Marlo Hampton will not be returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for Season 16 as she looks to embark on a “fresh start.” 

The reality TV star and fashionista told People that her contract with the hit Bravo reality TV series ended after Season 15 and now she’s focused on her future instead of reliving her past. 

Marlo Hampton’s Official Statement About Leaving ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’

My contract with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ ended when season 15 wrapped.

This break from RHOA is a fresh start, allowing me the space to participate in new creative entertainment projects focused on my future, and not reliving my past.

My nephews are transitioning into pivotal stages of their academic adolescence, and I am focused on my representation in their eyes and getting back to showing my multifaceted lifestyle of philanthropy, fashion, and fabulosity!

I am thankful for this amazing platform of Housewives, which has allowed me to bring awareness to foster care, my non-profit Glam It Up, Inc., and showcase my fashion showroom, Le’Archive.

I look forward to my continued relationship with Bravo and NBC Universal.
