[READ: Exclusive Sneak Peek: Bob & Sheree on Iyanla: Fix My Life (VIDEO)]
The 2nd season of Iyanla Vanzant‘s ‘Fix My Life’ started with a bang last week with embattled rapper Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons (click HERE if you missed it).
Sheree hasn’t done much talking about the show, but Bob recently did an interview with First and Life, a blogtalk radio show, where he shared the reasons behind his decision to appear alongside his ex-wife for a heaping of Iyanla’s life fixin’.
Read Bob’s analysis of his appearance PLUS watch a newly released ‘first look’ of the upcoming episode below…
AUDIO: Bob Whitfield Speaks About Upcoming Iyanla Vanzant Appearance
Whitfield explains in the interview how it was his goal to increase the peace for the sake of his children, stating:
All that’s been portrayed on tv between me and her has been just a whole lotta animosity, a whole lotta you know… hatred for each other. So the whole ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ thing was a chance at intervention… for an outsider to come in. And I will say it definitely a good experience.
It was a good experience but Iyanla was hard! She was poking and prodding and getting down to the nitty gritty as to why…
Yeah, divorce is final but you still have to raise the children and you have to co-parent. And the two parties have to get over their differences and work hard… just for the sake of the children. And that was the goal to get out of that experience.
What you will see coming up… is an in-depth analysis of a relationship. And what you’ll see is the hope that two people can resolve differences and come to some common ground and move forward for the sake of the kids and the family.
It’s a work in progress…
I don’t hold any animosity for my ex-wife and I think that this show was an attempt to help us move forward so that we can basically provide a stronger more supportive nature for the children.
Bravo Bob! Very well put…
Vanzant recently appeared on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens LIVE’ with Andy Cohen, where she and Sheree’s former boss shared a laugh or two about the upcoming episode…

When asked her thoughts about Bob & Sheree, Vanzant revealed:
I think that when people are wounded they are afraid to be vulnerable. I think that when people have been allowed to get away with a bad behavior for a long time, they become very brittle when you challenge them.
And I also think that when somebody is controlling, they can’t surrender.

