On Sunday, May 1st, loyal The Real Housewives of Atlanta fans tuned in to see the highly anticipated return of iconic OG Shereé Whitfield. With longtime cast members Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey now absent from the franchise, Shereé fills the void as a favorite, familiar face. To the delight of Shereé’s fans, editors gave an impactful nod to some of her most iconic moments with a quick audio montage as she strutted her way back onto the RHOA scene.
Fans know that Shereé has stepped in and out of her Housewife role many times over the years, but they have never forgotten her most hilarious and iconic quotes. Whether she’s struggling to explain her business ventures or she’s firing a sharp clap back at a fellow housewife, Shereé’s return promises to provide all-new, hilarious moments.
A Cool Reaction At Kenya’s Housewarming
“Oooohh! Ooooohhh! Ooooooooh!”
RHOA viewers definitely remember the moment that Porsha Williams stunningly turned up uninvited to Kenya’s Housewarming Party. It wasn’t so much Porsha’s entrance that stood out, but rather the delighted and bewildered reaction coming from onlooker Shereé that caused the scene to go down in RHOA history. Always a scene-stealer, Shereé’s silly reaction spawned memes and GIFs galore.
Fans know that some of Shereé’s best moments come from her larger-than-life facial expressions and her funny, unusual sounds. Shereé’s pure glee for Porsha’s defiant arrival was more memorable than the act itself. The way that Sheree leaned back in her seat and let out a series of nothing but “Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh!” made for a perfectly side-splitting moment.
It’s Her Party
”What are the odds of all people, it’s Nene who’s not on the list?”
While viewers may have forgotten much of RHOA’s first season, one explosive scene had fans on the edge of their seats as they were introduced to the extravagant force that is Shereé Whitfield. On the series premiere of RHOA, audiences watched as Shereé planned a lavish birthday party for herself. The affair was a big to-do, and much to NeNe’s embarrassment, her name was left off the guest list.
The entire debacle had fans cracking up as Shereé continued to mingle and enjoy her night while NeNe proceeded to voice her frustrations outside of the party. Shereé’s sly delivery, questioning the odds of NeNe’s name being left off of the list made viewers think that Shereé intentionally plotted NeNe’s mortifying moment.
Shereé Calls A Spade A “Spade”
“Love Doctor My A**!”
Always armed with a funny comeback, Shereé was ready when her short-term love interest, Tiy-E, fired a number of nasty insults in her direction. Sheree clearly had her doubts about her Tiy-E’s career credentials, so she let him know her opinion when the two acrimoniously decided to part ways.
Viewers laughed at the way the pair childishly bickered, but when Shereé called after her ex with a final jab, she unwittingly placed the knee-slapping cherry on top of the scene. It’s the juxtaposition of Shereé’s entertaining quick-wit and guarded nature that makes her one of RHOA’s best cast members.
Moore Mansion Still Needed Work
“You Need To Do Trim.”
One of Shereé’s most prominent storylines was the great amount of time and mystery surrounding the construction of her dream mansion, Chateau Shereé. Shereé was oddly defensive about her home’s status, especially when questioned by new neighbor and cast member, Kenya Moore. In retaliation to Kenya’s questions, Shereé sharply pointed out that Kenya’s home lacked the finishing touches.
The Moore Mansion vs. Chateau Shereé feud showed just how nit-picky Shereé could be as she criticized the most minor details of Kenya’s home. The fact that Shereé noticed Kenya’s missing baseboards and trim was proof that Shereé could turn a simple observation into hilarious shade.
Shereé Lodges A Complaint
“Whatever Happened To…Customer Service?”
Sheree proved early in her tenure as a RHOA star to be a Queen of confessionals, with her unintentionally funny way of expressing her opinions. Shereé, a woman of high standards, was more than a little disappointed in her hired event planner, which left her to question pointedly, “Whatever happened to customer service?”
While it’s completely normal to comment on sub-par service, Shereé’s staccato and dry delivery turned her frustrations into a piece of RHOA gold. Always opinionated and perhaps demanding, this sincere question perfectly summed up Shereé’s personality.
Running Toward a Murky Future
“Joggers.”
To the confusion of her fans and castmates alike, Shereé’s ventures have always been a bit of a mystery. For years RHOA viewers were teased with the launch of Shereé’s fashion brand, SHE by Shereé, but creations never seemed to materialize. When pressed for information on the clothing line at the Season 10 reunion, Shereé simply and bafflingly replied, “Joggers.”
The memorable “Joggers” moment during the reunion seemed to puzzle everyone, especially host, Andy Cohen. It seemed as though Sheree either misunderstood the question or was perhaps anticipating a different question. “Joggers” and the mystified glances around the room created another giggle-inducing RHOA moment.
Ms. Whitfield Sings A Tune
“Hell To Naw…To The Naw, Naw, Naw.”
While Shereé is not the original singer of Bishop Bullwinkle’s viral song, “Hell to the Naw Naw,” Shereé’s rendition certainly sticks with RHOA fans. Shereé’s dry delivery of the song’s lyrics, partnered with the visual of her sipping a drink and flashing a smile has continued to make fans laugh since the moment aired in 2016.
It’s no mystery why RHOA editors made the choice to feature an audio clip of Shereé singing “Hell to the Naw” as made a new debut as a full-time Housewife. While the song has found new life on Tik Tok, real RHOA fans will always associate the tune directly with Shereé.
“SHE By Sheree” Is On Its Way
“Probably More September…Or Uh, That Is, Spring, Summer.”
The elusive fashion Queen didn’t have a clear answer for Andy Cohen when he asked for a timeline for the launch of the SHE by Shereé brand. In her trademark way of dancing around the truth, Shereé delivered the iconic line which serves as the basis for her newest RHOA tagline, “Spring, summer or September, I’m the one you always remember.”
Shereé’s iconic Spring/Summer/September rambling became comedic vernacular for RHOA fans when describing uncertain timelines. While viewers may never find out why Shereé has been so evasive about her business affairs, watching her squirm when answering even the most basic questions often results in a funny moment.
Shereé Gets Shifty
“I Just Wanted To Shift It A Little Bit.”
Viewers of the early seasons of RHOA will remember the chaotic on-again-off-again friendships between NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak, and Shereé. This murky dynamic was clear in a now-famous scene in which Nene and Shereé decide to confront Kim’s two-faced tendencies during a night out. Shereé methodically wrapped her fingers around a lock of Kim’s trademark blond wig as the two continued to argue.
During her confessional, Shereé expertly explained the motivation behind her actions, letting audiences know that she never intended to pull Kim’s wig from her head. In “shifting” the wig, Shereé was letting fellow OG Housewife, Kim know that she was done with her backstabbing with a move that was almost symbolic of Shereé’s dominance.
A Major Reality Check
“Who Gon’ Check Me, Boo?”
Delivering one of the top lines in Real Housewives history, Shereé truly gained icon status with “Who gon’ check, me boo?” In a completely unexpected scene, viewers watched as Shereé put party planner, Anthony, in place after the two argued about the details of her event. Shereé’s quick and sharp tongue helped her deliver one of the most defining lines in the history of the franchise.
Whether it was the stern look on Shereé’s face or the funny visual of her wearing sunglasses indoors, viewers were vocal about how much they loved the hilarious moment. The line has staying power and remains to be a favorite across all Real Housewives franchises.
