Sheree Whitfield won't be appearing on the upcoming 11th season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and according to a new report, her incarcerated boyfriend, Tyrone Gilliams, may be to blame. Although Bravo Tv has remained silent in regard to the casting report, Us Weekly noted on April 10 that multiple sources had confirmed Whitfield's exit from the series and said she was "very upset" about the firing.

After allegedly being fired from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" following its fourth season, Whitfield was brought back to the show in a part-time role in 2015 for the series' eighth season.

Then, the following year, she was upgraded to a full-time role. Throughout seasons nine and 10, Whitfield appeared alongside her co-stars in a full-time role before her apparent firing after the recent reunion taping for Season 10.

Tyrone Gilliams is serving a 10-year prison sentence for fraud

According to Us Weekly's report, a source revealed to them that Sheree Whitfield was officially released from her Bravo TV contract after taping the reunion special earlier this year. Although an exact reason for Whitfield's exit may never be confirmed, the insider said that it has been suspected that the legal troubles of Whitfield's boyfriend Tyrone Gilliams were to blame. Gilliams is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after he allegedly stole $5 million in fraud schemes.

“Bravo can’t film inside or even outside the jail," the source said. "This is causing a problem with her storyline."

Kim Zolciak has also reportedly been let go

Around the time Sheree Whitfield's exit was revealed, it was also noted that Kim Zolciak would not be asked to return to her part-time role on the show, nor would she be upgraded to a full-time role as many suspected.

As fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" well know, Zolciak was Whitfield's closest friend on the show and is currently busy with other things, including her marriage to former NFL player Kroy Biermann, her six children, and her successful Bravo TV spinoff series, "Don't Be Tardy."

Love B. Scott was first to share news of Sheree Whitfield's exit from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." To see the last of the former reality star, tune in to Sunday night's episode (April 15) of the second half of the reunion special at 8 PM on Bravo TV.

Neither Sheree Whitfield nor Kim Zolciak has commented on their supposed exits from the Bravo TV reality show.
