‘She’s Back’: Shereé Whitfield Seemingly Confirms Her Return to ‘RHOA’

Shereé Whitfield stirred the pot on Thursday, Sept. 16, after sharing a message surrounding her alleged “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” return.

This initial post comes amid shakeup rumors claiming that the 51-year-old would be returning to the franchise while some current cast members would be replaced. Whitfield was initially a part of “RHOA” from seasons one through four before returning as a “friend of the show” in season eight. She ultimately came back as a full-time cast member in seasons nine and 10 prior to departing from the show for a final time in 2018.

In the initial Instagram Story, the mother of three wrote, “Fall is coming and the shade is high,” alongside a relieved face emoji. Although Whitfield didn’t disclose any additional information to what or whom she was referring in the upload, fans automatically assumed that she was announcing her comeback.

“Is she telling us she’s filming and will be in the next season of RHOA.”

“I hope she’s hinting at coming back to Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

“She’s back.”

“This better be her way of saying she’s back for good 🔥🔥.”

“Basically she coming back to RHOA.”

Despite the allegations, Whitfield has yet to publicly address the rumors. Although the former “RHOA” has remained mum, her former co-star Kandi Burruss disclosed she would love if Whitfield returned.

Burruss said during an interview with “Housewives Nightcap” segment of “Access Hollywood” in July, “I always love Sheree. She’s always good TV to me. She’s had some very explosive moments in some of these past seasons. So, I’m here for it, honestly. If they decide that they want Sheree to come back, I’m here for it. I always considered myself to have a good relationship with Sheree. I mean, we’ve had our moments on the show where sometimes we didn’t see eye to eye. But for the most part, you know, I still see her outside of the show sometimes. We still run into each other, and I’ve got much love for Sheree.”

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.
