‘Marlo Making Up for All the Years She Was Denied a Peach’: Marlo Hampton Debuts Custom Gown Filled with Her Most Memorable ‘RHOA’ Moments

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 WhitfieldKandi BurrussKenya MooreDrew 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.

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.
