‘I Thought This Was Serena’: Shereé Whitfield’s New Look Has Fans Comparing Her to Serena Williams

Shereé Whitfield‘s latest look on Oct. 14 left fans mistaking the former reality star for tennis champion Serena Williams.

In the Instagram post, Whitfield, who is rocking a lighter hairdo, is seen at the beach posing on a horse while referencing Joseline Hernandez’s “Live Your Best Life” as a caption. She wrote, “Every time he come around, I ride it like a cowgirl, Like a cowgirl.”

When fans viewed the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s upload, many mentioned how they thought this image was of Williams at first glance.

“First glance I thought this was Serena Williams.

“She looks like Serena here.”

“Wait! I thought this was Serena Williams.”

“With that hair you look like Serena the tennis champion.”

In addition to the comparison remarks, others pointed out how good the mother of three looked. Whitfield also received extensive compliments on her toned legs, which were visible in the photo. One wrote, “Come through legs.” Another said, “It’s the leg for me!!”

A social media user stated, “All right, Ms. Sheree! We see you. Looking all goodt!”

Whitfield made headlines last month after stirring the pot with an Instagram post about her alleged return to “RHOA.” The star was a part of the series from seasons one through four prior to becoming a friend of the show in the eighth season. She ultimately came back as a full-time cast member in seasons 9 and 10 before making her final exit in 2018.

In the Instagram story shared on Sept. 16, she wrote, “Fall is coming, and the shade is high,” alongside a relieved-face emoji. Despite not providing additional details, that didn’t stop people from thinking that the alleged cast shakeup rumors were true.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
