RHOA: Iconic Ex-con with Thee Marlo Hampton

00:00:00
Speaker 1: So I would see girls come who I know were not as worthy, who did not put in this amount the work that I put in, who is not as faithful to the network like I am, who's not as faithful to the friends that I was to, And I put the fucking work in. Am my idva, yeah, my extra Yeah, But I'm loyal to who I mess with and who takes care of me. So it took me back to that space of like being a foster child, Like, hey, you're a foster child. You'll never be good enough for us, your ghiddo. It took me back to God, why did you have me grow up to get in trouble? Like are they not giving me the peace because I went to jail? Are they not giving me the piece because I said the F word? I just questioned myself.

00:00:39
Speaker 2: Why Why am I not worthy?

00:00:42
Speaker 1: Why do you feel these other girls are better than me?

00:00:46
Speaker 3: Stay tuned, we'll get into my conversation with Marlowe Hampton right after these quick ads. Welcome to Reality Tea with the King. It's me Carlos King, the King of Reality TV and one of the most sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten years of production experience. I've executive produced top rated programs such as eight seasons of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Additionally, I have created shows such as Netflix's Styling Hollywood Owns, number one rated Love and Marriage Franchise, and TV one's Hollywood Divas, just to.

00:01:33
Speaker 4: Name a few.

00:01:34
Speaker 3: Twice a week on Reality with the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that we are still talking and tweeting about. Hey, rain Drops, today's guest on Reality with the King is one of my dear friends and an official peach older. You better work, bitch of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

00:02:04
Speaker 4: That's right, I'm talking about Marlow Hampton.

00:02:08
Speaker 3: Yes, when I met Marlow season four of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, she was always this over the top fashionis sta who I knew was a star. I advocated so much for Marlow to get a peach, but guess what she turned us down. Yes, y'all, that's an exclusive. What was also so interesting about Marlow is when I did her interviews, like her confessionals. You know how those things are. The women wear a nice top, but they're usually in sweatpants and sneakers or flip flops because the shop is only waste up. So as I was through Marlow's interview, I'm like, girl, just you know, wear Q top, You could wear sweatpants, you could wear flip flops. Marlow tried it and did the interview for maybe thirty seconds, and she was like, Carlos, this ain't work, and I got to be myself.

00:03:01
Speaker 4: Miss Thing went upstairs, y'all in her.

00:03:03
Speaker 3: Closet, brought out a Gucci dress, put on high heels, sprayed perfume, and sat down and said let's go. I'm like, Marlow, no one's going to see your heels or samell your perfume on camera. But that goes to show you she's always been this over the top character and that's the reason why it's been long overdue for her to have a peach. In this conversation, we talk about the first time we met. We talked about her up and down relationship with Nini and Kenya, and we sort of get emotional as we talk about what this peach meant to her because of what she had to go through to get it, and how she related this back to what it was like being a foster kid. Now let's get into this conversation with my girl, Marlow Hampton. So look, I said this to you personally, but I gotta say it to you publicly as well. Congratulations on your peach, bitch.

00:03:58
Speaker 4: It is well deserve, honey, you deserved this season four. Honey. Let's be clear.

00:04:04
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:04:05
Speaker 2: Shit I did.

00:04:07
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy, Carlos, before I knew I was coming on with you, when I knew I was, do you remember I was offered the peach years ago, yes, years ago, this is and it's like I remember seeing right here in my living room with Ninnie and Greg, you know, talking about the peach. I'm like, Nope, I don't want it, and it's just crazy like it should have it could have happened then, but it just happened when it was supposed to be. And I remember the whole time you've been in my producer, I'm like, but wasn't they getting a peach? Why am I not getting the peach? And just hearing the nose, just hearing you know what, you just never would have one. You're not there, tight, They're just they're not giving you one. You remember some days you told me that some seasons.

00:04:48
Speaker 5: I never said you would never get one, you never.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: Would get one, but you was just like, you ain't getting one.

00:04:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, No.

00:04:54
Speaker 3: I definitely said to you you were like, can I get a.

00:04:56
Speaker 4: Peach this season? I'm like, no, bitch, I don't think you're gonna get one this season? But what.

00:05:02
Speaker 1: The next season? And I don't know of all out.

00:05:05
Speaker 3: But I always advocated for you, because, again, what's interesting about your trajectory on this show is when we met season four, it was with the intention of you getting a peach. A lot of people did say to you, you will never get a peach. Some of those people were peach holders.

00:05:24
Speaker 1: Definitely, when me and Nini were going through it, she said it can you said it a thousand times and it was kind of you know, it was I've heard that thousand times from people, but those were definitely two of the peachholders that told me I would not be worthy. I'm not their type. You know your past, you know you screwed up, and just seeing it in the comments every day that was just hurtful. To one moment. At one point, I just was like, I never get one. It is what it is.

00:05:50
Speaker 2: I'm having fun.

00:05:50
Speaker 1: This is where I'm supposed to be at in my life, but I'm just not going to get that. That's where I think I just I accepted that, which was really bad to accept it and claim it.

00:06:01
Speaker 3: Obviously, you and Nini became really close friends season four on the show, and to hear that someone who even today you still consider a friend. Nini said this maybe last year as well. She did an interview with Hollywood Unlocked, and she says something along the lines, why would they give Marlo a peach when she will give them anything for free?

