See What Ralph Pittman Revealed to a Producer About Porsha Williams: "I Had No Idea…"

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Sundays 8/7c on Bravo and streaming next day on Peacock.
When Ralph Pittman invited Shamea Morton to dinner on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, he claimed to have anticipated a friendly one-on-one business discussion. But then — surprise! — Porsha Williams walked in unannounced.

"Disclaimer: I had no idea Porsha was gonna be arriving at all," Ralph insisted to a RHOA producer in an Episode 10 confessional.

Because Porsha had taken issue all season with ex-fiancé Dennis McKinley filming with Drew Sidora (i.e. Ralph's estranged wife), she similarly felt the need to defend the trio's on-camera outing.

"I want to clear this up," she added in a separate interview. "I'm not hangin' with Ralph, OK? I didn't call him and ask him to come to dinner tonight. This is not tit for tat. … I'm just hungry."

Why Ralph Pittman filmed with Porsha Williams on RHOA
As it turns out, Shamea was behind the whole thing. Ralph had wanted to run a podcast idea by her, since they previously appeared together on Real Talk with Atlanta Househusbands Todd Tucker and Aaron Ross.

Her reason for including Porsha? "It's very important to always have a witness because what I'm not finna do is be the person that Ralph went off with when he disappeared," she explained. "I'm not that girl. No, ma'am. And I know how this group is."

Regardless, Shamea said she didn't think there was "anything wrong with meeting up with Ralph," adding, "Honestly, I don't know if Ralph had any ill intent in reaching out to me, but you know what, I'm a concerned citizen. And if [the] people of the United States of Atlanta want to know if Ralph's wife and Dennis are making hot dogs, it's gonna be gotten to the bottom of."

Ralph Pittman addresses Drew Sidora and Dennis McKinley's relationship
Before Porsha even showed up, Shamea wasted no time addressing "the elephant in the room," bringing up his and Drew's "heartbreaking" divorce. When Ralph mentioned his ex's "situation with Dennis" Shamea added her opinion that their friendship is "so inappropriate."

Even so, Ralph revealed, "Dennis reached out to me to get the blessing," adding that he appreciated the "respect" of him running their business relationship by him first.

When Porsha arrived, however, she dropped the bombshell that Dennis had texted her about Drew supposedly "trying to sleep with" him, even though her ex previously insisted in Episode 9 that she was "interpreting that incorrectly." In a confessional, Porsha claimed she simply wanted Ralph to know that "Drew and Dennis had not had sex because he was basically telling her no."

Meanwhile, Shamea asked Ralph if he believed that Drew and Dennis were "romantically linked," to which he replied, "I don’t know. I thought she had somebody else that she was dealing with."

How Drew Sidora reacted to Porsha Williams filming with Ralph Pittman
RHOA newbie Angela Oakley spilled the tea about the dinner to Drew, but the latter was more concerned with Dennis' text message than the meetup itself. Plus, she and Ralph had already "ceased communication" three weeks earlier, following their contentious court hearing. 

At the very least, Drew was unbothered enough to still attend the May 11 episode's Pampered by Porsha event. "Things have been intense between Porsha and I for a few weeks now, but she did invite me and I'm gonna see what’s up," she explained in a confessional. "And that's that."

Porsha, for her part, told Angela that "even if there was a place to fix" her friendship with Drew, she still couldn't get past the fact that she "talked about [her] child," Pilar Jhena “PJ” Mckinley, and supposedly said that she would be the one to pay for her college education someday.

Later, though, Porsha expressed interest in keeping the peace — for now.

"When it comes to Drew, at a certain point, you have to decide not to keep arguing with somebody who is dead-set on believing their lie or what they [are] telling themself or the narrative that they want people to believe," she added in a confessional. "I don't wanna argue with her [anymore]. This is what I call growth, OK?"

As the drama plays out, don't miss how Dennis defended himself for filming RHOA with Drew "behind [Porsha’s] back."
