Drew Sidora Opens Up About Emotional Turmoil as Ralph Pittman’s Divorce Records Are Unsealed: “It Feels Like a Nightmare”
Drew Sidora’s divorce from her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, is becoming increasingly contentious.
In the April 20 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the 39-year-old reality star prepared for yet another court appearance. This time, she and her attorney had three primary goals: to evict Pittman from their shared home, to obtain his financial records, and most critically, to keep their divorce proceedings sealed.
As she approached the courthouse, Drew expressed, “The longer this divorce process drags on, the more contentious it becomes between Ralph and me. There’s always room for mediation, but it seems Ralph is determined to fight. I hope we can make some progress during this court date.”
Drew emphasized that her top priority was keeping the records sealed to protect their children—Josiah, Machai, and Aniya—from witnessing the unpleasant details of their divorce online.
When producers inquired about what was “so damaging” in the records, the Bravolebrity stated, “There’s definitely more evidence against Ralph than against me,” adding that she was particularly concerned about what their children might read about their father.
After the hearing, Ralph was seen laughing with his attorney, while Drew appeared visibly frustrated as she walked down the hallway with her legal team.
“This is absurd, right? It feels like a game,” she said, fuming. “We could have resolved things with his previous attorney, but he wants to fight.”
In a confessional, Drew revealed that the judge had decided to “unseal our divorce case.” Furthermore, Ralph was not required to submit all of his financial documents and was allowed to continue living in the basement of their home.
“I don’t understand why Ralph wanted to unseal the case,” she lamented. “It feels like a nightmare. My kids will see everything online, and that is my biggest fear.”
“Was there ever love? Was there ever friendship? I just feel we were better than this,” she added.
As Drew and her team left the courthouse, Ralph began shouting from the street. After she referred to him as “an idiot” and a “dumbass for that s— in there,” Drew rolled up the window.
Conversing with the cameras, Ralph asserted that he felt he was finally “making progress” in their divorce proceedings.
“There are many misconceptions about me and Drew. I think the biggest one is that I didn’t care about my wife,” he said, explaining that he wanted to unseal the records for the sake of transparency regarding their situation.
“I’ve made mistakes during our marriage, but so has Drew,” he acknowledged. “I believe unsealing the records will create a level playing field.”
As the cameras shifted back to Drew, she was seen crying and wiping away her tears as her team tried to console her.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