Chateau Sheree Progress Report (Part 2)
I don’t think Iyanla should have joked, laugh or poked fun at anyone anytime that comes to her for help/support for their problems.
It is always heart-warming to see PARENTS work together to raise their childrens.
Peeps standing on the outside looking in can cause more problems than a relationship already have. Good job Bob & Sheree……let it be about the kids.
I don’t think she joked, laughed, or poked fun at Sheree or her problems. But at the end of the day you have to call a thing a thing. Sometimes a person needs a reality check because they are too consumed with having an image. Sheree has been building this house for her children for years. And she honestly feels she is doing it for the children. But she is building a big house not for the children but for her to show the naysayers that she has "money". If she really wanted a place for her children to live she could have bought a house already completed and moved her children in. They don’t need a big house. She wants a big house to say she has one.
@Shon – AGREED! Sheree’ has grown accustomed to putting on airs and it’s become harder and harder for her to do so. Bob initially came across as a big ass kid/dumb jock (yet smart enough to outwit Sheree’ and Phaedra). They BOTH looked bad! Hopefully, Iyanla stepping in to mediate helped. I actually like Sheree’. I think she’s just caught up in her delusions of grandeur.
Shon that’s absolutely true. I seriously doubt that Iyanla is the type of person to laugh at someone’s life situation. Be forreal!!!
Shon, I totally agree w/ you , this has ALWAYS been about Sheree, she is controlling the lack if time Bob is spending- she answers the children’s phones! Just selfish! The kids are the ones suffering- Iyanla told Sheree that house was about her, iyanla wasn’t poking fun- she’s better than that!
Bob was funny when he sat in on sports radio. His once appearance on cnn with DL Hugley still cracks me up where he called Sheree a “platinum digger” as in beyond gold. my only disappoint is that oprah’s OWN has to scrape the bowels of reality show failure for content.
Yalanda Lattimore DryerBuzz True. But OWN is only going after what’s popular i.e. Evelyn Lozada, DMX, etc. because they know that those ppl will bring in the ratings. Just like when O started out… it was the more ‘salacious’ the better until she was the top talk show host. IMO…
I so agree with you, well said.
wow. i still see sheree’ is still delusional. dont even have a job, for the up keep of that monstrosity. lol
@ k – My thoughts exactly. Forget who gone check me Boo. How about, who gone pay them utilites Boo?
Damn, this irrelevant bitch is still around. She by SheBroke still trying to get those reality tv checks. Ole tired ass, hood rat trying to be a classy woman. "I like things that are classy and sophisticated, like me." Bitch, you barely made it out of high school. Sit down! and Bob is one UGLY MOTHA FUCKA! Then again, the bitch that runs this site is too. Match made in heaven!
But you just gave her ugly ass yet another hit to hir site…looks like Michelle is winning.
*her
Take A deep breathe Shondricka. It’s not that serious Boo.
Exactly…..funny how these same witches run to sandradose.com (and that is not a typo) and dare to say anything about her, wait, I meant him….or is is shim? hell, I give up…IT!
LOL…. the sophistication is just oozing from your words. LMAO.
Really, Shondricka? Girl get yo life!
I laughed my azz off when Iyanla was talking about the house!!
Do NOT blame the building of that home on your children. It is so hard to feel bad for this woman when she continually shows the world, or those of us watching, that she is in fact delusional. Those children need a home yes, but it does not have to come compete with a ballroom; I’m sure a real bed would be a huge step in the right direction. That home is there because of your ego and unfinished because of your ego. With the money you were making, you could have purchased a nice, comfortable home…hell, the money you spent on that aston martin could have brought a nice foreclosure and guess what, it would have been a little tougher for your attorneys to take your home than it was for them to take you car due to unpaid fees. This woman is forever going to be a lost cost….No one can fix her life until she realizes what her life truly is….a mess!!!
I feel that Sheree is one of those women who feels that they are entitled and don’t want to work because they have this fantasy that some man will take care of them for the rest of their lives. This woman should be an example for her children but too busy trying to live grand. She should have taken financial lessons from Kandi who likes to ball on a budget but of course Sheree is just being Sheree.
I think she IS an example for her children. An unfortunately characterless one and most certainly an up close in your face materialistic seemingly selfish being that no one should ever strive to be. Her consequences and burdens to bear may ironically end up being that house she lives for. You never know what tomorrow will bring but TODAY she knows that Bob is NOT going to pay for her dreams which in reality are nightmares. It’s never too late to walk away from that house. Paying taxes on property for three years that will only triple once house is complete and you don’t have a job (not to mention all other serious debt). As far as flipping completed property…what happens to liens (which could be value+ what property’s worth by now)??
They should get back together lol
"Let me just be real clear: There are going to be moments today that I will hear what you’re saying, but I’ll be looking at you and somewhere else at the same time. You’ll get over it."