00:06:28
Speaker 4: And she really did say you will never get one.

00:06:31
Speaker 3: When you heard that, like real talkers, Me and you are close and I know you very well. You are very sensitive. So when you first heard her say that out of her mouth last year, how did you feel hearing that?

00:06:43
Speaker 1: You know what's really bad? I think this is bad to say, Carlos, and it's just being real with Ninya. You know, like you just told the people they don't know. I'm sensitive as shit. I come off as an asshole. I come off tough. I'll be crying, upset and my feelings like oh my god, go with NINNI it's kind of like your dad or your mom when it's like I'm just used to her. And don't get me wrong when I say that, I'm just I'm used to Ninni. It's like that's who I started off with. It's a lot of it's a lot of good and it's some bad there. The good is what I always say, and I'll say this, no matter what. She fought for me all the time. She made sure money was in my pocket, She made sure I was on trips that I wouldn't have been invited to. And I don't care if she was using me or not, Like I tell anyone, I'll always respect her for that because me growing up, the little poor black girl in the projects, to have this platform to make the thousands and dollars I've made, and you know things that she got me involved with. I thank her for that. But do I agree with the things she say? No, But guess what, that's her she's gonna. It's like dating a man who you know gonna throw shade at you and dish you, but you know how to just kiss on you and fuck you real good, and then you be like, damn, I take him back, and it's like I'm just it may be bad. It's like I'm in that kind of relationship with her, like i know tomorrow she may see this and throw shade at me, when deep inside, Nini knows my heart, she knows I'm a great person. She knows I'm sensitive as shit. But some people just there who they are and it is what it is. I accept the food she is.

00:08:17
Speaker 5: No, that's interesting because I know Nini for oh my gosh, sixteen years.

00:08:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is everything you say. Like me and Nini had our ups and downs. I'm still blocked on Twitter by Nini, but it doesn't but we're but we're fine. Like she she and I were texting two weeks ago, and she said the sweetest thing to me. She congratulated me on the podcast on my late night show and own like, one thing you and I know about Nini and let's have a real conversation, Patrese.

00:08:45
Speaker 2: Scout, let's got, Let's got.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: Nimi really is a sweetheart, and she has a sweet heart. She's also very sensitive too. And one thing that you and I both know about Nini is you're right she she sometimes says things that you're like, damn bitch, Like that's that's low key shady. I would never say that about you, never, And it does hurt. But you also feel like maybe she was in a bad mood that day because you don't know.

00:09:17
Speaker 1: What you're gonna get with her.

00:09:18
Speaker 2: You don't know what mood you're gonna get what day.

00:09:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's funny because we saw you too recently take a picture together at a birthday party. When you first saw her, what did y'all say to each other?

00:09:29
Speaker 1: Well, I saw her earlier. No, I didn't see her earlier. There, I saw her, but she didn't see me. But at the birthday party when I was there, I saw her coming towards me. And I'm just that one thing about it. When I see Nini, she knows cameras or not. I'm like, what's up? Album? Cursini ask out if it's just us? Nini knows that because I don't see her as the TV meanie. I see her as my friend, a person who I've told a lot of things to. She's the same age as the boys mom, so I see her as someone I look up to. She made a way for us, you know, for the girls. We look up to her in the reality world, But it was my cousin Tom was with me, and.

00:10:03
Speaker 2: It was it was like, hey bitch, you know how Nini, I'm.

00:10:06
Speaker 1: My Hey bitch, are you doing? You look cute? And we just took it was like it was it's weird because she'd be she was just talking about me, about me with the fur coats, and we see each other just like it's like in the black community, you know it's the issue in the house, but you don't talk about the shit. It's just like I, I don't even I don't have the energy for it. It's like, that's my big sister. That's leaps I expected, you know, I don't expect anything else.

00:10:31
Speaker 3: A lot of fans have wondered if Nini is jealous of you because you do have a peach and she doesn't.

00:10:38
Speaker 1: I don't think she's jealous. I think it was a surprise, like it was to me. I think it was a surprise to her. I think it was one to King. It was a surprise to everyone the whole world. Shit, I was shocked. I don't think she's jealous, though. I feel like whatever she's going through, that's something she's going through. But as in she was shocked. I just feel she's shocked that I got there. I think everyone's like.

00:10:58
Speaker 4: Damn as she ever said, congratulate relations to you.

00:11:00
Speaker 1: She is not yet, but I can't wait. She has not I don't even think she's been thinking about it, but she definitely hasn't given me a text congratulations. I want a gift, though, because she got by good gifts, so I wanted to buy me like a good gift. Hint, hint, y'all letting me know. I want to buy me a good gift and take me to eat, but finally get my damn peet.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the moment you found out that you were going to be a peach holder. I know the story because obviously I'm friends with the producers, but I don't think the world has heard this. So tell the world where you were how you found out that you were a peach holder.

