Cynthia Bailey Recalls Emotional Phone Call w/ Mary Cosby After Son Robert Jr.’s D*ath: ‘She’s Pushing Through’

In the wake of heartbreaking loss, Cynthia Bailey is opening up about the emotional phone call she shared with Mary Cosby after the d*ath of her son, Robert Cosby Jr.

During a recent episode of her “Humble Brag” podcast, the 59-year-old “Real Housewives of Atlanta” OG reflected on reaching out to the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star following Robert Jr.’s passing on February 23 at age 23.

“I was really paralyzed by this news when I got it,” Cynthia said. “I didn’t really know what to do, what to say. I knew that I couldn’t text. I just felt like I had to pick up the phone and call [Mary], and I did, and to my surprise, she picked right up. Then I was really surprised, because I didn’t expect her to pick up.”

Recalling their exchange, Cynthia shared, “First I was like, ‘You didn’t have to pick up. I just wanted to call. I didn’t feel like a text was the right thing to do, and I just wanted to call you and say I love you and I’m here for you and I’m so sorry for you and your family.’ ”

She revealed Mary repeatedly responded, “It’s okay. It’s okay,” adding, “She’s pushing through… So continue to love on Mary.”

Cynthia also praised Robert Jr.’s honesty about addiction, calling it “so powerful and so honest,” and applauding Mary for being “so brave to show [that].”

Continued prayers to Mary and her family.
