On March 30, a new police report out of Salt Lake City shines a light on an alleged domestic violence incident involving Robert Jr. son of Riyal. Housewives star Mary Cosby. Back in May 2024, his then-wife Alexiana Smokov claimed he grabbed her by the throat and strangled her during a fight at Mary's house. She also said he spit on her, though she blacked out and couldn't recall every detail. Riyana didn't file the report until November 2025, even though Robert was already in jail at the time of the supposed attack. Court docs back up her story about the location, but no one else saw the physical part go down. Mary got interviewed by cops on January 9, 2026. She admitted overhearing arguments between her son and Alexiana, but never spotted any physical stuff or injuries, except one while time they jumped off. A balcony while high. Mary insisted Robert wasn't raised to be violent. After the incident, Alexiana pushed for divorce, which wrapped up while Robert sat behind bars.
By the time he passed away on February 23, 2026, at just 23 years old, he was facing two domestic violence charges tied. To this, this report adds layers to Robert's short life, reminding us how these family tensions play out behind the scenes. Stay tuned as more details might drop. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture coverage.