You know you ain’t right for that!
#Dead
LOL!!
you ‘aint going to heaven no matter what you do!
I don’t think that Iyanla was laughing at Sheree to make fun of her. I love Iyanla. I am a huge fan, however, she was once in Sheree’s position if not worse. Iyanla went through millions of dollars in a very small amount of time while going through a dark period in her life. Oprah was tough on her just as she is tough on Bob and Sheree. "Fix my Life" is Oprah’s way of saving Iyanla (I know others saw the episode of her on the Oprah show). Iyanla don’t seem like a "pot calling the kettle black" type of person. I read many of her books and watched her shows including "Starting Over". I don’t think she was poking fun at her, but we will tune in on the 20th and see. I think Sheree biggest problem is always trying to get revenge when she really need to learn to step back and let the Lord fight her battles. Lot’s of people go through huge amounts of money and have spending problems (one of the biggest problems in America). I don’t talk much on this site but I do love getting the tea from here and other sites. Stay blessed Michelle.
Getting revenge = You can’t win when you are dirty!!!
I think some people aren’t good with finances period. We all have heard about people winning lotteries and end up being broke because they were never good with money in the first place and spending money on things that weren’t necessary.
Definitely so true. A lot of Black folk have passed that old ‘sharecropping’ habit down from first generation free slaves. "CREDIT". Even folks on welfare are laying up in houses full of ‘RentaCenter’ sh*t. Driving off car lots in flood hooptys that break down before they’re paid for or repossesed. Granted credit cards are hard to get today because of ‘scores’,they are a treasure if used wisely meaning never purchase unless you can pay balance in full on due date. I personally would NEVER pay ANYONE one free cent on something I could have saved for or trash picked. If you haven’t started saving money by now..you are fucked. And that goes especially if you are poor. Young and foolish with money is a curse. Athletes and musicians are prime time examples.
Dear versatile:
please come and handle my money. cuz I wish I had even half back what I blew until I got a little bit of sense.
"flood hooptys" that’s it, am dead.
@Versatile, true. You can really find out about people’s finances is funerals because some of the folks who have been trying to front, be better than the next, driving the latest model Lexus/BMW/Mercedes/Jaguar and don’t have the money to bury their mother, father, etc. I hear about this crap all the time. You see these thugs getting shot and killed while they were playing pimp my ride with the newest and shiniest rims but they don’t have any burial insurance so the family have to come up with money to bury his ass. Like I said, some people aren’t good with money and when they get money, it burns right through their hands.
So true. I saw that episode with Iyanla and Oprah. ANd don’t you know Oprah told it like it was honey. And being the grown woman that she was, Iyanla admitted she was wrong. I’m so happy that Oprah gave this woman another chance to do what she does best. As for Sheree, honey, I just don’t have the words.
We all need to continuously learn & grow each day. These two were once part of a family unit & to see them attempt to repair any forms of damage to that unit – is admirable. We know this site owner fawns over Bob Whitfield & is extremely jealous of Sheree but, fact remains – they will be in each other’s lives from here on out. Michelle needs to think about that when going after leftovers trying to upgrade them on a blog budget! SMDH.
Blog budget > no budget at all,
I love Iyanla Fix My LIfe. Its the best thing on OWN. IT helped revitalize the network. I hope she addresses what it is that Sheree does for a living.
She most definitely did. Iyanla, Latoya, Unfaithful,Schoolhouse Wars and HD!! Sophia didn’t have to tell ME twice. "I’s home now Miss Sophia!I’s home now!"
Why is this lady even relevant on TV. She not important enough to waste time or breath on. Just go away and lets focus on what the real problems are. GET A JOB or an EDUCATION maybe just maybe you can get your life on track.

The kids need a house, why yes they do but not a mansion that may not be complete for the kids to actually enjoy! By time the house is finished those kids will be grown and on their own. This is about her materialistic self. I have seen the homes in Atlanta alpharetta area etc (i live in wisconsin where home value compared to ATL is HIGH) and this heffa could of got a NICE house and made some upgrades if needed and kept it moving. Just greedy!!!!!
I will never understand why someone feel the need to live in some big and grand mansion.

Back to d.ck riding Sheree. yawn…
Shere has a d,ck? I knew there was someting fishy about her adams apple.
LoL well maybe bob did it to be a better father but Sheree did it for a check

Lets Not Forget SHEREE TORE DOWN A HOME!! dumbayce I bet she wishes she didn’t spend money tearing a house down to build one she don’t have money for
Bob dragged SheBySheBroke for filth! I almost like him now.
Yes Gawd hunti- he did just that!
Sheree looked pretty uncomfortable on camera.
I love Ayanla her show is the BEST thing to happen to OWN ….as for Bob & Sheree I hope they really able to co-parent for the kids sake….Sheree need to stop living above her means….really Sheree really you know damn well then kids don’t need a house that big….SMDH
Bod is very well. He definitely seems like he would be the smart one in the situation after watching this episode. I feel bad in saying that I thought he would be clueless during this episode but I was surprised. Sheree finally admitting she was angry, and bitter was a good step but she didn’t seem serious. Iyanla is good at what she does and Sheree should have been a little more receptive to the counseling.
The price folk pay for fame is unreal…
He’s nothing but a sorry ass man!

Sheree is never willing to be completely be honest. She likes to avoid true facts about how she runs her life. Bob came off as a person willing to try and that is all one can ask for. Bob was willing to be open how his feelings, admit his wrongs and be a better father. Sheree still wants to play the blame game instead of learning and not repeating their experience together, It is just like Sheree is put the blame on someone else when it is revealed that she still thinks the same and is in the same position if not worst than before. I believe if after several years you don’t get the cs due to you, you don’t sit back & wait on it, you make things happen. Of course, Bob is totally wrong for not paying her bc he could have always had the amount modified based on her public income. Sheree’s life won’t come get better until she is ready to deal with her truths. Nothing like a woman scorned, it only works against you.
