Sheree Whitfield Wins Big in Court; Real Housewives of Atlanta Trailer

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Somewhere NeNe Leakes is saying “Finally child!” But this is about her former Real Housewives of Atlanta star who indeed finally settled her child support case against ex-husband, former professional football player Bob Whitfield. According to court documents, Bob has been ordered to pay $75,000 in back child support to his ex by November 11.

This custody battle was broadcasted on national television thanks to Sheree’s need for a juicy storyline in season four of Housewives. Viewers witness antics like Sheree bragging about the settlement she would get after her divorce in the first season to Bob sticking his tongue out after he outsmarted her in court on the most recent season.

According to TMZ, Bob admitted to not paying child support and has missed 38 monthly payments. He owes Sheree a total of $81,000. The court also lowered his month child support payments from 2,142 to $1,000 for 12 months. Bob previously claimed he didn’t have the money to pay the support and had been denied when he asked for them to be lowered.

Meanwhile the supertrailer for season 5 of Real Housewives of Atlanta starring Kenya Moore, NeNe Leakes, Porsha Williams-Stewart, Cynthia Bailey, Khandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Kim Zolciak has been released – and it’s crazy – and not because of NeNe! The castmembers Kenya and Porsha are certainly intent on making a name for themselves – we though RHOA had moved past these shenanigans.

Watch the trailer below: Season 5 premieres Nov. 4th. Will you tune in?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
