‘Wow’: Tiny Harris’ Height Unexpectedly Becomes Focus of Marlo Hampton’s New Instagram Post

Marlo Hampton is keeping busy between seasons of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The longtime friend of the Bravo series is appearing in the BET series “Games People Play” alongside Tiny Harris. Recently, Hampton shared some pics from the set to promote her appearance, but all fans focused on was the massive height difference between Harris and the others involved with the show.

“Meet my character Monique 🎬on tonight’s episode of #GamesPeoplePlay on BET at 9p est. I had a blast 🔥filming with my sis @majorgirl and the entire cast, much ❤️ to executive producer @traceyeedmonds ✨ #actorgang #bet …” Hampton captioned the Tuesday, May 14, post surrounding the drama based on the book by Angela Burt-Murray.

While Hampton was pumped about her newest acting gig after her turn in MTV’s “How High 2 earlier this month,” fans largely seemed more intrigued by the huge height difference between Harris and Hampton as well as actors Sarunas Jackson and Jackie Long and the show’s executive producer Tracey Edmonds.

“Damn tiny so short are maybe y’all Giants 😂”

Wow Tiny is actually tiny 😩😳😨

“Danm how small & short is tiny.”

“Tiny that short?😩”

“Tiny should be casted on Little Women ATL .”

“I know y’all lying! I knew @majorgirl was tiny but damn 😩”

This is only the latest time that Harris’ height has become the focus of a photo-op. During a family vacation to Hawaii last month, the Xscape singer posed alongside her mother, Diane Cottle-Pope and Harris’ two sons King and Major Harris.

But with Harris’ height hitting at just 4 feet 11, several fans mistook the 43-year-old singer for one of her children.

“Omgggg u look like one of the kids 😩 I need this fountain of youth!!! 🙌🏾.”

“@majorgirl you looking like one of the kids.. lol had to do a double take.. like I don’t remember seeing that lil girl on the show 😍🙌 tiny is ageless.”

“Tiny aging backwards ❤️ I thought she was a kid on 1st glance I love how family is ALWAYS first with them!”

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.
