Mary Cosby is an enigmatic star on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and she's set to face accusations of running a cult in season 2. Mary's always been a mystery to the fans and to her co-stars, as she's constantly combatting rumors or defending problematic comments Mary's made on RHOSLC like telling Jen she "smells like hospital." In the highly anticipated Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 2, Mary will have to respond to the fan claims that she's a cult leader, so here's everything there is to know about the source of this bizarre allegation.

Originally, Mary Cosby was introduced to RHOSLC as the First Lady of the Faith Temple Pentecostal Church in Salt Lake City. Mary got this title through a complicated and unorthodox process. After her grandmother passed away, the Salt Lake City star married her step-grandfather, Robert Cosby Sr. While Mary claims that this was something that her grandma would've wanted, her unconventional marriage continues to attract criticism from her fellow co-stars, as well as from the fans. Following Mary and Robert's marriage, the couple garnered all of her late grandmother's assets, the most prized of which is the Faith Temple Pentecostal Church. Mary Cosby acts as a pastor of the church, but her relationship with God doesn't appear to be a typical one.

A leaked video exposed Mary Cosby scolding her congregation for not donating enough money. Mary and Robert own five properties and living a luxurious lifestyle, prompting fans to question Mary's relationship with her church. Recently, Mary has had to denounce rumors that she is a cult leader. According to Distractify, anonymous congregants spoke out on Instagram and claimed, "They would not be allowed to travel... If they did, they would be shamed or kicked out of the church." Mary would call these claims ridiculous, but People's exclusive trailer for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 2 showed that the pastor has not evaded the cult rumor. In the trailer, returning housewife Whitney Rose says, "All the rumors are that Mary is a cult leader."

Meanwhile, tequila brand owner Lisa Barlow sat down with a man accusing Mary of running a cult in the preview for RHOSLC season 2. He alleged, "Is it a cult? Yes. Does she call herself God? Yes." Mary has continued to refute these claims, however. In the trailer, Mary is full of emotion when she proclaims, "I'm not God, I worship the God in me." Even though no definite conclusion about Mary's potential role as a cult leader has been reached, it appears as though Lisa will take it upon herself to get to figure out the truth on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 2. For now, it's Mary's word against the anonymous congregants who have made allegations about the divisive housewife.

From marrying her step-grandfather to calling her congregation "poor," Mary's life has always jarred RHOSLC fans. The new claims that criticize Mary's spiritual leadership and label her a cult leader take the housewife's bizarre behaviors to a whole new level. Hopefully, the cast will get to the bottom of Mary's cult leader allegations on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 2.
