Marlo Hampton Says RHOA “Got Dark”, Wants to Return as a “Friend”

Marlo Hampton is waxing candid about her time as a full-time peach-holder on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

After eight years as a “Friend” of the show, season 14 saw the outspoken polarizer promoted to the main cast.

At the time, Hampton basked in the “finally” factor of it all.

However, in an interesting sea change following the cast shake-up that led to her exit, she’s singing a different tune.

Full story below…

Speaking on her latter spell on RHOA, Hampton told the Across Gen Podcast, the 48-year-old said:

“After 8 years, I finally got my peach. The world was happy. To fans of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ that was a big deal. To be honest with you, I was not happy about it. I loved being a Friend. The show was in a bad place and don’t think I can just come and save the show. I came on with the originals. It was a different kind of show. A different time and age.

The show got dark. A lot of us didn’t have respect for each other. We went too far below the belt – including me. And a lot of the girls have never respected me. They hated my story and hated that I was sitting on the couch with them. I’ve been to jail before. I’m from 5 different foster homes. I’m from the hood. But [being there] is what God has my story to be.”

Asked if she would return to RHOA, Hampton surprisingly shared that she actively would want to be back in a limited “Friend” capacity. She said:

“Would I go back? If I go back, I want to go back as a friend. I would want [the peach] money. But I’m not big on a title. And I don’t know if it’s because of my upbringing. I’m big on getting the job done, being the best at my job, and getting paid. The title could be a janitor, but as long as I’m getting the money I want and need…I’m ok.”

Interesting! Would you want to see Ms. Hampton back on RHOA?
