Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby gave an emotional interview on her son's battle with drug addiction on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday.
Last month Cosby, 52, confronted son Robert Jr. in his room where she learned he'd been doing drugs since he was 16 in harrowing show scenes.
He opened up about the litany of drugs he's been doing throughout the years before making a stunning admission: revealing his mother was the only reason he didn't kill himself.
She told host Andy Cohen: 'Rob is doing so good. I am so proud of him, so proud of him' while revealing he stayed at a treatment for one month and completed his program.
She added: 'He did an excellent job. He came out a new person.'
Fans flocked to social media to praise Mary and Robert Jr. for opening up in such a raw way, some claiming it was one of the most 'real' moments in Real Housewives history.

On the heartbreaking moment a tearful Cosby said: 'It wasn’t planned. We just came together, Robert and I, and I said, "We’re going to do this because we’re going to help someone.”
'I just said what I felt.'
She added that Robert's wife was also currently in rehab.
The dramatic episode saw Mary admit in confession that Robert Jr. was a 'perfect child' and 'very smart' but along the way something had changed.
Robert Jr. admitted to taking a Xanax and then an 'Adderall to balance out the Xanax,' as she asked if he was unhappy.
'Sometimes I feel like, life is like chicken unseasoned, but when I get high it's like adding seasoning to it,' Robert Jr. said, before admitting he started taking drugs when he turned 16.
He then admitted to taking acid and molly and cocaine, adding a 'turning point' for him was taking 10 Oxy pills at once and he couldn't even feel it.
A tearful Mary admitted, 'I won't judge you,' though she insisted that she would not support it and she wants to help him if he wants help.

He wouldn't even admit that he was having a problem with drugs, as Mary said in confession that she was disappointed in herself.
She said he will die if he keeps on this path and he admitted, 'I wanted to die at the time,' and that he felt like 'a stain,' and that, 'this world wasn't for me,' before making a heartbreaking admission.
A tearful Mary said, 'If something ever happened to you, do you understand what would happen to me?' Robert Jr. responded, 'You're the only reason I didn't kill myself.'
Robert Jr. tearfully admitted, 'I just barely started being happy again,' as she told her son, 'Please, baby, recognize it, own it, and change it. Because you can,' as they embraced as the episode came to an end.
Fans were blown away by the touching scene, including X user @GossipInformer, who said, 'Now, this is REALITY! So many are going through this and don't seek help. Especially young black men. I'm sure he is helping so many people tonight. I love how Mary takes accountability for her part. I hope she stays the course and keeps him on the right path. Be hands on.'
@lil_guer said, 'Thank you to Mary and Robert jr for being so vulnerable and sharing this with the world. So many people will relate and know they’re not alone.'
