While speaking with Us Weekly, Katsanevas, 52, spoke candidly about her friendship with Cosby. For those who may not be familiar with them, the duo became an unlikely duo during Season 5 of “RHOSLC.” Their connection was shocking not only to the group, but also to the audience, given that Cosby and Katsanevas clashed during season 4.
Over the years, the two have hit bumps in the road, but somehow, they always seem to find each other. However, when the upcoming season airs, it looks like fans might be in for a surprise, as Katsanevas said they are going through another tough time.
“I think these are just very real, raw challenges that friends face,” she said. “She’s going through a lot, and I’m going through a lot.”

Now that Katsanevas and Cosby have been close friends for over two years, it seems like they’re reaching the point in their relationship where things aren’t always peaches and cream. “There’s a lot of ups and downs. I think it’s every year. It’s not all fun,” Katsanevas said of their final year together.
“The honeymoon phase ends as your bond deepens,” she continued, adding that as friends grow, they become more honest and vulnerable with each other. “You are more honest with each other and say what you really feel and think. We love each other. We love each other deeply.”
It’s unclear what exactly may have happened between Katsanevas and Cosby, but according to a previous report from The Blast, an insider claimed the two got into an explosive fight while the cameras were rolling.
The source said Katsanevas got into an argument with Bronwyn Newport and allegedly tried to drag Cosby into it, prompting the latter to respond: “‘Keep my name out of your mouth, worry about your own friends and family.'”
After that, Katsanevas allegedly said something so “shocking” to Cosby in front of the rest of the group that fans “won’t believe.”
