shes a good listener, and she builds me up.
Shes not a friend that tears you down.
Im a person that I carry my own burdens; I take care of my own problems.
I even heard from Britani.
But everyone else and even other Housewives reached out to me.
Even Rihanna reached out to me.
I was happy I did it after I received the way the people accepted it and loved it.
What was your decision-making process about sharing this with the world?
Were you worried about it before everybody had seen it?No, I wasnt worried, surprisingly.
After we did it, I didnt know it was that good.
When I watched it, I bawled my eyeballs out.
I was shocked that thats what we delivered.
Can I ask how Robert Jr. is doing now?Hes doing so good.
Hes taking one day at a time.
Thats what he can only do, and thats what I ask of him.
Hes doing great, and Im very proud of him, very proud of him.
Were both glad, and hes doing good.
I dont want to jinx it.
It mustve been really hard for you to go through that, too.
How are you doing?Thank you for asking me that.
No one has even asked me.
Im actually doing great.
Im getting a lot of love.
Like I said, Rihanna reached out to me twice.
She reached out to us when the show aired and told us she loved us.
And then on Christmas Day, she said, Merry Christmas, and I love you and Robert Jr.
I thought to myself,Well, go right ahead.And theyre like, Well, we want your input.
Im like, Im not talking to you.
Im not saying anything.
Eat your heart out.
I have an 84103 Zip Code.
I dont live in Park City.
Its like an hour drive for me to get from my home to Park City.
Trying to find the door was a challenge.
It was this huge building.
So Im like,Well, maybe if I look through the window.
Did it make you laugh watching it?I cracked up.
I was like,What are you doing?
What are you doing, Mary?
Just find a door and walk in it.But I think it was good TV.
And I had a little help from the producers.
They didnt really help me find the door.
Of course they didnt!
It was Bronwyn Newports first season as a Housewife.
However, in the end, she starts to weaken for me.
Me personally, I dont know why they want to be friends with Lisa so bad.
And what about the other new addition, Britani?
How do you think she did?Britanis a mess.
You know what I mean?
Was she trying to blackmail us?
You just dont know because of what weve been through in our past.
Weve been through a lot of things, and weve been betrayed by a lot of women.
As you might see, I didnt really engage that much going at her.
Meredith and them did all the yelling.
That was good enough.
So if you were to be asked back for another season, would you do it?
And would we see this Mary 2.0 come back again?Of course I would do it.
I just think that now that Bravo knowsThis is who Mary is, youll always get this Mary.
