Filming for season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is well underway, and fans are rejoicing over the fact that new diamond holders are in our midst! Viewers can still expect to see Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, and Crystal Kung Minkoff return with fan favorite ‘friend of’ Kathy Hilton.
However, the expansive cast does not end there — Diana Jenkins will join as a full time housewife, and we will also meet ‘friend of’ Sheree Zampino!
Who is Sheree Zampino, and how does she fit into the cast?
Sheree made her cameo on RHOBH during a dinner scene with her friend, Garcelle, who is her connection to the group. However, this wasn’t Sheree’s first time in the spotlight.

Get to know Sheree Zampino!
1. Sheree is Will Smith’s ex wife
Sheree and Will wed in 1992, before ending their marriage 3 years later in 1995. The couple share a son, Trey Smith, who is now 29.
Just two years after Will and Sheree called it quits, Will began his relationship with Jada Pinkett. In fact, not only are Sheree and Jada friends, the former couple take trips together sans Jada! Talk about healthy co-parenting.

2. Sheree starred in VH1’s “Hollywood Exes”
Sheree starred alongside several other ex-wives of celebrities to include Shanna Maokler, Jessica Canseco, and Andrea Kelly. Unfortunately, VH1 pulled the plug in 2014, leaving the reality show with just three seasons.
3. Sheree owns her own skin-care brand
In 2006, Sheree established “Whoop Ash” – a white honey mango and shea butter body cream! According to their website, Sheree says that “When I Googled recipes that contained honey much to my surprise what popped up were recipes that were for the body, topically that is. I learned that honey has been used for thousands of years as a staple in skincare regimens of Royalty. Well, that peaked my interest and presented a new opportunity & challenge! So, I pulled out my big Gumbo pot and I started to play with the best ingredients for nourishment, moisturization & skin preservation.”

From clothing, body butters to culinary, Sheree has her hand in many pots! Plus, she’s posting all about it on her secondary Instagram account reecipes_by_sheree.

Considering the cast is still filming, we have to wait a bit longer before both the trailer and premiere date are released. However, we DO know this — Garcelle will finally have an ally on the show! Even though most of the ladies ended on good terms after the season 11 reunion, having a friend in your corner is critical if you are going to survive on Housewives.
I look forward to meeting and learning more about Sheree Zampino and how she intertwines with the cast!
