Kenya Moore of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has finally found a friend in ‘Mugshot’ Marlo Hampton.

The fashionable felon was once the BFF of Nene Leakes, but after their fallout last Summer, it seems their reality show ‘friendship’ is a wrap.

Now Marlo is taking advantage of her newfound airtime and is speaking up for her NEW ‘BFF’ Kenya Moore.

If you recall, during episode 12 of RHOA, Kenya got into a shouting match with Christopher William‘s wife Natalie about whether they were actually ‘married’ or ‘common law married’ (CLICK HERE if you missed that).

Marlo is now defending her mentally challenged friend in a recent blawg post where she offers a supportive stance on Moore’s recent outbursts.

The saga continues!

I hope you checked me out last night on RHOA. Thanks to you, I’m back! You’ll definitely be seeing more of me as the season continues. So, let’s get to it and spill some tea shall we?

Shout out to Christopher Williams for that beautiful tribute to Cynthia and Peter on their 3rd anniversary. He’s still got it doesn’t he?

Breakfast at Cynthia’s before our trip to the Wolf Mountain Vineyards was awesome and the ladies were gorgeous in their “going to drink some wine” dresses. Oh, and my Tom Ford boots were “hawt!” Just like Cynthia’s champagne, I felt like a “sweet bish” when I was wearing them! I also met Kenya for the first time in this episode, and this “tea spilling” diva is definitely a handful! (Mmm hmmm just like me!).

Now of course when the ladies get together you have to expect gossip-fueled fireworks. Christopher Williams’ “wife” Natalie, (and I put it in quotes because her official status is questionable) came to the table and got the drama started. She had a lot to say about Kandi and Todd, and personally as one who knows it’s not easy to gain entry into this exclusive circle I don’t think bringing up his past was the way to go. Did she not get the memo, you don’t mess with Kandi’s man, daughter or mama?

Natalie basically said that Todd was an opportunist on the “come up.” Aren’t we all taking advantage of opportunities that help us move up?

[Sidebar: If I recall, those were Nene’s exact words to me about Marlo ‘switching teams’ when Kenya Moore hired her to be her BFF.  But I digress.]

Marlo ‘s hired blogger goes on to write…

Kandi has made it clear that I’m not one of her favorite people, (which is fine with me) but I would never want to maliciously add strife to her relationship. I did applaud her when she shut Ms. Natalie down with a toast, (and then a bite to eat!) Lol… her and Phaedra do love to get their munch on.

Truthfully, I did call them phat, but meant no disrespect. Both Phaedra and Kandi are from the South where the men prefer a girl with some meat on her bones who’s not afraid to chow down.

As you can see, these sexy curvy divas are comfortable in their skin! Werk them donkey booties ladies! Lol!

Marlo’s from the south too though… waaaay south. NEVER FORGET…

Wow… Marlo is really riding for Kenya this season. I guess Moore’s ‘friendship contract’ check finally cleared.

What do you think of Marlo’s sudden allegiance to Kenya Moore?

Is Marlo being an opportunistic backstabber by ‘switching teams’?