00:11:36
Speaker 1: Carlos, I'm, you know, to get a burken It takes for ever, months and years to get a Burken, right, and I was waiting on getting the thirty five. I had been on the list forever. Not forever, but I had been on the list. So one day I'm in the house and I'm with my friend Guy Adrian. You haven't met yet, and we're we get the call and they're like, Marlow, your bag is in. I'm like, bitch, I'm on the way. So we hop in the car, put the top down on the roads, shops the butcket, walk in there, get my burken we leave out to go to the Mediterranean restaurant to go and eat tie. My manager. You haven't met her. She's like texting Adrian like, hey, Marlon needs to be home. And I'm like they just have a little baby. So I'm like, shit told us and started walking something like why is she stressing me to get home? So I'm like, should I have got my broken I need to be on my third cocktail, you know, just something with this orange box over here.

00:12:31
Speaker 2: So I get home, I'm like all right, Agrian's.

00:12:32
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what it is. I'm like, Adrian, what is He's like, I don't know. I'm like, shit, do I got a new car? This? Someone buy me a car?

00:12:38
Speaker 2: I haven't dropped off. I don't know what it is.

00:12:41
Speaker 1: So I get home, pulling the driveway, I press the opener, you know, in the car to open the garage and shoy the cameras come out. Joy Joy your girls. She's in the garage. Who else is in that? Lauren and Lorraine is on FaceTime and they can come out with all these like two dozens of peach roses and I'm like, but Carlos, you don't know though. This shit was so like it was like I don't even I can't even cry. I don't think. I was like, it was like, what the fuck is going on? It's like it was a moment I've been wanting for years to where it was so real, like I don't even think I even accepted it. Then, I'm like, what is going on? It was like my heart was beating. I was just I was shocked. The boys were looking like they were shocked.

00:13:27
Speaker 2: It was just a lot.

00:13:28
Speaker 1: It was a lot, but it was a great moment. Now that I finally accepted it and looked back, I'm like, oh my god, that was just a burken and a peach in the same damn day. Am I not a child of God or what.

00:13:40
Speaker 5: You're blessing? Holly favored? Yes, Marla Patrie.

00:13:43
Speaker 3: So look, you said earlier you constantly turned down the peach and you didn't want it. So what happened to where you finally did want it like, was there a moment that happened during those seasons that you said, you know what, fuck this, I do want to hold the peach, you.

00:13:59
Speaker 1: Know what it is. I didn't turn it down constantly. I turned it down once. I was only off the peach once and I turned it down.

00:14:05
Speaker 4: Okay, but I wasn't.

00:14:06
Speaker 1: I mean, Carlos, we have to admit not me bragging, but you know this show didn't blow me up. I was already blown up when I came on the show. You know. I was that girl. Fact Like when Princess came around, She's like, hey, we heard you're fabulous. And then they even filmed that my boutique, the Red Carker. Remember I remember everyone filmed there. So I've always been that girl here in Atlanta, and I just feel after a while when I was dating at the time, I was dating Charles Grant. At the time, I wasn't thinking, I know, peach, i'body, what are these girls doing this reality show? You know, bitch, I be in Paris at the fashion shows. I really shop, I travel, you know, you know I got the first fucking ask the Martin in the A. So it's like these girls, they're cute, come on and give my boutique a little publicity. You guys are cute and media and candy, so then as But I'm just saying because they filmed at the you know, they filmed at the store. I don't even remember what who the other girls were at the time. So as years went by, I was like, you know what, everyone's talking about this peach. It was like the title mattered at the time. The time didn't matter to me. I'm like, bitch, I'm that girl fucking peach title. So as the years went by, I'm like, you know what, I have a fan base. People really loved me. Oh my god. It was just it was different. It was like, oh my god, they deserve to see more of me than just oh she did an older white man of old the clothing. So and know what, I'm gonna be honest with you too. The fans did deserve it, but shit, I deserved it too, because one thing, you know, I give my all. I remember one time we were filming where were we at in the woods, and you remember me and ken You was getting to it and ken You was like nine, see nine, baby, that's a read.

00:15:46
Speaker 2: I would never forget. I even told Eric about that read.

00:15:50
Speaker 1: We were sitting out there and Key was like, I'm not giving her any she just wants a peach. And you was like, bitch, y'all sitting here in your fashion over outfits and you go, you're gonna give any bitch you need something something. You cursed us out so bad to her. I'm like, this bitch is crazy. He'siety y'all.

00:16:08
Speaker 5: Back up, marlow you're talking about a story. We were filming season night lamping and you and Kenya were.

00:16:14
Speaker 4: Having a heated discussion.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: Kenya said out loud, I'm not giving Marlowe anything.

00:16:19
Speaker 4: And what did I do?

00:16:21
Speaker 1: Bitch? You came in there, you said, no, bitch, you're gonna give her everything she wants because y'all all sitting here in these fashion over outfits. I did have on fashion Over, though I remember saying I was scared to say something. But when you did say, I'm my bitch, I ain't called fashion over these bitches do not me. Your answer was when I tell you you were a one for the records, baby, And now Lord Jesus Eric come in and cursing us out like you too, Jesus Christ.

00:16:50
Speaker 5: Hey, it's tough being a producer on the reil.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: Oh Jesus, you came down and you like story.

00:16:59
Speaker 1: I'm about y'all closed. I don't give a damn about how important you think you are. Bitch, get here and tell y'all true story, and let me tell you Carlos.

00:17:08
Speaker 2: Carlos, y'all listen. He'll come to everybody room.

