Marlo Hampton Hugely Shades Eva Marcille: ‘She’s an Instagram Model’

Marlo Hampton is never afraid to keep it real shady in front of the cameras, and she didn’t deviate from the norm when it came to Eva Marcille’s modeling career recently.

As she and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Cynthia Bailey appeared on “What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” Sunday, Hampton treated viewers to her signature shade.

One fan asked about where the businesswoman’s friendship with the “America’s Next Top Model” winner stood following their diss-heavy argument on the bus in Tokyo earlier this season.

“Eva and I are good,” Hampton begins. “Yeah, we’re good. I’m loving her though because you know now, she’s an Instagram model. She has some amazing pictures.”

The remark led to some surprised laughter from the audience, and host Andy Cohen furrowed his brow.

“She is!” Hampton continues. “Her last five posts are freakin’ amazing!”

“But why are you saying she’s an Instagram model?” Bailey asks.

“‘Cause she’s AWOL from the runway but killing Instagram! Killing Instagram! She really is! I wasn’t being shady! She looks amazing! Look at her last five posts on Instagram!” Hampton insists.

Yet, while Hampton insisted she was not throwing shade at the peach holder, viewers readily agreed that she had, in fact, done just that.

“Marlo with the Eva shade 😩😭 #wwhl #rhoa.”

“Marlo was so shady calling Eva an Instagram model 🤦🏽‍♂️ what’s even funnier is that her last couple pics she talked about arent even model pics lolol #WWHL.”

“Marlo just made me go to Eva’s Instagram page and look at her posts. She’s so shady😂😂😂 #wwhl #RHOA.”

“Marlo threw good shade Eva!”

A fan made Marcille aware of the remark on Instagram, and it looks as if she took it in stride.

It seems Hampton may have been trying to redeem herself from being completely shut down by Marcille when the two traded various low blows during a girls trip to Japan. During the trek, Hampton slammed Marcille’s style, while the model dissed her ability to fit into clothes. Hampton hit back with a “your mother,” which Marcille didn’t take kindly to. Next, Hampton demanded Marcille go on a smoke break and said doing so makes her unable to breastfeed.

“Have a child!” Marcille hit back. “You so bitter, Ima pray for you.”

After Marcille bragged about her two kids, Hampton pointed out the boy and girl have two different fathers.

“You got two kids by two different men!” she said.

“And you have what? You have nothing. You have what’s on your wrist and that ill-fitting wig you wearing. That’s about what we got, so sit it back,” the model fired off.

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.
