Mary Cosby‘s son Robert Cosby Jr. was laid to rest in a ‘private’ and ‘spirited’ funeral, Cynthia Bailey has revealed. 

A funeral was held for Robert Jr. in Utah on March 7, after he died from a suspected drug overdose in late February at age 23.

On Monday’s episode of her Humble Brag podcast, 59-year-old Bailey said, ‘I saw the love,’ after noting she didn’t want to share too many details about the funeral, which she called ‘a real private moment.’

The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) alum later added, ‘This I will talk about – their church? I need that church in Atlanta. 

‘When I tell you we went to church… that funeral… we sang and danced and clapped. I don’t think we ever sat down. It was so spirited, so amazing.’

Bailey elaborated, ‘It wasn’t filmed. There [were] no cameras anywhere, and people gave their phones. It just was a real private moment. I was really glad that I went. I was really, really glad that I went.’

Cosby, 53, is grieving the sudden loss of her only child

Bailey exited the RHOA franchise in 2021 after filming for 11 seasons. 

She is mom to one child, 26-year-old daughter Noelle Robinson, whom she shares with ex Leon Robinson.

The former model said Robert Jr’s death had an emotional impact on her as the parent of an only child.

‘What really hit me hard [was], this is her one and only,’ she explained. ‘When you just have one, it all goes into that one little human.’

And she told listeners, ‘When [Mary] said, “I would love [for] you to come,” I didn’t even think twice about it.

‘I was really, really happy that I [went to the funeral]. She really was just so happy to have us there. Her cast was so supportive. Those girls were there for her.’

TMZ previously reported that Cosby’s castmates Lisa Barlow, Bronwyn Newport, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Britani Bateman, and Angie Katsanevas showed up for the homegoing service.

Bailey reflected on Monday, ‘We do these shows, and it’s all this drama, and you have to be prepared to go up and down with these people, sideways, fall out, be cool. 

‘It’s just a different mindset when you have a relationship with women that you mostly met because of a show. But I love how it actually crosses over into a real sisterhood, too.’
