The drama between Porsha Williams and Drew Sidora heated up on The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Season 16, and it all centers around Dennis McKinley, Porsha’s ex-fiancé and the father of her daughter, Pilar Jhena. The tension between the two women reached a boiling point during Episode 2, which aired on March 16, 2025. Here’s what went down—and why Porsha is still feeling some type of way about it.
Drew Sidora’s Clarification
During the premiere episode, Drew Sidora made waves by revealing that Dennis McKinley had been helping her with her music career, something that clearly ruffled some feathers. In the latest episode, Drew was forced to clarify the nature of her relationship with Dennis after a heated exchange at Shamea Morton Mwangi’s birthday party.
Drew explained that her collaboration with Dennis wasn’t personal—it was strictly business. “I have been signed to so many legends and my music has not gotten to the level where I thought and dreamt it would be,” Drew shared. “Dennis came to the table with an offer. It’s a business relationship.”
She added that if Porsha had come to her with concerns, Drew would have been open to hearing them—without the drama. “Had [Porsha] said, ‘No,’ then I would have had to evaluate it. I feel like she has to tell me she feels a way and not aggressively attack me and accuse me of things she has been hearing because Dennis has been an advocate for me and [estranged husband] Ralph [Pittman] as well.”
While Drew was explaining her side of the situation, Porsha made it clear that there was more to the story than just a professional partnership. According to Porsha, the real issue wasn’t Dennis’s involvement in Drew’s career—it was the way Drew handled the situation.
Porsha Williams Reflects on the “Sneaky” Situation
Porsha recently stopped by Bravo HQ and opened up about the drama surrounding Dennis and Drew’s professional relationship. She explained that it wasn’t necessarily that Drew was working with Dennis, but rather that the whole thing felt underhanded. “Working with him wasn’t the issue, it was more so about her wanting to film with him behind my back, without me knowing,” Porsha explained. “That’s just courtesy here at the job.”
As many RHOA fans know, the relationships on the show are complex, and Porsha had some serious concerns about the lack of transparency. She drew a comparison to a situation where the roles might have been reversed. “Like if I was going to film with Ralph, I’m sure she would want to know,” Porsha said. “So, I just felt like it was something sneaky that was happening that I didn’t like.”
After calling out the secrecy, Porsha said she eventually came to terms with the situation. “Once I got past letting her know how I felt, I mean, it kind of is what it is, and her working with him is their personal business.” But the underlying feeling of betrayal still lingers for Porsha.
The Bigger Picture
It’s clear that while Drew and Dennis may have a legitimate business relationship, Porsha Williams concerns run deeper than just a professional partnership.
