Bob Whitfield bites back; Kim Zolciak shows her trivia prowess
With the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” sputtering to its season two finale tonight on Bravo with part two of the reunion show, here are a couple of juicy bits from the Web.
-Sheree Whitfield’s ex-husband Bob Whitfield recently spoke to a radio station about her. He started out nice but then got vicious.
“I wish her the best . At the end of the day, we got to get our stuff resolved, however you want to call it, for the kids.
He noted that his biggest show was the Super Bowl in 1998, far bigger than the 3 million viewers who catch new episodes of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” every week. (If you count repeats, about 13 million viewers caught an episode of the show last week.)
“I’m happy she’s doing something,” he said.
He then got harsh: “Quit trying to trash me and using my damn last name. I’m the mad scientist and created Frankenstein! I put that nose on her! I put those breasts on her!”
Three of the housewives attempted to do trivia with Jay Leno last night. Naturally, Kim Zolciak showed off she’s no Ken Jennings in this video:
Longer versions here:
And in this interview with the Los Angeles Times, it’s clear NeNe Leakes is positioning herself for bigger things. That blatant hunger for fame, which was less apparent in season one, has definitely hurt her in the eyes of the fans. In a poll I posted last week, more people wanted her gone than even Kim or Sheree. But will Bravo want to let her go just yet?
“I see outside the ‘Housewives of Atlanta.’ The show is not my life — I see past these women, and this show,” added Leakes, who wants her own talk or radio show. “I understand how necessary it is to build your brand and look to other things. I really do.”

Bob put that nose on Sheree? I wouldn’t admit that I’d paid for a nose job that looked that bad. I hope he saved his receipt. I’d ask for my money back.

I would like to know who was stupid enough to purchase Nene’s recently released book??? I can’t imagine learning much new from reading anything that she’s written and/or co-written.
Nene (brand and all) will be fading into obscurity like Amorosa when the show ends.

OMG. Sheree stated on the reunion show, that she had never had her breast augmented. My, my, my how people lie. Best wishes, to all the ladies. I hope that are successful in their lives.

I’m glad Big Bob finally spoke up. He’s right, he created that monster. Without his hard earned money, she’d probably be locked up in the system. She’s straight ghetto & will end up with nothing.

Tell it like it is BOB!!! It’s bad when you create a monster, and she really a ugly one. Always trying to act like she’s all of that and then some. You are right about your last name too, if she did not have it we would not know who she is. Nene is old new as well, Kandi rock!!!

If Jay had done it “Howard Stern” style, get an answer wrong and you take off a piece of clothing, it may have been worth watching, but even then I am not so sure.

I watched the trivia segment on the Jay Leno Show with three of the Atlanta Housewives and was embarrassed. My goodness do they live under a rock or not watch some news. At least Kandi was a bright spot and knew some answers. Duh was the operative word with these three.

Bob Whitfield should feel lucky that he is not married to that trash anymore. I don’t know why he married her in the first place, he says he put her breasts and nose on her, I wonder if he bailed her out of jail the many times she was arrested for theft. Maybe that was before they met. Kim the proud adulter and unfit mother is away for her kids again on Leno which his probably great news to her kids. NeNe’s show will be called Strippper Talk and how to blackmail a man into marrying you. I feel sorry for her husband Greg, guys this is what happens when you take the adult entertainment home with you for the night, next thing you know she moves in with you for the baby’s benefit. Lisa is no better, she says she is an actress? Kandi is Kim’s producer – hahahahahaha, and has bad bad bad bad bad bad taste in men.

WOW all the harsh sentiment towards people you don’t even know! I happen to think Sheree is a very attractive woman. Some people just love to hate.

Bravo please be more creative about Real Wives in general. Wives that truly care about their husband and children…Wouldn’t that be REAL! Oh wait a minute, its been done I forgot about Jon and Kate, never mind.

These women must be pretty freaky to keep a man coming back enough to ask them to marry. They are not young and sexy anymore so who cares.

