9Though she’s no longer just a friend, an honorable mention must given to [[Characters/TheRealHousewivesOfAtlantaPostSeason5 the one and only Marlo Hampton]] who finally got her peach in Season 14. Marlo was the first official Friend Of introduced into the Atlanta series and occupied that position for many, many, MANY years. Her tenure as a Friend has established her as one of the most familiar faces for a non-full-time cast member in the entire Housewives universe.
