Cast members from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” are taking control of the promo this season, and it’s only just begun. Season 14 of “RHOA” features veterans Shereé Whitfield, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora and the newest housewife, Olympic track and field gold medalist, Sanya Richards-Ross.
Before Sunday’s premiere, the cast allegedly self-funded their promo campaign that challenged amounts paid by Bravo paid. And now Georgia’s newest peach has done the same. Fans have shown Marlo Hampton nothing but love since transitioning as a support cast member for 13 seasons to officially getting her peach in season 14.
On Monday, the reality star shared a promo video that shows her pushing a shopping cart full of peaches. In the short clip, she paired metallic Louboutin heels with a custom gown filled with images of some of her most memorable “RHOA” moments in black and white.
‘I always had the Juice, but now I got the Peach. #zoomin,” Hampton captioned the post. She also credited her entire glam squad, including dress designer Dana Dalton.
The 55-year-old paired the same caption with another image of her memorabilia dress. “If doing the most was a person,” she captioned a separate Instagram post featuring behind-the-scenes footage.
Fans in the comments of Hampton’s post gushed over her creative dress including Tami Roman, who said, “ATP [At this point], you are the most creative person I know. WOW, this dress.” Here’s what others had to say.
“Oh, you are the epitome of class and creative design. You go @marlohampton.”
“Marlo making up for all the years she was denied the peach.”
“Marlo said I’ll take every peach, thank you.”
“Just before the MET…ok Marlo.”
“Marlo has always been ahead of her time!!!!! #RHOARoyalty.”
Some individuals took it a step further by referencing Kandi Burruss’ comments about how Hampton collects her coins. One person said, “Chile, yes Momma and keep Kandi funny lookin self wondering about your coins. No matter how much money they have, you still make them sweat.”
The ladies brought the sun and the shade during the season-14 premiere of “RHOA” that aired on Sunday, May 1. Throughout the entire episode, castmate Kandi Burruss questioned how Hampton supports herself financially. When discussing Hampton in her confessional, she said, “You must be better at managing money than her because you still have your billionaire boyfriend’s coins from a decade ago.”
Hampton was able to address the singer’s shady comments during her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live on Andy Cohen” later. She said, “You know what, Kandi, at the end of the day, that’s Archive money. I know how to invest. It is what it is.”
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on the Bravo Network.
