“At the height of Shereé’s four seasons, she was making around $350,000,” the source reveals, adding, “Producers initially offered $100,000, and Shereé balked at the insulting offer. Finally, the contract was signed for $250,000, with an option to do another season at a higher salary.”

Well, we’re excited to see what has been happening with Shereé since she left the show — we’re sure season 8 will be filled with plenty of drama!
