Drew Sidora’s Lesbian Affair Caused Her Divorce, Ralph Denies Cheating and Abuse … This Is MESSY!!
Drew Sidora’s estranged husband is not taking the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s star’s infidelity claim sitting down.
Ralph Pittman fired back in court after Drew Sidora accused him of being unfaithful, per court documents.
Drew and Ralph both filed divorce petitions last week, with the reality star noting in her initial filing that the duo had been separated since February, “due to [Ralph’s] repeated uncondoned adultery.”
In an amended complaint filed earlier this month in Gwinnett County Superior Court, Drew claimed that she could no longer endure Ralph’s ongoing disrespect and mental abuse.
She also alleged that he had allowed “his multiple paramours to have direct contact,” in order to flaunt the relationships in her face.
The Bravo star’s lawyer said that her client—“simply cannot take [Ralph’s] continued blatant disrespect and mental abuse any longer.”
The attorney added — “[Ralph] has participated in extra-marital sexual relations with persons other than [Drew]. [Ralph] is a serial cheater and adulterer.”
The divorce petition read — “Such cruel treatment has actually persisted for the past couple of years of the parties’ marriage but has accelerated and gotten progressively worse during the month of February 2023.”
Drew revealed that she had seriously considered filing for a restraining order, after Ralph allegedly became “physically aggressive” during a purported incident that occurred on February 20, 2023. Her lawyer described the alleged episode in the court filing.
The document read — “[Ralph] grabbed her cell phone out of her hand on or about February 20, 2023, causing [Drew] to fall to the floor. [Ralph] literally peeled the phone out of [Drew’s] hand aggressively. When [Drew] begged for [Ralph] to give [Drew] her cell phone back, he screamed at [Drew] stating that he pays the cell phone bill; so, the phone belongs to him. [Drew] called 911, but no police ever showed up.”
Drew, 37, claimed in the documents that Ralph’s alleged behavior led her to be “reasonably justified apprehensive for her emotional health and for the mental and emotional health” of their children – Aniya, 5, Machai, 7, and Drew’s son from a previous relationship, 11-year-old Josiah.
Drew also alleged that Ralph had been “financially abusive” during their marriage, claiming that he withdrew a significant sum of money from her business account over several days, in mid February.
The mom of three claimed in the complaint that Ralph had exerted control over her business affairs, and had taken control of all of her “business and personal finances.”
Ralph has now denied cheating on his wife, telling the court that “he hopes to resolve” the breakup in an “amicable fashion and work to preserve the sanctity of the parties’ private lives.”
Ralph also shot down the allegation that he had become physically aggressive toward Drew, and filed a counter divorce claim. He called the marriage “irretrievably broken” and requested joint custody of the couple’s minor children. He stated that there was no chance for a reconciliation.
Ralph, 40, previously asked the court to boot Drew from their shared Georgia mansion, in his original divorce petition. A judge has yet to rule on his request.
In a recent interview with Media Take Out, a close associate of the couple suggested that Ralph might have been envious of Drew’s intimate friendship with Ty Young, a renowned female basketball player from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, which could have contributed to their breakup.
Ty, who was previously engaged to another Love & Hip Hop star, Mimi Faust, had formed a strong bond with Drew in the past few months. According to the insider, they had witnessed an interaction between Ty and Drew, during which Ralph appeared to be uncomfortable.
The insider told Media Take Out, “Drew was showing a lot of attention to Ty, and she basically ignored her husband [Ralph]. And you can see on Ralph’s face that he was upset.”
The insider added, “It’s not like Drew was [getting close] with a pretty woman, maybe Ralph could have accepted that.”
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Mimi Faust confirmed that her ex-fiancé, Ty Young, is currently in a lesbian relationship with Drew. Mimi shared a picture of Drew and Ty on her Instagram page, along with the lyrics from a rap song by aspiring rapper Ice Spice.
According to Sandra Rose, Mimi is struggling to come to terms with Drew and Ty’s relationship, and it has affected her. The sources suggest that Mimi should have been aware of the risks of introducing one’s partner to their close friends.
