In the latest twist of what has become one of the messiest divorces in Real Housewives of Atlanta history, court documents have revealed a stark income disparity between Drew Sidora and her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman.
The filings, first highlighted in a widely shared social media post, show Sidora earning an average of $12,066 per month in gross income — while Pittman pulls in $71,524 monthly from his technology career.

The revelation comes at a critical juncture in the couple’s ongoing split.
Just days earlier, Sidora had filed court papers arguing she lacks the “financial resources” to secure new housing and could face homelessness if forced to move out of the marital home by the court-ordered May 31 deadline.
She also claimed the custody arrangement had shifted against her during proceedings, with a final ruling still pending.1
According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Ralph was recently awarded temporary primary custody of the couple’s two children. The decision followed testimony that the kids had been excessively absent from school while in Drew’s care.
Sidora was simultaneously ordered to vacate the family residence by the end of next month — a ruling she says leaves her and at least one child at risk of being without a home.
A High-Stakes Reality TV Divorce
Drew Sidora, known for her roles on RHOA, as well as acting and music projects (including appearances in films frequently streamed on platforms like Tubi), has been open about the personal toll of the divorce on the show.
Pittman, who works in the tech sector, has largely stayed out of the spotlight but has been vocal in court about the children’s schooling and household stability.
The income figures have ignited heated debate online. Many pointed out that $12,066 a month — roughly $145,000 annually before taxes — is a substantial salary by most standards, especially in Atlanta.
Critics questioned how Sidora could claim inability to secure housing, while others noted the couple’s high-cost lifestyle, including the marital home’s mortgage and the expenses of raising children in an affluent area.
Supporters of Sidora countered that her Bravo salary is episodic and supplemented by variable entertainment income, and that Ralph’s nearly six-figure monthly earnings (approximately $858,000 annually) give him far greater financial flexibility.
Social media reactions ranged from shock (“He makes what in tech?!”) to skepticism (“Those Housewives checks are way more than $12K”) and even memes comparing the former couple’s appearances.
Some users recalled earlier claims in the divorce that Ralph had sought spousal support, adding another layer of irony to the newly public numbers.
What Happens Next?
The May 31 move-out deadline remains in place unless overturned.
A final custody determination is still pending, and the divorce proceedings continue to play out publicly — both in court and across RHOA episodes. Sidora has not yet commented publicly on the income documents beyond the filings themselves.
This latest chapter underscores a common reality in high-profile divorces: what looks like substantial income on paper can quickly become strained when split between two households, legal fees, and maintaining a certain lifestyle.
For now, Drew Sidora finds herself fighting on two fronts — in court and in the court of public opinion — while the numbers tell a story of vastly different financial realities.
As the saga unfolds, fans of the franchise will no doubt be watching closely to see how this high-earning tech husband and his reality-star wife navigate the next courtroom battle. One thing is clear: in the world of Real Housewives, the drama is rarely just for the cameras.
