She describes the police run-in as a needed jolt in his sobriety effort.

Overview

  • Mary Cosby tells People she believes the arrest was for his good and says Alexiana moved out of the Cosby home as the couple now lives apart.
  • She claims parents ensured a trespassing arrest after Robert Jr. and Alexiana snuck out to meet, framing the episode as part of a broader family intervention.
