Sheree Whitfield has reportedly been hit with a massive tax lien.
According to a new report, the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star has failed to pay a total of over $100,000 in taxes, and now, the government wants her to pay up.
"The federal government filed a tax lien against Whitfield on Dec 12, 2013, in which the IRS accuses her of failing to pay her taxes for the year 2011," Radar Online reported on May 27. "According to the lien, Whitfield failed to pay a total of $111,226.58 in income tax."
For years since her exit from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Whitfield has been dealing with financial issues. In early 2013, it was reported that Whitfield had been slapped with another tax lien, which accused her of owing $41,752.83 for unpaid taxes for 2009 and 2010. Also in 2013, Whitfield was ordered to pay her divorce attorney $119,000 for an unpaid bill.
Although an exact reason for Whitfield's exit from the Bravo series was never confirmed, she claimed it was her choice to leave the show, telling Wetpaint Entertainment she had simply felt that her role on the show had run its course.
However, a source told Radar Online in 2012 that Whitfield was actually fired from the series because of her diva behavior.
“Sheree was fired,” the source told Radar. “She was demanding more money and that didn’t go over well with show executives. They are tired of dealing with her diva attitude and demands. Executives think she's just boring and they want someone new on the show."
