Shereé Whitfield from The Traitors season 2 had a close relationship with her The Real Housewives Of Atlanta co-star Phaedra Parks. However, Shereé attempted a sneaky strategy to support Phaedra in the game, despite Phaedra being chosen as a Traitor on the first day. Phaedra had to keep her true intentions hidden from Shereé and the other players in the castle, which proved to be a challenging task.
In an interview with In Touch Weekly, Shereé revealed her determination to keep Phaedra in the game regardless of her role. Shereé knew early on that Phaedra was a Traitor. She understood that one of the four housewives in the castle had to be a Traitor. Despite this knowledge, Shereé never let Phaedra know she was aware of her true role. In fact, Shereé tried to convince others that she did not believe Phaedra was a Traitor. Instead of exposing Phaedra, Shereé chose to remain loyal and keep quiet.

Shereé believed that staying loyal to Phaedra was essential for her own survival, despite Phaedra's intentions to target the Faithful.

Shereé believed that Phaedra was not a Traitor during The Traitors season 2. However, her actions during the round table voting sessions tell a different story. It is possible that Shereé's current version of events may not align with what actually happened.
With The Traitors season 2’s finale coming up soon and Phaedra recently kicked out of the game, Shereé is in a tricky situation heading into the last episode. Even though she's probably not seen as a Traitor, she'll need to really compete for a spot in the final round. Shereé has a chance to make it to the end, but she'll need to put in the effort to win the prize on The Traitors.
The Traitors airs every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Peacock.

Her willingness to risk her own survival for a friend speaks to the power of human connection and the complexities of navigating a treacherous environment. Ultimately, Shereé's experience in "The Traitors" serves as a reminder that trust and loyalty are double-edged swords, and players must carefully weigh the potential risks and rewards before making decisions.