00:17:11
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Marlin, I love you, I love you this and talk that bitch loved all of us. Bitch, He'll go the room and love them, and then we get to tell you and cursing each other out, and it's like, wouldn't be so mad at him here? Like, well, at lista told your true story. Bitch got good TV, right, at least I got your bitches to work.

00:17:33
Speaker 4: And ladies and jumps.

00:17:35
Speaker 3: Man, that's how you produce a reality, Reality with the King.

00:17:40
Speaker 1: Baby reality with the King, because that bitch do not care. Your ass is one of a kind, baby one I love.

00:17:47
Speaker 4: That's such a good of Marlot.

00:17:49
Speaker 3: We have so many good stories to tell from us being in Africa together too, to season nine and listen, I want to say this to you and I want the world to hear this straight from my mouth. You are a star. You are a star before a camera ever recorded you. And although I know and I'm not gonna get emotional right now, because I feel like you're so misunderstood, you are such a loyal person to you and I have had dinners together, just you and I, We've had personal conversations. I love you so much that even when I felt like, Okay, she may not get a peach, I tried to develop shows for you because I was so confused as to why this woman doesn't have the career on reality TV that her counterparts do because she's such a star. And I know what it was like for you to listen, let's keep your funky.

00:18:44
Speaker 4: I know how hard you had it.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Because what people don't know is when you don't have a peach, sometimes that can.

00:18:51
Speaker 4: Be used against you.

00:18:52
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

00:18:53
Speaker 3: You know, oftentimes the peach holders may not respect you. They will say things like I'm not gonna give you a moment. You're peachless, you're impeached, you know, having a peach.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: I thought for this. I did, because you know they were.

00:19:06
Speaker 4: But not only did you fight for them all ogg I have to cut you off.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: Not only did you fight for it, you really dealt with people. Let's be real, not respecting you, because you did not have one talk to me about what it felt like to.

00:19:22
Speaker 4: Be on a show that long and still feeling like you were a stepchild.

00:19:27
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna be real with you because you one person I can be real with and don't have to try and think about shit. So to be honest with you, Carlos, all those years. At first, I was cool with it, you know, it's like, oh, it's fun, I'm that girl. But as I stayed around and I learned the ropes and I saw how it works, it fucking killed me. It drained me, like emotionally because I would see girls come who I know were not as worthy, who did not put in this amount the work that I put in, who is not as faithful to the network like I I am, who's not as faithful to the friends that I was to and I put the fucking work in. Am I idva? Yeah? My extra Yeah? But I'm loyal to who I mess with and who takes care of me. So it took me back to that space of like being a foster child, Like hey, you're a foster child. You'll never be good enough for us, your ghiddo. It took me back to God, why did you have me grow up to get in trouble? Like, are they not giving me the peace because I went to jail? Are they not giving me the piece because I said the F word? I just questioned myself, why why am I not worthy? Why do you feel these other girls are better than me? And then it got to a point that where it was I was numb to it, and I was like, scoop it. Whoever doesn't like me, whoever doesn't feel I needed God, I'm gonna just have to trust on you. It's not meant for me to have it. And that's why when I finally got it, I'm like, wow. But and I'm not even mad. I'm glad they gave it to me at the time they did, because it just let me know everything I went through it, people like, oh, she's not a peach holder. You will never be. You're not worthy else, sweetheart, I know I've already been told from the inside you would never have a peach. So it's like it's still so good, Like, fuck you, I got it, you know what I mean? I got it, And if it's just for one season, I got it.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: Bitch.

00:21:18
Speaker 1: I did it, Mama, I did it. You know, the little poor black girl from the hood. I did it, so I'm doing it. I'm gonna just give.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: It my all and my best, but I'm not gonna lie.

00:21:29
Speaker 1: It did hurt as time went by to see people come for one season, two seasons and be gone. I'm like, hey, I'm over here. I'm raising my hand, like do you see me? Can you just give me one? Try to? So it did hurt, but I wouldn't let a lot of people know. I still just that made me wear higher heels, better fashion, and be you know, just bring it even harder. But don't give up. My story is don't give up on It's not even that I was trying to get a peach. I didn't give up on being my authentic self. I didn't give up on getting mad, going to social media and you know, going against the people who I've worked with for years. I still did and I still just believed in me. It takes affirmations. It's takes looking in the mirror and being around people like you how you just said, Marlow, You've always been a star. It takes that small group of people like my manager Tian Justin, my best friend Schanta, and my cousin to say you are a star. They just don't see it yet. Baby, you know you're.

00:22:29
Speaker 3: Such a star that as I'm watching this season of the Real Hospitals of Atlanta, I told my audience, who I call my rain drops, I tell them you are the new face of the franchise and that they should call the show the Real Marlowe of Atlanta.

00:22:44
Speaker 1: Oh stop it, you.

00:22:46
Speaker 4: Did not I did?

00:22:48
Speaker 5: And listen and like you said five minutes ago, I.

00:22:51
Speaker 4: Love all the girls.

00:22:52
Speaker 3: You love us all, but I'm honest and that's why y'all love me.

