Sheree Whitfield's 'RHOA' Season 8 Return to Cast After NeNe Leakes' Exit

Get ready for some more She by Sheree, as former Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Sheree Whitfield, is making her much-anticipated TV comeback. While the series is currently filming season 8 of the Bravo hit, it has undergone a lot of changes, especially since it was announced that veteran RHOA star NeNe Leakes wouldn't be part of the new episodes. However, in order to continue making the program a ratings hit, the producers have decided to bring some familiar faces back to the cast, including Sheree and Marlo Hampton.

According to Radar Online, the decision to bring Sheree back wasn't an easy one, as there were money disputes between the network and also a fear that she would be too much for the crew to handle.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta is the crown jewel in Bravo's crown, and it has always been a ratings hit," a source explained to Radar. "Bringing back Sheree could be a headache for the crew behind the scenes, but she has really matured since the time she was initially on."

As far as the financial aspect of the series, it looks like the producers have come to an agreement with Whitfield that will benefit her now as well as possibly in the future.

"At the height of Sheree's four seasons, she was making around $350,000," an insider explained to the site. "Producers initially offered $100,000, and Sheree balked at the insulting offer. Finally, the contract was signed for $250,000, with an option to do another season at a higher salary."

According to IDigitalTimes, Whitfield will have no problem getting a callback for Season 9 as she is already bringing the drama. The site is reporting that during filming, she allegedly threw a drink in co-star Kenya Moore's face.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expected to make it's return to Bravo this fall with stars Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Kenya, Marlo and Sheree in the cast.
