According to a new report, Shereé Whitfield is in talks to rejoin the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Sources claim that the mother-of-three will only return to the Bravo hit reality series unless is she is a full-time cast member for Season 14.
TMZ is reporting the following: “Sheree Whitfield's in talks to rejoin the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" after a few seasons away, but only if she's guaranteed lotsa screen time ... TMZ has learned.
We're told it's looking good, but she only wants to be part of Season 14 if she's cast as a regular housewife again ... and won't sign on the dotted line unless producers are on board with that.”
Sources close to production tell us she's been communicating with 'RHOA' producers over the past several weeks about coming back, but reports that she's 100 percent confirmed to return are inaccurate.
Last week, Tamara Tattles reported the following: “Sheree Whitfield Is back as a full-time Housewife! Contracts have been signed.”
Meanwhile, Love B. Scott reported the following about the casting for Season 14 of RHOA: “As widely-rumored, Sheree Whitfield is likely coming back as a ‘housewife,’ but at ‘starter housewife’ salary. If Sheree does return full-time, it’ll probably come at the expense of Cynthia Bailey. From a production standpoint, the show can easily afford both Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton as full-time housewives and give viewers the familiar faces they love for the cost of Cynthia’s salary alone.”
Earlier this month, Whitfield hinted about her return in a cryptic Instagram post.
She added the hashtags, “#tbt #howcanihelpyou #timeisvaluable”
The news comes after it was reported in May that RHOA was getting a cast shake-up for Season 14 in response to the show’s drop in ratings.
“The ratings weren’t the best this past season, so they need to do something to help get more viewers,” a source told The Jasmine Brand at that time.
The outlet also reported the following: “Additionally, our source claims that some changes within the cast are to be expected. While contracts have not yet been signed, we’re told that at least one seasoned cast member may receive a reduced role next season (i.e. become a “friend of the housewives”). Our source also alleged that more than one returning housewife may be reduced to a “friend of,” but one thing is clear: fans can allegedly expect to see a couple fresh faces on season 14 of RHOA.”
