During the season 6 reunion episode, Cosby disclosed that her son was serving time in jail following an arrest for allegedly violating a restraining order against his estranged wife, Alexiana Smokoff.

Robert was released from the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on Feb. 3, with his lawyer telling People magazine that he "expresses deep regret regarding his prior actions and acknowledges that his past behavior demonstrates poor judgment."

The outlet reported that Robert was ordered to 36 months of probation and 75 hours of community service as part of his release.

"To ensure his continued success, Robert is committed to taking responsibility, engaging in therapy and securing employment," his lawyer said. "Unfortunately, we sometimes learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Robert is on the right path and moving forward in a positive direction."

Late last year, Smokoff filed for divorce after three years of marriage. Their secret nuptials were also a storyline during season 4 of "RHOSLC."
