“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Drew Sidora has suffered a devastating blow from her divorce from ex Ralph Pittman.
A judge ordered the reality star to vacate her and Pittman’s marital home. She also temporarily lost primary custody of the couple’s common children, son Machai, born in June 2015, and daughter Anya, welcomed in February 2018, according to an amended interim order obtained by TMZ.
The actress also has an 11-year-old son, Josiah, from a previous relationship.
Sidra officially has until May 31st to move out, but due to the “current financial circumstances of the parties,” she and Pittman will continue to split the cost of the home until Sidra moves out.
The parents will continue to share legal custody of the two children. But Pittman, who lived in the property’s basement throughout the tumultuous divorce, was given primary physical custody of the children during the school year.
Sidra plans to see her children on a biweekly schedule starting in August. A judge reportedly ruled on Mr. Sidra and Mr. Pittman’s child custody arrangement after allegations were made that the children missed excessive school while in Mr. Sidra’s custody.
Pittman is now allowed to move freely around the house to get her children ready for school in the morning.
In response to the ruling, Sidra’s attorney told the media in a statement: “This matter is still actively litigated and is pending a final hearing. The second interim order is temporary in nature and does not reflect the final outcome of the litigation.”
Pittman declined to comment to the media.
Page Six reached out to both Mr. Sidra and Mr. Pittman, but did not immediately receive a response.
Sidra filed for divorce in March 2023 after about nine years of marriage. Both exes claimed in separate filings, received just minutes later, that their marriage had “irretrievably broken down.”
A few months later, the Bravolebrity confessed that she knew her marriage was over when her relationship problems “started appearing on camera.”
At the time, she told People that the breakup was the result of “a series of things that shouldn’t have happened in a marriage.”
“I think not being able to own my emotions, not being able to apologize, not being able to move past them, not being able to care about my emotional state, and wanting to work on it and heal it, was very challenging,” Sidra explained.
The “Step Up” star finally reached her “boiling point” when their issues were later shared with viewers thanks to the Bravo reality series, which left her “embarrassed on top of what we were dealing with behind closed doors.”
