The news about Mary Cosby not showing up for the RHOSLC reunion has been all over the Internet the past few days and many have been wondering why I have not been reporting on it. I’m not trying to be first. I’m trying to get all the tea. As my longtime followers know, I often do not just repeat what other sites report when I have a source close to the situation. I knew it was a fact that she did not attend, but I wanted to pump my source for how exactly it all went down and why. As much as I wish my exclusive source was on speed dial 24/7 and at my beck and call, that is not the case. I send a polite email and wait until they have a chance to answer.
Mary Cosby’s No Show Is Nothing Like Erika Jayne Showing Up
Today, I have answers. But before we get to that, there is something else that has been bothering me about this situation. A common theme on the Internet is that if Erika Jayne could show up for the reunion, why couldn’t Mary Cosby? Once more with feeling. I am the only site on the Internet that knows how much Erika Girardi got paid to appear last season. It was $68,000 an episode. That was not a pay increase. It was her regular season increase. Next season she will make a five percent increase (as they all do) bumping her to $71,400. So, there was no way she was going to leave $272,000 on the table and lose her job by skipping the reunion. In fact she made sure to give enough for four episodes.
What Do The RHOSLC Make Per Episode?
On the other hand, Mary Cosby was making just $6,000 and episode. So it was not worth it for her to be exposed as a racist and a cult leader and have to defend those defenseless allegations on national TV. She left less than $20K on the table to avoid public humiliation. I don’t blame her for that decision. Here is a direct quote from my source,
“She did not show and her attorney told Shed Media that she wants to receive her final paychecks ASAP, seemingly signaling the end to her participation on the series. People at both the network and production company (level) believe she is upset about a bad edit. So they are going to wire her $6,000 per episode to her and leave her be. Quote from exec: “Bye, Mary!”
Shocking Salary News!
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
TT brings da Tea…with accuracy! This is why I love your site and you TT. Thanks for the salary clarification too, that raises eyebrows.
I have mixed thoughts on the “bad edit” excuse reality stars use. You must’ve said done some of those things. But then again innocent statements could be strung together to make you look bad. That being said, “slanted eyes” and Mexican thugs is not a bad edit…that’s a bad decision!
Exactly. What Mary said was all on camera in one full scene. Nothing was cut, audio added or video covered.
Great info! What a wild ride Mary was. She had the potential to be a superstar housewife, but there is no denying that her storyline took some dark turns and probably would’ve gone even darker if she stayed on the show.
And the damn AFFAIR with Cameron! Mary brought the Tiger King vibes to Bravo. Just when you think things can’t get any crazier. Going out with a bang lol.
Affair with Cameron? I’ve missed that…. details please!! I wonder if there is any truth to it…
One of her cousins did a long interview about a week ago. He goes into pretty extreme detail about it, and there is a picture floating around of him licking her face.
For real, who would’ve thought this much action would come out of Utah😳
I for one had the popcorn ready to see Mary go down. Mary needs to be exposed for the cult leader that she is. What I don’t understand is why Bravo hasn’t closed the loophole in their contract that allows them to be a no-show. There should be a financial penalty or forfeit of monies owed.
I’m not surprised that these women will work for bird seeds because if you have a product or business to promote the exposure can be priceless. And for the one’s who don’t, they hope to pull a “Bethenny” and cash-in.
i don’t think anyone can pull a bethany now. bravo put into the contracts that bravo gets a cut of whatever business endeavors they start on the show. it’s called the bethany clause.
Mary is not as stupid as she plays on TV.
Her math calculations are better than Jen Shah’s.
Stay on show, risk losing millions vs. leave show and stay on the money train I’ve been on for years?
Easy decision
Mary is functionally illiterate and dropped out of high school in the tenth grade. Something I learned tonight.
That doesn’t surprise me, her lack of education. But she is probably listening to her church people who have no doubt noticed a drop in tithes since this show aired. Or her husband put his old foot down. She needs to be in her prayer closet as we speak hoping this doesn’t destroy her holy money train.
No wonder she married step-Grandpa. He probably did the math for her and told to leave the show.
