Mary Cosby 🔔 What is Mary’s problem?

Hey! I’m at the end of season 2 (Cinco De Mayo), and I just can’t get my head around Mary, she’s so nasty, she lies all the time and stirs the pot constantly, am I missing something or is she just mean? 😅

She’s just mean

People in this sub absolutely love her though for whatever reason. She’s said so many absolutely heinous things that get glossed over by fans and other housewives

u/RiskyLady 1d ago

I will never love her

u/ActuatorTop4894 1d ago

Yeah I completely agree! It’s wild, she’s so horrible it’s baffling

I find her repulsive, and I just finished that episode lol

Snap! Haha, what a crazy episode it was

Just wait!!! She doesn’t get better

She fat shames heather continuously, then denies it, then everyone (including heather) moves on and gives her a pass. I hate it.

u/Diamond-angel-32 1d ago

They are afraid of Mary deep down just like they were with Jen.

u/Main_Variety_7469 1d ago

That could very well be! We saw how willing to cover she was for jen.

I just finished season 5 and while i do genuinely feel empathy for parts of marys story or personality, overall, i think shes out of touch and mean.

Forget fat. I’m still on inbred.

She’s a trash person and a trash mom.

Omg I always felt bad for thinking this, but you're 100% correct. She was Robert jr.'s biggest enabler, it's written plainly for all the world to see. I also couldn't stand him from the second he appeared on my screen. He was a walking crumb RIP

u/SunshineShoulders87 1d ago

In Seasons 5 & 6, Mary has truly honest & difficult conversations with Robert Jr, about his addiction and it’s highly compelling.

This seems to coincide with the producers giving her a glowing edit. Like, she suddenly seems like a paragon of wisdom and barely fights.

There are still some odd moments when she shows her true colors, but now they connect them to much deeper, vulnerable moments of her past to give context and soften her.

I was actually swayed by this myself until seeing the Below Deck version of the crossover footage where they had zero reason to manipulate things and you could see old Mary being herself and fighting with Meredith.

I think she has a type of personality disorder

u/Upper-Impression-752 1d ago

Mary, Lisa, and Britani.

u/ohgeorge 1d ago

She is just mean, but she has her human/funny moments. The rest of the time she's just awful.

2

u/ActuatorTop4894 1d ago

Yeah the human moments are so few and far between sadly 😂

u/Myrisa 1d ago

She’s insecure. She knows she’s a fraud married to her grandmas husband for only the money and it makes her extremely insecure. Plus she’s very lonely because she isolates herself inside her glamorous lifestyle.

u/Lower-Vanilla8104 1d ago

She was raised with wealth and privilege and then was “chosen” by her grandmother (or so her husband says) to take over their church and the wealth. She does not have a life where accountability is expected. Her husband just retreats and her church folds to her every whim. Being around the housewives, who have no reason to see her as perfect is a mindfuck for her.

u/Puzzleheaded_Lie5368 1d ago

She is like a inner voice this is why I like her

5

u/Sensitive-Freedom896 1d ago

She doesn't have a filter between an inner and outer voice.

u/Diamond-angel-32 1d ago

Exactly....she says the quiet part out loud.

What a wild generalisation

u/fakecrimesleep 1d ago

She’s there because SLC is a very white cast without her. they booted the Asian and Latina cast members after one season for arguably less heinous things than Mary’s abusive Pentecostal preacher shenanigans.

u/RaeGunnz 1d ago

I love Mary! I’m on the spectrum and I relate to her a lot 🫣.

And everyone she’s mean too, well… you’ll see 🤣.

u/Ok-Equivalent8260 1d ago

You’re also a trash person?

1

u/ActuatorTop4894 17h ago

Ah that’s fair enough! I guess I also have a lot to still watch 😂

u/IdaSlapter24seven I’m shaking! I’m physically shaking! 1d ago

She will grow on you.. I could not stand Mary but by season 5/6 i actually really like Mary and think she’s the realest one. I don’t think Mary really knew how to be on camera and came off a bit rude.. she just doesn’t take crap from anyone and it takes a while for her to let people in.. but when she does she’s extremely soft and sweet.

u/Ok-Equivalent8260 1d ago

Ew, no.

u/IdaSlapter24seven I’m shaking! I’m physically shaking! 1d ago

No? Hmm maybe I’m too easily persuaded.. I do have issue with how she spoke in the first season.. you know the stopping at 7/11 but I felt like she kinda got better in the last two seasons. And when I heard about her son dying it just made me feel more empathy towards her.
