Drew Sidora Alleged Texts to Ex Ralph Revealed … Claims She Paid Him Half of ‘RHOA’ Checks
Published
Drew Sidora claims she paid her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, half of her ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ checks during their marriage … TMZ has learned.
TMZ obtained alleged texts between Drew and Ralph that were submitted as evidence in their ongoing divorce battle.
As TMZ first reported, the judge presiding over the case ordered Drew to vacate the home by next month. Drew claims she will be homeless and does not have the funds to find another home at this time. She is begging the court to reconsider.
As part of her plea, Drew included texts that she believes help make her case. One alleged text, dated April 13, 2026, Drew wrote to her ex, “I most definitely cannot afford 9K of household expenses at this time.”
“Are you going to pay for half of the groceries as well as half of the kids’ expenses for the month?” she asked. Ralph added, “Good morning. I … believe this is very generous as you haven’t contributed anything towards the home for a number of years.”
“Your attorney should be advising you but if you don’t pay, you will be in contempt,” Ralph warned.
“Ralph, how can you say I haven’t given you money toward the house in years? I’ve given you 50% of my money for Real Housewives and all along you were getting paid directly from bravo as well! I gave you 50% of my endorsement deals … and my movies. Let’s talk about how you took $300,000 out of my money I received personally on my personal injury settlement.”
She asked Ralph why the mortgage had not been paid on their Georgia home, claiming they were behind $25K in payments. Ralph responded, “You’re making stuff up again so I won’t entertain.”
On April 14, Drew wrote, “You have done the ultimate betrayal and tried to destroy me as their mom, defame my character, career, brand and me as a human being time and time again, so please just focus on what’s best for the kids moving forward.”
In response, Ralph scoffed at Drew’s claim she would be homeless if forced to leave their home. He said, “You can no longer hide and don’t want people to see you for who u really are. All the lies you told are being cleared without me doing anything. You’re a terrible person, and I pray you work on your spirit.”
“Don’t try and act like u want to be a mom now. It’s too late,” Ralph added. He added, “You’re too delusional to even understand what’s happening. Try praying for yourself.”
Drew said, “You got banished from church for trying to date the politician’s daughter you loser. My mom and I tried to save you, but only God can save you now. I pray you repent.”
“Awwww I tried to date the politician’s daughter and u and ur mom tried to save me,” Ralph said with a laughing emoji. He said, “I know I’m a loser and guess what, you are too” with clown emojis.
“Watch when you get your attorney bill. Ur really gonna feel like a loser,” he said with another clown emoji.

THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $20,000 on purchases in the first three months of card membership.
Why we love it: Carly Helfand, TPG’s director of points, miles and credit card content, loves the statement credits on her Amex Business Platinum, especially since they led to her enjoying up to $600 in hotel credits** last year. She said she’s already used the benefit twice — once last December for a stay at Wynn Las Vegas and once in February for a stay at the Andaz Prague.
Carly also loves the card’s Hilton statement credit of up to $50 per quarter on eligible purchases made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio***. She said she finds these credits super easy to maximize and recently used one to cover poolside dining charges at the Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia, Curio Collection by Hilton in Portugal.

In the world of cobranded hotel cards, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant provides solid top-tier perks for those loyal to the brand.
THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership. This offer ends May 13.
Why we love it: Senior editor Christine Gallipeau initially added the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant to her wallet to receive the card’s automatic Platinum Elite status, which she knew she’d take full advantage of while traveling, as well as during staycations in the Washington, D.C., area with her hotel-loving pup. However, it now stays in her wallet for several other reasons.
In addition to enjoying late checkout and free breakfast at select Marriott properties, Christine also maximizes the card’s dining statement credits (up to $25 each month for eligible dining purchases worldwide). She also loves applying her annual free night award (worth up to 85,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees) toward a staycation each year at one of her favorite local hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C., where rates are often close to or over $1,000 a night.
