Lisa Barlow Says Cast Rallied Around Mary Cosby After Son’s Death

Barlow’s July interview describes a close cast response that she says changed production and gave season seven a more somber tone.

Overview

  • Robert Cosby Jr., who had a years-long addiction struggle that Mary Cosby discussed on the show, died in February and his death came the night before filming for season seven began.
  • In interviews this month Barlow said she supported Mary at Robert Jr.’s memorial and called the experience "the hardest thing to experience," saying the service was "probably the most beautiful experience."
  • Barlow described the shared grieving as a bonding moment for the cast and credited Mary Cosby’s faith with helping her cope during filming.
  • Producers and cast adjusted to the emotional fallout during early production, and Barlow warned viewers that season seven’s tone will reflect the loss.
  • Bravo has not released a full season seven cast list while franchise promotion continues for other projects, with Barlow and Cosby reported as confirmed snowflake holders and Ultimate Girls Trip promotion ongoing.
