RHOA’s Ralph Claims Drew Wanted Him to Adopt Son for “Money”

Drew Sidora called out her husband Ralph Pittman for “refus[ing]” to shut down his “fake” cousin Courtney Rhodes’ “disgusting comments” on Real Housewives of Atlanta, as Ralph clapped back – calling her “adoption request” a “money grab” and accusing her of “playing” the “victim.”

The couple, who is now in the midst of a contentious divorce, has each made alarming allegations, including Drew’s reported claim that Ralph was once violent. On the latest season of the show, Courtney insinuated that Drew wanted Ralph to adopt her oldest child so she could spend time with women.

In a recent tweet, Drew slammed her ex for not shutting down his “fake” cousin’s “disgusting comments.”

“I must always protect and stand for my children against this type of evil. I gave him the opportunity to shut his unverifiable fake cousin down for her disgusting comments made concerning my son, however he refused to do so & it breaks my heart,” she wrote.

The star added in another post, “She meant to be nasty & rude making comments and dragging my child into this… KIDS ARE ALWAYS OFF LIMITS!!! That’s it, that’s all….we’re done!”

Responding to the first tweet, Ralph wrote, “It’s time to speak truth so let’s be real. You expect me to pay child support when he has a father that wants to play an active role in his life but you won’t let him. Your adoption request was only a money grab and control. Since the age of 3, I stepped up to fill the gap as a man and unconditionally provided from my heart without expectations.”

He continued, “I will continue being there but you’re not going to take advantage of me or use this show to get your way. I understand playing the battered victim role earns you sympathy on this platform but you will respect me as a Father. I love all my kids and have given them the world, including you. It’s about them now. #Respect.”

Around the same time, Drew issued a public apology to Kenya Moore for insulting her acting career in an earlier episode.

“@KenyaMoore I know we talked about this already privately, but I just want to publicly apologize. Any comments made about your career wasn’t necessary. You are a Superstar! Legend! Icon! Let’s not forget forever the moment,” she tweeted.

Kenya then responded, “Thank you @DREWSIDORA I appreciate this. Keep shining! Let nothing nor anyone stop you ❤️.”

Thank you @DREWSIDORA I appreciate this. Keep shining! Let nothing nor anyone stop you ❤️ #RHOAReunion #RHOA
