Marlo Hampton… finger pointin’ at Sheree Whitfield. Is that the correct, proper etiquette way to point a finger while screeching at a fellow Housewife… in the stairwell of the nice hotel that BravoAndy is payin’ for???
From VibeVixen (great site for the ATL Housewives!):
It is with great disappointment in myself and sincere regret that I would like to issue to my friends, my most ardent supporters, and my followers, this statement:
I would like to offer from the bottom of my heart the fullest and most heartfelt apology for my recent use of an anti-gay slur. When I used this word, I was not mindful of the demeaning connotation that this has in the gay community. My speech was irresponsible, thoughtless and said with the intention of conveying anger rather than as a statement on my feelings towards the gay community as a whole.
My first action, after the incident was to contact my closest friend and assistant of 8 years and to confess what I had done, to express my sadness and regret, and to ask him for his forgiveness. I was devastated at the thought of having hurt or embarrassed him as well as any member of the gay community and relish this opportunity to publicly apologize. My friends have embraced me, supported me, withheld judgment of me and have meant a lot to me over the years. I would never abuse their kindness and friendship and would never want to hurt them or demean them in any way.
I applaud and admire this community for their triumph over a sometimes harsh, mean spirited society that discriminates and even violently attacks those who are different. These are obstacles that I relate to and that I have been inspired by them to overcome. I celebrate this community and am saddened by any indication otherwise, that my actions may have caused. More from Marlo’s boudoir … here.
NOTE: Certainly Miss Marlo meant no harm! Miss Marlo probably just let it slip her lil mind that her boss, Miss Andy Cohen, is an outspoken member of the community which she insulted. Poor Marlo!
(Thanks to SH reader “Jozy”!!!)
She’s not sorry at all. Marlo is as rotten as Nene’s teeth.
LMAO they were some rotten things b4 she got them veneers!
Her ghetto fabulous colors came out last night.
Reckon she forgot the cameras were around while she was apprenticing for her possible role as a housewife?
There are two kinds of people in the world – people who use that word and people who don’t. You either have it in you or you don’t. It’s like the ‘N’ word. One of my gay friends could set me on fire – that word would still never naturally come out of my mouth. Sorry Marlo, your thesaurus apology means nothing. Your goose is cooked – and Miss Andy and the rest of the gay mafia at bravo shall be feasting on it in due course!
I no longer watch the Atlanta show, but I agree with your comment. Either that word is part of your regular vocabulary or it’s not. Her excuse is just as offensive, blah blah… I didn’t mean it. Yes you did, and Bravo caught it on tape. I imagine Miss Andy is not pleased.
I cannot stand it when ignorant celebrities toss out after-the-fact apologies like used diapers. Marlo can go suck it. (Is that OK to type, Ms. SH?) This disingenuousness just boils my butt!

Marlo is so phony and I knew the day would come when her “True” self would be shown. No matter how hard she tries she’s nothing more than a pretentious whore in designer sheep’s clothing. That’s the 2nd time she dropped the “F” word. And don’t think for a second she wouldn’t use it against a gay person if provoked. I can’t wait to see how gay viewers and Andy Cohen deal with her.
Second time? When was the other time?!
Just wondering why you would call yourself a hooker? Is being a hooker glorified now? Really, just wondering.
Marlo blew any chance of ever staying on the show. We all know Miss Andy really hates that word. IamSheree Shereè Whitfield
@ @T9milli I know, I hate I even went there! Thats what I was speaking of when I said “I see what ur doing” Trying 2 secure a spot on the show

MsAndy will most certainly not like that at all. Crazy clips of Marlo coming up soon. When he turned on Alex from NY he played clip after clip of her to make fun of her, He might have tried to play it like that wasn’t what he was doing but it was pretty obivous, he is becoming about as see-thru as the housewives themselves.
Marlo is pulling that “some of my best friends are gay” crap! I hope Andy sees thru that and calls her on it.
That excuse has been used forever, but when the word comes straight out of your mouth instead of someone accusing you of saying it, that makes using that as an excuse even more unacceptable.
Marlo….
Dear Andy, Please stop bringing drama queens onto the show. I read that this idiot was so desperate to be on that S. African trip that she payed her own way. Pathetic. Send her on her way to the “Bad Girls Club” show.
She was not aware of the demeaning connotation of that word? I believe that. Sure.
i dont believe a word of her apology. Either this is a word you use or not. Give Marlo the boot. RHOA is becoming the worst of all the housewives shows.
Marlo never paid her\his own way ever! First of all Manlo is a shemale, not the least bit female. He\She has never worked a day in it’s life, because with that long criminal record, it couldn’t get hired at Walmart.
Let’s call a spade a spade, No one has that type of security in their home if they aren’t paranoid. And no amount of high heels and handbags can make one so paranoid, unless she’s living smack in the middle of the projects. So, only drug dealers and criminals need to se every corner of their property and home to that extent. Did anyone see a system like that in Adriennes house? And to make it even more sick, that little power play she through in Africa about needing to know exactly who was around her stuff. Drug dealers and their wome.. I mean signifigant others behave like that.
Anyway, I stick to it. Manlo is up to something highly illegal and suspect.
I must have dozed off, the episode was otherwise dull…..but when did she use it? Was it during the fight? Must have been because I just heard Charlie Brown’s teacher’s voice, “wah wah wah wah wah,” for the whole scene. The subtitles here have been invaluable!
AOM, Is that Alice Cooper?
Yup. But now I registered for a WordPress account so I could reply to comments, I could with the twitter.
Oh by the way SH, Ilike how you have to register now. Seems like it will be easier to control, Although somefool already had my ninjapanda.
somebody already had my name too, lol. It must be for everybody that has wordpress, I had to use a first and middle name, then went back in after I got the account and changed user name back to gail
ninja, Is that why Marlo had to have her/his own bathroom?
Marlo has an assistant, or someone to fence goods? Please don’t bring her back!
Marlo’s publicist did great job with that apology, it’s pretty well-written and shovels a lot of crap in 4 paragraphs.
I love the mugshots interspersed with the apology!
And Marlo’s site is hilarious! In a laughing-at-you way.
Its a man. Come off it Manlo, Miss Lawrence is more effeminate. Ick!
Marlo worked at an adult club in atlanta as a waitress/bartender
Marlo: Welcome! Glad to see you’re out of “haterville!” Now that the niceties are over… Spill it!!! TFC!! SH
