Divorce is nearly always fraught with emotion, especially when there are children involved. But when Real Housewives of Atlanta star Drew Sidora accused her estranged husband Ralph Pittman of child abuse, things got exponentially worse.
As previously reported, Drew recently lost primary custody of their two children to Ralph. Allegedly, there was a complaint that the children were missing too much school under their mother’s care. At that time, Drew was ordered to leave their home and the court named Ralph as the primary caregiver.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s divorce is a contentious affair
According to TMZ, Drew petitioned the judge to reconsider the order for her to move by May 31. The actress/singer claimed that she didn’t have the funds to move and would be homeless. Previously filed court documents show that Drew earns over $12k a month from her acting gigs, music career and her role on RHOA.
Additionally, she submitted “a video in which [Ralph] could be heard severely beating the parties’ son.” Drew claimed that Ralph admitted the beating, but later denied it in court.
Furthermore, the RHOA star reported that Ralph admitted to being $25k behind on the mortgage payments. Prior to the court order for her to leave the home, Ralph had been relegated to the basement, though he was occasionally allowed to come upstairs and visit.
Meanwhile, Drew questioned why the court would rule in Ralph’s favor when he has a “documented history of physically abusing the parties’ son.”
TMZ reached out to Ralph’s rep, who had no comment on the situation. The court has yet to rule on her request.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
