AceShowbiz - Kenya Moore didn't hold back when it comes to speaking against Marlo Hampton. When dissing the latter in a new interview, the former Miss USA winner bragged about being an "icon" and called her "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star "ex-con."
The 51-year-old called out her co-star when sitting down with Michael Rapaport on "The Wendy Williams Show". Michael first told her, "Marlo was here, she says she finally got her peach... she says you, the Kenya Moore, you are jealous about her getting the peach."
Kenya couldn't help but laugh upon hearing what Michael said. "Jealous? That's really silly. I'm an icon, she's an ex-con," she confidently stated, before asking the audience, "Why would I be jealous? No, no, never."
Michael was caught off guard by Kenya's response, prompting him to ask, "Have you always been good at snapping? Like, have you always been good at talking crap?" The actress/model then answered, "Probably, yeah," while laughing.
Kenya has previously made it clear that she's not "jealous" of Marlo. When she's pressed with the question on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen", she asked back, "Well jealous of [Marlo for] what?"
"We all already know I have nothing to be jealous of," she emphasized. She went on to address Marlo's comment about her being a "has-been." She said, "Yea, I guess I am a has-been. I have been a former Miss USA, a college graduate, a beautiful mother of a daughter... I'd rather be a has-been than a never was."
Marlo and Kenya's beef has been heating up in the past few weeks. The former even brought up Kenya's argument with Cynthia Bailey during "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" getaway to Turks and Caicos. She argued, "She back-stabbed Cynthia, who's so sweet and has rode for Kenya for years? For her to betray Cynthia, I know you're not the friend for me."
