Shereé Whitfield knows her worth. 

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum won’t be appearing in the show’s upcoming 17th season, which premieres April 5 on Bravo. 

“You’re not gonna see me on Atlanta next season,” she told Access Hollywood during a red carpet interview at BravoCon 2025 last November.

Shereé isn’t completely opposed to picking up her peach again. But only if the conditions are right, she says. 

“I’m open to it. They asked me to come back in a capacity this season. I did say no,” she said, referring to RHOA Season 16.

Why did she decline to return to Bravo?

“Money talks, and it wasn’t speaking loudly enough,” she said simply. “Sometimes you gotta know your worth, you gotta be able to walk away. At some point, hopefully, we can get it together.”

Shereé is an original Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member who starred in the show’s first four seasons. She appeared as a Friend in season 8 and returned as a full-time Housewife in seasons 9 and 10. Then, she took another break before rejoining the show in seasons 14 and 15.

Shereé didn’t reveal what number would be enough to get her back into the Housewives fold. According to Radar Online, she was earning $350,000 at the height of her initial run on the show. To get her to return for season 8, Bravo eventually paid her $250,000 – more than double their “insulting” initial offer of $100,000, a source said.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock.
