Then, I read an article that Sheree gave recently to Essence.com. I figured if she did have something major going on she would mention it there. Here is the portion that relates to her current endeavors:
ESSENCE.com: What’s been going on in your life since you officially left Real Housewives of Atlanta?
SHEREE WHITFIELD: I’ve been spending more time with my kids and my family and planning my next move. I’ve got a couple projects that I’m working on that I’m really excited about. I’ve partnered with a company called Xooma to create a 5 million-pound fitness challenge. We’re trying to help a generation get healthy. I’m really excited about it because this is my realm and what I love.

So there you have it. Sheree’s latest project where she is “partnering” with a company is a pyramid scheme.
Edited to add ANOTHER Xooma link to the “challenge” Sheree is claiming to be working on. It’s more of a contest than anything. My stammering idiot in the comments is, as usual confused. Zumba. LOL. That commenter really should take their posts and make their own blog. They could start today with the big “Zumba news”. ROFLMAO.
Amway exists still and there's obviously someone making money at it, given that they advertise on TV all the time. Can anyone see Shereè pitching her friends to buy chelated minerals and join her scheme?
Well, there must be some money coming from somewhere. Her monstrosity (chateau) is progressing steadily. They are close to finishing the framing.What a disaster. The house is way too big for the lot and stands out like a sore thumb. Did anyone expect any different?
OMG Tamara, please, please, please stop writing this blog…You've misquoted the Essence article and need to do some research ASAP. Sheree has not partnered with Xoomba dumbass – It's ZUMBA….Which is a very popular aerobic, hip-hop fitness dance…This is probably the most erroneous diary entry that you've written to date…It's obvious you don't do a shred of exercise or you would've known instantly that the challenge is "Zumba"-related, not this mess that you googled….You are such a hater of Sheree and it's really laughable at this point…This is worse than the time that you reported about the wrong Maya being overlooked for Season 4 of the RHOA….You're really going out on a limb just to see this woman down and out…Sorry Tamara, it's not going to happen…Why are you blogging again????
Zumba is not going to keep Chateau Sheraaaayèé afloat, sorry. My friends who teach classes use them to SUPPLEMENT their day jobs.
It's not Zumba,lol. My troll is a bit more deranged than usual today. There are now two links to Xooma, no 'b' no dancing involved.
Sheree needs to sit down somewhere now she trying to work since she got fired. I'm sooooooo sick of hearing about she by Sheree clothing line or her trying to do a workout video it's getting old.
Tamara keep spilling the tea they mad cause you telling the truth keep us updated on these wanna be's sheree should have put up a career while on 4 seasons of housewives but everyone on the show doing something with there career's but her sad what's the update on her house LOL
I WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF THE CHATEAU.Get thee to it!
Hold up, wait a minute. She's going to be selling unflavoured crystal light and pills with unlisted ingredients as her a day job? One of us needs to go see her as a customer.
LOL at N.Anderson finally abandoning all pretense of not paying attention to this stuff. I posted a picture awhile back. It's still in the framing stage but rapidly making progress. Her crystal light teabags will be full of calcified coral and some silver! I think we'd have to get invited for a party, like a tupperware thing in order to purchase, or maybe she'll go door to doo like an Avon lady. You just know Nene is loving this. 🙂
Isn't one of the housewives doing phone calls for money? That's where I see Sheree ending up. It's kind of sad really, Sheree has, at least, raised some well-balanced kids, or it appears so.
ANON 3:09Yep Alex of RHNY is doing the calls @ $20 minute – can't think of anyone alive I'd pay that to talk to…I wonder if Thelma is paying for the construction to improve her investment…She best be careful selling things people eat or drink – there's a chance of lawsuits if the ingredients don't meet government standards on food safety. – they could be long gone @ Sheree left holding the bag… She basically wasted those years on RHA by not getting things going for herself – look how good NeNe's doing… compare the two and NeNe is rich @ Sheree can't stand it…
"Organic minerals" 🙂 That's a nice little oxymoron.I don't understand her and why she just didn't go down the workout video and diet plan route immediately when signing with Bravo. Now that window is closed.I really wanted to see a happy ending for her. I don't know why, but I did. I wanted to see her come to her senses and prioritize things in her life, find a new love and a new career. But no. Frustrating and sad.
