‘Lol….Nope’: Former ‘RHOA’ Star Sheree Whitfield Denies She’s Returning for Season 13

Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Sheree Whitfield slams rumors she is returning for season 13 of the hit reality TV show.

Rumors began to circulate after Whitfield posted a new Instagram photo of herself and her former cast mates Porsha Williams, and Kandi Burruss hanging out during the “Verzuz” battle featuring Brandy and Monica on Aug. 31.

Whitfield commented under a fan’s post on Sept. 1 to deny claims she would be back for another season. The fan asked, “So this means your back on Housewives right cause I feel it in my spirit lol?” Whitfield simply replied, “lol….nope”

Whitfield left the show back in 2018 over a contract dispute, according to People magazine. Whitfield took to her Instagram Story to explain her sudden departure to her fans. “Currently living my best life. Was not interested in entertaining the low ball offer that was sent. Know ur worth.”

Although “RHOA” fans hopes were crushed, many people were happy to see the last-minute reunion hosted by Shamea Morton.

One fan wrote,”Beautiful Queens.”

“Love seeing all you ladies together!!” a second fan gushed.

A third fan commented, “Love to see it, Black Queens!!!”

“I love this pic,” a fourth fan said.


A fifth fan cheered, “REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE CULTURE ✨🔥🔥.”

Morton also raved in a post on Sept. 2 about how amazing things turned out in order to celebrate both artists during her “Verzuz” party. “🎤I sang soooo many @brandy and @monicadenise songs in talent shows growing up. 🎵 I’m a super fan of both of these beautiful ladies. ❤️I had to honor them and throw a @verzuztv party last night! And when I tell you I got my entire life 🗣 I GOT MY WHOLE LIFE! 💃🏾 This gathering was planned in 9 hrs. Thanks @hotlantasignsfor coming through with my signs at the very last minute.😘”

Whitfield’s appearance comes after she has made a full recovery from the coronavirus following her positive test back in July.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
