Former “Housewife” Sheree Whitfield Works Hard For Her Money… [PHOTOS]

Sheree Whitfield, formerly of The Real Housewives of Atlanta,?was spotted recently as she departed Los Angeles International Airport (June 4, 2012).

The former “housewife,” who is now reportedly a certified personal trainer, rocked black from head to toe and was all smiles as she rushed to a flight returning to Atlanta.

You may notice a lil something extra on Sheree’s ring finger but since gay marriages still are illegal in California, I don’t think she tied the knot during her short trip.

But who knows? Maybe Sheree was fooling everybody all along with that “poor single mom” stunt… she may already be remarried or better yet… still married to her retired NFL hubby Bob Whitfield! *gasp*

All jokes aside, here’s what Mrs. Whitfield has been up to since her departure from RHOA and you may be surprised to know that she’s been working harder than ever before…

In addition to donating $250 to a child in need during that “Be A Hero” event, Whitfield donned her best pair of Louboutin’s and hit the stage as one of the judges for the 2012 Night of Spectacles event at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta (April 28, 2012).

As an annual fundraiser for the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation, the Night of Spectacles raises money for thousands of uninsured Georgians who receive sight-saving eye surgeries, eye glasses and eye exams from the Lighthouse every year.

The event always features a scholarship challenge for student-designed dresses made from recycled eyeglasses, and an opportunity for optometrists and ophthalmologists to take the stage as runway models.

In addition to attending and participating in several charity auctions, Sheree also reportedly found time to become certified as a personal trainer.

If you recall, Wendy Williams mentioned it to NeNe Leakes?when Leakes threw shade about Sheree’s figure during her last appearance on the talk show.

Whitfield, who revealed in THIS ARTICLE with Essence Magazine that she quit to spend more time with her kids, has also found time to enjoy Atlanta’s party scene.

Sheree attended Eboni Electra’s weekly “House Party” at The Green Room last Saturday (June 9, 2012).

Sheree partied the night away playing spades and chillaxin with Rasheeda (Love & Hip-Hop), Toya Wright, Chaka Zulu (DTP) and more.

Sheree, Rasheeda, Toya, Eboni Electra…

And if that’s not enough of an update for you Sheree fans…

Go support your girl during her next autograph signing at the 20th Annual Festival of Life (FOL) which will be held at Washington Park in Chicago.

Sheree will be making an appearance July 7th at the Health Pavilion to promote her new certified fitness instructor gig and will be signing people up for her 5 million pound challenge.

Just think… Sheree?got fired from?(I mean) “quit” that cushy job “acting” broke on RHOA to run around collecting coins in different cities all around the country. ?Sounds like a dream job… not!

The moral of this story boys and girls? Remember to have a back up plan to your back up plan…. because the “reality” of reality television is that once the checks stop, you have to WORK like everyone else.

Is it too soon to miss the former housewife??
