As the trend of “housewives” without husbands continues, it’s been officially confirmed that Marlo Hampton is the newest addition to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I broke the news months ago, when Marlo was spotted taping alongside Phaedra Parks at several events around town.

Since that time, it was found that Marlo had an extensive criminal past, and her gallery full of mugshots were revealed for the world to see.

Marlo’s “people” even reached out to me with an “exclusive” statement from the new housewife regarding her hard knock past and how she has grown from her experiences.

Well all that drama has paid off for Hampton, who as of my first post hadn’t even signed her deal. All of the drama paid off and she’s now a full fledged “housewife” without a husband! *clap for her*

Marlo’s claim to fame is her relationship with NFL’s Charles Grant, who was rumored to be NeNe’s jumpoff a while back. Marlo, who is also a stylist, even styled NeNe once or twice last season, which further adds to the drama.

I’m not gonna spoil the season for you, but you can best believe there’s gonna be a few fireworks.
