"People that are at that church are God-fearing people, they're beautiful people, but Mary, her husband [Robert Cosby Sr.], like they've done some things that have been very harmful," he said on RHOSLC. "I just hope for healing for everyone. I truly do."
Meredith shared that it was disappointing for her to hear that, because she had become very friendly with Mary.
"Mary and I were extremely close at one point. Just be careful," he advised to Meredith.
When Meredith asked Cameron to elaborate on what was "harmful," he chose not to speak further on the matter.
According to teasers for Season 2, the goings-on at Mary's church will be a continuing storyline. Cameron's discussion with Meredith was just the beginning. Unfortunately, in June 2021, just a few months after he attended the Fresh Wolf event for RHOSLC, Cameron Williams passed away.
