‘RHOA’ Star Drew Sidora Accuses Ex Ralph Pittman of Beating Their Child, Says …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Bravo viewers have seen ugly The Real Housewives of Atlanta divorces before.

But this one is downright chilling.

Drew Sidora has already been fighting the order for her to vacate the marital home, citing that she does not have the money to move.

She has also asked the court to review what she says is video evidence of her estranged husband abusing their child. Awful stuff.

Obvious content warning for descriptions of alleged child-abuse

TMZ obtained divorce court documents that reveal Sidora’s abuse allegation against estranged husband Ralph Pittman.

In the filing, Sidora asks the judge to reconsider a previous order that she vacate the former couple’s Georgia home.

At present, she is required to leave the residence by the end of May.

As Sidora has previously expressed, she does not currently have the funds to move — or she’d likely be out already.

She has asked the court to reverse the decision, otherwise she fears that she will become homeless.

During a previous hearing, Pittman blamed Sidora for one of their children being excessively tardy to school.

Apparently, this was enough for the judge to award primary custody of their two children to Pittman — at least for now.

But Sidora accuses Pittman of being monstrously abusive.

In her filing, she reminds the court that she previously submitted evidence in the form of “a video in which [Pittman] can be heard severely beating the parties’ son.”

According to Sidora, Pittman admitted to the abuse in 2024 — but then denied it during a March 2026 hearing.

It’s unclear why the court previously ruled in Pittman’s favor

Sidora’s filing expresses confusion over why the court awarded primary custody to Pittman.

She wrote that he has a “documented history of physically abusing the parties’ son.”

Pittman has yet to publicly respond to the filing, which has now become public knowledge.

Meanwhile, the court has not yet ruled on Sidora’s filing.

We should add that Sidora’s documents allege that Pittman has admitted that the house’s mortgage is $25,000 behind.

Presumably, the court will review evidence of the vile abuse that Sidora describes within the filing.

One would hope that, if it matches her description, the custody arrangement would be corrected immediately.

That said, as we have noted before, the United States legal system does not really prioritize children’s safety or humanity, especially not in the face of “parents’ rights.”

It is our hope that this recording does not become public. Some victims personally share videos to expose their abusers, but circulating something like that against a victim’s will would re-victimize them rather than rescue them.

Our hearts go out to the children. Our society and our legal system have already failed them.

Prince Harry Urged to Divorce Meghan Markle & Marry ‘Traditional’ (White) …

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Recenty, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Australia put smiles on the faces of everyone they encountered.

This has put hardcore royalists, who cling to the ailing monarchy and despise the Sussexes for escaping it, into a panic.

A series of weird hit pieces have come out. One in particular calls for Harry to divorce his wife and come crawling back and marry and “English Rose.”

Please do not play a drinking game every time that you encounter a racist dogwhistle. You’d surely perish.

There are people who believe that the UK must ‘save’ Harry from his happily ever after

It really feels like hardcore supporters of the royal family — and perhaps the royal firm itself — are crashing out over Harry and Meghan’s popularity.

It’s not that everyone likes them. Some people have no opinion on them whatsoever.

But it seems like the two are very well-liked in every part of the English-speaking world except for one little island. It just happens to be the island on which Harry was born.

Amidst the Sussex pair’s trip Down Under, hit pieces have included weird fanfiction about Queen Elizabeth, weird insinuations that Meghan is greedy or a flake (or both?), and whining about the couple’s daughter’s name.

Another new, deeply weird article wants to “save” Harry from … happiness? Freedom? From the love of his life?

The Spectator‘s William Atkinson, who does not even have the most British name that we’ll mention, argues that “Britain must welcome its wayward prince home.”

In an article that claims to have been initially supportive of Harry and Meghan’s wedding at the time, it doesn’t take long before deeply weird, racist dogwhistles emerge.

“The presence of Oprah Winfrey and an over-enthusiastic American preacher had been a little gauche,” the writer seemingly cannot help but announce.

In the article, Harry’s time serving in the military in Afghanistan was not a praiseworthy act of public service, but something to give a “troubled” prince structure.

