Marlo Hampton shades Kenya Moore’s ‘Party City’ wig
“Bye, wig!” is what Marlo Hampton has to say about Kenya Moore’s blond hairpiece worn in a slew of Season 15 confessionals of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. While the former Miss USA experiments with wigs, Hampton is “proud” of her, but not of the “horrible” wig from Party City, as she puts it. “I just think it was an epic fail. It just was a no,” says the Le’Archive founder. Hampton goes on to beg Moore not to wear the wig again and advises her to consult with her next time she plans to test out a new hairstyle.
Hampton and Moore have had hair-raising drama on “RHOA”. Most notably, the ladies clashed in 2019’s Season 12 when Moore crashed a launch party for Hampton’s HER wig line with a full marching band, chanting, “Kenya Moore Hair Care!” At the time, Moore touted the benefits of her hair products and credited them for the health and sheen of her natural tresses. While she was previously averse to wigs, Moore now wears faux manes on the reality show to “protect” her own locks. “I was surprised that she shared it with y’all because she’s been wearing wigs,” Hampton says. “I was just proud that she was able to be authentic with her fans and let them know, ‘I do have a haircare line but I also wear protective styles. I do wear wigs and pieces as well, ladies.’”
In the spirit of Pride Month, Hampton jokes that Moore “came out” as a wig wearer. “She came out! She was in the closet long enough,” she says with a laugh. “Bitch came out the closet, OK? Finally! Only took 10 years, but she came out the closet.”
The latest season of “Atlanta” marks Hampton’s second as a peach holder. For more TheFantasyTimes reality TV updates, tune in to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
Marlo Hampton is “proud” of frenemy Kenya Moore for experimenting with wigs while filming “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” — but isn’t a fan of the “horrible” blond hairpiece worn by the former Miss USA in a slew of Season 15 confessionals.
“Wait, that blond horrible wig? The one from Party City?” Hampton, 47, exclusively tells TheFantasyTimes Style, throwing light shade at her co-star. “That was awful.”
The Le’Archive founder adds, “I just think it as an epic fail. It just was a no.”
Hampton, 47, goes on to beg Moore, 52, to never don the wig again.
“No, don’t do it again. Thumbs down,” she says, emphasizing that the Kenya Moore Hair Care founder should “consult with Miss Hampton next time” she plans to test out a new ‘do.
