The young man had openly discussed his struggles with addiction and mental health on previous seasons of the Bravo series, sharing emotional moments with his mother that resonated deeply with viewers.

Filming for Season 7 was originally slated to begin the week of February 23 but was immediately halted out of respect for Cosby’s family.

Bravo is giving Cosby the time and space needed, and she may return later in the season. Insiders have noted that Cosby views returning to work as a potential source of structure amid her grief, though no firm timeline has been confirmed.

The cast, including returning members like Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Angie Katsanevas, and Bronwyn Newport, has reportedly gathered for scenes, including an emotional moment reflecting on Robert Jr.’s passing.

Bravo has not issued an official statement on Cosby’s status or the season’s storyline, but the tragedy is expected to influence the upcoming episodes given its impact on her life and previous on-screen discussions.

Our thoughts remain with Mary Cosby and her family during this difficult time. Season 7 details, including premiere date, are yet to be announced.
