Marlo Hampton is adding to the new trend of apologies and makeups that has taken over “ The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” after she offered an apology to NeNe Leakes and any other Housewife she may have offended during last week’s episode.
In the midst of all the controversy and negative stereotypes that come with reality TV, it seems like the Atlanta ladies of the “Real Housewives” may be trying to take accountability for their actions and the way they behave on national television.
NeNe and her former best friend Marlo got into a nasty verbal altercation at Cynthia Bailey’s field day-inspired event, which ended with NeNe throwing water on Marlo, and Marlo calling out NeNe’s bad hairpiece.
The women have been hurling insults at each other on Twitter, but now that emotions have settled it appears Marlo just wants to make amends.
“Whether I want to be or not, I am a role model to my glam-it-up girls, nieces, goddaughters and other young women who are watching and imitating my behavior,” Marlo wrote on her blog. “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).”
She then addressed the RHOA castmates and admitted that while they may never get along, she doesn’t want things to boil over the way they did in the past.
“To al the RHOA/Bridesmaids I have offended: Phaedra, Kandi, Kim, Sheree, Diana, Pat and NeNe, I apologize,” she added. “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. 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.”
Not necessarily the most tear-jerking apology, but an apology nonetheless.
She went on to address the stereotypes that are being reinforced by all the bickering that takes place on the show, and added she doesn’t want Black women to be subject to that anymore.
“I apologize for my part in this shameful drama that reinforces stereotypes about who we are as black women,” she wrote. “And pray that one day we’ll realize nobody wins when even one of us loses.”
Only time will tell if the apologetic attitude sticks and whether the women will actually make an effort to clean up their acts.
Kenya Moore and NeNe also recently exchanged apologies after the huge sleepover brawl, and Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey squashed their beef over Cynthia seemingly throwing shade at Kandi’s fiance Todd.

Why'd she cave to Nene. I wish someone would properly stand up to that monster and show her what's up. I thought it be Marlo but now she's gone and made this wussy apology. Someone needs to straighten Nene's crass behind out because she is getting on my last nerves.

That's an apology. Sounds like one of Marlo's new best friends remark "I will kill her with kindness". I think all of them at times have very bad attitudes, but who don't. No matter how we feel and what we write they will still be paid. For the record NeNe is no worse than any one else. She has her good qualities as well as her bad ones. I thought she was human as we are. Oh yeah she can't have bad days and say the wrong things sometimes. She's expected to be perfect, make no wrong comments and to do everything right, and she better be on point at all times. Wow I didn't, know she was GOD. The show was filmed last summer, that's a long time to be angry with anyone. NeNe has put a lot of her girlfriends on the show and I sure they got paid. Say what you want about her, but one thing for sure she is living her dream. If she never gets another sitcom she has done something great in her life. I wish her much success. She will never make everyone love her and that's for real. Remember reality TV is only successful when there is a lot of drama. Marlo had every opportunity to show herself in a different light, but she choose to act like a real idiot. Every time you see her she is looking at herself in a mirror, cursing someone out. Why would she even be considered a HW? Kenya too!! I don't think this is the show that wants to show to much positivity for the black women. Good luck NeNe on DWTS. No matter how many people want you to fail overall I think you are a winner, and you for sure look out for your friends. Friends except each other for who they are. You fight make up and keep it moving. I never knew when you are no longer friends with someone they should get a bill for their friendship. Girlfriends share ideas, fashion, and recipes among other things with each other. I guess NeNe never did anything for Marlo in way of a friend. Bottom line we only see what Bravo want us to see.

I wish people would stop talking negative about NeNe. She is only being real. She speaks her mind and i like that. I wish that all of the black women on the show stop giving negativity appearance to white america because they already think the worst about us black women.