00:22:57
Speaker 1: And one thing too, Carlos, I would sit here, like he said on an interview, Oh she thinks she's ninny. Maybe I can never be Niini, I can never be Kenya, I can't be King, and you only can be Marlowe. And I feel each and every one of us we add something different. And what I add is I'm always authentic. I don't know how to act. I'm not the best at acting. You know that you're not my fans. When you're listening to me, my shit is real. The only thing you made get is an edit from when they have to edit because I talk to damn much. But I'm so real because I just love my true.

00:23:29
Speaker 2: Self and I really never I just I've never really had.

00:23:32
Speaker 1: The acting background like II Kenya and Drew acts, you know, so they know how to throw in. They let acting career with it. I don't. So it's like I'm not trying to know. And I'm not even a shade assassin. I say facts like, you know, can you can read? But they she'd be sitting there reading. They're like, oh, yes, because that bitch gathered me. But what let me say? I come whatever? You know how bitch can read?

00:23:54
Speaker 4: She said that she's an icon and you are.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: I know how the fuck you said?

00:23:59
Speaker 1: Shut up? And I just bring it out my damn T shirts. Iconic icon Okay, iconic, x icon iconic x icon baby, Okay, so.

00:24:12
Speaker 3: You are an iconic ex con or iconic iconic. Now listen, you are showing the girls that you can have a checkered past, but through God's grace and mercy, you can achieve your highest calling.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: That part preach, Oh you're going to go out in the ministry.

00:24:32
Speaker 4: It is the King Jesus. I don't know, y'all. Y hey man, lord, hello, y'all.

00:24:40
Speaker 3: Stay tuned for more of my conversation with Marlow. We'll be right back after this quick break. This is Reality with the King and I'm Carlos King.

00:24:54
Speaker 4: Let's get back into.

00:24:56
Speaker 3: My conversation with Marlow. Marlow, this is your season. This is your season, and season Season fourteen is all about you. In my opinion, you are bringing something different to this season. And I told people, I said, the glory days of Atlanta, in my opinion, is gone like the Niini Phaedra Porscha. Can you you know, like Cynthia, those days are gone and it.

00:25:21
Speaker 4: Will never be the same. And that's fine.

00:25:24
Speaker 3: Let's focus on what this new refresh of the franchise can be.

00:25:28
Speaker 4: And as I'm watching.

00:25:30
Speaker 3: This season, you and Charie are a funny duo and you, Marlowe, You're.

00:25:36
Speaker 4: Coming for blood.

00:25:39
Speaker 1: I really see.

00:25:39
Speaker 2: I don't even see it as that I sit there being Marlowe.

00:25:44
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I don't even and some people like, can you are taking it real personal? Can you? It's like I don't even see it like that. I'm like, girl, this is just me for ten years, you know, I'm gonta say with hell. I'm thinking.

00:25:55
Speaker 3: So as I watched this past Sunday's episode, it was interesting because in New York City, Kinga gets a phone call from from Mark and without thinking, you rose up from the table to console Kenya and gave Kena this great advice. And in that episode, I'm like, wow, I love this friendship that Kenya and Marlow they have.

00:26:16
Speaker 4: But obviously we know that things changed throughout the season.

00:26:19
Speaker 3: But what happened to where as we watched this past week's episode, you and Kenya had this amazing friendship.

00:26:27
Speaker 4: So what what happened?

00:26:29
Speaker 5: Did you say something Mariolo that you weren't supposed to say?

00:26:31
Speaker 4: Child?

00:26:32
Speaker 1: No, I came on as well. I did learn from the best reality King. I'm learning a little safe from the reality king Baby. I got to make you proud, baby. But no, seriously, besides, Kenya needs a storyline because think about it, she only gonna talk about her and Brooklyn the whole time and Mark, Kiya has no storyline. And really you don't even see Kenya around. What is she really doing? Where did her money come from? Carlos, Let's be real the stuff Kenya comes at me. I'm like, girl, I started with you. You came over here, broke baby, it was rent the house in Marietta. You was over there painting the walls. You were struggling, but I'm just seeing. People don't keep it real. They think, oh, she came for Kenya. Carlos, you know me. When we came on this season, I was so excited Kenya was on Dancing with the Stars. I went about that cheap assed twenty dollars authentically looking at food, trying to like Rizzo. And guess what, ken you went even wear designer for me? Okay, she wentn't even were authentic.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: To designer till the Archives.

00:27:32
Speaker 1: Opening she went, So I went above Carlos, did you even know this? On one episode, I was sleep on her shoulder and the bus on the bus, we were sitting together, and Carlos, I'm not gonna lie you. It felt good having a relationship with that girl. But that girl, you cannot be her friend. She needs a therapist twenty four every day. She should see a therapist for a day. Kenya is, I'm torn, but she's fucked up. Seriously, she's fucked up, she really is.

00:28:02
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this.

00:28:04
Speaker 3: You're able to find grace for Nimi, right because, like you said, she has a sweet heart, but we know sometimes she says things and you be like, Damn, that was shady? Are you able to give that same grace to Kenya?

00:28:16
Speaker 1: Not again? No more?

00:28:17
Speaker 2: Because I came on this year.

