And just like that, our housewives have completed filming the Jamaica drama. Those biting at the bit to get home could have made the 3 p.m. last flight of the day. But most of them will likely stay another night because it takes them forever to get ready to get on the plane, and because, Jamaica. There was some brief filming truck activity around Chez Parks this evening so I’m guessing she was ready to get out of there.
I’ve been asking around for information on what the hell Bob Whitfield was doing there and this is what I have found out. First, they are NOT back together. However, with Bob back in Atlanta full time which apparently occurred a couple years ago after he finished his Stanford degree, apologies for not keeping up with all that. It seems Bob has been off and on with some woman named Tisha since right around the time his marriage with Sheree was over. Back in 2013, Tisha sent an email to a blogger, Sandra Rose. claiming to have the last name of Whitfield and implying they were married. They are/were not. That relationship seems to be on again off again a lot, but I’m hearing they are currently on again. Either way, Sheree and Bob are not back together.

They have been able to tolerate each other better than they did on that pitiful episode of Fix My Life though. Mostly because he spends a lot of time with his kids. They are cordial during the kids events. For some reason (cough famewhore cough) Bob wants to do what he can to insure that Sheree stays on RHOA because she needs the money and he doesn’t want her coming after him. The more she makes, the less he has to pay in child support for the two youngest. The oldest child, who Sheree denied the existence of for years until it came out on RHOA, has a different father. At any rate, Sheree reportedly has numerous liens on Chateau Sheree and the IRS is also coming for here according to various sources. I’m not sure how Bob going to Jamaica helps her financial situation. I’m also not sure if they are going to pretend to be together on the show.
If you recall before filming began, all the RHOA were supposed to be focused on personal relationships. There was mad dash for single women Porsha, Kenya and Claudia to rope someone in quickly. Porsha’s short lived relationship with Duke Willams blew up very quickly. Claudia ended up leaving the franchise and her man. And Kenya has been playing the field all season. So perhaps, Sheree too needed a partner and decided it needed to be a man, roped Bob into it with some strings attached. Bob really does like hamming it up for the cameras. Remember this hysterical episode?
But there is some interesting news about Kenya. While a lot of sites thought she was seriously dating the white guy she brought to her hair launch event at the beginning of the season, she was actually accepting dates from several people at that time and looking for a match. I’m hearing that Kenya did not in fact go to Jamaica alone and brought someone with her. I have not been able to uncover who it is yet. But maybe she did find her match after all?
Finally, there is no filming scheduled for next week at all as most of the housewives have promotional work to do for the premiere a week from Sunday. This means I will probably be recapping a lot of weird talks shows and radio shows next week. Stay tuned. we may get more tea then. As for Jamaica, I haven’t heard of anything earthshattering that occurred down there. Usually if a big story happened, someone would sell it to a major tabloid, and I haven’t seen a thing there either.
Oh I almost forgot. I got confirmation on what I already reported that Nene was the one to initiate contact with Bravo asking to return to the show after Bravo called her bluff during contract negotiations for this season. It seems that house is not going to pay for herself. She hasn’t had a decent paycheck anywhere close to what she was offered for RHOA this season since leaving the show. There was something else about Nene but I forget what it is at them moment, and I have another show to recap now. I’ve spent way too much time on this post which really isn’t that earth shattering.
P.S. Are those really peaches on Peter’s shirt? LOL.
Thanks for blogging. Long time reader, first time commenter.
Have a nice weekend!
Phaedra looks cock-eyed (or possessed) and the shirt on Peter with the peaches…he wants to be a housewife so badly. 🙂
I personally feel porsha only got in that relationship just to get her peach back, and I guess it worked. I can’t wait to see Kim fields on Wendy Williams on November 5.
It must be killing Nene to have to come crawling back to RHOA. Isn’t our Sheree’ supposed to be a producer on a new show about real estate in the ATL?
Ha! That’s a funny story NJB. You know I keep trying to tell you that some of these “executive producer” titles are meaningless vanity labels. Well, as the story goes, Allegedly, Sheree approached Carlos with the real estate show idea. Something about assistants to realtors (which to be quite honest most of realtors don’t have, even the big ones in ATL but I digress. And Carlos sold the idea to out from under Sheree allegedly to whatever network the show is on now and left Sheree out of the loop entirely. To smooth things over with her he gave her the meaningless producer title and promised her a peach. Then he didn’t give her the peach. LOL. Now Carlos could not officially give out peaches but his input is highly regarded by Andy who is Queen of Wishy Washy.
