It seems like Sheree Whitfield just can’t catch a break these days.
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member who abruptly quit her cushy reality television job AFTER she got fired has faced severe financial difficulties since leaving the show.
After she “won” a child support settlement from her ex-husband, retired footballer Bob Whitfield, Sheree was faced with a huge judgement from the attorneys who represented her in her lengthy divorce case.
Well, she wasn’t looking too good then, but she got a boost when her ex-husband, Bob Whitfield, agreed to cough up $75,000 to end their child support dispute.
One thing he didn’t agree to though was payment of her attorney’s fees and since Sheree still owed the firm that represented her in their lengthy divorce, I’m sure her new attorney Nicole Hanyard, is regretting that decision.
Fast forward to the present and Sheree has lost the battle against her former attorneys at the firm of Weinstock & Scavo, the same firm that repossessed her Aston Martin a few years back.
When Sheree was spotted in NYC earlier this month, I tried to warn y’all that she had quite a bit up her sleeves.
The quick witted ex-wife of retired NFL player Bob Whitfield is on a mission and has been hitting up quite a few shows to keep her name front & center.
Yesterday (December 22, 2012), Sheree hit up CNN to appear on “Headline News” (HLN Weekend Express), where she discussed the “reality” of reality shows.
It’s very stressful… it’s very hard and when I look back, I’m like ‘oh my God!’ You know, because my kids watch the show and their friends watch the show.
And the funny thing is, now that I’m not.. no longer on the show, me and my ex… we’ve moved past that. Like… we’re able to get along better.
I think there was a lot of stress and a lot of weight on the show… that kind of was like… a lot of the demise of our friendship as well.
Former NBA players John Salley and Antoine Walker and NFL player turned businessman Damion Gregory sat down on BET’s “Don’t Sleep” hosted by TJ Holmes to discuss athletes who go broke after leaving the game.
In an episode entitled: “GAME OVER: Sports and Money in Black America,” Salley, who entered the NBA at 19, offered sound financial advice for young players entering the league.
Walker, who appeared on ESPN’s 30 for 30: Broke Documentary, recently declared bankruptcy and speaks candidly about the poor financial decisions he made throughout the years.
Coincidentally, former Real Housewife of Atlanta, Sheree Whitfield (ex-wife of retired NFL player Bob Whitfield) joined the panel to talk about finances as well.
One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn’t belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others…. by the time I finish my song? *sing along*
[Sidebar: Keep your eye on John Salley while Sheree speaks. Those side-eye's he throws = "PRICELESS"!]
