Exes Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman's truce on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 certainly didn’t last long.
When we last saw the estranged spouses, they'd just had an amicable discussion about co-parenting during a family football practice with Josiah, Machai, and Aniya. By the time RHOA Season 16, Episode 6 rolled around, however, they were back to their opposing sidelines, as Drew prepared to vacate their family home for a couple days.
"Every first, third, and fifth weekend, I have to leave my house, and Ralph, he gets to come upstairs, basically, to have his parenting time with the kids," Drew explained, referencing a court order stipulating that her estranged husband live separately in the basement while they continue to cohabitate. "It's just all very emotional for me. It's sad, and it's probably the hardest part right now, going through our divorce."
Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman argue over finances
When Ralph emerged for the hand-off, Drew brought up that, "under the order," he was also "supposed to call the exterminator." As they disagreed on the validity of that being his responsibility, the conversation quickly went left.
"I've been covering the exterminator when he came," Drew claimed. "But since my lawyer said it's technically something you're supposed to do, I was like, cool. That just takes something else off my plate 'cause I already have so much on my plate."
Ralph immediately shot back, "Like what? You don't have anything on your plate. You don't pay the bills here."
As he repeatedly asked Drew exactly what she has on her plate, she abruptly ended the conversation, telling him, "We're not getting ready to do that."
In a confessional, Ralph alleged, "Drew doesn't have to pay any bills," adding, "I pay for everything. I'm like, 'You can pay the exterminator bill.' I mean, what is that? 100 bucks? This is typical Drew. But it always causes conflicts with us because that's not how you manage a relationship effectively, [and] that's definitely not how we gonna be able to manage co-parenting."
How Drew Sidora reacted to her and Ralph's disagreement
Though she exited the house before the disagreement escalated, inside her vehicle, Drew fumed that she was "so mad," calling the situation "bulls--t."
"This is just typical Ralph," she added in a confessional. "[He] loves to trigger me, he loves to dance on these nerves. I think, for me, what I've learned is my responses have to be different, and that's what good therapy will do for you."
After her sister, Allison joined her and asked if she was OK, a "flabbergasted" Drew responded, "It's just stupid. Like, we don't have to even argue, we don't have to have this interaction. Whenever I leave, [he's] not even ever upstairs. That was weird... Trying to coparent with this man is impossible."
Where Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman's relationship stands now
While updating her RHOA castmates Kelli Ferrell, Shamea Morton, Angela Oakley, and Porsha Williams on the status of her and Ralph’s divorce earlier in the episode, Drew revealed that she was "getting ready for court," at the time. (Both parties first began legal proceedings to end their marriage in February 2023.)
"The interesting thing is, because we still live in the same house, we are co-existing in a way that feels like we're still like "family" sometimes," she shared with the other women.
Later commenting on her and Ralph's strained relationship in a confessional, Drew added, "I want to hope that we can just be friends one day — but today is not the day."
As the drama plays out on RHOA, don't miss what else Drew spilled about her "sh-tshow" divorce from Ralph.
