Marlo Hampton tweeted a selfie saying she “finally got my peach” weeks ago and now, more footage from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” filming gives credence to the fact that she’s joined the cast full time.

The ghost stylist appeared to be filming a confessional scene over the weekend, an image of which was captured by an RHOA fan account. Such a taping is usually only reserved for housewives, so the switch up is a change for the longtime friend of the show.

Over the weekend, Hampton was also spotted filming with RHOA stars Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams and Eva Marcille (who is also rumored to be joining season 11) in support of NeNe Leakes’ comedy show and her Swagg Boutique opening in Miami.

The telling green screen image, similar to the one Kenya Moore was spotted in front of in a clip of her work on RHOA in 2015, adds even more fuel to rumors that Moore is out and Hampton is in.

In response to Hampton’s upgrade, fans of the Bravo series have been sounding off.

“I’m here for it … BRING THE SHADE AUNTIE.”

“Yaaaaaas finally!!!! I love her!!”

“About f—ing time! 🍑.”

“She don’t bring enough for a peach I am sorry.”

“Okay, so we can give this woman who looks almost 70 a peach but not [Phaedra Parks]? bye”

“No offense, Marlo, but I’m not looking for you to get a peach. They need to give you a Platinum Tierra and give you your own DARN show!”

Amid reports Moore is out of RHOA because of the way she handled her marriage (she eloped), the former Miss USA winner declared she won’t be sidelined as a friend of the show.

“I will be a [housewife] nothing at all 😘. Fact# I don’t discuss business but know that I know my value #queen # #kenyamoore #truth #shadequeen #shadeassassin #blameitonmyhormones #letaBishknow,” Moore fired off on Instagram last week.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
