RHOSLC OG Mary Cosby and her husband, Robert Cosby, are taking legal action against the financial executives of their Pentecostal church.
Mary Cosby, her husband, Robert Cosby, and their Faith Temple Pentecostal Church are suing two executives of their church’s financial sector.
The RHOSLC star and her cohorts accuse two executives from their church of embezzling millions of dollars from the church and company for years.
Mary and Robert and their Faith Temple Pentecostal Church filed a lawsuit against United Security Financial Inc. on Wednesday in the 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City.
United Security Financial Inc. is a for-profit business owned by the church and its two officers, Annie L. Johnson and Shawn Turner. The RHOSLC couple and Faith Temple are seeking damages totaling nearly $6.3 million.
In their complaint, filed on Wednesday, the Cosbys and Faith Temple accuse United Security Financial Inc.’s president, Annie L. Johnson, and Shawn Turner, the company’s secretary, of “intimidating USF employees, forging Robert Cosby’s signature and using church funds for personal use.”
Johnson is also accused of “commingling” funds and using a Faith Temple account to secure a $173,000 mortgage on a property in Indiana. Johnson’s husband sold the property to his cousin. According to the complaint, the mortgage was never repaid to Faith Temple. The loan’s total payoff, with interest, amounted to $421,912.40.
Mary’s church closed its doors out of nowhere in early 2022.
