Marlo Hamton Apologzies for 'Shameful Drama' After NeNe Leakes Fight
Marlo Hampton, the socialite who became popular on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is apologizing to the show's star NeNe Leakes after the pair engaged in a verbal altercation on and off of the reality television series.
Hampton first appeared on the series during its fourth season and did not return for the fifth. Although she has made a few appearances during the sixth season, a recent verbal altercation took place between the pair on the show which carried over to Twitter where they traded insults last week.
However, Hampton says she is ashamed of her actions and realized that she is a role model to young women.
"I need to do better. I can't promise you I'll turn the other cheek if I'm slapped, (don't suggest anyone try me, I'm not there yet) but be patient ya'll, God is still working on me," she wrote in her blog Musings From the Boudoir. "So… I apologize for my part in this shameful drama that reinforces stereotypes about who we are as black women. And pray that one day we'll realize nobody wins when even one of us loses."
Hampton went on to apologize to multiple personalities from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"-- both past and present. She also apologized to the bridesmaids that fans may have witnessed her have issues with while serving as Leakes bridesmaid last year in the latter's spinoff series "I Dream of NeNe."
"To all the RHOA/Bridesmaids I have offended: Phaedra, Kandi, Kim, Sheree, Diana, Pat and NeNe, I apologize. We may never be friends or see eye to eye on anything, (and I'm cool with that!) however, I don't need to tear you down to build myself up," Hampton wrote. "I know who I am – The Diva, Marlo Patrice Hampton and I am the spotlight, but so are you. Let's all bask in it. God made sure there would be enough shine for all of us."
