RHOA star Drew Sidora accuses ex Ralph Pittman of abusing their son amid bitter divorce battle

by

Drew Sidora, a star on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has filed legal documents claiming her soon-to-be ex-husband, Ralph Pittman, abused their 10-year-old son, Machai. These claims are part of their ongoing and contentious three-year divorce.

A judge ruled on April 10th that the 40-year-old reality star must move out of her Georgia home, known as ‘Pittman Palace,’ by May 31st. This decision came after her son and eight-year-old daughter, Aniya, had been frequently absent from school while in her care.

Sidora shared video footage that she says shows the 43-year-old tech entrepreneur harshly disciplining their son. She claims he confessed to the abuse in 2024, but denied it during a court appearance in March, according to TMZ.

I just… I can’t wrap my head around it. She’s saying he has a history of physically abusing their son, like, documented proof, and yet he gets primary custody during the school year?! It makes absolutely no sense to me! How can the courts just ignore something like that? I’m seriously worried about those kids, knowing what she’s claiming. It’s just… baffling and terrifying.

Sidora also noted that the coveted house is ‘$25,000 behind on mortgage payments.’

The reality TV personality and the tech executive will share custody of their children, Machai and Aniya. She will have them every other weekend, starting in August.

Sidora is worried she’ll be forced to leave Pittman Palace because she can’t afford another place to live. She fears she and her son, Josiah, 15, will become homeless if the judge doesn’t change their ruling.

I’m so excited for our girl! She’s been working hard, rehearsing for two shows – one in Charleston, South Carolina on May 29th and another in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 30th. It’s amazing she’s doing this right before she has to move out, but she’s a pro and I know she’ll kill it on stage!

After almost ten years of marriage, Sidora and Pittman both filed for divorce on February 27, 2023 – remarkably, just 61 minutes apart. The couple first met in 2013.

On Wednesday, the actress announced on Instagram that she had fired a member of her social media team. She explained that the staffer had posted unauthorized and offensive comments attacking an unnamed woman, and that this behavior didn’t align with her personal values.

Sidora, who has a million followers on social media, stated that she takes full responsibility for the content shared on her page.

It’s easy for things to be misinterpreted online, and that’s especially true right now given what I’m going through.

Going through my divorce is a big change, and I want to be clear about something: I have no interest in attacking or speaking negatively about another woman. That’s just not my character, and I’m focusing on moving forward with positive energy.

Raven-Symoné, known for her role in “That’s So Raven,” is now a cast member on season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which you can watch on Bravo every Sunday.
