Many fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta have doubts about the upcoming season. Longtime star Kenya Moore isn’t returning, and some are wondering if the rest of the cast can pick up the slack. Recently, Sheree Whitfield echoed similar sentiments when she gave an interview expressing her feelings about Kenya leaving and the show itself. This then caused a back-and-forth between the Housewives OG and newbie Brittany Eady.

Fans will recall that Bravo announced the cast for season 16 of RHOA several weeks ago. Unfortunately for fans of Sheree, she was absent from the announcement, signaling that she would not be a part of the cast for “Sweet 16.” While some people said they would miss the She by Sheree founder, others felt that she had overstayed her welcome on the show.
Many people had things to say after the interview Sheree gave went viral. Some felt that Sheree staged the interview as a way to get people talking in hopes that they would invite her to be on the show again. One such person was Brittany, who posted, “TMZ in Atlanta…interesting.”
Sheree then took to her Instagram Stories to say, “Alleged scammers on housewives… interesting.” The online back and forth between the two ended there.

Regarding the TMZ interview, the outlet seemingly randomly caught the Housewives alum leaving the grocery store, and they asked her how she felt about Kenya leaving or potentially being fired from RHOA.
She says, “My God. I hate to see my girl Kenya go out like that, but as an OG, it’s kinda hard to sit back and watch the show kind of slowly sink the way it is.”
Sheree continues, “So, I’m not happy. I don’t like it.”
When asked if she’d ever go back, she says, “As an OG, I always feel like an OG’s presence is always welcomed or needed on the series no matter what capacity. So, I never say never. If the coin is right, I just might.”
Regarding why she left, she says, “Because the coin wasn’t right.”As mentioned, many people had issues with the interview. For starters, it did seem staged to get people talking about Sheree. Additionally, her comments about the show sinking have been called into question because she was a part of last season, which some call one of its worst in terms of both quality and ratings. Still, people like Sheree on the show for her “bone collecting,” so maybe a familiar face like hers could be good for the show in some capacity.
