Fans Want RHOA to Give Shamari DeVoe’s Peach to Marlo Hampton: ‘Just Doesn’t Fit in’

Shamari DeVoe shared a throwback selfie from the summer over the weekend that turned into a dragging session for the newest “Real Housewives of Atlanta” peach holder.

The singer uploaded a shot on Instagram Sunday that coincided with a couples dinner she attended with husband Ronnie DeVoe. Wanting to give RHOA fans a closer look at the outfit she wore to the event, which aired on the show Dec. 7, Shamari asked fans what they thought of her lacy black top and matching choker, which was accented by a smokey eye.

“Flashback ——> On my way to ‘Boobs and Bourbon.’ What did y’all think of last night’s episode? #RHOA,” she asked her followers in the caption of the photo.

Commenters didn’t totally respond in kind. Once one fan suggested RHOA take her peach and give it to Marlo Hampton, other fans echoed the sentiment.

“@shamaridevoe #RHOA needs to take your 🍑 and give it to Marlo Hampton @marlohampton😊😊😊😊”

“I hope so.”

“Exactly my opinion!!! Marlo Hampton needs a peach!! Sharmari just doesn’t fit in with the other girls.”

“I’m sorry but she needs to earn her Peach just like everyone else! Being married to Ronnie didn’t do much for the show.

“Nooooo boo I love porsha hair❤️💋”

“BEEEEEAAAATTTTT FOR THE CHEAP SEATS.”

But not everyone commenting on the pic was such a hater.

“Alright now😍😍😍”

“This picture is Greatness my friend!”

“I like you a lot. I think you well spoken and look good 💋💋💋💋”

“Glad you inject some youth into the cast.”

Shamari’s storyline on RHOA has largely centered around her admission to her cast mates that she and her New Edition star husband were in an open relationship for a year and a half. While the stint has since ended, the Blaque group member has been sharing details about trying out something unconventional.

“As long as I was able to go about in my bi-curious ways then I was cool with that,” Shamari said in a previous episode. “I didn’t want to be with another man because I had my husband. I ended up sleeping with two women during that time. He probably slept with about 10. I started the open relationship and I stopped the open relationship. I realized the grass wasn’t greener.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
