Kandi Burruss and Andy Cohen React to Kenya Moore’s “Tense” Conversation with Ralph Pittman
The RHOA cast member also weighed in on Drew Sidora and Shereé Whitfield’s recent Twitter drama.
We’ve been following Drew Sidora and husband Ralph Pittman’s journey to sort out their marital issues this season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And on the May 22 episode, Kenya Moore had something to say to the RHOA husband.
When the subject of Ralph's assistant came up during the first dinner of the group’s New York trip, he remarked to Drew that they should just agree to disagree. “Why are we even recounting this anymore?” Ralph asked Drew. “Something occurs to you one way, occurs to me a different way, and it’s fine.”
After pointing out the similarities between Ralph and her ex-husband, Marc Daly, Kenya called out Drew’s husband for the way he was speaking to his wife. “If my husband said that to me, I would flip this table over because that is so disrespectful. You just said, basically, she’s lying. How it happened is not how it happened,” she said. “That would piss me the f--k off if somebody said that to me to my face, especially if I’m hurting. Do you not understand that? You’re tearing her down.”
Drew appreciated Kenya’s speaking up on her behalf. “Kenya’s actually communicating exactly how I feel,” she shared in an interview during the episode. “I hope Ralph really hears he could be doing some of the same things she experienced with Marc, and you see where they ended up.”
Kenya tweeted after the episode aired, “I really hate this for [Drew] just breaks my heart. Sending you a big hug and prayers for your beautiful family.”
Andy Cohen said he also enjoyed seeing Kenya show her support for Drew on the May 22 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, which featured Kandi Burruss as a guest. “She was really, you know, kind of really trying to help Drew out, which I liked seeing,” Andy said.
Kandi agreed, sharing her reaction to Kenya and Ralph’s conversation on WWHL. “I loved the fact that she was trying to look out for Drew,” Kandi said. “But she did put the pressure on Ralph. It was a little tense.”
Speaking of this season’s drama, Kandi was hoping to get some answers of her own about the tea that was spilled about her during Kenya's tea party for daughter Brooklyn's third birthday in the May 15 episode of RHOA. She told Andy she didn’t know who wrote that bit of gossip about her and was “still trying to figure it out.”
“I thought y’all were gonna play it in the episode,” Kandi said. “You know, how sometimes things are revealed in the episode?”
Andy, who is an executive producer of The Real Housewives, assured Kandi he would be getting to the bottom of this. “We’re gonna find out at the reunion, I’ll tell you that much,” he said, to which Kandi replied, “Well, please. I would love to know.”
After that piping-hot tea about Kandi was spilled at Brooklyn’s birthday party, the beef that had been brewing between Drew and Shereé Whitfield really came to a head and has recently seeped over onto social media. “OK, well, let me just say they’ve been going in on Twitter, OK? Twitter has been on fire with Drew and Shereé,” Kandi said on WWHL (clip below). “I’m trying to stay out of that ’cause the shade has been lethal, OK?”
However, Kandi did weigh in on their RHOA drama surrounding their mutual assistant and noted how it seemed both Drew and Shereé were misdirecting their grievances. “Love them both, but I just kind of felt like, at the birthday party, I just kind of felt like Drew got really upset, which I get it. That’s her husband. She’s supposed to take up for him. But it was based off of what the guy said,” Kandi explained. “So y’all both are arguing about what this guy has said, so why are we going crazy on each other? Let’s go crazy on the guy.”
