Shereé Whitfield wishes she’d behaved differently in one infamous Real Housewives of Atlanta moment.
On Friday’s panel for the show at BravoCon 2023, a fan asked the 53-year-old reality star about the time she infamously pulled Kim Zolciak ‘s wig in 2009.
Though the moment went down in Housewives history, Whitfield admitted she felt remorse about how the situation unfolded.
“That is probably the one thing that I regret. Because I love Kim Zolciak,” she said. “Things got turned around, and it just didn’t go well that evening. I feel bad about that.”
On season 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Whitfield found herself in the middle of a brawl between Zolciak and NeNe Leakes. In an attempt to show the mom of six who’s boss, she tugged on her wig and moved it off-kilter.
“I did not try to pull it off, I did not want to pull it off,” she explained in a confessional at the time. “I just wanted to shift it a little bit.”
While the Bravolebrities may have had their differences, Whitfield shared that she would love to have Zolciak back on the reality show. Zolciak was one of the original Atlanta Housewives when the show first premiered in October 2008, before deciding to leave RHOA halfway through season 5.
“I’ve told her, I’ve told production, I’ve told everybody that will listen,” she said before referencing Zolciak’s recent headlines. “She’s great, she’s funny, her kids. She definitely has a story right now. “
In May, the RHOA alum and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage, citing “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.” Two months later, Zolciak rekindled her relationship with the former NFL player and filed a motion to dismiss her petition.
“They’re getting along and calling off the divorce,” a source told in July. “They’re trying to make it work for the kids.”
Despite their commitment to reconcile, their renewed relationship was short-lived. In August, Biermann filed for divorce for a second time and once again determined that his marriage was “irretrievably broken” in the documents.
Amid their marital woes, the former couple have also been experiencing their fair share of financial burdens.
The pair’s financial problems were publicized with the foreclosure of their Georgia mansion. According to a notice shared by Fulton County in February, Truist Bank planned to auction the property before the Fulton County Courthouse after the pair defaulted on a $1.65 million loan they took out for the property in Oct. 2012.
A source told at the time that Zolciak was “telling everyone this is a misunderstanding and is being sorted out.”
The couple eventually listed their mansion for sale in October.
Zolciak and Biermann purchased the home in 2012, a year after they got married. They lived there with their children: Kroy “KJ” Jagger Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, 9. Kim also has two older daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 21, whom Kroy legally adopted.
BravoCon 2023 is taking place through Sunday at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.
