RHOSLC’s Mary Cosby Apologizes For Controversial ‘Mexican Thug’ Comment
Mary Cosby Is speaking out to apologize for the controversial “Mexican thug” comment she made in a recent episode of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.”
In an Instagram post shared Sunday, Cosby said: “I would like to take this opportunity to address a comment I made on the last episode of ‘RHOSLC.’ I used poor judgment in my choice of words. Please accept my apologies,” Cosby, 48, wrote in a statement.
“I was not trying to single out the Mexican culture. I am African American and I know racism first hand,” she continued, adding, “I’ve lived it daily my entire life.”
Before concluding she added, “It is important to me that you hear this apologize directly from me,” she added. “I am truly sorry!”
For those who don’t watch the show, Cosby was in the middle of talking about fellow co-star Jen Shah, calling her “heartless” following the aftermath of a previous episode. She was speaking to Lisa Barlow at the time while
comparing Sha to a “Mexican thug” who “[makes] all those drugs,” which left Barlow speechless.
