roaming_kate23The Housewives world is getting interesting.Specifically Mary Cosby from Salt Lake.Apparently because of all the drama she has created this season she refused to show up to the reunion show which pretty much means that she is gonna get fired.Not sure when this became a rule..it’s not always a hard and fast rule but most of the people who do are never heard from again.Not sure who made that rule, either.Andy Cohen?But I guess he did that before he(allegedly) got demoted.
(Don’t even get me started on everyone giving him a pass for how he acted when he and Anderson Cooper did their New Year’s Eve show.I could have done that but I didn’t and the moment is past.And anyways, we’re talking about the Ho’wives, not the “head honcho” as it were.)
The reason that Mary didn’t show up is because she knew that she was going to get called out for being a racist (she has called people “Mexican Thugs”(yes, really,)and said that she liked a fellow cast member’s slanted eyes(said cast member is Vietnamese).More than once.And she thinks it is OK in BOTH cases.
Pretty bad.And I am not condoning the other drama that has been going on this season(Jen Shah specifically.) But Mary, in so many ways, is MUCH worse. She has people complaining that the church that she runs(with her husband/step grandfather(yes,really) is telling people to give the church all of their money.She calls out people who don’t give the church enough money.In church. Like, no wonder the church members are leaving in droves and speaking out.I would too. It’s a weird sort of culture in Utah because so many things are connected to churches(Mormons specifically but they’re not the only church ..there’s a sort of Bible Belt thing going there because they founded Utah so what they says goes..though it must be said when they had the Olympics there years ago they did have to adjust things somewhat.)
Her friends are OK with her saying such things-multiple times. Again it is the Utah culture.Up until about 40 plus years ago the Mormon church made it very difficult for African Americans to be members of their church. So the Mormons on the show have grown up being..more enlightened, but *not* if that makes sense? Makes me wonder what sort of things Mary grew up being taught.