BUNNY 11AMLMAO – organic minerals… oxymoron is right considering poop is loaded with organic minerals also – plus it's full of fiber if the pooper eats right…
Ladies, ladies….yall are way overthinking this thang. Lady Sheree is not a business woman. More than likely, she expected offers to come rolling in during season one. They didn't. Then she thought 'oh, I'll be an actress'…nope, that didn't roll, clothing line – poff, up in smoke. I truly think she just doesn't have a business mind set, nor business skills, and has lived from man to man for her living. Not saying she didn't love whomever. Just saying that she's not taken that first step to partner, or hire, folks who do this for all the celebs out there who have a 'hot name out there' at the moment. She also could have hired a team, even one, to help her strategize her next move,yet no business partner, nor agent has appeared to help her learn how to go after opportunities. Most of these women from realtiy shows get investors, do makeup lines, clothing lines, etc. They go out and find smart managers or agents to help them. Sheree just flat out didn't. You can't expect someone to know how to build a business, or how to handle money & investors if there's no training, or at least smart people around them to explain how it works. There are a lot of women out there who 'catch' the big fish, monied husband and expect that to be their meal ticket for a lifetime…sadly that rarely happens these days. One last thing, all the money she spent on the Berkins & the car (what was it a jag?) took the big chunk of change she had that could have been invested or used for a start up – at least a part of it. No, she spent it on frivilous material things….says a lot about her mindset.
@Anonymous 2:35You know what? You are absolutely right.It's just kind of frustrating to watch that from the sidelines. She could've really hit it big and laugh all the way to the bank, but alas, no.I also get the whole "fake it 'til you make it" thing, but at least just rent the damn Birkins and Aston Martins.So much *headdesk* and *facepalm*…
Remember when she was bragging about the 6 figures she wanted to get from her ex-husband. I think she was banking on that and it fell through. Looks like everything she touches turns to dust. Hopefully things will turn around for her.
@ Bunny said – absolutely…it is sad, tragic. So few people get an opportunity like she and others, and blow it. It's all about choices, choices and self discipline. You don't really get ahead by 'faking it til you make it'. Reaping and sowing, reaping and sowing…that's the bottom line. Such a shame, waste of opportunities….and so many other women in ATL could have taken that and turned it into something BIG.
I know this is going to sound "mean" but I think you guys expect an awful lot intellectually from Sheree. She has no tools, no mentor, no support, and knows no way of life other than looking pretty and marrying someone to support her. I'd say she did well at that. She DID get her 7 figure settlement but she spent it all on cars and purses because she doesn't have any education since the age of 15. For a 15 year old, she's done really well for herself. I'm really not trying to bash her here. She has done very well with what she has. The Nene's and the Teresa's of these type shows are the exceptions not the rule.
I finally disagree with you Tamara! Sheree is NOT getting too long in the tooth to be a trainer. The population is aging and 'older' trainers are actually in demand right now as many older people don't want some young whippersnapper. :-)And Sheree could definitely make a good living working at a gym and selling her own line of workout clothes. Sadly, she doesn't seem capable or willing to let someone tell her how to make this happen. I don't know if it's because she's lazy and has no real interest in 'working' or she's truly not smart enough to think she needs to get on the 'work' bus. Long in the tooth? Yeah, she is for bagging a rich man. They tend to favor young and stupid – not middle-aged and stupid. I would love to see her beat the odds and predictions, but I honestly doubt it.WD
Haven't read up on Xoomba but if it is standard MLM structure it is legal. It is only when you don't sell a product that it is considered an illegal pyramid scheme. Also don't think it will be houseparty only, most MLM structures today allow set up of a website and you sell products that way. My guess is that somebody (may only be Sheree) believes that Sheree's name hooked to it can create sales and joining the network. Sort of makes sense, Sheree juices and eats healthy plus does work out regularly, would be great model for middle aged women. Only problem is Sheree doesn't have skill sets to do it on her own and doesn't seem to have listening skills and her ego might be to big for comfort.
Tamara,I just love your site. Regarding Sheree, I'm in the minority here, because I loved her. I personally do not like seeing anyone fail, and the woman has 2 children to support. It irks me when people are thrilled with the misfortunes of others. I hope her training gig works out. Peace and God Bless….
