LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Are Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore beasties? LALATE can exclusively report that producers have envisioned a Sheree Whitfield, Kenya Moore feud to end the season and take the show into reunion taping next March 2016. For the next reunion, NeNe Leakes’ old chair opposite of Andy Cohen’s left will be Sheree’s, and on Cohen’s right will be Kenya Moore. Fans know that Sheree Whitfield is coming back. But producers are betting on a shocking twist of events between how Sheree Whitfield responds to her co-stars to carry the season. And when the season is over, the core storyline will be a Sheree Whitfield Kenya Moore feud, LALATE can report.

Why would Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore feud, and are they already? On Friday night, Entertainment Tonight claimed that Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore’s first meeting was explosive with the pair allegedly throwing water on each other. One follower of Moore on Saturday claimed the ET report to be false. But LALATE can exclusively report that producers want a lead-tension between Kenya and Sheree for season eight.

And it won’t be that difficult. In fact, it may have already existed for years. Viewers may or may not recall how Sheree exited the show and then returned. After season 4, RHOA salaries were exploding. Sheree wanted more money, as did NeNe Leakes. Both thought they were the stars of the show. On the eve of the BravoTV Upfronts, Sheree and Leakes were both set to appear to announce season five. And to everyone’s shock, Sheree was not there. At the time, reports claimed that RHOA let Sheree go the night before the Upfronts, choosing not to pay her salary request. Leakes jumped to a $1 million salary, and Sheree was unemployed.

Kenya Moore, meantime, was behind the scenes trying to get a peach on the show (and a roughly $350,000 first season salary). And Kenya didn’t get any peach but Sheree’s peach. Moore used Sheree’s confident, Ms. Lawrence, to get a casting audition and get the spot vacated by Whitfield. And the rest was history. Viewers were shocked when RHOA5 was announced and Sheeree’s face was gone and Kenya added.

The tensions did not end there. During season six, Sheree’s still friend Kim Zolciak accused Kenya Moore of re-issuing Kim’s “Who is Big Poppa” storyline and reinventing it as “Who is the African Prince”. Zolciak accused Moore of reusing old RHOA storylines, repeatedly.
Whitfield, however, is believed to have taken note in early summer 2015 when Moore told news that Kenya wanted Sheree back on the show, but only as a friend. Yes the shade is real. At that time insiders including LALATE believed that Sheree would be returning and likely with a peach in hand. When asked “Do you think Sheree Whitfield should be on the next season,” Moore responded “I do I think it might be a good addition”. But later Moore said Sheree was best as a “friend”. A close Twitter fan of Moore replied “If [Sheree’s] added to the cast still keep your eyes open, be guarded she tend to carry /return gossips. Read Pha inside out no games.”

Over the years, Leakes was accused of trying to twist the casting of the show to help herself. But is someone else doing that? “NeNe, from day one, has always been the biggest agitator on our show” Moore told news at the time. “I don’t want to bend over and stoop to that level, because I might just tilt my crown.”

As first reported on LALATE, your peach-holders for season eight will be Moore, Bailey and Burruss, on one side, and Whitfield, Williams, and Park, on the other side. The friends will be Jordan and Hampton. And fans should not be surprised to see cameos from others.