00:28:20
Speaker 1: I came on this season around this group of girls, giving this girl my own and what they need to realize. Bitch, I'm a boss and I'm my own person, and I can be friends with whoever I want to be friends to. If you're my friend, Carlos, I'm gonna curse your ass. I tell you how I feel and bitch, I'll talk to you now you have and what I realized with our group of friends. Say, for instance, Candy, Oh, I thought for you to be on this show. I advocated for you. Why are you coming for me? Because, Bitch, at the time, if you say something wrong, I'm gonna call your ass. I see you as my sister. I don't see you as Oh that's Candy from Escape. I can't tell her how I feel. I'm not that girl, Candy.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: You should know that. Can I'm not whoever you want me to be.

00:29:02
Speaker 1: Can you dated Mark who told your ass off left and right? Who would get you gather you? How do you want a friend who can't just curtlous? You know I would tell you off. You would tell me off. I know your best friend when you went through shit and fucked up doing life, your best friend would curse you the fuck out right, And I ain't even saying the best friend, no joy exactly, so she would curse your ass out. So it's like, how do you have best friends and good friends who can't keep it real with you?

00:29:29
Speaker 2: But look at you now and y'all still cool right.

00:29:34
Speaker 1: Exactly? And she didn't sugarcoat. They don't want you to be real. Their family and their men make them feel like, oh baby, there she's jealous of you.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: No, bitch, where's the lie?

00:29:45
Speaker 1: Where is the lie? Whatever I'm saying, point out the lie and then call me a liar.

00:29:51
Speaker 2: I don't.

00:29:51
Speaker 1: I don't shade all like everybody else, but bitch, I say facts. I stay facts, bitch, and I say what's on my mind.

00:29:58
Speaker 2: So if you don't want.

00:29:59
Speaker 1: To on my mind, if you don't want to hear the facts, stay over there with whatever you hear lies.

00:30:05
Speaker 3: That's a good point where I loo, yes, Okay. In this past episode, we saw that Candy have vibrating panties and you, Charae and Kenya are single ladies and y'all felt very uncomfortable being around other men who can control your but jj and your stimulation and your orgasic. Yes, and you said to Candy, listen, I know you're into sex. That's your thing, but there's a time and a place for it. And what I felt in that scene between you and Kenya and Candy was it's just it was just inappropriate to have other husbands control y'all stimulation and your je jays.

00:30:41
Speaker 1: I ever agreed with Kenya that shit was so inappropriate. And bitch, I ain't got the best ed kit, but I don't want your man a buzz it not damn. But I know, I'm like, are you serious? I barely want anybody buzz it? Take me shopping? Shit, I don't nobody buzz it. Like that's disgusting, that's tacky. And if Candy was just focused on now, say if we went there and she was like, Hey, I'm gonna teach you guys all how to contribute to a play and become a producer, how to get a restaurant, do some shit for the black culture. We got enough babies and diseases out here. We don't need to those ship up about sex. Candy you then fuck you fucked out in Atlanta? Okay, and I have plenty too, like you say, But girl, get a seminar on teaching us how to get all this money like you, so we can be the first. How you want to be the first? All these other black women that support you and look up to you want to be a first as well. So if she would do shit like that is like, girl, this is just silly what you're talking about. Your man is complaining he needs sex and you trying to get him to vibrate us. Get you sound stupid, You sound crazy. You just a fool.

00:31:51
Speaker 2: And if ain't nobody in your click told.

00:31:54
Speaker 1: You you sound stupid, you just sound stupid. Okay, so listen.

00:31:59
Speaker 3: I heard that you and Candy really get into it this season. One thing that I think is interesting, and you tell.

00:32:07
Speaker 4: Me if I'm wrong. I feel like you guys you sharene Kenya because I'm watching this season. I'm loving it.

00:32:13
Speaker 3: You guys are definitely holding Candy accountable. I've heard that a lot of the reasons why you guys are holding her accountable is because you guys feel like Candy coast through these seasons and not work hard for the big check. She gets, and you guys want to make sure she worked for that check.

00:32:31
Speaker 1: Ye the same way you felt when she when you were producing. Yep, exactly feel the exact same way, and it's the same thing with her. But I made sure. I'm my bitch. Do not think because you advocated for me to get a peach that you are off limits. If you asked, Kendy, you gonna work for this goddamn check the way you work for every other job. You'll your parts for your plays, your restaurant. You're gonna work for this Bravo check. It's not gonna be just I can't you know she wanted to come and give a look a bit and feel.

00:33:00
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I'm too good to know that you're not.

00:33:03
Speaker 1: Ni.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: I'm sorry we're getting any of a different platform. NI started, you didn't start, Okay, So what you're gonna do.

00:33:10
Speaker 1: You're you paid, You're paid more than me, and you're gonna work for this shake. I'm not gonna be over here, damn stressing out and you're getting paid more. You just sitting over here chilling. No, bitch, this is still your job. This platform brought you back, and let this platform know that you love them and You're gonna give your true story and your realness, and it is what it is.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: I'm holding all of my God and King.

00:33:34
Speaker 1: You don't even know. I love when her ass read me, when she'd be shady, No, she don't even know.

00:33:39
Speaker 5: I saw that in the premiere episode Ala Archive.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: We saw that. Listen. This is the thing that I want the fans to know. And this is me being a producer for all those seasons. One thing about the real house spots of Atlanta cast members, whether you're a peach holder or friend of y'all respected.

00:33:55
Speaker 4: When a cast member gives.

