NeNe Leakes’ surprise appearance in Jamaica to film for The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Season 8 group trip seemed like a genius idea for the show’s new season! But according to new reports, Shereé Whitfield was initially supposed to pull a similar stunt during the show’s seventh season, though contract issues ultimately led to her passing up on the gig!
We all know that Whitfield is now an official member of RHOA’s Season 8 cast. However, the new reports detail that the reality star was in talks to come back for Season 7 during the ladies final group trip.
Reports detail that Whitfield’s Season 7 story line would have consisted of her crashing the girls' trip to Thailand. But she ended up turning down the offer due to her contract requirements not being met the reports claims.
However, seeing that they didn’t want to waste the dramatic ambush idea, the idea was placed on the back burner until Leakes’ exit from the show this summer.

Leakes claimed that she was done with RHOA after her tumultuous seventh season on the show. But on Wednesday she confirmed that she had indeed made a surpass appearance during the girl’s Jamaica trip, much like Whitfield was reportedly set to do for Season 7!
Whitfield’s return to the show has been marked with tons of drama, including claims that her promised full-time role was cut down to a part-time spot. And sources also claim her screen time has been cut down as well, with claims she’ll only be appearing during the first 11 to 12 episodes of the new season!
Whitfield hasn't responded to the talk surrounding her RHOA return. But the addition of Leakes to the already packed Season 8 cast has fans quite excited about what the show’s return will have in store!
