#RHOA Season 8 Cast Tea: Sheree Whitfield, Marlo Hampton ‘In’ + Kim Fields ‘Out’…
The Real Housewives of Atlanta may have lost a ‘star’ player in Nene Leakes, but it appears they’ve picked up two drama queens in return: Sheree Whitfield & Marlo Hampton!
The popular reality show has been taping around town for months now and this past weekend, the first ‘full cast’ event was held during Cynthia Bailey’s eyewear launch party. Being that the event was public, there were tons of photos that hit the net, and to everyone’s surprise ex-‘housewife’ Sheree Whitfield and former background character Marlo Hampton were spotted filming with the ladies.
Nene’s departure is clearly good news for both Whitfield, who is still knee deep in tax liens and Hampton, who has been begging to return as well. But there’s also another RHOA ‘return’ that benefited from Leakes’ departure.
Ok, before I get into all the drama of this past weekend, let me start by saying that Kim Fields has officially been eliminated from the RHOA casting pool. My sources have confirmed that Fields taped with several of the cast over the past month, but she was referred to as being ‘too dry’ in every scene. Apparently Fields chose the reserved approach and ‘Housewives’ clearly isn’t the place for that.T hat being said, Kim Fields won’t be joining this season, but Nene’s departure clearly lifted the invisible ban that was blocking both Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton’s return. Marlo is returning as a ‘friend of the show,’ and I’ve heard she will make several appearances alongside Kenya Moore, who needs a friend now that Claudia Jordan is gone.
Claudia and Nene left two peaches to be claimed and I suspect they will go to Porsha Williams and Sheree Whitfield. Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore all have secure spots w/peaches. I’ve been told that Sheree was also ‘testing’ for a spot but apparently her actions during Bailey’s launch party may have secured her a peach. Word on the curb is that Whitfield threw a drink in Kenya’s face but I’m still unclear as to the nature of their disagreement.
Whatever the case, both Sheree and Marlo are back in the game so we all anticipate another drama filled season ahead.
For the record, Nene’s departure also sparked the return of Carlos King, who is back as executive producer for season 8. So you know what that means? Drama… Drama… and more Drama!

I knew Kim wouldn't have lasted. She seems too nice for RHOA. So the only new housewife possiblity is Egypt lady? I hope she gets a peach. She seems more interesting than Sheree being that she has a husband and a little girl. Sheree is only good for arguements/drama.
For some reason I want Sheree and Marlo to get into an another iconic argument sometime this season. I hope my wish is granted.
I'm glad Kenya still got backup even though Claudia is gone the girls love to gang up on her. Thug Misses Marlo not' gon have it. I have a feeling Sheree is going to run to the Phaedra/Porsha clique.
Anyways I'm ready for November
