TVGuide Uses Sheree Whitfield Picture When Drag Queen Dies

October 5, 2012 by tamaratattles 28 Comments

Okay. I swear to you this is not a joke. I thought it was when I read it too. I am FURIOUS that none of y’all alerted me to this! Apparently, three days ago, Sahara Davenport, a drag queen from Ru Paul’s show on Logo passed away. Clearly, this is sad news. What happened next is priceless.  The folks at TVguide.com ran a lovely story on Davenport’s passing and next to the story they put up an image of the drag queen. Only it was not the dearly departed drag queen at all. It was Sheree Whitfield! Sheree alerted TVGuide to the error via twitter.

Shereè Whitfield‏@IamSheree  I am sorry to hear about the lost of Sahara Davenport My condolences go out to her Family. Pls remove my picture from your website @TVGuide

TVGuide removed the picture and added the following. [Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story included a photo that was mislabeled as Sahara Davenport. TVGuide.com regrets the error.]

This is my favorite Sheree Whitfield post of all time.

    I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that people think Sheree looks like a man or that nobody knows her name is not Sahara! I remember when Sahara was competing and most people thought it was Sheree. Andy Cohen even joked about it on WWHL. The problem I am having is my computer. Thank You for responding.

    Rest In Peace Sahara Davenport.

    I retweeted her tweet when it happened. I was howling. Thought you’d see it. Then, I was not sure if sheree was just trying to be funny because they do look alike and I was too lazy to go look at tvguide.

      I don’t think Sheree has ever intentionally tried to be funny.

    Everybody talked about Joseline from LHH but I never heard too much about Sheree. That’s what all that bodybuilding will do to you especially when your features aren’t too soft to begin with.

      The beauty of the archives is that we have history at your fingertips. Reading the archives is a great way to spend a rainy weekend or just waste some time. A bookmark feature would be nice cause I can never remember where I last left off reading, but that’s a minor quibble. All in all, I highly recommend them.

        ​Back before I started blogging and had more time I would read several blogs, mostly people living abroad. I would bookmark the last page I read in my Browser list of favorites and then go back and bookmark the last page again and delete the former one. Or I would try to finish a whole month at a time and move through. It’s always sad when you catch up to real time though like binge watching something on Demand.

        FYI, I’m binge watching a show called Finding Carter on MTV now. It’s really good. It’s one of those abducted kid found at age 16? 17? and sent back to live with her “real family shows” All of that happens in episode one and it’s about the trauma of ripping the kid away from the only family she knows and dropping her into a new one.

          Is Finding Carter a true story?
          I finally finished Melrose Place!!! The ending was perfect but I don’t know what to watch now!

            No. It’s scripted but based on a lot of similar situations. ​

        I love the moving bookmark idea and think I’ll use it, from the beginning since I can’t remember where I last left off.
