Sheree Whitfield is looking to make a major power move and rejoin the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta after a few years off. But Whitfield will only grab a peach under one condition; she has to be made a full-time cast member.
Whitfield was one of the OG housewives on The Real Housewives of Atlanta who brought the drama during her time on the show. Bravo fans know her as the mother from season 1 to season 4 before leaving for a break. She did end up returning to the show as a friend of the housewives in season 8. Then, in season 9, she was once again given a juicy peach before calling it quits. Whitfield's first run on the show showed her going through a divorce from Bob Whitfield. The Atlanta native had altercations with numerous co-stars, including Phaedra Parks, NeNe Leakes, and Marlo Hampton. Now, she may be looking to getting herself back in the mix.
A source close to production spoke to TMZ and shared that Whitfield would like to come back. She is looking to be guaranteed a full-time spot by Bravo, or there is no deal; i.e., she wants to make sure she has a lot of screen time after a couple of seasons away. The idea could work since Whitfield is looking to marry her fiance, Tyrone Gilliams, who also happens to be an ex-con. A wedding on the show could help the ratings out.
Sources told the outlet that Whitfield had been talking to producers for the past several weeks, but nothing has been officially confirmed. Supposedly, it is looking good for her return on season 14, and Whitfield could have a great storyline. Gilliams just was released from prison earlier this year. He was sentenced to 10 years in 2013 for wire fraud, but was let out early due to the coronavirus. Whitfield has made it clear to producers that she wouldn't even think about coming back if Gilliams couldn't be a part of the show. Gilliams is currently on parole in Philadelphia, so he would only be on the show when Whitfield visits.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta has yet to start filming, but there have already been rumors that Cynthia Bailey may be bowing out. This past season showed the tension between the women, and Porsha Williams is said to have been given her own three-episode spin-off after she announced she was engaged to Simon Guobadia. Only time will tell who will be given the peach and how messy the new season will be.
