Marlo Hampton Has Been Fired!
Marlo Hampton’s time as a fulltime housewife was a rather short-lived and bizarre experience.
Was she the real disaster, or the producers who protected her?
The only reason why Marlo became upgraded to a housewife, was because the casting for season 14 was reported to have been a disaster.
Drew Sidora got her second chance, Sanya Richards-Ross was the newbie, and Shereé Whitfield made her second return to the show.
In my opinion, season 14 wasn’t as bad as the disastrous casting process forecasted, but it wasn’t before season 15 that it became apparent that this cast didn’t work.
And instead of admitting that Marlo had been a mistake, Bravo doubled down on it at the reunion for season 14.
They portrayed her as the traumatized foster child who became the fabulous Marlo Hampton, but Kenya Moore wanted no part of the martyr edit.
Kenya saw that this was heading for a disaster, as she confronted the women in a deleted scene about them ruining the show and made an interview with Carlos King.
When Carlos asked her why season 15 was so bad, she answered: “Choices. Casting choices.”
The most bizarre thing about Marlo’s time as a housewife was how the producers and editors were seemingly protecting her, by covering up for her lies.
Had they asked her to come for Kandi Burruss and bring up the shootings at her restaurants, since Kandi and Todd Tucker weren’t legally allowed to talk about it?
Was that why they misrepresented situations to benefit Marlo? Needless to say that it all failed.
The viewers aren’t stupid, and I would argue that the producers of RHOA was perhaps more to blame for the show’s failure than the women.
Marlo was a liability for RHOA and Bravo, and I would argue that she’s one of the reasons why the show is now getting a revamp.
Kandi has quit, Marlo is fired, Porsha Williams is coming back.
One of my arguments for what makes a good housewife is that she must want to be a housewife.
But did Marlo want it a little too much?
