‘RHOSLC’ Star Mary Cosby’s Son ARRESTED on Assault & Trespassing Charges
“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby Jr., was arrested for criminal trespassing, assault, failure to stop at the command of law enforcement and three counts of violating a court order.
The arrest took place just outside of Salt Lake City on Saturday after local police responded to a domestic violence report, according to TMZ.
Police claim Robert Jr. attempted to break into his father-in-law’s home through a dog door on the property. He also allegedly assaulted someone on the front lawn.
After police arrived on the scene, the responding officer ordered Robert Jr. to get on the ground — which he initially failed to comply with. He later followed the officer’s order and was taken into custody.
Robert Jr. was taken in by police on charges of criminal trespassing, assault, failure to stop at the command of law enforcement and three counts of violating a court order.
Reps for Cosby, Bravo and the Salt Lake City Police Department did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
This is Robert Jr.’s latest run-in with police following his 2022 DUI arrest, according to the outlet.
In the 2022 arrest, police claimed the reality star was operating a vehicle without a license and disobeyed traffic laws. Though, the other charges were dropped after he plead guilty to the DUI charge.
The 21-year-old later found himself in trouble with the law again after he reportedly failed to prove he finished a court-ordered rehab stay.
The 21-year-old previously admitted he started taking drugs at 16 during a tearful episode of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” in November 2024. Bravo

Robert Jr. previously discussed his issues with drug and alcohol addiction in an emotional episode of the Bravo reality series, which aired in November 2024.
In the episode, he confessed that he started taking drugs when he “just turned 16.”
“At first, I was like, I’m just gonna stick to natural stuff. And then, I went to a party, and someone gave me a Xanax. And then I was like, ‘Oh, I like this,’ so I started buying it,” he recalled.
“Then I started doing Xanax with acid and then molly with Xanax, because I like Xanax, so i mixed it with everything –– Xanax and cocaine.”
He went on to share that he reached a “turning point” when he “was taking 10 [30 milligram OxyContin pills] at once, and I couldn’t even feel it. I couldn’t feel it at all.”
Robert Jr. went to rehab for his addiction issues, and according to his mom, had become a “new person” thanks to his treatment.
“Rob is doing so good,” she said while tearfully offering the update on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” in December 2024. “I am so proud of him, so proud of him.”
Bold & Beautiful’s Ashley Jones Tells a Real-Life American Horror Story That ‘Sent Chills Down My Spine’
The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Ashley Jones is no stranger to bringing complex women to life on screen. Now, she’s executive producing and starring in one of Lifetime’s latest “Ripped From the Headlines” series,
The true-crime story tells the tale of serial killer William Bradford from the perspective of a 15-year-old teen who was lucky enough to get away. He was a photographer and she was an aspiring model with Hollywood dreams. It’s a 1984 Los Angeles story that’s very familiar to Southern California residents because there was a renewed interest in the case in 2006. The LAPD released a series of headshots taken from the photos in Bradford’s apartment in hopes of identifying more victims.
“I remember driving down Sunset Boulevard, seeing the billboard saying, ‘Have you seen these women? Have you seen me?’ And it was all of these pictures,” Jones shares about the revisited true-crime tale that gripped the city almost 20 years ago. “It was in the newspaper. It was all over LA. And it freaked me out.”
Jones even remembers how vulnerable teens and young women were in the 1980s and 1990s when it came to talent calls for casting. “I saw those ads for the photo calls, where you could become a model. They had them in Venice Beach and Century City Mall,” she recalls. “They had them all over the place, and that was a breeding ground for serial killers, more than one. We’re telling the story of William Bradford in 1984. We’re just scratching the surface of one period of time that he did what he did.”
Bradford’s crimes were extremely dark, but Jones’ Lifetime movie focuses more on Thompson’s family and how their involvement in her modeling career helped save her from becoming one of the killer’s victims. She describes the film as a true “father-daughter story” with the suspense of a “thriller.”

There’s even a real-life daytime connection to the Bradford tale — and it’s pretty shocking! All My Children‘s Eva LaRue and her sister, Nika, “had a very close call with William Bradford,” and Nika wound up on the poster released by the LAPD. Their case was eventually used in an episode of
Jones researched the LaRue sisters’ encounter while she was in preproduction for the Lifetime film, and she says, “[It] sent chills down my spine.” Jones adds, “Then I went and watched the episode, and it’s a slightly different version of what happened because it’s [Nika’s] story.” Now, Jones is sharing another perspective of Bradford with
Jones predicts, “I feel like Ryan Murphy, once he sees this, he’s going to jump right on.”
The Girl Who Survived: The Alina Thompson Story premieres Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8/7c on Lifetime and streams the next day.
