I have recently turned into one of those women who putter in their gardens. Well okay, I won’t be puttering for awhile, as I am still in the dig up roots and fight the battle of the day lilies stage. But in a few weeks, I will be able to get a manicure that lasts and putter around perhaps with a mimosa in hand and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I mention this here because I’m gonna need you to make use of my email (tamaratattles@gmail.com) and keep me informed when I miss something. Yesterday I missed something. Something disturbing. I suppose it is my fault. I sort of gave up on reading the Bravo blogs quite some time ago. It seems to me that very little that is blogged seems genuine. Plus the RHOA are not really consistent in their blogging, due at least in part to the fact the blogs are so heavily edited for content rather than just grammar. So imagine my surprise when I peeked in at the blogs today and saw one from Marlo.
The RHOBH blogs this season had included the “friends of the housewives” Pam and Brandi on the blogroll. But until just yesterday, Marlo has been thankfully absent from the Bravo site. Until yesterday. Yesterday, her blog ghost writer, apparently the same one she uses for her personal blog, showed up to write some sort of ridiculous recap of the episode. WHHHHHHYYYYYYYY???? The only slightly interesting thing she mentions in the blog is that she has known Lawrence for ten years. Here we go again with cast members pretending they have known each other for years. Marlo was still posing for mugshots in Tampa ten years ago. I know Miss Lawrence has been saying he’s been doing hair since he was 15 but he went to high school here, in Georgia. He’s never lived in Tampa. Why do these people feel he need to pretend they know everyone? Why does Miss Lawrence allow this? Why doesn’t Miss Lawrence have a blog?And if that was not enough, yesterday for the first time ever, @BravoTV tweeted some nonsense about a pictorial of “Marlo through the years.” There are all these smiley baby pictures and family pictures with no label making one wonder whether the woman who clearly looks like Marlo is Marlo or her mother. The tweet said something about Marlo being a fashion setter even as a child. I thought Marlo was in foster care? Who are these people in the “family photos”? Unless she IS the mom, she sure looks like the mother in the picture. so it’s not a foster mother. There is a picture of her and Charles Grant despite the fact that she lied to Bravo about the two of them being engaged. Oddly, Bravo did not include any of her seven mugshots in the retrospective of Marlo’s life. Go figure. I did tweet the concept of a felon fashion retrospective to @bravotv but they have not yet replied.
This better not mean that they are going to bring in Marlo. If they are keeping Nene, I have been saying that they will have to bring in someone who is willing to film with her and put up with her ridiculousness. There is not a plethora a choices for casting that role. My understanding was that Marlo was supposed to be a housewife last season but was edited out as much as possible and only left in at all because she went to Africa and editing her completely out of that would have been impossible. So now, is it possible that they bring her in full time next season? Please.God.No.
Please email me the tea I am missing by having a life (just for awhile) and understand if I don’t blog every little thing. Sigh, time to let the felon fans start singing her praises in comments…
Bravo is ruining lots of lives1st Russell Armstrong suicide2nd Tamra Birney's divorce3rd Kim Richard's privacy 4rth Tayolr going crazy and many more to count. Hampton is dangerous to the network.She will hurt someone .Let go …she does not belong on tv.She's trashy,,,she's a CRIMINAL.
Marlo is a danger to Bravo.
Well sorry to say I wouldn't be surprised by Bravo bringing Marlo back as a full housewife. They have already shown the depths to which they sink with RHOBH. They let Trashy put out these lies about Russell which I think contributed to his suicide. Then they let her tell her BS story about the abuse that happened in her head or that she did to Russell and said he did it to her. Keeping Trashy same thing as keeping Marlo, both disgusting filth that should be obliterated from my viewing pleasure. Don't expect I will be the Bravo TV addict I used to be, they have gone way to far for my taste, I don't like having to reside in the gutter for my entertainment.
