OH MISS MARLO…HOW DARE YOU? Marlo Hampton: I'm
SORRY About Slur, CLAIMS, I ADMIRE The Gay Community!
Marlo Hampton really tried it When she got all in her feelings on Sunday’s
episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" during a catfight with Sheree Whitfield,
she dropped the F bomb (the one that rhymes with maggot). And the Housewives
(and many viewers) were pretty shocked.

Now, she's taken to her website to issue a long apology.
The utter foolery that was last night's South Africa trip episode of "Real
Housewives of Atlanta" rasied many an-eyebrow. For one, the fact Sheree &
Marlo were literally across the world fighting like 10-year-olds over ish like
Marlo not getting invited to Sheree's friend's party (despite the fact the two
are NOT friends) is just embarrassing. And secondly, dropping a gay slur, or any
slur for that matter--just because you're mad--when you claim many of the people
in that community are like family to you, is just odd.
Sheree mentioned that her friend was gay, after the girls asked if this was more than a friend to her. In the video above, when the uninvited Marlo got offended that Sheree didn't invite her to Sheree's friend's party, she went off.
Marlo's exact words: "Well anyway, that's why you don't have a man. Go and
hang with them f*****s with your ugly ass."
As usual, Marlo used her gift of too much gab to apologize and explain her actions. She expressed her disappointment in herself and stated she wants to continue to build her "strong relationship" with the gay community.

Here's what she posted on her website:
It is with great disappointment in myself and sincere regret that I would like to issue to my friends, my most ardent supporters, and my followers, this statement:
I would like to offer from the bottom of my heart
the fullest and most heartfelt apology for my recent use of an anti-gay slur.
When I used this word, I was not mindful of the demeaning connotation that this
has in the gay community. My speech was irresponsible, thoughtless and said with
the intention of conveying anger rather than as a statement on my feelings
towards the gay community as a whole.
My first action, after the incident was to contact my closest friend and assistant of 8 years and to confess what I had done, to express my sadness and regret, and to ask him for his forgiveness. I was devastated at the thought of having hurt or embarrassed him as well as any member of the gay community and relish this opportunity to publicly apologize. My friends have embraced me, supported me, withheld judgment of me and have meant a lot to me over the years. I would never abuse their kindness and friendship and would never want to hurt them or demean them in any way.

I applaud and admire this community for their
triumph over a sometimes harsh, mean spirited society that discriminates and
even violently attacks those who are different. These are obstacles that I
relate to and that I have been inspired by them to overcome. I celebrate this
community and am saddened by any indication otherwise, that my actions may have
caused.
I look forward to continuing to build my strong relationship with you, my followers and supporters, and those of you who do not yet know me and my heart. I look forward to work to regain your trust, respect and your love which has so empowered me over the years. I also thank you for allowing me to address you personally and to let you know how deeply sorry I am.

Marlo and I have spoke about the comment she made 2 Sheree. There was no
shade@ me personally. We r great friends and truly value each other. Marlo LIVES
for the Kids!!! And so does Sheree! I love them both dearly!
Well some kids didn't feel so accepting! Check this queen Miss Funky Dinerva Here what she has to say to Marlo;
You don't want dem chulren coming after you!
Marlo better not turn up on the next season of the show or there will be HELL to pay. I don't understand why everyone in the ATL isn't at her door for a good BEAT DOWN time. She needs to pay for what she said and that apology ain't worth the gum on the bottom of my shoe.