That the word on the curb. Allegedly.
Bob is still paying child support for Sheree’s grown son Cairo? He’s over 18 years old. Do you still have to pay after 18?
Bob may owe back child support.
Bob doesn’t owe child support. Sheree got as lump sum settlement that included child support. She wanted it in one lump sum, combined with her alimony, so she can say it was a “seven figure settlement.”
She ended up getting less than what she asked for because she let Bob’s home go into foreclosure (she was supposed to be paying the bills) and he didn’t know she wasn’t paying, so when she got evicted and the home went into foreclosure, Bob lost hundreds of thousands in lost equity. That was the tidbit Sheree kept from Phaedra, and why Phaedra dropped her as a client. It was a losing case.
But we know, of Bob owed Sheree anything, she would still be dragging him through the courts. She got her (under a million) settlement, bought an Aston Martin and “built” a house. Now, she had no car, no money, and an unfinished house. She can’t blame Bob for that. But she may have humbled herself to be nice to him.. he’s probably helping her out. This is her first check in a long, long time.
Thanks for the clarification, tamara. I had a feeling that it was nene that put herself in the mix.
I think Nene didn’t think they’d can her and then didn’t think RHOA would be successful without her. The retweets from her delusional ratchet-based stans confirm that.
It appears that the ladies have rising to the occasion to handle things like grown women. As a result, of RHOA season 8 turning out to be good, with a dash of drama it’s clear Nene wasn’t “the show” as her stans claim. Yes, there’s drama but besides loose cannon Porsha who can be counted on to add ratchet for the younger audience’s appeasement it seems like they are the most cordial this season. they are having more fun and the tension and loyalty card isn’t being played as much.
Also, it feels like they are finally becoming the ensemble cast that they started out as where each women is holding their own and having their own storylines and there isn’t a HBIC turning it into a elementary school field day tug of war event.
I even can tolerate Porsha…I can’t tolerate both nene and porsha. She’ll be the livewire that makes dumb comments but serves good looks. I really think Kandi, Kenya and cynthia will be the glue keeping this group together.
I hope to God Nene is featured only as a friend… i can’t stomach even watching her.. her EGO takes on a whole universe and she’s really a legend in her own mind. I stopped watching becuz of Porsha and Nene and Phaedra is so fake.. its hard to see her.. i found myself fast forwarding and the show was over.. that was a clue i had to stop watcing! lol
There is a lot of misinformation in comments here. Bob paid child support payments and still does. I’m not alert enough to reexplain the whole thing now. While the things Sarc said about the foreclosure and the early payout by Bob so they could buy a normal house for the kids is all true that had nothing to do with his child support payments other than at some point Bob was able to get his payments reduced.
If Cairo is now 18 then the payments were reduced again and he is still paying for the daughter. If you want to know how that all worked out drop Sheree into the search box here and read the whole thing. It is much to complicated for me to explain it without going back and reading it myself.
The big picture here is that Sheree and Bob have two kids and Sheree hasn’t worked since the last time she was on RHOA and she is throwing any money she gets at Chateau Sheree and running up her AMEX and any other line of credit she can get. So Bob, for the sake of the family is trying to help her get some of that Bravo money.
And Sacr, you can’t seem to stay out of WLS even when paroled, can you?
Tamara, thanks for retea, it’s always good. I don’t know how you keep up. I hope you have a good weekend, take care of yourself, Dee 😉
Cairo is 20yo now. He turned 18 in 2013.
Jesus, really? Then Kayleigh should be 18 soon if she is not already. Time just flies by, I just they will never get to live in Chateau Sheree with the lieberry and bowling alley.
Some of you don’t seem to understand, Nene is just filming a guest spot on the Jamaica trip. She’s not on the whole season. Filming is all but over. But she is angling to return next season…
People assume that is Bob Whitfield in the picture but it appears to be NeNes oldest son.
I’m not assuming anything. It is Bob Whitfield. And Nene probably doesn’t even remember she has another son.
I also thought it was Bryson but it’s Bob. TT knows her shizz.
Is it possible that Nene thought “like Betheny” that the show wouldn’t make it without her? However Nene didn’t have the coins to to take that risks?
Love your blog Tamara, but why have your sources/info always been so off compared to what happens lately? And why do you personally hate Nene so much? lol
compared to what actually ends up happening*
Looking at Bob’s goofy looking ass in the pics. ? I missed the last episode and thought he must be a relative of Peter’s sitting in the bar with the men.they made sure to get a good shot of him tho. Crazy eyes!
