Sheree Whitfield celebrated her 53rd birthday on Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta episode with a few of her co-stars, and afterward, she addressed the controversy surrounding why her boyfriend, Martell Holt, 41, didn’t pay.
After Kenya Moore, 52, famous that Martell had requested for Cash app donations from those that attended the dinner, Sheree argued with Sanya Richards-Ross, 38, who initially believed Martell ought to’ve picked up the invoice, and mentioned the visitor record for the occasion.
“Everybody could not make the list. I’m sorry,” Sheree stated on the August 13 episode of the RHOA: After Show. “I know some people were upset… [Kandi Burruss, 47], she’s always saying she’s so busy, so I didn’t think she’d be unbusy to come to little old me, my birthday.”
In addition to Kandi, Drew Sidora, 38, was left off the record. But she didn’t thoughts the snub, saying, “It was fine,” and noting that she “didn’t take any drama towards it.” Meanwhile, Kandi felt she ought to’ve been on the record.
“It wouldn’t be the first birthday dinner that I missed of hers. She’ll say, ‘Oh, well, you know, I knew you guys are busy and it was last minute.’ But [Marlo Hampton, 47] was there. Even [Cynthia Bailey, 56] was there, and Cynthia just got to town. Sanya [was] there… Was [Courtney Rhodes, 48] there? I guess I missed the memo on this one,” Kandi shared.
Then, after signaling to potential “collusion,” Kandi stated sure solid members have accused her of “not being a friend” — all whereas leaving her out.
“They always try to act like I’m not being a friend to them, but realistically, they don’t invite me to a lot of their events,” she identified. “I just was like, ‘I see what’s going on,’ but it’s cool. At least I didn’t have to be a part of how we’re splitting the bill.”
And talking of the invoice, Kenya stated in one other section of the RHOA: After Show that “everyone thought [Martel] should’ve picked up the bill,” together with Marlo and Sanya.
“Marlo and Sanya also thought it, and they were laughing behind Sheree’s back,” she famous.
And Kandi agreed, saying, “They hanging right under your neck. They are making you think that they are so cool with you, they don’t really care about you the way that you think.”
As for Sheree, she introduced up “a conversation” Marlo and Sanya had concerning the subject behind her again.
“I’mma tell you who I heard it was. I heard it was Courtney,” Marlo alleged as she and Sanya denied any potential trash-talking.
But regardless of the criticism, Sheree stated Martell ought to’ve by no means been anticipated to select up the invoice for her birthday dinner along with her castmates.
“At the end of the day, it was just a little much for anybody to think they were gonna come to my birthday party and not bring me a gift and not do this and think you’re gonna get your meal paid. We’re not married or anything like that,” she defined. “I have not been to dinner with anyone whose guy paid for me, period, by myself, any of you guys. Typically, when it’s a birthday party, people chip in for the birthday girl, especially if you ain’t bringing a gift.”
“Y’all have not been together that long for him to pay the bill that we had for that whole table,” Marlo agreed.
According to Sanya, she initially thought Martell would pay — however solely as a result of she didn’t notice how new Sheree’s relationship with Martell, who she was first linked to in July 2022, was.
“The thing is, Sheree, when we first thought we were gonna have the dinner, I thought it was gonna be just me you and Ross,” Sanya advised Sheree.
“But when you got there and figured it out, you wanted your meal to be paid for? When you got there… empty handed?” Sheree replied, signaling to the truth that Sanya didn’t carry a present.
“Empty-handed? I literally found out about your birthday party the day before. You’re not 5-years-old. I’m not gonna run to the store to go buy you a gift. You’re grown,” Sanya clapped again.
But their dispute continued, with Sheree eager to know why she would pay for Sanya and her husband Aaron Ross’ dinner.
“I paid for y’all to eat at Ross’ birthday party. I didn’t ask y’all to chip,” Sanya reasoned.
Then, when Sheree acknowledged that she shouldn’t be anticipated to pay for something on her birthday, Sanya clarified that she thought Martell would pay for her.
At that time, Sheree threw shade at Aaron, accusing him of wanting Martell to pay for his meal.
“Why would he pay for you and your husband?” she requested. “Ross shouldn’t even want a man paying for him and his wife. That is your husband. Your husband shouldn’t even want another man paying for you.”
Right away, Sanya stated it was she who anticipated Martell to pay, not Aaron.
“I have been to many birthday dinners where the man has paid for everybody,” she added, noting that Aaron truly tried to pay for the dinner however was knowledgeable that somebody already had.
“I have too when it’s all girls. But why would you want a man to pay for you and your own husband? You expected them to,” Sheree fired again.
When Sayna then argued that she’s been on dates the place a man paid, signaling to previous outings with Kandi and Todd Tucker, 50, during which Todd paid, Sheree argued that she was referring to outings between simply 4 folks and Sanya stated it was truly “eight.”
Continuing on, Sanya tried to drive house the truth that she didn’t initially issue within the size of Sheree and Martell’s romance and defended herself towards Sheree’s gift-shaming.
“I’m shaming everybody. Y’all came [expecting free dinner]… It’s my birthday,” Sheree declared.
In response, Sanya alleged that Sheree had didn’t get her a birthday present on two separate events and added that she received Sheree a present for her birthday the earlier 12 months.
“My birthday has past two times. You never got me a gift … [And] I bought you a gift last year. I got you some like Versace slippers or something last year for your birthday … We got you some bedroom slippers, they were either Gucci or Versace.”
As Sheree denied having the gadgets, Marlo stepped in to chill issues off between the ladies, saying, “Well I love you guys. We love each other.”
And each Sheree and Sanya agreed.
“I don’t have no beef I’m just trying to clear it up,” Sanya famous.
