This season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reality TV series is entirely scripted and even more fake than the previous 2 seasons (if that’s even possible).
2 weeks ago I received an email (as did TMZ, apparently) from a supposed loyal reader informing me that Sheree Whitfield’s $133,750 Aston Martin was repossessed by her attorneys for failing to pay them $80,000 in attorney’s fees.
Recognizing an obvious publicity stunt to drive up ratings, I ignored the email. The next day the story was all over TMZ and the blogs. It’s obvious that this episode was sponsored by Aston Martin.
Anyway, I fell asleep on last night’s episode of RHOA, but Rodney Ho of the AJC’s Radio & TV Talk blog took the time to watch last night’s episode and give his readers a rundown.
Sheree spends the episode prepping, then doing a sexy rumba at a charity event called “Dancing Stars of Atlanta,” which was held in mid-May for the Alzheimer’s Association of Georgia. All the ladies minus Phaedra Parks (prepping for her baby’s imminent arrival) show up.
Though Sheree is being her usual diva-like, over-confident self, she actually pulls it off. The editors made it seem like the other housewives weren’t all that impressed (one said it wasn’t that tough of a dance) but she did get 9’s from the judges. Plus, she raised more than $5,000 for the charity, although she felt her housewife castmates were a bit chintzy.
And good news for us: Tiy-E Muhammad, the “love doctor” (but not the real thing), is still in the picture, despite his seeming lack of real wealth or interest in it. Sheree said he’s out of town for the charity event but trailers show him popping up next week. And in episode eight, Sheree finds out the truth about him. (I guess she didn’t Google his name because the facts about him faking his credentials are readily available online. The AJC wrote about it several years ago.)
