Shereé Whitfield No Longer Seeing Prison Bae Tyrone Gilliams After Leaving RHOA

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Shereé Whitfield seems to have confirmed she and Tyrone Gilliams are no longer an item.

The confirmed former peach holder on Monday night held a Q&A on her Instagram Story where some fans wondered about her relationship status.

One of the first questions directly asked about Gilliams, who is in federal prison after being convicted of wire fraud schemes. And after his early release was denied, he won’t be released until November 2022.

Gilliams was sentenced in 2013 to ten years in prison for an intricate Ponzi scheme that led investors to lose around $5 million. Federal documents obtained by Radar Online revealed Gilliams tried to have his sentence reduced on the grounds that he wasn’t the “leader” in his scheme. Additionally, he argued the government “improperly withheld” evidence and cited an “ineffective” counsel in his case.

However, a New York judged declined the offer earlier this year, saying Gilliams failed to provide new sources of proof.

“Are you dating Tyrone still or u dating someone else?” a fan asked.

Whitfield simply replied, “Hmmm” and an 🤔 emoji.

As for the prospect of Whitfield and Williams getting married, the author said she’s “not married yet.” It’s a marked turn for the star, who had hoped to have her prison bae be released early this year. On the last season of RHOA, Whitfield rung him up to chat when he told her about his plans to make things “real” once he got out. They even discussed having a destination wedding with all their friends and family and Gilliams moving into Chateau Shereé.

Even still, Whitfield may have indicated a while ago that she and Gilliams were no longer seeing one another. On an Instagram post earlier this month, Whitfield said she knew her worth even if her possible ex-boyfriend did not.

“I’m effing PLATINUM but u prefer silver…. And that’s ok. I know my worth….#I’llpass 💁‍♀️,” she wrote.

 

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.
