Drew Sidora Shares New Update on “S--tshow” Divorce from Ralph Pittman

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Drew Sidora just gave audiences new details about where she stands with her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman.

On the Season 16 premiere, the Housewife doubled down on claims that the couple’s ongoing divorce was, in her words, a “s--tshow." It’s been one year since Drew and Ralph called it quits after a decade of marriage, and as she once shared during her June 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the communication wasn’t where she thought it should be.

“It’s disheartening; this divorce has been over a year now,” Drew said. “I would have hoped that Ralph and I could have mediated on our own, but kind of the reason we are going through a divorce is because we couldn’t ever agree on anything.”

Why Drew Sidora is unhappy with her divorce proceedings

Things between the estranged pair continue to be complicated by their living situation as they tackle cohabitation and co-parent their shared children, Machai, 9, and Aniya, 7 (Drew also has a son, Josiah, from a previous relationship).

When asked by Andy on the Season 15 reunion, Ralph wasn’t the most forthcoming about cheating rumors, though Drew said on WWHL that infidelity “wasn’t the case” when it came to their split.

“Our divorce is dramatic, it’s a rollercoaster, it’s a s--tshow,” Drew continued on the premiere.

It’s not the first time Drew referred to the situation using the term, though. “It’d be much easier if we were able to move on separately. You know, out of sight, out of mind, with your own space and your own energy,” she told People in July 2024. “But that’s clearly not in the cards. So, sharing space has been a double whammy. We’re kind of, like, the blueprint for a s--tshow divorce.”

Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman's living arrangement, explained

It was teased in Season 16's official announcement that since both filed for divorce, Ralph had been assigned to live in the basement of the sprawling home per a court’s order. Though he might refer to it as his “lower-level penthouse,” Drew touched on their living arrangements in the recent episode.

“Ralph being banished in the basement, you know, I was expecting him to take that opportunity to move out and do the things that really excite him, which is being out in the streets,” Drew said in her confessional.

Of course, it seemed Ralph wasn’t in a rush to leave, if Drew’s expression was any indication.

Drew has since transformed Ralph’s one-time office into a room with hair salon chairs, which she revealed to Kenya Moore when the latter came for a visit. The soon-to-be-ex said she was banned from entering the downstairs quarters without blatant permission, noting that Ralph even had his own entrance. Drew also had to be out of the home on the first, third, and fifth weekends of every month to allow Ralph free roam of the mansion.

She detailed how they communicated through an app supervised by the judge in their case. Though most of their conversations revolved around the children, Drew believed the messaging could help her case since Ralph allegedly used the software to fight, snitch, and “be petty,” all things that can be used as evidence as their divorce continues.

“And I would love to type a couple of middle finger emojis, but the judge can see everything,” Drew told producers. “So, I’ll let the judge decide.”

Drew Sidora's life today after her split from Ralph

Drew has not said whether she is dating since the separation, but she is making new music with Dennis McKinley, the father of Porsha Williams’ daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley. The partnership has the rumor mills oiled and greased in the Season 16 premiere, which ends with a whopping cliffhanger about the claims that Drew and Dennis are an item.
