Rumors swirl. This rumor that former housewife Sheree Whitfield would once again haunt the set of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in its 8th season seems to have swirled into the truth. An unfortunate truth.
Sheree Whitfield and fellow restless spirit, Marlo Hampton, resurrected from seasons past, in a rare sighting, were captured on camera filming for the Bravo ratings winner in Atlanta, Georgia recently.
These choices might work.
Two of RHOA’s most boring troublemakers appeared on this side of Georgia’s red dirt for Cynthia Bailey’s Eyewear Launch Party. Returning cast members Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burress, Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks and Miss USA Kenya Moore, whether draped in slacks, a cocktail dress, or a formal floor-sweeping evening gown, looked like perfect angels in white for the scary reunion.
Once the once-lovable NeNe Leakes, who turned evil demon, was exorcised, what was exciting was the idea of The Real Housewives of Atlanta purifying itself of old bad blood.
But, no. Our gorgeous Andy Cohen had to go digging around in the dirt for night crawlers. So, when these childish poltergeists (invading the bodies of “mature” women) mistook a party at night for a séance, their materializing was bound to conjure up fear and loathing.
‘While Andy allows Sheree and Marlo to bump around in the dark, picking arguments and creating havoc in search of relevance in 2015, viewers won’t be screaming “Bravo!” or “Encore!” They may start wandering—wondering, “Why?” Why visit the past, dig up old dirt, when there are more interesting creatures to draw forth?’ –Blackbiter.com
Scheduling Claudia Jordan’s foot surgery like an RHOA-style episode of Botched would have been more entertaining than snatching worn pages from RHOA’s tired obituary.
Claudia could have worked. Tootie won't work.
Seriously, the thought of Sheree being in the same company as Miss USA is annoying. But to allow Sheree to waste a refreshing glass of expensive Evian to douse Miss USA as if she might dissolve like the witch we know Sheree to be is more than annoying. It’s an old rerun of infantile temper tantrums.
Sheree? Marlo? Tootie? No, no, and no, to old tricks. What about the not so young but restless Victoria Rowell? (Word is, she can’t find script to do, so to speak, and mad as hell about it.) What about Eggs, Nicole Pulliam, from The Game? Or, singing beauty Cynda Williams from Mo’ Better Blues? Kandi could cut her a record.
Whatever Andy Cohen thinks he’s unearthing, he needs to dig deeper. On second thought, Andy Cohen needs to stop kicking up dust. Instead, he needs to birth something new in the 8th season of the show. The show needs refreshing, a new beginning. RHOA needs new donors, a transfusion of fresh blood.

Who do you think would make an eggs-citing addition to Real Housewives of Atlanta?
