Sheree Whitfield Talks About CastMates, Clothing Line and More

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Sheree Whitfield is starting afresh following her divorce. She recently debuted her clothing line, She By Sheree at the New York Fashion week.

In a recent interview with Essence, Sheree reveals her plans to relocate, talks about her fashion line, and whether she’d be back for the third season.

Below are excerpts from Sheree’s new interview:

ESSENCE.COM: Congrats on your first fashion show in New York. What did you take away from the experience?

SHEREE WHITFIELD: It was amazing. It was my way to test my line in the New York market, the world’s fashion capital. I got a lot of positive feedback and support from the fashion industry. You really have to be hands on. I feel like I need to move to New York to really be there. I tried here in Atlanta and it really did not work and it went well in New York, but I had to go back and forth a lot. I love it in New York and would love to live there and still keep a place in Atlanta when I want to slow down.

ESSENCE.COM: Back in Atlanta you had a little help from Dwight with your other show.

SHEREE WHITFIELD: Working with Dwight was okay, but it came off like he did a lot more than he did. He came in on the last week and had some great ideas, but I also had some people in from New York working on it already. We pulled it off and it was awesome. I saw what he was saying in the confessional and was like, “Wow, you didn’t do this by yourself, honey.”

ESSENCE.COM: During your appearance on “Ellen,” you and Kim went at it. Any chance you’ll mend your friendship?

SHEREE WHITFIELD: That piece of trash! Kim loves attention. TV made me and Kim’s relationship seem different than it was. She and I were never friends. I don’t believe in messing with married men. If she can do that to someone else, she’s no one that I would ever really hang out with. She’s on TV and doesn’t feel bad messing with a married man. How dumb can you be? Those vows are sacred.

ESSENCE.COM: Definitely. So, are you still the queen bee of the cast and would you do another season?

SHEREE WHITFIELD: That’s definitely still my character. However, this season they have honed in on different aspects of my personality as well. As for another a season, I probably would.
