SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: In a heated altercation during 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 5 filming, several sources exclusively claimed that Mary Cosby called Lisa Barlow's 12-year-old son Henry the R-word.

Cosby allegedly made the remark earlier in April after getting into a "crazy fight" with Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, and Angie Katsanevas, among other cast members, per Page Six.

An insider has stated that the offensive comment was uttered during a "crazy fight" between the women. The insider further notes that Cosby's involvement in the exchange upset Barlow's co-stars as well.

The source stated that Barlow was "very upset" by what Cosby said and that "the entire cast … was beyond grossed out."

According to a different source, the Vida Tequila entrepreneur, 49—who is married to John Barlow and has an older son, Jack, 19—was "very upset" with Cosby, 51, over the claimed slight against her youngest child Henry, 12.

However, a third source informed that Barlow and Cosby have moved past their dispute, citing the fact that the two women are currently filming in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, for a cast trip.

The insider said, "They made amends over the situation and are moving on." It's not known what allegedly provoked Cosby to abuse Barlow's youngest child verbally, or whether the incident will be broadcast when 'RHOSLC' comes back to Bravo.

Mary Cosby has a history of making lewd remarks on camera

Cosby has faced criticism previously for making hurtful comments on 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City'. In Season 2, she referred to her former coworker Jen Shah as a "Mexican thug," although Shah is both Tongan and Hawaiian.

In an Instagram Story post, Cosby expressed her regret to Shah, 50, who was later kicked off the show following her arrest for wire fraud and money laundering.

"I would like to take this opportunity to address a comment I made on the last episode of ‘RHOSLC'. I used poor judgment in my choice of words. Please accept my apologies," Cosby said at the time.

"I was not trying to single out the Mexican culture. I am African American and I know racism first hand,” she continued while adding her words were “reckless."

A month later, Cosby made yet another racist comment, stating that she admired Season 2 cast member Jennie Nguyen's, "slanted eyes."

Nguyen, a person of Vietnamese descent, confessed, "What the hell? Did Mary just say she likes my slanted eyes? Does she not know it’s inappropriate?"

Instead of offering an apology, Cosby emphasized how much she "loved" Nguyen's eyes and insisted that her remark "didn’t mean any harm" and was merely a "compliment."

Along with her dubious claims, the controversial preacher—who is famously married to her stepgrandfather, Robert Cosby Sr—has also come under fire for allegedly managing her Faith Temple Pentecostal Church like a "cult."
