NeNe Leakes Blasts Deceitful Housewives Over Marlo Hampton

NeNe Leakes stayed in true trenchant form during her Sunday night Twitter rant against fellow cast mates Sheree Whitfield and Phaedra Parks.

The latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired Sunday night gaining the franchise its highest rating, (oddly) NeNe was displayed as the peacemaker, but that didn’t avert the reality show villain from inciting ruckus via Twitter.

“The Smalls loved Marlo Hampton when they thought they could turn her against me! Now that were friends, they don’t like her 4 no real reason,” NeNe tweeted.

The ‘Smalls’ is a reference to the shorter girls of the show—Phaedra Parks, Sheree Whitfield, and Kandi Burruss while the “Talls” are the remaining women—NeNe Leakes , Cynthia Bailey, and Marlo Hampton. Marlo is NFL player Charles Grant’s ex, who also allegedly dated NeNe while she was separated from her estranged husband. While we thought Marlo was making a guest appearance to spruce up some tension for NeNe, seems she’s a mainstay.

“Phaedra & Sheree wanted Marlo on the show! They pushed production 4 her. Once we met & started talkin, they turned on her. They wanted Marlo on the show because they thought we would get n2 it about Charles but I never dated him,” NeNe tweeted.

The women are in South Africa in what was a squandered attempt to bond and move beyond catty issues, hence Marlo and Sheree’s brouhaha.

The next day (Monday), NeNe still had more to tweet regarding the ladies reneging on their cast choice, ““Maja was suppose 2 b the new housewife but Sheree & Phaedra didn’t want her on the show. They wanted Marlo 4 obvious reasons! Back fired.”

NeNe also dropped a few hints about leaving the show but for now she basking in the drama.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