FYI, Perez hasn't written that blog for years. Marlo is an equal opportunity ho when it comes to making money. Also if Bravo got rid of all the women who get their money from whoring themselves out for money we'd lose more than just Marlo on RHOA and nearly all of RHOC and RHONJ.
It's the violent felonies that set her apart from the common riffraff of the other housewives.
I heard from Perez Hilton that they may not be bringing her back because of her scandalous past and present as a "escort girl". We'll see. She's known for only dating white, rich & older men to support her lifestyle. Supposedly, they don't want another season with someone of that background on the show.
Love the bra planter…
Kim is pregnant again, so they are going to have to bring someone in to bring some drama. Kim will not be going on any trips and she will probably will not be participating much with group activities. Marlo already has a connection to the women and we don't know what happened at the reunion. I'm sure production was not expecting Kim to be pregnant again!
^^That's where I'm at too Anon2:37
The season is almost over anyway! If Kandi doesn't come back i'm not watching.
I'm loving the pink bra with the plants in it. Love love loving it.

Tamara, maybe they will have Marlo as part of the "cast" next season? Not an "official" housewife but part of the cast like Brandi and whats her face (Pam) from RHOBH? I think she will return for another season, but will not be part of the opening credits. she'll be a "friend" of the Housewives. Unlike Brandi Glanville, who I suspect will become an official HW, Marlo really doesn't have a fan base. If she returns it will be in the same capacity as this season.
Like I said in the article, Marlo has not has ANY presence on the Bravo site other thant appearing in teasers and group photos. Other friends of the housewives from other franchises have had blogs their whole season. Marlo was very conspicously EXCLUDED. Until the day this blog (which says basically nothing) appeared and that same day a bunch of random pictures from her past were posted.That has me wondering why at this late date, just after contracts have been signed, she suddenly has been given attention. It doesn't bode well for us getting rid of her.
Actually, lots of non-housewives get blog spots. Even Bethenny's wedding planner had one. So, I wouldn't look at that as a clear indication that she'll become a full-time ATL housewife.And NO, I'm sorry, but I won't give Marlo a shot at my affection. Things were barely "OK" and even NeNe said, "the past is the past… everybody has a past" but then Marlo bragged in South Africa "Girl, you better Google me & check my charges". That pissed me off, beyond words! If she's currently bragging about something so hideous, it's not "the past". I will never promote someone that arrogant and absent remorse. #BravoFAIL
I'm sorry you guys but Marlo is truly certifiable. We medicate and in certain situations have to physically restrain ppl. each night who have fewer issues than she has. She is a ticking time bomb, truly. Much more dangerous than many ppl. seem to understand, not your average everyday criminal. She's a sociopath.
marlo is ok with me. yes she has issues but they all do. at least she's more open about her issues. most of the others are just in denial.her blog is nice too.. ghostwritten? maybe, but her writer is great and if she's smart enough to get a great writer that's ok by me.
Probably to replace Sheree lol.
i want to give thanks to bravo. i have been saying that i am becoming more and more disenchanted with the entire real howives franchise, and find myself watching and/or caring, less and less. increasing the marlo role, spending more time with koo-koo kim, manufacturing drama for all the howives who dont really have any, while sucking all the life and fun out of the interactions of those who remain, has left such a dreary, boring bunch of women and storylines, that it will be only too easy to just give them up. ratings are way down for oc, and i suspect that they are dropping for each episode of atl as well. we viewers are not as stupid as bravo seems to think we are, and if we wanted completely made up scripted drama, we would all be watching the soaps. count me as over it.chitown shelley
Not a Marlo fan. Cannot handle the criminal past. Wish she'd leave (she's ruining my fav reality show).
Yep – I noticed she had a blog – but didn't bother to read it. I think BRAVO DESPERATELY wants her … but they are afraid of the backlash. People with stolen checks in their past is one thing – slashing someones face? Entirely another.I think she will be on RHOA like Dwight was for the next couple of seasons as a supporting faux-lebrity.
