Marlo Hampton Apologizes to Gay Community for F-Bomb

January 30th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

If any of you watched last night’s episode of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” maybe you can tell me what was going on because for the last 7 minutes or so I had no idea.

Apparently amongst all of the yelling, screaming, and awkward sound effects between her and Sheree, she threw a shot commenting on Sheree’s gay friend whose party she wasn’t invited to, saying:

“Well anyway, that’s why you don’t have a man. Go and hang with them f*****s with your ugly A$$.”

Today she wrote an apology on her website stating that immediately after the incident she reached out to her close friend and assistant to apologize for her language and that she looks forward to continuing to build support with the gay community. You can read the full letter on the YBF, but here’s a snippet:

“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…

“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…”

Maybe at some point she can get around to apologizing to black women too because she was an absolute mess on last night’s show. Still, it’s good she saw the error of her ways and quickly corrected it when it came to the gay community.

Check out a clip of the argument here. Did you watch last night’s episode? Who do you think is wrong, Marlo or Sheree?
