The newest Real Housewife of Atlanta, Marlo Hampton is sure to bring even more drama to the already tumultuous Atlanta cast.

Hampton, who is engaged to NFL star, Charles Grant, had a total of seven mugshots taken between 1999 and 2003.  Hampton has been arrested for everything from aggravated battery with great bodily harm to possession of a firearm, but says she’s not ashamed of her criminal past.

It has come to my attention that some of my past indiscretions have come to light… Let me first state that I am not ashamed of my past as that has helped me become a better woman today.  We all have a past and my hard-knock childhood in and out of the foster care system is a reflection on a bigger issue we are faced with here in America, a broken foster care system.  My present charge in life is to live with God in my heart and help young women especially from the foster care system avoid the challenges I faced.  I’m more then just what is being said of me and I have a story to tell.

Alright, I’ll buy that argument, Marlo.  If anything, your rough past has prepared you for dealing with the likes of NeNe Leaks!

Season four of the Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres this October.
