Marlo Hampton Slams ‘RHOA’ Star Porsha Williams

Hampton appeared on an April 2026 episode of Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday” podcast for an extensive interview. During a section of the conversation, the NFL icon asked the 50-year-old “RHOA” alum where she stood with some of her former costars.

When he mentioned Williams’ name, she said, “I don’t like her. She’s a hater, complicated.” After that, she continued, “But anyway, that’s just complicated because she was very against me coming back two seasons ago.”

Hampton then explained that when Williams was in talks to return to “RHOA” for season 16, “she was “one of the main people against me coming back.” She went on, “And one thing I don’t play with, I would never try to stop someone from getting their check.

The ‘RHOA’ Alum Explained Why Porsha Williams Didn’t Want To Film With Her

Hampton continued this line of discussion, revealing why she thinks Williams didn’t want her on “RHOA” season 16. She said, “I’m the one who will hold her accountable. I’m gonna ask the questions. She likes to run sh-t.”

From there, Newton asked why Bravo would go along with Williams’ demands. She stated, “I don’t know. She sold them a dream that she was coming on with a husband and gonna live this huge lifestyle and be in this expensive home.”

Hampton went on to note that Williams was unable to deliver what she seemingly promised for season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” noting that she was going through a divorce and couldn’t show her home at the time.

Elsewhere in the interview, Hampton also slammed Moore, calling her a “hater” and “disgusting.” The “RHOA” alum also claimed that Moore “goes too far.” However, she also admitted that many on the cast, including herself, went too far, leading Bravo to make changes to the show.

‘RHOA’ Fans Are Divided

As mentioned, Hampton is one of the most revered former cast members from “RHOA.” However, her appearances in seasons 14 and 14 left many fans of the hit Bravo show with sour tastes in their mouths. Because of this, some are calling her latest comments hypocritical.

One person said on Instagram, “Marlo, this is how we feel about you.” Another fan wrote, “Marlo, you have always been a Porsha hater.”

A different social media user said, “Kenya goes too far? They act like they never did anything to Kenya. Apollo literally lied on her, and the whole world believed it when Pheadra co-signed that lie. Marlo said Kenya didn’t give birth to Brooklyn and called her a test tube baby. Like, let’s be for real. But when Kenya claps back, it’s too far.”

Someone else wrote, “Porsha has not hated on Marlo at all. Marlo on the other hand was always hating on Porsha. Nobody wanted you to come back.”

Marlo Announced Her Exit In 2024

Hampton made her first appearance on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” during the show’s 4th season as a friend of. After that, she was featured on multiple seasons of the show in this capacity. It wasn’t until season 14 that she became a full-time housewife, a role she maintained through the following installment.

However, in February 2024, she announced she would not be returning for the show’s 16th season. Hampton told PEOPLE, “My contract with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ ended when season 15 wrapped. This break from ‘RHOA’ is a fresh start, allowing me the space to participate in new creative entertainment projects focused on my future, and not reliving my past.”

She concluded, “I look forward to my continued relationship with Bravo and NBC Universal.”

Hampton Recently Sent Her Nephew Off To College

“RHOA” fans know that a significant part of Hampton’s storyline for her last two seasons involved her taking custody of her two nephews. After her time on the show ended, she provided updates on the boys via social media, including the college admission process for the older of the two, Michael.

According to Bravo, she confirmed in April 2025 that he was preparing to go away for college. She said in a social media post, “Michael and William, I love you more than words can say. We’ve grown so much together—through the challenges, the joy, and all the little moments in between. Becoming a family under one roof wasn’t always easy, but I wouldn’t change a thing.”

The “RHOA” alum added, “Watching you both grow into incredible young men fills me with so much pride. As we step into this next chapter with Michael heading to college, I’m ready for all that’s to come—together, always.”
