Whitfield, who was seeking 12-month protective orders against the three bloggers , was initially granted a temporary protective order against Brawner, who was the only one out of the three to actually be served. The matter was then scheduled for hearing 10 days later to determine if the 12-month TRO would be granted.

According Brawner's blog, the hearing was held on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, and the judge denied the Former Real Housewife of Atlanta's TRO request. Brawner writes:
"In court this afternoon, the judge heard both sides of the case. I explained that I went to Chateau Sheree and took some pictures on one occasion. I testified that I had never seen Sheree anywhere ever; nor had I ever attempted to contact her in any way. I also explained I was given permission by the men in physical control of the site to enter the property. I also mentioned that Sheree does not own said property."She further writes:
"Sheree testified that she was afraid for her life. She stated that I was parked outside her property at all hours of the day and night. Under questioning, she was unable to state any time that I had threatened her or harassed her. She admitted that she was not the property owner. She said she was the builder. She said she was there almost every day with her children and they were afraid of me. She admitted that she had shared the blueprints for Chateau Sheree on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. She admitted that she had invited cameras on the property for the show....
The judge ruled that there was nothing to support a stalking protective order. Her request was denied. Because Sheree claims to be in fear for her life he indicated that he was sure I would be willing to agree to stay away from her."

| Michelle Brown (aka Atlien) and Bob Whitfield |
Perhaps the most interesting development in the entire stalking matter came from Michelle Brown's blog Straightfromthea.com. Brown, who is rumored to be dating Whitfield's ex-husband and former NFL player Bob Whitfield (pictured above with Brown), explains Sheree's possible motive behind her TRO filing:
As you know, I’ve always maintained that it’s Sheree’s goal to STAY front & center in the public. Well now she’s prepping to appear on Iyanla Vanzant‘s ‘Fix My Life’ to discuss her life after the housewives and her goals in moving forward with her life.
According to the press release: On April 20, Vanzant works with Whitfield on her relationship with ex-husband and former NFL player Bob Whitfield, who she battled in numerous episodes of RHOA. The two actually sit down together to hash out their problems, discuss co-parenting and reveal how they truly feel about each other.
Needless to say, all of this ‘blogger drama’ was masterfully crafted to get her name out in the world again.
When Sheree’s contract with The Real Housewives of Atlanta ended last year, there was a non-compete agreement which stated that she could not do any other reality television programing for at least 1 year after the last air date of the season. That happened to be April 8, 2012. (See where I’m going with this?)Whether or not Sheree's motive for filing the TRO against the three bloggers was to drum up attention for her appearance on Iyanla Vanzant's "Fix My Life," one thing is for sure, it was inappropriate and trespassing for Brawner (reportedly a white woman in her 40s) to enter Chateau Sheree (private property) for a blog post.
I wonder would the outcome have been different if Michelle Brown and Quintin Latham had entered Kim Zolciak-Bierman's home while it was under construction, and Mrs. Zolciak-Bierman would have filed TRO against them. Do you see where I am going with this?