The writer also contrasts Harry with another royal from the literal actual 1300s, lamenting that Harry “did not have the delights of conquering the French.” Someone sounding nostalgic for The Hundred Years’ War carries a certain kind of vibe that is unsurprising in such an article.

This is where things get even worse

The article says that, after his military service, “rather than settle down with a Chelsy Davy or a Cressida Bonas, Harry found himself adrift.”

Those are not exaggerated hypothetical British person names, but the names of actual women. Would it surprise you to hear that both of the women in question are white?

Would it surprise you to learn that the author goes on to describe anyone calling out racism as “grievance-mongering,” even if they themselves are on the receiving end of the racism?

One cannot help but get the impression that the issue with Meghan is that she does not sunburn as easily as the “new Sloane or English Rose” that the author urges him to marry.

The other issue, of course, is that she seems to care about Harry’s mental health. The author doesn’t seem to love that Harry himself cares about it, either.

During the article, there is whining that Harry is “still trotting out tired cliches about his mental health.”

The author then spirals, spewing out meaningless claims like: “Harry was a victim of peak woke.”

Bizarrely, the article accuses: “His wife embodies all its worst excesses: the stultifying focus on mental health, a nihilistic desire to tear down institutions, perpetual grievance-mongering around sex and race.”

It’s true that, if someone believes that acknowledging systemic inequality and wanting them to change is bad — the definition of woke — then they probably do not like Meghan.

Yes, she cares about these things. But the tone and diction of the article feel like a big priority would be for Harry’s hypothetical “English Rose” to be lily white. Yikes!

We don’t even point this out to call out this particular writer. Mostly.

As we said, it’s only one of several panicked hitpieces that have emerged in recent weeks as the royals watch Harry and Meghan’s effortless charisma in places where their own visits fell flat.

‘Summer House’ Reunion Leak of Ciara Miller vs Amanda Batula CONDEMNED by …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We already knew how Ciara Miller feels about Amanda Batula.

The former besties were so cozy during Season 10. But she found out that their close friendship was a lie.

A stunning Summer House reunion leak shared the confrontation — well ahead of when it will air on Bravo.

Andy Cohen is furious. And he’s right to be.

‘It’s disgusting and illegal’

“Good morning,” Andy Cohen wrote on Threads — Meta’s attempt to replace Twitter — on Friday, April 24.

“Andy stay offline please,” a reply urged him. “You won’t like the news.”

While every day’s news brings some new screaming horror, this warning from a fan was more specific.

Dramatic leaked audio from the Bravo series’ reunion special features Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula’s epic confrontation.

This is supposed to be a highlight of the Season 10 reunion, which of course has not yet aired. This is a demoralizing leak, and Andy’s not happy.

“I don’t,” Andy told the fan who warned him that he wouldn’t like the news. “On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it.”

He lamented: “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday.”

Andy continued: “And it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this.”

He added: “It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday.”

To fans, Andy encouraged: “Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”

‘You’re a snake’

In the leaked audio, Miller excoriates Batula over the latter’s relationship with West Wilson.

Why? Because Wilson is Miller’s ex. And, of course, because Batula kept it a secret until hours before she and Wilson confirmed their relationship publicly.

And we think that Miller does a pretty good job of explaining her ire.

“There are a million other f–king guys in New York City and … you chose the one guy,” Miller pointed out.

She then called her former bestie a “f–king snake.”

“You’re a snake in the f–king grass … and you know you are,” Miller continued. “You move silent, but you’re f–king deadly.”

We don’t think that she meant to stray so close to flatulence humor.

Batula protested that “there were so many layers and complications to it.” She also argued: “You can’t help who you like and are attracted to.”

Reportedly, most of the cast seemed downright subdued upon arrival for the reunion taping on Thursday.

What a mess. We’re sorry about the leak, and we’re looking forward to watching the drama play out in the actual episode.

Kash Patel: Muliple Alcohol-Related Arrests Revealed In Legal Docs

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Earlier this week, we reported on the news that FBI Director Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic, alleging that the magazine defamed him with a recent article about his alcohol intake and job performance.

