The Cult of the Real Housewife

The Cult of the Real Housewife traces the dramatic rise of Faith Temple from its founding by the beloved Rosemary ‘Mama' Cosby, grandmother of Mary Crosby, to her passing, the controversial transfer of leadership, and her husband's marriage to Mary. This hotly contested bequeathment pushed Faith Temple into a controversial, new era. In addition to exploring the church and the allegations against it, the docuseries will elevate the voices of ex-congregants speaking out for the first time, including long-standing pillars of Faith Temple, the Enoch family, and provide deeply personal and disturbing accounts from family members such as Mary's sister, Denise Jefferson Odinaka, and Mary's cousin, Dan Cosby, along with his wife, Kim. The docuseries also features investigative journalists and bloggers who have been tracking this story from the beginning, as well as a leading cult expert who can offer insight around a playbook designed to enforce loyalty in mind-control cults.