I have to revisit the timing of their marriage.. I wonder if he groomed her when she was a teenager.
He went from being married to a woman about 20 years his senior to marrying a woman about 20 years his junior– his wife’s granddaughter. There is definitely smoke there..
She makes Nene look like a Neuroscientist.
Shocked but not shocked. Mary should have been fired in my opinion for her blatant racist remarks. Perhaps she was and this narrative of not showing up is her spin to save face and not have to discuss running a cult?
thats really good news u get
wow
THANK U
I am sad to see Mary go she was funny and weird, the cast all play their part, except Jenny, they all contribute to the show. again except Jenny.
Yes the SLC cast gets nothing, but FREE PUBLICITY!! worth millions every year
so it all works out in the end for your business
U really go on the show just to promote your business
If you are sad to see Mary go, you have issues.
I AM SAD to see her go. I was looking forward to another Felony By Bravo arrest on camera!
Yes! I was totally down for that. Like I said, I had my popcorn ready. I went all out and got sour cream and chive popcorn flavouring!!
I honestly wanted to see he get better wigs.
Facts. Plus it’s always the second season when they bump up their fashion.
Ya, Mary’s raggaty wig needs to be retired.
Better wigs! LOFL!
ROFLMAO!!! 🤣
Hell, I would get drunk and be catty with women for $100k a year. LOL
Half a year at that. Rest of the time you can be civilized🤪
This show will be on life support without Jen and Mary. None of the other women have an ounce of interest compared to those two. Not a one…combined.
Agree. Look at what happened to Dallas without the mess that LeAnne was.
Thanks for the tea! I had no idea that SLC wives only earn $2k per episode. Here I was thinking that if Whitney blew $300k to re-brand that she’d make it up in one season and a bit. I’m glad Mary’s gone. She added nothing to the show but confusion filled drama, usually out of nowhere. I hope Jenny is next to go.
I am surprised that Meredith is getting the raise instead of Lisa. Maybe they know Meredith would be more willing to walk away? I feel like Lisa deserves the bump to 9 -10K because she is more or less productions puppet. That doesn’t mind stirring up all the drama and having her hands look dirty.
I liked Mary. She was quirky and unaware in a funny way. Mary was the comedic relief oddball on the show. Although she did run away from some conflicts, I did enjoy her on the show.
Just gloss on over all her blatant racism bc it does impact you…smh
I love that you are genuine, that you choose the road of fact vs possible fiction just to be fast with news.
Hmmm is someone from these franchises finally listening to a lawyer and realizing it’s not worth it🤔
I have to admit I was here for Meredith this season but it is interesting that production is hedging their bets on her. Curious to see what pans out for her as one of the spotlighted housewives. As for Jen that is a no brainer. Keep her on as long as the trial happens.
I will miss Mary on the show. She was sloppy but she was truly a unique character. I can’t say any other show ever had anyone quit like Mary before.
Kempire totally gave you a shout out for this entire article!
no shade Tamara but most of us knew Mary Crosby would get the “her last act as a housewife by not showing up at the reunion” shade by Andy.
Erika Jayne showed ip at reunion.
No shade, Renee, but I’m pretty sure you didn’t read the post.
As it has been said “good riddance to bad rubbage”.
I do wonder if that YouTube interview waited to be shared, if she’d have shown up.
I hope she is still discussed even without her there.
Can’t understand some of the comments about Mary like she is, a “unique character” . Ferris Bueller is a unique character. Mary is Biff Tannen.
She is “funny and weird”. Sheldon Cooper is funny and weird. Mary is just weird.
Mary is not as stupid as she is on TV? We are only seeing snippets of her life. She is WAY more stupid than what they air.
Since Jen Shah was kind enough to get the Feds to pay attention to this show, I have got to believe that if they weren’t looking at Mary and her whack-a-doodle lifestyle before, they are now!
Holy crap! I watched the podcast about Mary last night. I found her cousin Dan very credible. Mary & her husband are even worse than I thought, which I didn’t think was possible. Thanks for sharing the link, Tamara.