In the wake of the article, Democrats in Congress have called on Patel to answer questions about his drinking under penalty of perjury.

Patel has repeatedly denied that his drinking is an issue, but he may have trouble making his case in the wake of today’s news that he has twice been arrested for alcohol-related violations.

According to The Intercept, when Patel began working for the Miami-Dade County Public Defender’s Office in 2005, he wrote a letter elaborating on disclosures from his Florida Bar application relating to the two arrests.

He explained that the first incident occurred in February of 2001, when he was a junior at the University of Richmond.

He was under 21 years of age at the time and claimde that he had only had two drinks before getting ejected from the crowd at a Richmond basketball game for “excessive” cheering.

He paid a fine as a result of that run-in with the law.

The second incident occurred in 2005, when Kash was a law student at Pace University in New York City.

A post shared by The Intercept (@theintercept)

He says he was walking home with friends after a night out, when, “in a gross deviation from appropriate conduct, we attempted to relieve our bladders while walking home.”

In that case too, Patel got off with a fine.

“Both of these incidents are not representative of my usual conduct of behavior,” he wrote in the letter, adding:

“And it is my hope that the Board views them as an anomaly. I dually apologize for my improper behavior both to the Board and the community at large.”⁠

“Kash’s entire background was thoroughly examined and vetted prior to him assuming this role,” Erica Knight, a spokesperson for Patel, said this week in response to The Atlantic article.

“These attacks are nothing more than an attempt to undermine a process that has already deemed him suitable to serve and a distraction to the record-breaking success of the FBI under Director Patel.”⁠

“Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff,” Atlantic staff writer Sarah Fitzpatrick wrote at one point in the controversial article.

“He is also known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room, in Las Vegas, where he frequently spends parts of his weekends,” she continued, adding:

“Early in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights, six current and former officials and others familiar with Patel’s schedule told me.”

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Bobbi Althoff Cast in ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Orange County Spinoff

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Despite (or because of) the many scandals, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is a success.

Hulu’s looking to reheat their nachos with a spinoff, filming in Orange County.

Some of the women from the new show’s cast are already famous, even if they’re not household names.

And a couple of these women are arguably infamous.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County’ is coming later this year

On Wednesday, April 22, Hulu confirmed that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will premiere later in 2026.

According to the press release, these are women whose “beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity.”

The release teased: “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”

Hulu continued: “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield.”

The teaser added: “As this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”

Additionally, we learned the cast of this new reality series.

As the title (and the show that inspired it) might suggest, these are a lot of very creative names with equally inventive spellings.

The cast will include Bobbi Althoff, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease, and Madison Fisher (formerly Bontempo).

Fisher, Pease, Higginson, Andrea, and Woods are all TikTokers and influencers.

Meanwhile, some of them are a little better known — and, at times, a little infamous.

A post shared by Aspyn Ovard (@aspynovard)

Which of these women is already ‘famous’ in certain circles?

McCall DaPron, for example, is the sister of Mayci Neeley, who is a The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives OG.

On Wednesday, she coyly confessed to her Instagram followers that she has been “keeping a secret.”

In 2024, Aspyn Ovard gained a lot of attention when she filed to divorce her then-husband, Parker Ferris.

Why was that such a big deal? Because she filed on the same day that she announced the birth of their third child. Oof!

“15 years with you all and now we are going to be on hulu 2026!!!!!!!!!!” she cheered on Instagram.

Most controversial of all — at least, for now — is Bobbi Althoff.

Though she first gained some degree of attention on TikTok for pregnancy posting several years ago, it was in 2023 — when she launched her Really Good Podcast (that’s the name, not our appraisal) — that she went viral.

Some have accused Althoff of being some sort of industry plant. It’s not really clear what the 28-year-old podcast host brings to her interviews.

Others have accused her of lacking personality due to her flat deliveries. Which, again, reinforces the confusion over her casting.

When Hulu gives us a SLOMW: OC trailer, maybe we’ll know what the show will offer. For now, it’s clear that they’re hoping to expand upon the original series’ success.

