ATLANTA, GEORGIA: 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 15 finished with a boom rather than a whimper. Fans were dismayed, however, when Ralph Pittman's long-lost cousin, Courtney Rhodes, opted to out Drew Sidora.
Courtney says in her confessional that she was informed Drew is bisexual, and that after questioning Ralph, she discovered that it was "no secret" that Drew "has fun with girls" as well. She then claims to be aware that Drew pays visits to Ty Young in Texas, and that Ralph has evidence of the relationship that he intends to utilize in the divorce process.
Courtney has an unfiltered hot mic moment after she feels she is no longer being recorded, saying that she has photographs of Ty and Drew on her phone but "wasn't going to say that on camera." She keeps talking freely, implying that Drew pressured Ralph to adopt Josiah, so she could "go be in [her] gay lover relationship and [Ralph] pays the bills." On X, people condemned the action as they write, "Courtney is wicked - the way she was running her mouth shows that she has personal interest in Drew’s downfall. " Another person chimed in, "Courtney is giving alleged side piece. This commentary is very weird and vindictive. Definitely not giving “cousin” because why do you have pictures?" A third person tweeted, "I’m disgusted by the way Ralph and Courtney were talking about rumors. I hate when people use sexuality in a weaponizing way. It’s giving homophobia…."
Some slammed the 'RHOA' friend by writing, "Courtney bringing up JoJo’s adoption was an all new low for her. She doesn’t need to return. I don’t think Drew needs “Tommy” to pay any bills. We still haven’t seen his “work.” Unless gaslighting is a profession." One person also added, "Not trashy cousin Courtney making these adoption comments. What a low down dirty BITCH. ##RHOA That cheater didn’t adopt her oldest son because he was already done with the marriage. Drew owes her an ass whooping." Another person noted, "Courtney is a lowdown guttersnipe - nobody asked you about Drew’s sexuality."
Drew Sidora called her relationship with Ty Young 'platonic'
The show ended with Drew answering questions about Ty, insisting that their connection is platonic, despite the fact that Mimi Faust had just posted a cryptic Instagram status hinting at her ex's supposed relationship with Drew. The post included a photo of Drew and Ty at Ralph's birthday celebration, as well as lyrics from Ice Spice's song "Munch."
Mimi never fully defined the significance of her post, although she did say in an interview, "What is done in the dark will come to light." Drew stated that she suspected Ralph "conjured" the rumor and released it to the press himself after questioning if the cameras were still running. Her final title card says that she and Ralph are still cohabiting and co-parenting their children.
