The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Season 16 aired in 2023, and it definitely didn’t disappoint with its drama, glamour, and iconic moments. The season saw a lot of familiar faces, but also some new dynamics and even a few shake-ups.
The show’s one of the most talked about contestants is Marlo Hampton. She joined the show as a “friend of the housewives” in Season 4 and later became a full-time cast member. Hampton is known for her larger-than-life personality, bold fashion choices, and, of course, her famous one-liners and drama-filled moments on the show.
What did Marlo Hampton say about the RHOA Season 17 contestants?
Marlo Hampton has had quite a few dramatic clashes with her RHOA castmates over the years, and her issues often revolve around her no-holds-barred attitude, her fierce loyalty, and her ability to stir up tension. She’s never been shy about getting involved in the drama, and that’s earned her both friends and enemies on the show.
Now, she recently opened up about RHOA season 17. Talking about the same, she said during an interview at the recent BET Awards:
It’s just, I mean, Bravo is an amazing, amazing show, but I just feel 16 was not it. I’m gonna have to reboot it again. So I feel 17 is gonna be it.. You know it’s amazing.. I was even excited, like, oh my God, we’re rebooting, what is it gonna do, what is it gonna bring? So you know, I’m really sitting there watching, I’m like, oh, this just wasn’t it. I know it’s entertaining, but it just, we just need to get rid of a couple more people…

She further added:
I’ve not had a couple more. It wasn’t a reboot that we thought we were gonna get, right? I think 17, because we always get it right.. My last season was 15, and you know no matter what, you love us, I hate us, we get it right. We get the ratings right. The ratings is what’s important. So it’s just this season wasn’t that. But it definitely, I think 17, we’re gonna come back stronger than ever.
In the interview, she indirectly talked about the people she had a beef with and referred to her conflicts. Hampton’s beef has been a major storyline, filled with fiery confrontations and tense moments. Known for her bold fashion sense and sharp tongue, Hampton has clashed with several cast members, most notably Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore.
Who did Marlo Hampton have a beef with?
Marlo Hampton, a longtime “friend” of the show turned peach holder in Season 14, is known for stirring drama and bringing major shade. She’s had notable conflicts with several cast members.
Hampton’s tension with NeNe Leakes goes way back to when Hampton first joined the show. Leakes, the “queen” of RHOA at the time, didn’t initially warm to Hampton. Hampton drew controversy as she has always been critical of Leakes’ attitude, especially when it came to her diva-like behavior and treatment of other women.
Additionally, Hampton and Kenya Moore have a rollercoaster friendship. They’ve clashed over petty insults and deeper issues about loyalty and authenticity (via TMZ). Furthermore, Hampton and Kandi Burruss have had an interesting relationship.
The most significant fallout between them was over Burruss’ friendship with Todd Tucker (her husband) and Hampton insinuating that Burruss wasn’t being truthful about things in her personal life (via Collider).
On the other hand, her relationship with Drew Sidora is also strained. Their tension grew during Season 15, with Hampton questioning Sidora’s relationship and decision-making. She also poked fun at Sidora’s acting career, which drew some tension.
Hampton and Porsha Williams’ relationship has been a rollercoaster, starting as somewhat friendly before taking some sour turns (via Bravo). Hampton has been critical of Williams in various ways, from calling her out on her relationships to accusing her of being too naïve at times.
Hampton’s direct style and sometimes confrontational approach have kept her at the center of many storylines. Additionally, her ongoing feud with her castmates has kept viewers entertained, showcasing the complex dynamics and shifting alliances that make RHOA such a captivating series.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently available for streaming on Bravo TV (USA).
