16 - Mother Mary Full of Lies (RHOSLC)

In Salt Lake City, she’s called First Lady. On Bravo, she’s a Real Housewife. To Jen Shah, she's a grandpa f-er. But when a former church member mortgaged his house to give her $300,000, it stopped being just drama. This week on Reality Bombshell, we’re opening the case file on Mary Cosby, the designer-clad wildcard of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and asking the question Bravo tiptoed around: is this a church, or is it a cult? From her bizarre inheritance of the Faith Temple Pentecostal Church to her tear laden sermons, former members speaking out, and that mysterious Season 2 reunion no-show, we’re digging into what makes a leader magnetic, manipulative, or both. We also look at the history of Pentecostalism, its cultural roots, and why Mary’s version hits different. Have a case or anything else reality TV related you want to hear us cover?
