While fans of Real Housewives of Atlanta have been so engaged in the Kenya Moore vs. Saving Our Daughters, Kenya vs. Nene Leakes, Nene blames Kenya for the pillow talk fight drama, they may have forgotten that there is a storm brewing between Nene and yet another cast member.
If fans have followed Marlo Hampton and Nene on Twitter and keep up with the blogosphere than you are aware of the back and forth shade throwing that has taken place over the past few months between the two, specifically from RHOA’s self proclaimed queen bee but fans will see all of that come to a head on this coming Sunday’s episode.
There have been tons of unconfirmed reports alleging that Bravo producers have been grooming Marlo to come in and join the show as a full time cast member next season, as fans and allegedly producers have grown tired of the antics of its sole original cast mate Ms. Leakes. Perhaps this would explain why Nene appears to come off so mean spirited on camera toward Marlo, who at one point she called a friend.
Nene who now no longer considers Marlo a friend, has been trashing her just as she has Kenya in various outlets and calling Marlo an opportunist. Well now Ms. Hampton has released her statement challenging those claims and suggesting like many that Mrs. Leakes’ head has gotten quite big. Peep what Marlo had to say below:
Heeeeey Divas and Divos! Yes, I know, we’ve been out of touch these past couple weeks, but you’re always on my mind. Your girl has just been laying low til all the dust settles from the latest RHOA drama. I was chillin with my girl at the All-Star Game, eating too many Po’boys and drinking way too much on Bourbon Street! But let’s get to it… Ready to dish?
Well, my time on the show this week was brief and unfortunately, I couldn’t be there for the charity event. I was already scheduled to be out of town for another engagement, but definitely supported Ms. Kenya and the very worthwhile cause she wanted to help. Let me start by saying that while Kenya and I are not best friends, (we only met recently) I refuse to let others determine whether or not I should befriend her. She has done nothing but support me and whenever we’re together we always have a grand ole time. I don’t need to sit in judgment of her… She has enough judges and juries already! As far as I’m concerned, we’re cool! Time will tell how it all works out in the long run, won’t it?
As I said, when I first started spending time with NeNe, (who initially was not too happy about me being on RHOA, but then “appeared” to take me under her wing), I didn’t let the warnings from Kandi and Phaedra deter me from giving her the benefit of the doubt. I looked up to her as a big sister since she and my oldest sister, (who is 8 years my senior and full of wisdom) are the same age. I really thought she understood where I came from and how I was trying to change my life for the better, just as she had done. We all have a past, but we can choose to leave it behind us. (I guess I should have listened to the ladies, huh? Sorry…)
I’ve been called an opportunist, often! But honestly, who among us does not take advantage of opportunities that improve the quality of our lives and allow us to realize our dreams? Who among us doesn’t use our gifts, brains, beauty and talents to our benefit? Let she/he who lives in the glass house, (of delusions) throw the first stone at me. Unlike some of us, I don’t believe that there are people who “are not on my level!” Last I heard, God created all of us equal.
That “taste” of Hollywood is like fresh, sweet ice cream. The only problem is, eventually it will melt and the “taste” will fade leaving not even a linger of flavor… Perhaps some of us should learn the meaning of humility because just like an elevator, the people you put off, might be the same ones you want to hold the door when you’re trying to get back on… Ijs!
See ya next week. Muah!
