Marlo holding a peach makes RHOA fans nervous

The Real Housewives of Atlanta fans are wondering if Marlo Hampton is worth holding a peach after she delivered some shady low blows. In recent years, she and longtime foe Kenya Moore have engaged in a messy feud.

Marlo spends more time with the new and returning housewives now that she is a full-time cast member. Kandi Burruss and Kenya Burruss have had spats so far between Marlo and them. While Kenya always matches Marlo's energy and isn't afraid to challenge her, the two alpha women are constantly fighting.

Marlo earned her first peach after years of serving as a friend on The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 14. Since she's brought so many memorable moments to the franchise, many fans felt she deserved it more than anything else. Kenya and Marlo have a feud that hasn't been resolved. While judging Porsha William's "stripper game" scandal in season 13, the two enjoyed a short truce. Marlo and Kenya returned to throwing shade at each other after Porsha left the show ahead of season 14.

Shade-throwing from Marlo hasn't been too popular with viewers this season. Her below-the-belt insults have brought Kandi to tears and mocked Kenya's divorce, causing fans to criticize her. Marlo's full-time spot is being debated as the season progresses. Fans were asked if they think Marlo should be demoted back to being a friend next season, or if she should keep her peach next season.

The Redditor credited Marlo for "bringing the drama" to season 14 by continuing to go guns blazing at Kandi and Kenya." A fan explained that they have mixed feelings regarding Marlo staying on as a full-time character. She's good in small doses, but I love her shade but she'll fight dirty," they said.

Marlo also featured her two young nephews on the show, which the fans found uncomfortable. Several Redditors said Marlo should return to her friend role if she only takes low digs at other ladies and exploits her nephews. Marlo's performance at the upcoming reunion might determine whether her second season peach will be as good as her first season.

The producers explained that if she doesn't get completely demolished, i.e., has a neutral performance and occasionally good clapbacks, she will at least get another season. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with Marlo, but she isn't favored by fans.

The transition of Marlo from a housewife to a celebrity is still in its infancy. Fans are still willing to give her a chance despite all her efforts as a friend on the show. There has been a lot of drama this season from the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, and whether fans like it or not, that is the main reason they watch the show.

She may need to switch up her shade-throwing, or viewers will call for her removal from the show. Kenya has been warning that she's ready to unleash on her foe, and Kandi is likely to add her voice to the chorus. For now, she has a reunion show of reads to prepare for.
