: Here is what Marlo sent s:
I am shocked and saddened to hear of the recent distortions of events and false accusations disseminated over an altercation I was involved in over a dozen years ago. It had been my preference, out of respect for the person involved, as well as her family, to not speak about this incident publicly, but the recklessness with which the story is being manipulated has forced me to come forward.
I was in my early twenties, and what took place started out as an argument with someone who was once my friend, over the phone. In the first incident, I was ambushed at my house and badly beaten. Though charges were initially filed, those charges were later dropped and I filed a restraining order. As disturbing as the carrying of a weapon may seem, it was quite common in the environment in which I was raised, and not only I, but also the person involved in the altercation, had each brought weapons to protect ourselves. There was a confrontation, her knife dropped, mine did not.
I was arrested and convicted of aggravated battery for which I served 6 months in jail. What is so disturbing about the false reports now circulating is that it was she, my friend, who appeared in court on my behalf and fought to reduce my sentence.
Like many people, I was deeply saddened by her untimely death - 6 years later - and shocked at the recent attempts to connect me to it. Ultimately, it does a disservice to her and her family, to guess and draw conclusions as to her state of mind when she committed suicide. Those reasons are obviously personal and painful and do not deserve to be speculated on for the purposes of entertainment or drawing readers to your site. She and her family remain in my prayers.
Although I do believe in 2nd chances I don't think marlo will be able live this down whether her actions contributed to this lady untimely death or not unfortunately that's the type of society we now live in......very judgemental....I think maybe instead of trying to justify yourself publicly on tv I think maybe in a more private setting such counseling troubled teens, or scared straight....we all have a past.
I'm especially sensitive to this topic bcuz I had a cousin that was killed in high school by another student when the change of class bell rang (she didnt see it coming)we were younger & later to find out she was pregnant. So females that are violently willing to fight using weapons need to be ready to except consequences that come alone with it. However if Marlo didn't actually contribute to this lady death she *** be blamed for the outcome but should be blamed for her cowardly ways do defending herself!
If marlo joins the show I will not watch it don't think she is sorry for what she did when she told nene about it she didn't seem to sad about it she is trash period I think she is full of *** if wendy ain't show them mugshots she would have neva fessed up to it gutter trash dipped in gold don't make it gold
you weren't there so U don't know what kind of women this girl was, Marlo might have been just defending herself, If it's your time to check out then her death was already plan this way before she came to this earth, it was God who took the hedge of protection off her head, so he has the last say so about her leaving.
