 Sheree Whitfield talks with Essence.com about her clothing line, scoop on her plans to relocate, Kim Zolciak and the RHOA girls, and if she would return for a third season of RHOA. Check ou the xclusive interview here:

ESSENCE.COM: Congrats on your first fashion show in New York. What did you take away from the experience?
SHEREE WHITFIELD: It was amazing. It was my way to test my line in the New York market, the world’s fashion capital. I got a lot of positive feedback and support from the fashion industry. You really have to be hands on. I feel like I need to move to New York to really be there. I tried here in Atlanta and it really did not work and it went well in New York, but I had to go back and forth a lot. I love it in New York and would love to live there and still keep a place in Atlanta when I want to slow down.

ESSENCE.COM: Back in Atlanta you had a little help from Dwight with your other show.
SHEREE WHITFIELD: Working with Dwight was okay, but it came off like he did a lot more than he did. He came in on the last week and had some great ideas, but I also had some people in from New York working on it already. We pulled it off and it was awesome. I saw what he was saying in the confessional and was like, “Wow, you didn’t do this by yourself, honey.”

ESSENCE.COM: During your appearance on “Ellen,” you and Kim went at it. Any chance you’ll mend your friendship?
WHITFIELD: That piece of trash! Kim loves attention. TV made me and Kim’s relationship seem different than it was. She and I were never friends. I don’t believe in messing with married men. If she can do that to someone else, she’s no one that I would ever really hang out with. She’s on TV and doesn’t feel bad messing with a married man. How dumb can you be? Those vows are sacred. But to each his own.

ESSENCE.COM: Well, this season NeNe and you aren’t fighting. Is the truce still in effect?
WHITFIELD: We’re still cordial. We have mutual respect. I did not read her book, but I did read the chapter on Sheree.

ESSENCE.COM: Everybody is still saying ‘Who Gon’ Check Me Boo?’ Was that always your phrase?
WHITFIELD: It just came to me in that moment. Now I use it because everybody else is (laughs.) You can get the official ‘Who Gon’ Check Me Boo?’ shirts on my site.

ESSENCE.COM: Work it! On a serious note, we were so sorry to hear of the passing of Kandi’s former fiancé AJ. Have you been in touch with her?
WHITFIELD: I was in Jamaica with a friend of mine and AJ’s when I got the news. I sent Kandi my condolences and let her know I was praying for her and there for her and his family. She immediately text me back. She is such a sincere person and has a kind heart. She has been going through a lot, as you’ve seen on the show. I made sure I was at the funeral to show her my support. I think that everyone realizes that nothing is promised. I want to live a happy, positive life and live it to the fullest. Enjoy the people in your life while you can.

ESSENCE.COM: Definitely. So, are you still the queen bee of the cast and would you do another season?
WHITFIELD: That’s definitely still my character. However, this season they have honed in on different aspects of my personality as well. As for another a season, I probably would.
