The cast of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” jumped at the chance to help Marlo Hampton with her new Black Lives Matter PSA — with one exception.
“Look, I sent out text messages to all of the ladies and they all got back to me — except Kenya [Moore]. So if you got back to me, great. If not, oh well, that’s fine,” she told Page Six.
”I have and two nephews: Micheal, 12 and William, 11, and I already gave them ‘the talk’ when it comes to dealing with the police,” Hampton, 44, continued.
As far as how the BLM movement has pushed a conversation around police brutality into the national spotlight, she says, “A change is coming now. It’s not gonna happen overnight but it’s coming. I feel we all have to continue to stick together as one and just keep doing what we’re doing. Let them know that we’re serious — keep protesting, keep speaking out.”
However, Hampton admits that she has struggled with that last part. “I’m guilty of it. There are times when I don’t say something because I feel like I may lose my job or may not be considered for this or that particular brand.
“We just have to stop being afraid. We have to get comfortable with getting uncomfortable.”
