In this week’s episode, Cosby and Robert Jr. had an emotional conversation after the reality TV star suspected something was going on with her son.

During the rare moment for the Housewives franchise, cameras rolled as Robert Jr. confessed to abusing a variety of substances.

“Robert was like, the perfect child,” she said in her confessional. “He was very good in school. He got straight A’s all the way up until he graduated. When he set his mind to do something, he did it. He was like our prize, very smart, very advanced. That’s the Robert I know, and that’s the Robert I’m trying to reach.”

Robert Jr. went on to share that he was on Xanax and Adderall during their conversation. Cosby grew teary-eyed, asking if Robert Jr. thought he had a problem. “Are you unhappy?” she asked.

“Sometimes, I feel like, I don’t know, just life is like this chicken without seasoning,” he explained. “But when I get high, it’s like seasoning.”

The 21-year-old went on to share that he first took Xanax at 16 and since then has tried a variety of other hard drugs. He also shared that he “wanted to die at the time.”

“You have to know I love you more than anything,” Cosby said through tears. “More than anything in this world. I think I love you more than Dad, like, don’t ever tell Dad I said that, but you’re my friend, you’re my son, you’re my gift. God gave you to me. You’re the only thing that ever made me happy. Before I had you, I was never happy. You came and you were so real. It was everything I hoped for in a person.”

Wiping away his tears, Robert Jr. said, “I just barely started being happy again.”
