: ATLANTA – (AP) A lawyer for Bob Whitfield's ex-wife said Sheree Whitfield has dismissed her appeal seeking alimony because the former Atlanta Falcon has blown his fortune.
Michael Weinstock said before the Georgia Supreme Court that Whitfield hasn't paid any child support for his two children.
Bob Whitfield's lawyer, Chistopher Olmstead, said Monday that 38-year-old Sheree Whitfield, a star of the TV reality show "Real Housewives of Atlanta," should pay penalties for bringing a frivolous appeal.
Weinstock said the appeal was legitimate but that it is now irrelevant because Bob Whitfield is broke.
Whitfield is 37 and played for the Falcons for 12 years before retiring in 2007. He married Sheree Whitfield in June 2000 and separated three years later. She filed for divorce in 2005.
@ lilhairdreads..I completely agree!!! Karma is a mofo..all that bragging she did about 6 and 7 figure settlements...got her about 6 or 7 cents... compared to what her greedy *** wanted. She dismiss the appeal, not because he broke, but because somebody talked her *** down from that far out limb she was standing on...Well at least she had one friend, because her lawyer wasn't gonna tell her she didnt have a chance in hell. He would of gotten paid any *** way regardless!
The free ride is over. She was crazy not to build herself something that would fortify her while she had the chance during the marriage.
The way she acted on the show she also never read a book or anything on busines, because the first thing she would've learned is in order for people to buy your product, you must sell yourself first.
She actually did the opposite and made her future customers hate her!
I do not think Bob is broke. I think Sheree could not pay the $2,500.00 if her case was proven frivolous so she backed down. I think somebody told her she did not have a chance in hell in winning her case. I think she and her lawyers are starting rumors about Bob because they are bitter they cannot get anymore money out of him.
Most likely she's been advised to take what she got and keep it moving before she ends up with alot less. It's 2009 and from what has been made public she got enough to build a future and make a nice home for her and her kids. What's wrong with going back to middle class? Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Exactly why she should of *** her mouth while this was still in court. Well live and learn.
Oh well, Sheree, them's the breaks! Get over it already and get a freaking J.O.B. While she was so busy throwing parties for all the "beautiful people" in her home, fronting like she had something when she really has nothing, she should have been networking with some of her truly affluent guests in hopes of landing some work. She kills me being uppity for no apparent good reason. Uneducated and trifling; not a good look, Sheree – not a good look AT ALL!!
@hersheykiss: Sheree's first daughter is the one she had when she got pregnant at like 15. However she doesn't acknowledge the girl at all or allow her first daughter to call her mom. She did an interview with either Essence or Ebony and took a picture with her two kids from the football player and her first daughter and referred to the girl as a "family friend"
I think it's truly ironic that all her slick talk has back fired in her face. She talked so much ish about Ne-Ne, however Ne-Ne is still married and has her own show. Lesson to be learned...don't look down on others and don't talk ish. She lost that house too,so now who's ghetto! Aint nothing classy about broke!
oh well *** happens. I guess if she was spending more time checking her man bank account rather than spending every penny she got her hands on she might have realize he was broke or that she was breaking him. I hope she enjoyed the ride cuz it's over now, I guess she better tale back that 3000 dollars purse and them shee by sherre outfits she had made and find her a apt to move in. Tell me what y'all think. Holla back miami in the house
YES!! JUSTICES PREVAILS!
I'M GLAD SHE WILL NOT BE GETTING ANYTHING. THIS WOMAN IS DISPICCABLE. GROWN AZZ WOMAN NEED TO GET A J-O-B. I'M TIRED OF SO-CALLED GROWN WOMEN BEING LAZY,SITTING ON THEIR UNEDUCATED AZZES LOOKING FOR A MAN TO SUPPORT THEM..GET A JOB,DAMMIT!! I'M SOOOO GLAD SHE DIDN'T WIN,*** SKANK...SHE A SIMPLE NEGRO.
the clock is ticking before dis bytch is dead broke and she gon be right back where she started: in Buckhead lookin for the next chump. She ain't nothin but a hoe and Bob is a cool guy when I talked to him. And to think when I first saw her I thought she looked professional. I guess hoes comes in all shapes and classes. High class useless hoe. She know she gon lose now she hatin talkin bout he broke. Bytch please! U an official golddigger now. Since u talk so much everybody knows now.
I also wanted to say that Karma is an ugly beyotch that you can expect to see when you have hidden agendas. She can make money being a public speaker for the 'Not counting your money before it is taken from your ex and deposited into your shoe account" seminar. Keep the cover charge low or it will turn out like that......I won't say it again!!!!!!!
I don't understand what is the big deal. When you marry a rich man, usually, he expects his wife to take care of the household and children, which, means she cannot devote any time to her career or making her own. When things don't work out, why do men get upset when their ex-wives want alimony? She deserves that at least because she could have made a career of her own, but intead, she decided to take care of you and not work or educate herself. Now what she is supposed to do, move back to her mama's? Pay up!!
LOL- Assets beget assets....this is what happens when you're a liability. You liable to leave the way you came. I have no sympathy for this lazy, self-entitled stuck-up hag.
@dagreat1- right! I've never earned anything I didn't' work for...nor did I expect anything when I didn't work toward it. I can take care of me and him if necessary. That's how its supposed to roll in a marriage. For better or worse isn't just about financial ups and downs....jump to the bump
LOL @cutenkinky: I thought the exact same thing! The way she carried on during the show I thought they had been married for the entire duration of his NFL career, and I just read today they were only married for three years. In my opinion a couple million dollars in money and property is a pretty *** generous settlement considering the *** duration of their marriage.
she needs to get off her *** and go get a real job. and why is she still on the housewives show?? she (probably) ain't got a house. she's not a wife. hello??? are there not any other more admirable women in ATL?? of course it's the show about the black folks that has this sort of mess going on....j/*** (kinda)
Bob is actually one of the Few ex-NFL players that is not FLAT Broke after playing. He's doing quite well for himself. I guess he knew he had too since he had that GRIMY AZZ B*TCH to feed.
SHE IS A LOSER!!! GET A LIFE AND A JOB!! AS A MATTER OF FACT, go work on your SHEE by SHEREE CLOTHES
SHE WAS BOUNCING CHECKS ALL OVER ATLANTA, trying to front for that show!!WOMEN LIKE THAT DISGUST ME.
Sheree needs to take her silly self down to the nearest Waffle House and apply for a job. At least that way she can have a little extra for all those shoes she likes to buy -- she'll just have to change where she shops -- Payless will be more her speed now. Not that those ugly shoes she was buying didn't look like they came from Payless. Wait, wait, what am I saying, Payless shoes look better than that mess she was buying from that shoe man.
That DUMB B*TCH needs a PSYCHOLOGIST -- BADLY!
She's SO obliviously arrogant that she can't even SEE how stupid she looks to the public. She DISMISSED that case citing that he's "broke" to save face because she's EMBARRASSED that her business is out on the street about getting less than $28K/year in child support. HAH!
LOSER -- go get a JOB.
Sidebar: Okay, wait. If they were married in 2000 and separated 3 years later, WHO's kids are those?!?! They oldest two are WAY older than 8. Did they have the kids BEFORE being married? I'm confused!
ALSO, HOW IRONIC that they MARRIED when his deal with the Falcons STARTED and SEPARATED when he got cut. GREEDY B*TCH.
