Shereé Whitfield Checks a Fan for Calling Her “Old”

Shereé Whitfield recently addressed a fan who claimed she’s aging. The former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” shared a series of photos on Instagram that showed her sitting on a turquoise chaise next to her Italian mastiff Gotti.

In the images, the 50-year-old reality star opted for a fresh face, going makeup-free and sporting waist-length box braids. Shereé looked as if she was getting ready for bed and rocked a luxury black fleece robe as her nighttime ensemble. The mother of three hinted in her caption that her guard dog was photo-ready. “Hey y’all, I promise Gotti luvs the camera!! I don’t even call him into the pics but whenever he sees us taking pics he just invites himself in and posts up…. every time! He’s hilarious! Gotta ❤️ #Gotti,” she wrote.

Shereé’s photo received a multitude of comments about Gotti’s posture. One user stressed, “Give Gotti his own photoshoot🖤,” while another user asked, “How is Gotti unbothered but, posing?😂😂😂😂?”

However, someone else expressed the idea that the Ohio native was getting up there in age. “Great pictures you’re getting old,” she said. In true Shereé fashion, the Bravo alum politely checked the fan in her comments. “I ammmmmm….u r too! #life,” she said.

Shereé is known for working out and eating healthy, despite what some people may think about her appearance. The founder of She by Shereé and her children Tierra Fuller, Kairo Whitfield, and Kaleigh Whitfield have been committed to staying healthy during their shelter-in-place days. Shereé documented her workout with her kids in a April 18 Instagram post. In the video, Whitfield used the kettlebells while her children alternated between box jumps and weight-ball squat exercises.

She also shared a video on Instagram at the beginning of May that showed her preparing a smoothie after a steam session in her sauna at home.

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.