00:33:58
Speaker 3: A good read like it low makes I feel like that was good.

00:34:04
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Oh that bitch got me. I'm gonna get a bag and I'm like, oh, I be one a carr but I be's so dysfunction and delusional. I wanting to call and say, ooh, bitch, you got me. She don't know I'm from Florida. Bitch me and my girls be rolling. Keep reading, bitch, you're even embarrassing me. Keep reading me, because I'm gonna keep I'm keeping you a check. O give me ten percent every time you read me. She give me ten percent because you won't read nobody else. She loves reading me. I think I'm the girl. Can you really want it to be? Or it's Kenya is mad because she feels I'm like the girl with the basket. I worked so hard to be where I'm at, and this girl Marlowe is there.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: She's mad with God. Can you stop being mad?

00:34:46
Speaker 1: Baby? My story is written. You believe in God. I believe in him. Don't be mad at that man for putting me while I'm mad because no matter what you say, summer, no matter what you say, summer, let me tell you something. I I work my ass off for this position, and you and I have the exact same platform, and we report to the exact same boss, bitch, and guess what. Your story was just different from mine, but guess what My story is written. Baby, So keep shavy because I love it. Keep doing what you do, Stay home, hidding in the closet in the library reading me. It's good. I love it. That's what you're known for. And I'm gonna stay being authentic and reading your crazy, delusional ass.

00:35:28
Speaker 2: Barlow Hello, Hello.

00:35:32
Speaker 4: You are everything. I know you love it. I know you love it.

00:35:34
Speaker 3: This list, it's all good, It's all fund shade so are we able to see what's going on in your personal life.

00:35:40
Speaker 4: We see the situation going on being a Monty, which.

00:35:43
Speaker 3: By the way, Marlowe on the record, thank you for showing that you have full custody of them. And it's beautiful to see that you are raising two black men who statistically could have ended up on the streets in a life of crime, and you decided to not be selfish. Because one thing I know about Marlow, Marlow loves to wake up, get us a rock mimosa, eat lobster and shrimp for breakfast, and hop on a flight, hop on a flight, and you know, and luxuriates, you know, in her home.

00:36:12
Speaker 1: When the boys came, I fell off, bitch. I fell off, bitch for real. I was wearing sweats. I was because look, Carlos, I'm thinking when they came, I'm like, oh, it just be a flight a week or two. I'm like, wait ya, I gotta be honest, cause I'm like, it's been a month, It's been two when y'all at.

00:36:35
Speaker 4: But now it's beautiful to see Marlow. Credit due to you, Mama.

00:36:39
Speaker 3: Because I know a lot of people who unfortunately would have allowed those two black boys to be in the system.

00:36:45
Speaker 5: And all jokes aside, and we're talking with a lot of fun shake.

00:36:48
Speaker 3: I want to give you your props that as a black man who grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and I come from a two parent household, but some of my friends did not.

00:36:57
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, I.

00:36:59
Speaker 3: Look back on some of my friend and so I grew up with and they have fallen to the life of crime because they did not have an active parent. So all jumps aside, I just want to say, on the record, thank you for saving those boys live.

00:37:10
Speaker 4: And I know it's not easy, not at all.

00:37:13
Speaker 1: And any advice you have, seriously, Carlos, I feel since I've had the voice, I beg people the most. I'm like, any advice you have, it takes a village, because every day I wake up, Carlos, if I've never prayed, you know, I love my Bible. I make sure I pray before I look at Instagram. I'd be like, Lord, help me with these boys. Let me make the right decision. Let William and Michael be just amazing, because I still sometime be like, this is my responsibility, Like at eighteen, if they go to college, whatever decisions they make, I'm going to feel like it's on me, even though I got them three years ago. But it's like, I'm scared, Carlos, It's scary. So I can only imagine being a parent who birthed them because I love them to death and I'm tough on them and I want them to read. I want them to like right now, William, he's fucking brilliant, smartest shit, just lazy as hell. So I'm like, look, every day you get up for one hour, you read and you get a B or higher on your I ready?

00:38:13
Speaker 4: What's I ready? I'm an old man. What's that I ready?

00:38:16
Speaker 1: Is at school where they could do like reading or math and it times them and it gives them a grade. So I'm like, every day in the summer, I don't care. We're not off in the summer, buddy, where every day you read an hour you need to have a B or higher. So Carlos, I congratulate me, and I just ask for the prayers whoever is listening to love, the support on what to do for the summer for them, any advice because it's no book for this shit. It's no book. When I'm working hard, I'm like, oh, I feel bad, like I'm ready to go to New York next week, and I'm like, oh, let me book them a flight. I want them to come, and what do you guys want to do? So I battle? Am I giving too much?

00:38:53
Speaker 2: Am I not given enough?

00:38:55
Speaker 1: And then I'm like shit, I came from nothing, and I go hard. So sometime I'm like, get outside, sit outsider. You're only gonna eat two of the fish and apples and water. Today it's like I battle. I go back and I'm like, oh, no, my babies, So it's no book and all mothers and fathers, I salute y'all because this shit is not easy.

00:39:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're doing it, mama, you're doing it. Speaking of doing it, who are you doing nowadays? Because we saw the episode you dated Jazzy Fag, which I already knew who.

