BravoShereé Whitfield helped bring the drama when she returned to Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta and there appears to be no love lost between her and co-star Kenya Moore, who she says has "no class."
The 45-year-old appears on season eight, which began two weeks ago, after being away for three years. She and Moore, 44, got into a confrontation over their unfinished homes, which are located near each other.
"Let me be very clear, the word 'friend' is a big word with lots of meaning. I did not have any sort of friendship with her prior to the show, aside from a couple quick passings via mutual friends," Shereé told E! News exclusively. "She has no class to have said what she has said, especially to someone she doesn't know very well."
"Good thing for her, I am an entirely different woman than I was when I first started the show," she said.
Shereé said she is "enjoying this season of being back where I started."
"We are a very diverse cast of strong personalities, but at the end of the day we have one thing we are looking out for—ourselves," she told E! News. "There are many surprises coming from me in coming episodes!"
Moore talked about Shereé in a post on her Bravo blog.
"Now, I don't count someone else's money," she wrote. "However, Shereé chose to purchase an existing home and tear it down to then build a custom 16,000+ square foot mansion with cash—and that's her business. With that said, it becomes the City of Atlanta's business when the build takes over four years, making it an eye sore for the neighbors and a nuisance by bringing property values down."
"When I stated the obvious ongoing issues, Shereé took to unnecessary jabs at my home," she said. "Things escalated from there because I touched on a sensitive subject. We are both strong women and prideful. I could have taken the high road and simply offered to start a Kickstarter campaign for her to finish building her house. Sheree came for me...what did you expect from Twirl?"
Shereé told E! News that when she purchased the lot for her family home, she "thought it would all flow and be done in no time."
"However, that could be farther from the truth, especially when you are a perfectionist," she said. "Then there is the contractors and everyone trying to take advantage of you."
"For years since, I have stayed focused on producing TV projects, acting, my fitness line and all my other entities along with my kids," Shereé added.
The reality star has also been keeping busy with charity work. She recently donated $15,000 to the Gotta Have Soul Foundation to pay for INSPYR inspirational socks that are set to be given to nearly 1,000 homeless children.
"Now finally I am settling down a bit and truly focusing on every concept of the home's finishing touches," Shereé told E! News. "It will be the home my family and I will love and enjoy and be immensely happy in!"
She and ex-husband and former NFL player Bob Whitfield share two children. She also has an adult daughter from a previous relationship. There have recently been rumors that Shereé and her ex had reconciled.
"My ex-husband and I are trying to work on being better co-parents for our children," she told E! News in response. "Through that, we must have more respect for one another after years of ups and downs. I won't ever say never, but right now I am single and I can't wait until a man sweeps me off my feet."
