He’s out! Robert Cosby Jr., the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, has been released from jail after serving two months behind bars. The news comes after his sentencing hearing earlier this week, and although he’s no longer in jail, his legal drama is far from over.
Robert Cosby Jr. served two months behind bars
Robert was arrested on November 9, 2025, after showing up at his former in-laws’ house and violating an order of protection. He damaged one of their vehicles and some siding on the house. When the cops caught up with him, the arrest turned violent. He’s been in jail ever since.
Later that month, Robert pleaded guilty to eight charges, including assault on an officer, criminal trespassing, violation of a protective order, and felony property damage.
Robert’s sentencing hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, and according to court records reviewed by People, he was sentenced to 36 months of probation and 75 hours of community service. He was released from jail and has also been instructed to complete mental health and anger management evaluations.
While Robert was behind bars, his ex-wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce, which was settled last month. A judge issued a permanent no-contact order, so Robert really needs to stay away this time.
Robert’s lawyer, Clayton Simms, told the outlet that Robert is committed to “taking responsibility” following his release. In addition to therapy, he’s going to try to find a job. It sounds like sitting in jail for two months really sobered him up. Now, he has a new outlook on life.
His lawyer said, “Unfortunately, we sometimes learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Robert is on the right path and moving forward in a positive direction.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is streaming on Peacock.
