News Real housewife has bad day in court

This is really more sad than anything else.
Sheree Whitfield, a refugee of Bravo's successful train-wreck of a reality series, “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” went to court to try to get a healthy chunk of alimony from her ex-husband, a washed-up Falcons player. When she lost in Superior Court, she appealed to the state Supreme Court …
Well, you can read today's press release from the Court:
The Georgia Supreme Court has granted a motion to dismiss the appeal brought by Sheree Whitfield in her divorce from Bob Whitfield, a former Atlanta Falcons football player. She had appealed to the Supreme Court after a Fulton County court refused to grant her alimony. The couple has two young children.
On the day the parties argued their case before the Supreme Court, her lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, stating they had recently learned that the athlete had “squandered his assets.” Meanwhile his attorney filed a motion asking the Supreme Court to sanction her for bringing the appeal.
Today’s two-sentence order grants the motion to dismiss while denying the motion for sanctions.
In other words, Sheree doesn't have anything of value to show for all the time she invested. Now she knows how “Real Housewives" viewers feel.
