Shamari DeVoe: Marlo Hampton Crossed the Line
Shamari DeVoe dishes on her confrontation with Marlo Hampton.
Bravotv.com: What did you think of Marlo's makeover advice?
Shamari DeVoe: Unsolicited and uncomfortable advice. I think she probably thought she was doing a nice thing for me, but it's insulting to forcefully engage someone into a "makeover" first thing in the morning. Especially when they don't know you well... Marlo's style is known as being very fashionable, and I will never take that away from her. But I was put off at her approach and the fact that she basically was trying to make me a carbon copy of herself. I have said it 1,000 times and I will keep saying it: "I wear what I want!"
Bravotv.com: How did you feel about the results of Bitch Stole My Talent?
Obviously all of us are great at what we do! Cynthia and Eva are both fierce models, Nene and Porsha both have great personalities for hosting, Marlo and Tanya both have great style, and Kandi and I are both great singers! I think the results were fair based on what each lady brought to the table, and every single one of us are equally talented in different ways.
Bravotv.com: What was going through your mind when things got heated with Marlo?
At this point, I was just annoyed that grown women were so focused on what clothes I decide to put on my own body. I was originally just trying to express to Marlo and everyone else my feelings on her critique of my fashions. Once Marlo started taking jabs at me, the gloves were off! I can go back and forth with the best of them, but a line that should never be crossed is bringing my mother into our argument! And as far as her saying my voice is "awful"... child, I am not even going to entertain that foolishness. Tell that to those platinum record sales I have under my belt.
Bravotv.com: Were you surprised when NeNe came for Tanya?
I understood where Nene was coming from because of Tanya’s comment about the sunglasses that she purchased from her boutique. However, I do believe that Tanya loves all kinds of fashions and I do not think Tanya was aware of how she was coming off.
