Eva Marcille has only been a “Housewife” for two episodes. She’s not making any waves, but I am living for her subtle shade. In contrast, Marlo Hampton couldn’t be subtle if her life depended on it. Marlo is the epitome of extra and I am here for it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: hand Marlo a peach. She is the perfect level of messy. Marlo stirs the pot just enough, without doing anything morally offensive. She just strikes that perfect balance. Not only that, but we really needed her for comic relief during that last episode. It was just too sad to see Gregg Leakes suffering at NeNe Leakes’ store opening. Marlo and her antics helped me get through it.
Eva discussed Marlo’s messiness in a Bravo blog post. The model admitted, “Honey, when Marlo tried to take Porsha [Williams]’s room, I was amazed. The fact that she was actually serious was crazy to me. Marlo is a lot of fun, but I must say it does get a little extra sometimes.” A “little extra sometimes”? Marlo is more than “a little extra” all the time. Nevertheless, I support it. Stir that pot, Marlo.
Eva declared, “Marlo is hands down the biggest diva in the group, no question about it.” Most people would be insulted by that remark, but not Marlo. She’s probably proud of it.
Get ready for this though. Eva revealed Marlo “brings her own glasses and cutlery to make sure that everything is sparkling with diamonds.” Stop. Why is Marlo a “Friends of the Housewives”? She deserves that peach. Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers want to know more about the mystery that is Marlo.
We needed Marlo’s room switcharoo, club turnup with Porsha, and her jokes to cheer up Gregg. Not only did she get Gregg to crack a smile, but she also entertained the viewers. As always.

Even so, it was pretty much impossible to not be emotionally moved by the episode. Gregg is the most beloved person on the show. Seeing Gregg suffer was truly heartbreaking.
Eva admitted, “It was definitely difficult seeing Gregg as he struggles through this illness. He is such a fighter. It reminds you of how precious life is and how precious people are, and it really does put things into perspective.” It sure does.