Jake Reiner Breaks Silence on Rob & Michele Reiner Murders, ‘Unendurable’ …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been over four months since Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death inside their home.

But for Jake Reiner, the grief is nearly as profound as it was the day he learned that his parents had been murdered

Nick Reiner has been arrested for his parents’ murders and is currently awaiting trial. Now, Nick’s older brother, Jake, is breaking his silence on the situation for the first time.

In an essay posted to his Substack page, Jake wrote candidly about the experience of learning that he had lost both his parents in horrific fashion.

“I was in Union Station at a celebration of life for one of my best friends, Christian Anderson, who died in October,” the 34-year-old wrote, adding:

“It was at that moment I received a call from my sister Romy telling me our father was dead. Minutes later, she called back telling me our mother was also dead.”

“The 45-minute Lyft ride from downtown to the west side was unendurable. My world, as I knew it, had collapsed. I was in a trance. The only thing I could focus on was that I needed to get to my childhood home. I needed to get to my sister. I needed to figure out what the hell just happened.”

A screenshot from Jake Reiner’s recent Instagram post. (Instagram)

At one point in the essay Jake wrote that “this is my story,” promising that his sister, Romy Reiner, “will tell hers in her own way and in her time.”

Jake added that he feels “robbed of so many things” over losing his parents, noting that the tragedy “simultaneously breaks my heart and enrages me.”

“Nothing can prepare you for what it feels like to lose both parents instantly at the same time,” Jake continued.

“It’s too devastating to comprehend. I still wake up every morning having to convince myself that, no, it’s not a dream. This truly is my living nightmare.”

He added that he still finds himself dwelling on “how frightened” his parents must have been in their final moments and added that they “were the last people in the world to deserve what happened to them.”

“They should be enjoying the rest of their lives peacefully while growing older together,” he wrote.

“Instead, that was ripped away from them, from me, from Romy, and there was nothing we could do about it.”

Jake called his parents’ murders “horrific” and said that every day since then “has been horrendous.”

He eventually referenced Nick by saying that his brother is “at the center” of the tragedy.

“We lost more than half of our family that night in the most violent way imaginable,” Jake wrote. “It’s almost too impossible to process.”

Jake said he’s aware that “people have questions” about Rob and Michele’s deaths, and he promised that “some of those answers will come in time.”

“But some parts of this belong only to our family. And keeping them private is the only way to protect what little remains of something that was taken from us,” he wrote.

Drew Sidora Claims Ex-Husband Took Half of Her ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As we previously reported, the Drew Sidora-Ralph Pittman divorce is getting messier by the day.

Earlier this week, Sidora accused Pittman of beating their child.

Now, she’s alleging that he hustled her out of half her cash even after she helped him land a lucrative job with Bravo.

In (alleged) texts between Drew and Ralph that were submitted as evidence, Sidora levels some shocking accusations at Pittman over their financial situation.

The judge in their case has ordered Drew to vacate the exes’ marital home by the end of May.

She claims she can’t afford to relocate, and will wind up homeless if she’s forced to move out.

“I most definitely cannot afford 9K of household expenses at this time,” she asked her ex on April 13 (per TMZ), adding:

“Are you going to pay for half of the groceries as well as half of the kids’ expenses for the month?” Ralph asked.

“Good morning. I … believe this is very generous as you haven’t contributed anything towards the home for a number of years,” Ralph clapped back, adding:

“Your attorney should be advising you but if you don’t pay, you will be in contempt.”

“Ralph, how can you say I haven’t given you money toward the house in years? I’ve given you 50% of my money for Real Housewives and all along you were getting paid directly from bravo as well!” Sidora replied.

“I gave you 50% of my endorsement deals … and my movies. Let’s talk about how you took $300,000 out of my money I received personally on my personal injury settlement.”

Drew went on to accuse Ralph of failing to keep up with the mortgage payments on the house they bought together.

“You’re making stuff up again so I won’t entertain,” Pittman replied.

Clearly, this situation is getting messy.

For now, these two are at least being civil with one another in their text exchanges.

But with all the allegations that have been flying back and forth, that probably won’t be the case for much longer.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