Well, he should have spent some of that money on his ugly azz…he could have gotten his eye fixed and his nose and his mouth…his teeth, forehead, ears and neck. Everything below the neck “appears” to be okay. Sheree may have different views on that, though.

I agree with just facts, Trouble Funk and Kevin…Sheree was and will always be a hot mess.. She claims that she was going to get 7 figures from her divorce? please she is nothing but welfare trash. Did u see her clothing line? Who is going to buy that? I surely wont unless I want to look a hot mess. Sheree needs to stop lying about her body (As well as Kim, Lisa and NeNe) All of their plastic surgeries look REAL bad and look in the mirror..there’s a bigger world out here that does not concern any of them. NeNe is so concerned about her fame that its not funny… In the words of Tyson Beckford, NeNe has camera balls and she isnt afraid to show when necessary. NeNe and her husband are theives, Sheree calls Kim’s publicist cuz she ran out of money from her 7 figure divorce, Kim sleeps wit married men and Lisa is fake (not a true friend) The only housewife that I like is Kandi. At least she is real.

Correction the only housewives I like from RHOA is DeShawn Snow and Kandi Burruss… They are REAL!

Listen, I dont watch the show, but anyone of those ladies wanna a real brother to rub it down. Holla… Bob, I dont think he was cushioning Sheree enough. If he did pay for the Nose job, he may want to get his money back.

NeNe…….You destroyed your “BRAND” in season 2. You can’t blame anyone but yourself. And stop trying to blame it on editing.

Atlanta Housewives: Lipstick and Pigs is all it is. They aren’t representative of anything, much less Atlanta. They actually should change the show’s name to “Crash Test Dummies of Atlanta” and advertise as a train wreck. There will be lots of gawkers.

Sheree appears to have gotten lighter I wonder if she is using some bleaching cream because she was not that light on the first episode, Bob should know as my mom always said when you dig in the garbage you pull out trash, you can change a persons looks but you can’t change who they are and where they come from, Bob knew where he got her from and you thought your money and prestige was going to change her, NOT. YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE.

None of these women have talent, except for Candy. I could not see them succeeding in anything after the show is over. As far as Nene’s book, there are much more interesting and intelectually sophisticated books about domestic violence from other women survivors that truly can write.

Honestly I was a fan the first season, now I can’t stand to watch it. I like Kandi a lot, and would love to see her have her own show without the backup wannabes.

I do think Sheree is well spoken, and uses proper grammar. Kandi is by far my favorite! Oh gosh, are we gonna have to see Kim perform that song on the reunion tonight? That will not be pretty, but I’ll be watching anyway. Something about LIsa bugs me.

Ya’ll keep forgetting that Bob Whitfield is legally blind in one eye. For real!! He has never seen Sheree with both eyes, so he couldn’t see all the fakeness. I knew her boobies were bought, but she needs a refund for that big ol snoz on her mug. I can’t stand that eye narrowing thing she does when she poses for a pic. Someone was messing with her and must of told her that it looked cute….it doesn’t….

Big Bob Whitfield deserves a gold medal for being able to live with Sheree. That gal is an ugly, self absorbed monster that can’t get along with anyone. Now go ahead She and sic Pookie an’ nem on me.

So you guys know some background info on Sheree?? Reggie I should not be laughing about Bob Whitfield being blind in one eye, but that is hilarious. Also, Sheree’s boobs were obviously fake. Who cares anyway. I think Kandi is the most real! Nene has gone over the top, although I do like to hear her rant about mostly Kim. One the Bravo shows Andy Cohen seems to really like Kim. Who knows? It’s a trainwreck!! I was just glad I got to see Atlantic Station, in the hair pulling scene.
I do wonder how Kim will pay her exorbitant billls if she didn’t have Big Poppa. Of course she gets paid for the show, and I’m sure she will get something for that record. I feel for her kids.
