The rumors have been swirling for weeks that one “RHOA” castmember would not be returning for another season.
Sheree Whitfield confirmed the news recently with Wetpaint Entertainment that after four seasons on the hit show, she wouldn’t be returning for the fifth.
“After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness,” she told the entertainment site.
