Drew Sidora broke down in tears while describing her shocking split from husband Ralph Pittman on Sunday’s season finale of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta on Bravo.
The 38-year-old singer and actress and Ralph, 40, split earlier this year after nine years of marriage and she addressed the divorce filing in a confessional.
“I lost my voice in marriage and allowed things that no woman should ever allow,” Drew said five days after filing for divorce. “I allowed him to have an inappropriate relationship with women.” I allowed Tampa.’
“Did he ever come back to your room?” one producer asked, referring to Ralph leaving her bedroom.
“No,” Drew said, and then started to cry.

At 8 p.m., during Drew’s confessional recording, Mimi Faust, 53, posted a story suggesting that her ex, former WNBA star Ty Young, 36, and Drew were having an affair. News of the alleged affair reached the press at 8:01 am while Drew was still recording. She told the production that she met Ty on the set of the Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss film The Pass.
Drew said she believes Ralph leaked the rumor that she was dating Ty to the press, and then started crying.
The next day, March 4th, production also sat down with Ralph and he said he was ready to talk about Drew.
“I asked Drew for a divorce,” Ralph said. “We ended up getting into a pretty big fight and I said I wanted to file for divorce.”
Ralph called his attorney who told him he couldn’t talk about his big fight with Drew.
“Are Drew and Ty dating?” asked a producer.
“Ty and Drew are friends and that’s about all I can say,” Ralph said. “I can’t talk about it.”
Courtney Rhodes, 48, said in a confessional that she had heard Drew was bisexual and had fun with girls and that Ralph was aware of it. Courtney said she also heard that Drew was traveling to Texas to visit Ty.

Kenya Moore, 52, and Shereé Whitfield, 53, checked in with Drew while she was in the makeup chair. Drew said she felt a roller coaster ride of emotions.
“The attorney he hired went to the media, and so the headline was, ‘He Filed the Lawsuit,'” Drew said. “It was so chaotic. And then when they got the court documents, they saw that I actually got it 61 minutes earlier.’
Drew told the production that things hadn’t gotten any better with Ralph.
The season 15 episode titled Art Imitates Life began with a date of March 3, 2023 and Drew was asked by a producer how it felt during the season that something happened that she didn’t talk about.
“What do you want to tell me about what we didn’t see this year?” said the producer.
The show then went back to January 2023 when Sanya Richards-Ross, 38, had an ultrasound and Marlo Hampton, 47, accompanied her because Sanya’s husband Aaron Ross was out of town.
Drew was home planning to attend the wrap party for Todd Tucker’s The Pass when Ralph walked in. Ralph said he moved out of her bedroom but said it was because Drew came home so late from the movie.
“When are you going back in the room?” Drew asked.

Good question: “When are you moving back into the room?” Drew asked Ralph
“I don’t know,” Ralph said. “Whenever I can get some stability.”
Drew showed Ralph the video Monyetta Shaw, 43, had sent her in which Courtney called her “B****”.
“I heard Kenya call you bullshit,” Ralph said, not surprised.
Drew angrily stormed out of the room and asked someone to take the mic from her, and burst into tears to tell Ralph he embarrassed her.
Kenya Moore told her father Ronald that she wanted another child and that she still had embryos.
“Oh my god, man, you almost died last time,” Ronald said.

Kenya said she has yet to talk to Marc but legally has the right to use them. Kenya said in a confessional that she was afraid to bring it up with him.
Drew and Ralph went to Dr. Ken, her marriage counselor.
“Ralph agreed to see Dr. Ken because we’re literally fighting for our marriage at this point,” Drew said.
Ralph said he had changed and moved out of her bedroom.
“We don’t even share the same space, so we’re very separate,” Drew said.
Ralph said he moved out to get somewhere he was comfortable and said it felt “liberating”. Drew said she felt alone and that Ralph never discussed the move with her. Drew said even the kids asked her why Ralph moved out. Ralph said he only made changes that made him feel good.
“Drew loves the heat at 82 and I’m the guy who likes it more at 68, 72,” Ralph said.

Drew and Ralph came to The Pass wrap party. Cynthia Bailey appeared along with the other housewives. Backstage, Drew took pictures and hugged Ty. Courtney tried to say hello to Allison, who said she was just a fake. The trailer for the film was played in front of the audience.
“The trailer is sharp,” said Sanya.
Drew took the stage to perform her new song.
Filming for the RHOA season ended on January 28, but resumed on March 1 after Drew filed for divorce.
“Oh my god, this is bad,” Marlo said as she read the news.

“It’s sad,” Kenya said as she read the news.
Sheree called Marlo and said she was confused as to who filed for divorce first.
“It says here that she applied, but then if you click on another one it says they were on their way there and she got there an hour before him,” Marlo said.
“What’s been heard on the street now is that she’s dating Ty, basketball player Mimi’s ex,” Marlo said. “That’s what the street says now.”
Sheree was shocked because Drew had put so much emphasis on kissing a woman in Portugal. Marlo said in a confessional that Drew was there a week earlier at Ralph’s birthday party with “a girl she was dating, Ty.”
Kandi said that Drew met Ty on set.
“The rumor mill is that Ty and Drew met,” Kandi said in a confessional.

“Hard time,” said Sanya. “I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. “I lost so much blood that I had to have a blood transfusion, mostly because Ross wasn’t there. Since I was alone, it was really, really hard.”
Sanya had tears in her eyes as she shared how she told her son that she had lost the baby.
According to Sanya’s caption, her family moved to a house ten minutes away and she and Ross were already pregnant again.
