Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby just dropped a bomb bigger than Lisa Barlow’s Diet Coke stash: Rihanna is officially a Housewives superfan. And not just any fan — she’s sliding into DMs like it’s her side hustle.
Mary, 52, reflected on a heartfelt moment from the show where her son, Robert Jr., opened up about his struggles with addiction. Cue the tears, the heartfelt messages, and, apparently, a Rihanna cameo — minus the Fenty makeup.
“All of my castmates reached out after the episode aired,” Mary shared in an interview with Vulture. “Well, except Lisa Barlow. But, honestly, I didn’t expect her to because, let’s be real, she’s the type to cheer when you step on a Lego.”
Mary didn’t stop there, though. “Even other Housewives reached out. But the real jaw-dropper? Rihanna. Yes, THE Rihanna. As in, ‘Shut Up and Drive’ Rihanna. She slid into my messages, and I had to make sure it wasn’t a prank or some random stan pretending to be her. But nope, it was Rihanna, in all her bad-gal glory!”
According to Mary, Rihanna’s love didn’t stop at one message. “She reached out when the show aired and told us she loved us. And then, on Christmas Day, she casually dropped a ‘Merry Christmas, I love you and Robert Jr.’”
Now, take a second to picture this: it’s Christmas morning. The turkey’s in the oven, presents are under the tree, and you get a text from Rihanna saying, “Merry Christmas.” Does Mary win at life, or does Mary win at life?
“She’s proof that when you’re genuine, people feel it,” Mary gushed. “And, hey, if you’re touching the heart of a literal global icon, you’ve got to be doing something right.”
Rihanna loves RHOSLC, Lisa Barlow is not the supportive friend you invite to cry over rom-coms, and Mary Cosby’s DMs are officially blessed. Let’s all take a moment to process this level of iconic.
