'RHOA' fans label Courtney Rhodes 'vindictive' over 'weird' claims about Drew Sidora's sexuality

Courtney Rhodes claims that Ralph Pittman has proof of Drew Sidora and Ty Young's alleged relationship

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 15 concluded with a bang, and fans were dismayed when Ralph Pittman's long-lost cousin, Courtney Rhodes, opted to speculate on Drew Sidora's sexuality, saying that it was "no secret" that the latter "has fun with girls."

In her confessional Rhodes talked about Sidora's alleged bisexuality and claimed that she was aware that the latter pays visits to Ty Young in Texas. The cousin even stated that Pittman has evidence related to the claimed relationship and he intends to utilize it in the divorce proceedings.

'RHOA' fans react to Courtney Rhodes speculating on Drew Sidora's sexuality

Rhodes had an unfiltered hot mic moment where she claimed to have photographs of Young and Sidora on her phone but "wasn't going to say that on camera." She kept talking freely, implying that Sidora pressured Pittman to adopt Josiah , so she could "go be in [her] gay lover relationship and [Ralph] pays the bills."

On X (formerly Twitter), 'RHOA' fans condemned her actions.

One wrote, "Courtney is wicked - the way she was running her mouth shows that she has personal interest in Drew’s downfall. " 

"Courtney is giving alleged side piece. This commentary is very weird and vindictive. Definitely not giving "cousin" because why do you have pictures?" stated another. 

A fan expressed, "I’m disgusted by the way Ralph and Courtney were talking about rumors. I hate when people use sexuality in a weaponizing way. It’s giving homophobia….," about the confessional. 

"Courtney bringing up JoJo’s adoption was an all new low for her. She doesn’t need to return. I don’t think Drew needs “Tommy” to pay any bills. We still haven’t seen his “work.” Unless gaslighting is a profession," remarked an infuriated user. 

"Not trashy cousin Courtney making these adoption comments. What a low down dirty B***H. ##RHOA That cheater didn’t adopt her oldest son because he was already done with the marriage. Drew owes her an a** whooping," added one user, with one person noting, "Courtney is a lowdown guttersnipe - nobody asked you about Drew’s sexuality." 

Drew Sidora called her relationship with Ty Young 'platonic'

The show concluded with Sidora answering questions about Young, insisting that their connection was platonic, despite the fact that Mimi Faust had posted a cryptic Instagram status hinting at her ex's supposed relationship with the 'RHOA' star.

The said post included a photo of the duo at Pittman's birthday celebration with lyrics from Ice Spice's song "Munch."

Faust never fully defined the significance of her post, although she did say in an interview, "What is done in the dark will come to light."

Sidora stated that she suspected Pittman "conjured" the rumor and released it to the press himself after questioning if the cameras were still running. Her final title card says that she was still cohabiting and co-parenting the children with her husband.
