Sheree Whitfield Speaks on The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Life is good these days for Sheree Whitfield.

Along with Nene Leakes, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, Deshawn Snow and Kim Zolciak, Sheree is a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It's the highest rated edition of thie Bravo franchise.

Whitfield recently spoke to People Magazine about her experiences on the series:

How has your life changed?
My life [is] absolutely fabulous. I have received a lot of positive feedback. I was so amazed at how many people watch the show. I knew the gay guys would watch, but so many straight guys watch it, old men, young men, older women and younger women. I love it! It’s been a great ride so far.

Do you think the show portrayed you accurately?
Hopefully, the editors, [next] time around, will allow people to see more of who I am as a person and instead of everything being so one-sided. I am a mom. I am a sister. I am a daughter. I am friend. I am all of those things and the character on television is not me everyday. There is a softer side to me and I hope the editors relay that next season. I feel they did what they had to do to make a great show and they did that. The ratings are off the chain! That is me that you see, yes, but it’s not who I am everyday. They focus on one aspect of my personality.
