Marlo Hampton’s Stylish IG Post Gets Thwarted by Trolls Who Deem Her Messy

As fans piled on the praise for Marlo Hampton’s newest fashionable frock, detractors slowly waded their way through the comments section.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star gave fans what they wanted by serving some serious style on her Instagram account Tuesday, April 2.

“🥢🔪 💅🏾 I always bring my slay game 💰💰💰,” the reality star captioned the image.

Wearing an uber-long ponytail, Hampton posed with her hair in her hand in a colorful one-shoulder Mary Katrantzou dress. An equally colorful set of Louboutin heels adorned Hampton’s feet. She completed the ‘fit with huge gold-colored statement earrings and a matching bracelet, along with a small yellow handbag.

The celeb’s followers eagerly complimented her appearance.

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 As Always!!!!”

“@marlohampton You are gracefully aging backwards!!! Beautiful!!!😍😍”

“I Think She The Best Looking Housewive!! 💜”

But then, critics rolled through to remark negatively on the longtime friend of the show, who has never become a full-time cast member of “RHOA.”

“But you messy and tear others down. We ain’t trynna see that.”

“You sure do but please dont being mean and nasty like @neneleakes. You are better than that @marlohampton we love you.”

“Messy boots.”

Hampton doesn’t have to hold a peach to keep the pot stirring all throughout season 11 of “RHOA,” however.

One of the star’s main targets this season was newbie Shamari DeVoe. She and Hampton sparred over Hampton’s continued disses of her style, which the former boutique owner deemed outdated.

“I do feel you’re beautiful, you’re gorgeous,” Hampton said in an episode of “RHOA” titled “Sisterhood of the Traveling Peaches.” “You can’t get ugly nowhere. The fashion, you need help with it. Not being funny. I would have a field day with you.”

DeVoe held her own and later fired off on “Watch What Happens Live,” “Of course I’m gonna say — oh, wait a minute, Marlo’s not a housewife, is she?” in response to a question about who’s the shadiest housewife.

When she moved on from taking jabs at the Blaque singer’s aesthetic, Hampton was spilling the beans about new bride Eva Marcille’s alleged financial woes. Hampton repeated gossip from one of the model’s disgruntled bridesmaids, who relayed the dirt in a phone call after Marcille’s wedding.

“I’m hearing that they’re having a problem with where they’re living, that they’re renting,” Hampton said. “I’m hearing that they have to get out ASAP. The streets are saying her car has a CPN or CPA number. … Some crooked way to get a car.”

Marcille has denied she has any issues with her money and claims that her ever-changing living situation actually stems from her ex-boyfriend stalking her family.

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.
