Shereé Whitfield’s Pal Courtney Rhodes Talks Martell Holt Union: “I Trust My Friend” (EXCLUSIVE)

Before Shereé Whitfield confirmed she would discuss more of her love life on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, eagle-eyed fans discovered she had begun dating an unlikely new love interest — Martell Holt of Love & Marriage: Huntsville.

Martell and Shereé have displayed their blossoming romance on their respective hit reality shows, and the crossover has certainly caused friction in their friend groups.

Additionally, Shereé has kept fans intrigued by showing her sensual side with Martell, which may or may not include them taking their dangerously good looks to OnlyFans. While many people in Martell and Shereé’s life have individual opinions about them being together, Shereé has several friends supporting her in letting her hair down.

In an exclusive interview with Distractify, Shereé ’s friend and RHOA newcomer, Courtney Rhodes, shared her thoughts about Shereé and Martell’s future.

When Shereé and Martell went public with their relationship in July 2022 after months of private dating, many fans side-eyed the RHOA OG’s choice of a romantic partner. However, Shereé said on the show that she’s having fun with her boy toy and doesn’t plan on ending things anytime soon.

Like Shereé, Courtney has nothing but positive things to say about her and Martell’s connection. Courtney, who met Shereé years ago through their children, said she has only judged the couple by what she’s seen and believes her friend knows what’s best for her.

“I trust my friend; I trust Shereé,” Courtney exclusively told Distractify, adding that she’s a ‘girl’s girl.’ “What I will say is all I've seen is happiness and excitement from her. I've been around them together quite a bit. And it's always good energy, good vibes.”

Fans are worried about Shereé due to her boyfriend Martell's past infidelity during his 14-year marriage to his LAMH co-star, Melody Holt. He had an affair with a woman named Arionne Curry, resulting in the birth of his fifth child. Some of Shereé's friends, namely Kenya Moore, are concerned that Martell hasn't learned from his past mistakes. Kenya even accused Martell of sliding into her DMs a few years ago.

Shereé and Martell moved past the issue, as she already knew about their exchange and felt it was harmless, and Martell reached out to Kenya to thank her for supporting him during his divorce from his ex-wife.

For her part, Courtney said she didn’t have any “preconceived notions” about Martell when Shereé told her they were dating. Unlike her new co-stars, Courtney didn’t watch LAMH and said she had no “background information” to go on. The jewelry designer also had a message for those in the cast who voiced their opinions about Martell and Shereé.

“We’ve watched some of the other women and how their dating lives have played out on this platform through the years — so for them to be so judgmental towards her relationship is just simply odd for me,” Courtney noted. “And I just wish her the best. Girl, have fun.”

Although Courtney gave Shereé and Martell the thumbs up, Courtney didn’t share how she reacted to her friend approaching her OWN paramour to make a few coins with her on OnlyFans.

When RHOA Season 15 premiered on May 7, 2023, fans witnessed Shereé interacting with Martell for the first time (at least on Bravo, since Shereé has also appeared on LAMH).

During one of Martell’s first RHOA scenes, he received a proposition from Shereé for them to create an OnlyFans account.

“You, me, OnlyFans?” Shereé asks Martell while they're sitting in her kitchen.

Martell responds to Shereé's request with a stunned look before the trailer cuts to him pulling his pants down as Shereé says “sex sells” off-camera.

While that famous phrase, “sex sells,” can be accurate, it doesn’t seem like the couple is going in the OnlyFans direction yet. After some digging, we couldn’t find an active OnlyFans account for Shereé or Martell. However, similar to She by Shereé’s official line, Shereé might be holding off on releasing the page as Season 15 continues.
