Sheree Zampino from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is making the show’s fans suspicious, as she offers to extend prayers to her followers in exchange for generous donations. She is the newest friend on RHOBH, and Sheree was introduced to the group through her longtime real-life BFF, Garcelle Beauvais. Sheree has been receiving rave reviews from viewers, who enjoy what she adds to the group, but some fans do have issues with her.
Garcelle started petitioning to get Sheree cast on the show in 2020. She sent out tweets that let fans know she would love to have her real-life friend join her on the show. Garcelle opened up in season 11 about how much she felt like an outcast in the predominantly white cast. Garcelle’s feuds with Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, and Dorit Kemsley only intensified her feelings of alienation from the group. Producers finally answered Garcelle’s prayers by giving her some backup in season 12, when they cast Sheree in a friend role.
Now that Sheree’s scenes are starting to air, all eyes are on the newest face to join the Beverly Hills housewives. Reddit user u/[deleted] brought attention to one of Sheree’s Instagram posts, where she provides her CashApp information while encouraging her followers to “sow a seed” into her virtual words of affirmation. “Many ask about sowing into these words (and HAVE, thank you!)” Sheree shared in a caption under one of her inspirational video posts. Sheree went on to encourage her followers to donate even $1 if they could, before reminding them that, “you reap what you SOW = no sowing, no reaping.” The Reddit user questioned if Sheree was telling her followers that they will be “blessed” if they send her money.
Fans questioned Sheree’s intentions, and highlighted the show’s history of hiring “grifters” who have been tied to scandals and schemes. “Oh, I did not know Sheree Z was running the prosperity gospel grift,” one Redditor said. Others questioned if Sheree is in need of money, and speculated as to why she might be, considering she’s Will Smith-s ex-wife. Others noted Sheree’s second marriage to a pastor, and speculated that she might have “learned” the behavior from her ex-husband. Fans expressed how “disappointed” they are in Sheree for seemingly asking for donations to extend prayers and affirmations to her followers. Redditors shared how “interested” they’ve become in Sheree due to how well she’s doing on the show. However, her social media activity has fans scratching their heads.
Sheree recently revealed that she’s had to keep herself humble since appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She has been receiving so much praise from viewers that she’s had to “check” herself so it won’t go to her head. The new Bravo star might want to look at the fan feedback on her donation requests. When it comes to the topic of integrity, starring alongside housewives like Erika Jayne and Diana Jenkins doesn’t help. Many housewives have been tied to money-making schemes. It’s likely that “grifter” is the last label Sheree wants to have tied to her name.
