Sheree Is The Only “Housewife” To Show Any Growth

Season two of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” started off a little rocky for Sheree Whitfield. First, she launched a screaming match with Kim Zolciak inside a restaurant and tugged Kim’s famous wig on the streets of Atlanta. Then, Sheree had a rather hostile (although entertaining) altercation with a party planner. She seemed determined to have a really angry second season, and she stole the Drama Queen title from NeNe Leakes.
But somewhere along the way, Sheree had an epiphany and realized there’s more to life than he-said, she-said gossip and she learned to be gracious. We got to know the true person inside when Sheree hung out with trying-too-hard-to-be-a-bitch Tania and hairstylist Laurence. Sheree made the first move to end her feud with Kim so that they could plan an engagement party for Kandi Burruss and her fiancé, A.J. Jewell. She even made light of her lack of a seven-figure divorce settlement in an alter-ego photo shoot. She also accepted Dwight Eubanks’ help and expertise in planning her fashion show, even though the two had tension before and Dwight can sometimes come off as a know-it-all. She truly would have been lost if it hadn’t been for him. Yet, she was able to put him back in check without cursing or name-calling when he threatened to start the fashion show without her. This season, Sheree finally exhibited the grace and class she’s always said she had.
The other ladies, however, didn’t grow at all. NeNe is still conniving and manipulative. She was at the center of all the drama, and her latest plot to secretly meet with her alleged biological father could destroy her marriage to Gregg. Chain-smoker Kim still can’t pay her bills or make her own life decisions. Lisa Wu Hartwell continues to be a two-faced instigator. And Kandi ... well, Kandi didn’t allow herself to get sucked into the BS too much. She had her own personal drama to deal with, and, really, Kandi was above what the other women were dealing with from the start.

Ugh, I can’t watch the “Housewives” they irritate beyond words. Besides isn’t this the same woman who in her divorce decree demanded more spousal support because she could barely read and had become so accustomed to life her husband provided, she could not survive on her own with out his income? So sad.

Sheree is a dumb person and NOT a REAL fashion designer. She didn’t do ANYTHING the day of her fashion show..all she worried about was her looking good. REAL designers are back stage making sure all the models come out to THEIR perfection. Dwight was working his butt off back stage. I hate fake celebrity designers who don’t do anything!

I agree with heythere. I felt like, at least as far as Sheree was portrayed on the show, Dwight did everything at the fashion show and Sheree acted like a diva and took all the credit. Dwight should get his own show. And while I can understand Gregg feeling protective of NeNe, what exactly was she supposed to do, not meet this man? She has a right to find out her own father is.

Sheree should have had her fashion show during the first season. She is really full of herself and atleast Nene is entertaining to watch. But during the first season she had a ‘staff’ to clean her house and kiss her booty. During the second season there is a shot of her doing her own laundry and when asked why she is doing it she says ‘who else gonna do it’. That was her moment of growth in my opinion. Kandi is my favorite. She is brave for being friends with Kim - risking becoming an outcast. But I believe the other housewives know better than to bully and smack talk her. Kandi is bout it bout it.

I think that Sheree and Kim are the fakes ones out of the ladies on the show. Lisa,NeNe and Kandi are the real ones. Sheree is want a be with her fake self and Kim want to be black and don’t know how. But for Nene she need to keep up with what she doing. Thanks for your saying they want to be the Jones I am the Jones. And Lisa you keep up with you doing with your business and that fine husband and her son.
