The 38-year-old singer and actress and Ralph, 40, split earlier this year after nine years of marriage and she addressed filing for divorce in a confessional.
‘I lost my voice in the marriage, and I allowed things that no woman should ever allow,’ Drew said five days after filing for divorce. ‘I allowed him having inappropriate relationship with women. I allowed Tampa.’
‘Did he ever come back to your room?,’ a producer asked, referencing Ralph leaving their bedroom.
‘No,’ Drew said and then started crying.

At 8pm during Drew’s confessional taping, Mimi Faust, 53, posted a story suggesting that her ex, former WNBA star Ty Young, 36, and Drew had an affair. At 8:01 news of the alleged affair hit the press while Drew was still taping. She told production that she met Ty on the set of The Pass movie by Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss.
Drew said she believed that Ralph leaked the rumor of her being with Ty to the press and then started crying.
Production also sat down with Ralph the next day, on March 4, and he said he was ready to talk about Drew.
‘I asked Drew for the divorce,’ Ralph said. ‘We ended up getting into a pretty big argument, and that’s when I said that I wanted to file for divorce.’
Ralph called his lawyer who told him that he couldn’t talk about his big fight with Drew.
‘Are Drew and Ty dating?’ a producer asked.
‘Ty and Drew, they have a friendship together, and that’s pretty much as far as I can actually say,’ Ralph said. ‘I can’t talk about it.’
Courtney Rhodes, 48, said in a confessional that she heard that Drew was bisexual and had fun with girls and that Ralph was aware of it. Courtney said she also heard that Drew was traveling to Texas to visit Ty.

Kenya Moore, 52, and Shereé Whitfield, 53, checked in with Drew while she was in the makeup chair. Drew said she was feeling a roller coaster of emotions.
‘The lawyer he got went to the media and that’s why the headline was ”he filed”,’ Drew said. ‘It was like so messy. And then as they got court documents, they saw actually I got 61 minutes before.’
Drew told production that things with Ralph had not been getting better.

Drew and Ralph went to see Dr. Ken, their marriage counselor.
‘Ralph agreed to come see Dr. Ken because at this point we are literally fighting for our marriage,’ Drew said.
Ralph said he had been making out of changes and moved out of their bedroom.
‘We are not even sharing the same space, so very disconnected,’ Drew said.
Ralph said he moved out to get to a place where he was comfortable and said it felt ‘liberating.’ Drew said she felt alone and that Ralph never discussed the move with her. Drew said even the kids have asked her why Ralph had moved out. Ralph said he was just making changes that made him feel good.
‘Drew loves the heat on like 82 and I’m a guy that likes it like closer to 68, 72,’ Ralph said.

‘It’s sad,’ Kenya said when she read the news.
Sheree called Marlo and said she was confused who filed for divorce first.
‘On here it says she filed but then when you click on another one, it says they were racing to get there and she got there an hour before him,’ Marlo said.
‘Now what the streets are saying is she is dating Ty, the basketball player Mimi’s ex, ‘ Marlo said. ‘That’s what the street is saying now.’
Sheree was shocked because in Portugal, Drew made such a huge deal about kissing a woman. Marlo said in a confessional that a week earlier at Ralph’s birthday party that Drew was there with a ‘a girl that she was dating, Ty.’
Kandi said that Drew met Ty on set.
‘The rumor mills say that Ty and Drew hooked up,’ Kandi said in a confessional.

‘Tough time,’ Sanya said. ‘I was rushed off in an ambulance to the hospital. I lost so much blood that I had to get a blood transfusion especially not having Ross there, being by myself it was really, really hard.’

According to Sanya’s captions her family moved out to a house 10 minutes away and she and Ross were already pregnant again.