00:39:24
Speaker 4: I was shocked that you were built of the world that.

00:39:27
Speaker 1: I was.

00:39:27
Speaker 5: I gagged that you I already knew that because.

00:39:29
Speaker 4: Me and you are friends. I was shocked.

00:39:32
Speaker 1: I tell you this, what you're gonna gag from. It's coming out with him, and it's just crazy how it just happened as a surprise.

00:39:38
Speaker 4: Stay tuned y'all heard that exclusively.

00:39:41
Speaker 1: Stay Tunes but yeah, Jazzy knew me when I first got catched up my little sister and he was around, remember that back in the days. Yeah, I told you about it, But yeah, I definitely did. I told the world about it. And you'll see him on the show.

00:39:54
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't wait to see that. I love Jazzy. He's such a good guy. He's never changed.

00:39:59
Speaker 1: I remember. I will tell you this. I remember when I first met him. It was at a club on Roswell Road. I forgot the name of it was where Chef Robbs is and it was really hot in the club and I was trying to get a water because I didn't drink a lot then, and he was like, he was like, you know, he had me set coming over there bothering me.

00:40:17
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, Like, who are you?

00:40:20
Speaker 1: You know? Up from Saint Pete. I don't know, Jazzy Bay And I was like, I'm trying to get a water. What you want, buddy. He's like, oh, get her all the waters? Oh okay, okay, who are you buy me all the water?

00:40:33
Speaker 5: Bitch?

00:40:34
Speaker 1: Yes, Teddy's bitch. One of the best producers in the A.

00:40:39
Speaker 4: Okay, No, he's great. I love him. He's such a sweetheart, a sweet teddy bear. Jeene Simmons, Marlowe, shy.

00:40:47
Speaker 1: I knew your ass is gonna bring that up.

00:40:49
Speaker 4: How was the sex with Jeene Simmons? Honey? Did he wear the paint on his face when y'all did it?

00:40:53
Speaker 1: You did not hear me say I had no sex with? Do you shall? The motherfucker has that? Damn man? That man?

00:41:05
Speaker 4: I just want to know.

00:41:06
Speaker 3: Does he wear the black and white makeup on his face? Honey when y'all made out?

00:41:09
Speaker 1: I don't know, girl, No, but listen, but I will say that'd be tolling long as my body though.

00:41:16
Speaker 4: Sad.

00:41:19
Speaker 1: No, but he was really nice. We never had sex. That man is married, and one thing Marlowe him to would never date or mess with a married man. So let's be clear on that. Never. Yes, never and uh And if you guys want to know, let me tell you why. Because people always try and put me down. My mom, I felt, was always the second woman. My father was married, so that bothered me emotionally. Bitch, I'm too much to be number two. I'm too much. I gotta be number one. You can't hide me, bitch, I ain't a secret. So it's like lose that thought. I would never date anyone's husband. If I'm around you, your husband, try me. You would never know about it because I'm a curse him the okay, because my mom was too beautiful to play that position, and she.

00:42:03
Speaker 2: Did, and that bothers me.

00:42:05
Speaker 1: That bothered me as a child growing up, like how could you be number two to his wife? How could you be a secret? All? This can be a secret. This is too fabulous to be number two, which I'm number one.

00:42:17
Speaker 3: Who know, I have known you for so many years, and I've actually met some of the guys you were dating. Of all the guys that I met, none of them were old white men, Which is so funny that that seems to be attached to you. One of Marlow's men that I met, and excuse my language, he was a hood dude.

00:42:36
Speaker 5: Babe, shut out, he wasn't I listen. I've been on double day for Marlowe. It's never been an old white man. So I think it's interesting that that's been attached to you.

00:42:48
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny.

00:42:49
Speaker 2: Now, let's not get it twisted.

00:42:51
Speaker 1: I'll date any race, and I really do that. I hate to say this. I love my black men, but I see my husband being a man from a different kind because I feel my black man. I love him, but I'm too extra, I'm too much. But I love a hood ass nigga ain't gonna lie. I love old rappers, that football player I love. I love that gangster because guess what, that's where I'm from. Now, since I got Michael and William, I for some a little classier. I'll just cheat with something hood.

00:43:26
Speaker 3: You can't be the number two, but your man can be the number two.

00:43:29
Speaker 1: And look, I'm out of the African jeans. Then i'ma have about two husbands. I'm have the main one and the one I cheat. The way.

00:43:41
Speaker 4: Are you dating anybody right now?

00:43:43
Speaker 1: No, I'm not. But what I will tell you, I've been getting out now because I told Mike and William like, look, I need to give y'all three years. I'm gonna get out in these streets. I tell you to find y'all uncle, because I'm tired of being here being roof the man, then trying to be the feminine woman. I'm like, y'all need the unk up in this house.

00:44:01
Speaker 4: I love it.

00:44:02

Speaker 4: Season four, you got a chance to hear.

00:46:15
Speaker 3: Some exclusive stuff about how your boy produces ah a reality show, but more specifically the real hospitals of Atlanta. I mean, I forgot about that moment when I had to, you know, gather the girls and let them know, honey, it's time to clock in and cast them checks. Okay, because one thing Carlos King does not allow is a boring scene.

00:46:41
Speaker 4: We ain't doing that on no day, honey.

00:46:43
