Drew Sheds New Light on Drama With Porsha: "How Would It Look for Me To Go Film With Simon?"

Now that Drew Sidora and Porsha Williams have both filmed The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 with each other's exes, they should be even, right? Well, not exactly.

On The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show for Episode 13, Drew made a distinction between her going on camera with Dennis McKinley to document her musical journey and Porsha shooting a dinner with Ralph Pittman. Calling her castmate's actions, "petty and tit for tat," she also referenced Porsha and Simon Guobadia's contentious ongoing divorce.

"How would it look for me to go film with Simon?" Drew asked Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey in the above RHOA After Show clip. "You know, someone that we know is publicly humiliating you. [With] Ralph, you know we're going through our divorce, and I'm on the outs with him."

As Drew saw it, Porsha's sole purpose for meeting up with Ralph (and Shamea Morton) could have only been to talk about her. "You went behind my back and filmed with Ralph for no reason," she elaborated. "You guys aren't in business together. Obviously, you did it to be hurtful. So now what is the big energy you have for me?"

Understanding that perspective is ultimately what Drew believes led Porsha to "apologize" in Grenada — though "I'm sorry" never actually came out of her mouth. (In reality, Porsha just admitted that she "didn't use the best words" towards her at Shamea's birthday party.)

"Let’s just move on," the "DeLuLu" singer added. "You got your lick back; hope you feel better. Next."

Porsha Williams offers her POV on the Drew Sidora drama

Elsewhere on the After Show, Porsha gave her take on stepping away from the drama, admitting she may have been a bit hard on Drew.

"I had already decided that I didn't want to have any more beef with Drew," she shared. "It was a bit heavy on one side between her and Dennis. I was heavy on her because I felt it was more [a] principle of she and I were friends."

By the time the Grenada trip rolled around, Porsha was "more focused on" repairing her relationship with Dennis, anyway. "I just wanted her to genuinely, like, acknowledge the simple fact that there could've been a call. That's it," she claimed.

During the group’s first dinner in Grenada, Drew did, indeed, acknowledge her "misstep," adding that she could've put the info that she and Dennis were working together in a text, rather than simply messaging Porsha to request a formal one-on-one to discuss their music business arrangement.

"[Drew] saying, 'You know what, I admit I should've just picked up the phone and called you, instead of trying to fake text you,' I was cool," Porsha said on the After Show. "I was like, OK, I receive that. Like, it's no big deal."

As for her filming with Ralph, Porsha doubled down on her defense that she was simply having dinner with Shamea, who "was already meeting with" Drew’s estranged husband, rather than coordinating with him directly.

Though their initial sitdown lasted only 15 minutes (by Drew's estimation) before Porsha swiftly exited the conversation and took her tea to-go, the two made some more progress by the end of the first Grenada dinner. According to Porsha, beefing with Drew took "energy" that she no longer had to give.

"Now, I don't have any huge expectations on a friendship with you," Porsha cautioned, before referencing how Drew brought up rumors about her love life during their previous chat.
