#TUHYRF: Is Being An Opportunist A BAD Thing?

During a post on the Bravo blog yesterday, NeNe Leakes apologized for her less than favorable behavior at Kenya’s charity ball. But during this “apology,” she also called out the behavior of former friend, Marlo Hampton, branding her an “opportunist” (that is a word that’s been beaten to death this season):

Here’s something else I saw: (1) Did you see the opportunist that keeps coming around? (2) Did you see my friend just sit there and indirectly support this B.S.? I have worked with a lot of women over the years, and the one thing that it has taught me is that life is like an elevator — on your way up, you have to let people off! 

On her blog, Musings From The Boudoir (…), Marlo addressed NeNe’s anger at her friendship with Kenya:

 I’ve been called an opportunist, often! But honestly, who among us does not take advantage of opportunities that improve the quality of our lives and allow us to realize our dreams? Who among us doesn’t use our gifts, brains, beauty and talents to our benefit? Let she/he who lives in the glass house, (of delusions) throw the first stone at me. Unlike some of us, I don’t believe that there are people who “are not on my level!” Last I heard, God created all of us equal.

That “taste” of Hollywood is like fresh, sweet ice cream. The only problem is, eventually it will melt and the “taste” will fade leaving not even a linger of flavor…  Perhaps some of us should learn the meaning of humility because just like an elevator, the people you put off, might be the same ones you want to hold the door when you’re trying to get back on… Ijs!
