) — “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Mary Cosby has filed a lawsuit against two executives for her *******’s for-profit financial business arm, accusing the two of embezzling millions of dollars.

Cosby, who is the ****** Temple Pentecostal *******’s vice president, and her husband Robert Cosby, the *******’s president, filed the lawsuit on Wednesday. They are seeking nearly $6.3 million from Annie Johnson, Shawn Turner, and the business firm, ******* Security Financial.

According to the lawsuit, Johnson is a former member of ****** Temple and served as the President of USF while Turner is listed as the Secretary of USF.

The lawsuit alleges Johnson and Turner misappropriated ******* funds for personal use by securing loans against ****** Temple property, including a loan where Robert Cosby’s signature was reportedly forged.

The two are also accused of wrongfully dismantling and selling an AM radio station. The radio station, which was purchased in 1991, according to the lawsuit, was reportedly paid for with ******* funds. Johnson allegedly put her name on the title of the property instead ****** Temple or USF.

The radio station remained in operation, broadcasting for ****** Temple’s religious purposes before Johnson allegedly began dismantling operations in 2017.

“Other members and leaders in the ******* were unaware as to Johnson’s purpose in doing so, but trusted Johnson to act in the interests of ****** Temple and USF,” the lawsuit reads. “The radio station went off the air on April 30, 2017.”

After the station went off-air, Johnson allegedly demolished the radio tower and sold the property to her son, who then sold the property to a third party for $4.3 million.

The lawsuit further alleges Johnson funneled ****** Temple tithes and offerings into her own personal accounts. She would also intimidate USF employees with “intimidation, threats, verbal ******, ******* degradation, and physical ******” to cash USF checks and give her the money directly, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims Johnson and Turner “aided and abetted” each other in the misuse of USF funds.
