Drew Sidora addressed her ongoing drama with K. Michelle and revealed a “red flag” in Shamea Morton‘s marriage to Gerald Mwangi on Sunday’s Watch What Happens Live.
While also weighing in on rumors linking Shamea, 44, to an NBA player, offering an update on her divorce from Ralph Pittman Jr., 43, and commenting on her professional relationship with Dennis McKinley, 44, the 41-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star accused K. Michelle, 44, of being “performative” as she looked back on the moment in which the series newbie stormed off from a charity event where Drew had been tapped to sing the National Anthem, playing the National Anthem.
“Performative. Dramatic,” Drew said on the June 7 episode of WWHL. “I feel like it was for a moment.”
According to Drew, she doesn’t understand what K. Michelle’s issue with her is or where it came from.
“I don’t even think she knows, to be honest. I asked her, and she didn’t tell me what the issue is. It’s like this scheme. It’s like this hidden deep down somewhere. We’re all trying to figure it out. I think I’m confused just like everybody else,” Drew explained.
Although some have suspected that Drew is jealous of her fellow musician’s success, she denied any such thing.
“I’ve had box office movies. I hope to achieve what she has, and I was hoping to connect with her on music. I’m not making money on music. It’s what I do for my heart. So it’s unfortunate we’re in this space, but I don’t care. She’s doing her thing in music. I’m doing my thing in movies. Let’s collab. That’s how I feel,” she insisted.
That said, when asked who she’d prefer to collaborate with out of K. Michelle, Shamea, and Kim Zolciak, 48, Drew paused for a while before naming Kandi Burruss, 50.
“Can Kandi be a choice? I choose Kandi,” she stated.
Then, when Andy Cohen, 58, suggested that music healed things between her and Shamea, describing a past moment as “beautiful,” Drew asked, “Was it?”
“I think she did something to my mic, but we’ll leave that alone,” she added.
Moving on to Shamea’s marriage, Drew agreed that it was a red flag that Gerald didn’t want Shamea kissing any male actors in scenes.
“Yes, because it’s not real,” she replied.
As for rumors about Shamea sleeping with an NBA player, Drew said she didn’t like the report.
“She’s a wife. She has kids. So I don’t condone that or indulge in that. If you know something, bring a receipt,” she advised.
Regarding her own marriage, Drew confirmed that she and Ralph are still in the process of getting divorced.
“Everything is just moving towards a more positive place. Well, I’m staying positive and peaceful. We’re still going through the process of it all, but I think there has been a turn where I’m not here to bash anybody. We’re not going to speak negatively because we have to be the best for our kids,” she revealed.
When Andy mentioned that she was working with Dennis again, and asked if she’d spoken to Porsha Williams, 44, beforehand, Drew confirmed she’d gotten Porsha’s blessing.
“Porsha and I are on the mend. We’re better than ever … She is, like, ready for the tour. She’s here for PJ’s snacks. She’s like, ‘Get to work,’” she noted. “I always check in with her, make sure she’s comfortable [and] knows that it’s just business.”
After being asked if she regretted calling Kelli Ferrell, 41, “misproportioned,” Drew didn’t mince words.
“Not at all,” she declared. “When I see her, that was the first thing that came to mind. Actually, she’s like a stuffed Cornish hen ready for basting, just makes me like, ‘Is it Christmastime?’ Just yummy. If you look at her and you put it side by side, that’s what it’s giving. Little meat portions.”
Also on the show, Drew addressed her audition drama with Pinky Cole, 38, suggesting that Pinky didn’t act professionally.
“There’s a process. Let’s be honest. I’ve been doing this since I was eight years old. I have an agent. I have a manager. You have to send the dates when you shoot. You have to send the character breakdown. A script, so I can read it and get familiar. And I know she’s stepping into this, and I’m showing up for her as a friend, but it’s like, still, respect this is how I pay my bills. This is how I take care of my kids, so don’t try to treat it like it’s a hobby. There’s protocol,” she explained. “She’s new to film so I’m like, ’This is what you’ve got to do.’”
