Sheree Whitfield “Quits” After Real Housewives Fires Her… [OFFICIAL STATEMENT]

Sheree Whitfield FORMERLY of The Real Housewives of Atlanta posed for the photo above after being successfully auctioned off during that celebrity date charity event last night (April 17, 2012).

In case you were wondering, someone actually shelled out $800 to help Neverland spend some QT with Whitfield, but they may be sadly disappointed after discovering she’s no longer an actual “celebrity” per se…

As I told revealed in THIS POST, the final four were revealed during Bravo’s Upfront event and they consist of Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes.

No Sheree… no Kim Zolciak.

While we already know the deal, Sheree has finally confirmed that she’s outta there…

Sheree’s official goodbye statement below…

Sheree released the following? statement exclusively to Wet Paint:

?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.?

?I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I?m thrilled to say I?m now a free agent and am already fielding offers.?

How many times does one person say “I” in a statement? 😯

What I gather from this statement is that Sheree is trying to save face.? Especially after our confrontation yesterday (but I’m saving that for my memoirs).

I dunno what Sheree’s tryna sell us, but it was clearly not the ‘struggling’ single mother’s personal choice to WALK AWAY from almost a million dollars a year with no back up plan in sight.

Who does that? 😯

Some things should just be left unsaid boo….

As far as Kim’s concerned, her fate is up in the air until Bravo sees how well her wedding special fares.

Are you sad to see “Sh*t Starter” Sheree go or do you bid her good riddance?

And for the record… no one will miss Sheree’s hilarity on air more than I. *sheds tear*
