The news is confirmed that Sheree Whitfield will be returning to Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta" in season 8. Insiders of the show say that the former RHOA star is now offered a pay of $250,000 which was more than twice her initial offer from Bravo.
According to the insiders of Radar Online, the producers of the show needed to heighten up the drama of Nene's leaving the show. "'Real Housewives of Atlanta' is the crown jewel in Bravo's crown, and it has always been a ratings hit. Bringing back Sheree could be a headache for the crew behind the scenes, but she has really matured since the time she was initially on."
Their sources also revealed that from the four seasons that Whitfield was in the show, she has made approximately $350,000.
They said, "At the height of Sheree's four seasons, she was making around $350,000." "Producers initially offered $100,000, and Sheree balked at the insulting offer. Finally, the contract was signed for $250,000, with an option to do another season at a higher salary."
Initially, Bravo announced that fans of the show may not be seeing NeNe Leakes and Claudia Jordan for the upcoming "Real Housewives'" Season 8 as Leakes will be joining Betty White and Anthony Anderson in ABC's newest primetime series "To Tell the Truth" according to KpopStarz.
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 8 already began filming last July. Whitfield was seen at Cynthia Bailey's Eyewear Collection in Atlanta. She was part of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast in four seasons and she was the ex-wife of NFL's Atlanta Falcon Bob Whitfield. She left the show in 2012.
Other RHOA regulars that will return in the Bravotv's Season 8 are Marlo Hampton, Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks, Porsha Williams, and Cynthia Bailey.
