Drew Sidora asked a judge to jail her estranged husband Ralph Pittman for allegedly leaking her private text messages to a media outlet in June 2025, court documents obtained by TMZ show.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star claimed Pittman stole the messages from her phone and shared them with false narratives intended to embarrass her, according to filings from that month. She sought a $1,000 fine for each violation of their mutual restraining order and up to 20 days in jail for Pittman.
Sidora, 40, earns an average of $12,066 per month, whereas Pittman, 43, brings in $71,524 monthly — a nearly sixfold income gap revealed in divorce proceedings, per Page Six. Pittman works in tech; Sidora is an actress known for roles in “That’s So Raven” and “White Chicks.”
The couple married in August 2014 and have two children together: son Machai, 10, and daughter Aniya, 8. Sidora also has an 11-year-old son, Josiah, from a previous relationship. Both filed for divorce in March 2023 after nearly nine years of marriage.
Sidora told the court her career was rising with a new song and upcoming projects when the alleged leak occurred. She said she had been famous since age 8 and that Pittman’s actions were meant to damage her reputation during a vulnerable period.
A judge ordered Sidora to vacate the marital home by the end of next month, with a May 31 deadline specified in later filings. She has asked for reconsideration, warning she and Josiah could become homeless without financial resources to relocate.
Throughout the divorce, Sidora and Pittman have lived in separate sections of the same property — he downstairs, she upstairs — while litigation continues. A judge has not yet ruled on her request to revisit the vacate order.
Sidora temporarily lost custody of her two younger children last week, per Page Six, though she retains joint legal custody. Pittman was awarded primary physical custody after a hearing where the court heard allegations of school tardiness during the children’s stays with Sidora.
Sidora claims the custody shift came without warning, alleging Pittman had agreed to shared physical custody outside court but reversed course once proceedings began. She initially sought primary custody and accused Pittman of cheating in early filings.
Over the weekend, Sidora acknowledged on X that some divorce details had become public, reiterating her commitment to co-parenting and focusing on being the best mother she can be.
What evidence supports Sidora’s claim that Pittman leaked her texts?
Sidora stated in June 2025 court filings that Pittman gave private messages he “stole” from her cell phone to a media outlet before the divorce was filed, and that he also posted them on social media with false narratives meant to portray her negatively.
Why does Sidora say she could become homeless if forced to move?
Sidora told the judge she lacks the financial resources to relocate and has not identified a new place to live, warning that compliance with the May 31 vacate order would leave her and her oldest child homeless.
