AceShowbiz - Robert Cosby Jr., the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, is facing two felony charges following a reported domestic incident. He has been charged with felony assault and felony aggravated assault.

The charges stem from an alleged fight with his ex-wife, Alexiana Smokoff, on May 18th, 2024. According to authorities, Smokoff reported that Robert Cosby Jr. assaulted her after she allegedly flushed his drugs down a toilet. She claimed he "beat her about face and head, and kicked her in the stomach."

Police noted that photos from the day showed Smokoff with injuries, including red and swollen eyes, a lump below her eyebrow, and a red mark on her neck. The report was filed while Robert Cosby Jr. was already in prison for a previous trespassing incident involving the same ex-wife, for which he served approximately two months.

He was charged upon his release. His legal situation is further complicated by this recent release, and it is currently unclear what his potential punishment may be. Robert Cosby Jr. is expected to appear in court on March 17th, 2026.

Following the news, some fans and followers expressed concern online, with comments suggesting he needs to acknowledge a need for help and continue treatment.
