It’s a sad day whenever we lose a Housewife. It’s like finding out that Santa isn’t real or leaving behind a pair of underwear at a trick’s house because you can’t find them in the morning. Today, just before of the second part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion airs, we have lost Sheree Whitfield, the O.G. of the Atlanta Housewives. She, NeNe Leakes, and Kim Zolciak were the only three original members left, and now it’s down to two. It’s sad watching our little chicks fly out of the nest, especially when they fall to the ground and are eaten by a fox.
Sheree released a statement saying, “After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness.” Really, Sheree? That’s why you’re leaving? The fighting? I’m sorry, but Sheree Whitfield is potentially the best fighter on any of the Real Housewives many franchises. She’s quick with an insult, not afraid of anyone, determined that she’s right, and biologically incapable of not getting the last word. The fighting is why she stayed!
Other sources say that Sheree was fired or at least that she walked away from the show when she wasn’t offered as much money as Kim, who has her own spin-off Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding starting soon, or NeNe, who is currently guest starring on Glee.
No matter what happened to Sheree, we won’t have her next season. To celebrate her loss, let’s look at three of here best fights which, as far as I’m concerned, are classics of the genre. Sheree says she is fielding other offers. Let’s hope that she finds a new televised boxing ring soon.
