 Bravo's Mistake to Fire Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield

Listen, I fully understand that after season 15 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta overall ratings, Bravo had no choice but to let go of ninety percent of the cast. However, looking at the current ratings of season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, I can say that Bravo made a mistake to fire Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield. Sheree was the bone collector, and Marlo was the friend of the show that always stirred the drama. Letting Sheree and Marlo go as Porsha Williams returned to the show was clearly a ploy to protect Porsha's feelings, which has backfired so far. Let's discuss my reasons why I personally think Marlo and Sheree should have been kept in the friend role, but with higher salaries.



Sheree Whitfield - The Bone Collector

Sheree Whitfield was named the bone collector by the cast of the Real Housewives of Atlanta because she kept record of all the drama from all the women, aka collecting bones. To me, this is what made Sheree a great cast member. The Real Housewives of Atlanta needs women who are authentic and willing to confront issues head on without fear, which is what Sheree always did.

If you remember, Sheree along with Marlo, were the two people who brought out to the forefront, the rumors that Phaedra Parks was spreading about Kandi Burruss on season 9 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. In episode 9 of season 9 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, If These Woods Could Talk, it was Marlo who initiated the drama towards the end of the episode, by asking Kandi if she was a lesbian. This question was literally the spark that lit the fire for the rest of the season. Sheree then added more fuel to the fire by stating that it was Porsha who told her that Kandi was in the closet.

Do you see how Marlo and Sheree are essential cast members to the Real Housewives of Atlanta, given a good ensemble cast?

Sheree Whitfield - The One-Liner Queen


Let us also not forget that Sheree is the one-liner queen; who gone check me boo? Sheree's who gone check me boo one-liner has already been historically one of the most recognized phrases from the Real Housewives franchise. Another one-liner from Sheree that I love is "squats not shots," as a response to Drew Sidora questioning how she stays fit.

So, how did Bravo forget all of these attributes of Sheree? I can only imagine how good Sheree would have been for season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta; she would have fished out all the information from Porsha about how she got with Simon Guobadia. Bravo completely missed the mark by not keeping Sheree!



Marlo Hampton and Porsha's Relationship


As I have said, Marlo has always been the spark that lit the fire in all of the Real Housewives of Atlanta history. From her friendships with strong personalities like Kenya Moore and Nene Leakes, to her dislike of Porsha Williams. Marlo would have been a perfect fit for Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16, especially now that Porsha is back on the show.

I personally believe that had Marlo been on season 16, Porsha would have truly been exposed for everything that she did to former castmate Falynn Pina (formerly Falynn Guobadia), including stealing her husband. Even recently, Marlo has made statements about Porsha Williams only marrying Simon Guobadia for money on her podcast with former cast member Sanya Ross. Marlo feels that Porsha Williams' reasons for divorcing Simon Guobadia are clear indicators that she only married him for his money, given that Porsha has said that she had to protect their assets. The talk of assets and not love is what does not sit well with Marlo.



So how did Bravo miss this great opportunity to have Marlo Hampton and Porsha Williams in the same room? Seriously! This was a missed opportunity and mistake by Bravo. 

Although I like season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast so far, especially with additions of Angela Oakley, Kelli Ferrell, and Brittany Eady, I still think that heavy hitters like Marlo and Sheree would have made this season way more exciting than what it is now.

Season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings is struggling, as I wrote about in a previous blog post. Bravo clearly needs to do a better job at casting the correct people.

Nonetheless, I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic; did Bravo make a mistake by firing Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield?

Kenya Moore Blames Bravo and Brit Eady for Her Actions

By
Have you watched the Tamron Hall interview with Kenya Moore? If you haven’t, I highly recommend watching it. What I took away after watching the interview is that Kenya Moore tried to justify her actions of displaying inappropriate pictures of Brit Eady as a retaliation for feeling threatened by Brit and for Bravo ignoring her complaints. Brit Eady Threatens Kenya Moore Firstly, I admit that if someone told me they had whips and pistols and directed it towards me, I would take it seriously. Kenya Moore is right to worry about her safety when Brit continuously told her that she has pistols. I honestly do not know Brit’s background, so I don’t know exactly why she would talk about owning pistols. My speculation, based on what Brit has revealed about her past, is that she has had to protect herself many times. During episode 4 of Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16, Brit did reveal that growing up, her older sister would often times defend her in school. In addition, Brit Eady claims to ...

What We Learned from Kenya Moore's Confessionals

By
 What Kenya Moore Revealed on Her Confessionals The first episode or video of Kenya Moore's long awaited "confessionals" has finally been posted on her new YouTube Channel. I watched it, and I have to say that Kenya did the right thing to tell her side of the story, regardless if no one else agrees with her. So here are some of what we learned from Kenya Moore's Confessionals. Snapshot from Kenya Moore's Confessional Porsha Williams Lied about Another Housewife Helping Kenya Expose Brit Eady Kenya has once again refuted the claims made by Porsha Williams, that another Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member helped Kenya Moore with exposing Brit Eady. Porsha made these statements on her own YouTube channel show, Don't Make Me Call Porsha , which caused a stir and got people speculating about which of the cast members helped Kenya. Kenya further accused Porsha of profiting off of her storyline. Kenya Moore Found Pictures of Brit Eady Online Contrary to what Porsh...

Kenya Moore’s Departure from Real Housewives of Atlanta Doesn’t Bring Peace to the Group

By
Kenya Moore's Departure from the Real Housewives of Atlanta does not translate to Peace for the Group It is not surprising that after Kenya Moore’s actions at her own hair spa grand opening, that many are now speculating that maybe Kenya was the problem after all; Kenya brought darkness to the show. Whether you agree or not, you would think that Kenya Moore's departure from the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 would bring more peace to the group right? Well, by the looks of the preview of episode 6 of season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, it does not seem to be the case. Brit Eady gets into a heated argument with Angela Oakley, who accuses Brit of not taking accountability for the part she played in the drama. Brittany Eady Rubs People the Wrong Way  Based on the episode 6 preview, it appears that Brittany Eady and Angela Oakley will have an argument. At the moment I do not know what the argument will be about, however, it is very telling that Brit finds herself at t...
