Porsha Drops a Bombshell on Drew's Love Life to a Producer: "Can Y'all Take That Out?"
While the two attempted to make amends amid their ongoing friendship drama during RHOA Season 16, Episode 13, Porsha explained that Dennis McKinley "wanted to make it clear" that he's "not the one" Drew was hooking up with. Then, she casually mentioned "the guy, Black, who you're dating or whatever."
Instantly taken aback, Drew asked, "My friend?" and denied the rumor's accuracy. "I would not jeopardize my future with my kids to start dating. I'm going through a divorce,' she replied, referencing her "very messy" ongoing legal battle with estranged husband Ralph Pittman. "That's a friend. Listen, I'm not dating anybody. I don't have a boyfriend. So, for the record, we're gonna clear that."
Later, when a producer asked how Porsha found out "Drew and Black were dating," she blabbed, "Dennis told me," quickly realizing her slip-up.

"Did I say that before? Is that new?" she questioned. "Ooh, was I not supposed to say that? Can y'all take that out?"
Prior to that, the only intel viewers had gotten from Porsha and Dennis' conversation about Drew in Episode 9 was the latter saying, "I'm not the one hittin' it." When his ex-fiancée asked who was, then, all he said back on camera was, "It ain't me." (During and Episode 10 dinner with Porsha and Shamea Morton, Ralph also vaguely alluded to Drew having "somebody else that she was dealing with," who was not Dennis.)
During their ill-fated sitdown, Drew also mentioned internet chatter about Porsha dating a famous rapper to illustrate that they could "throw things out there all day" about each other's personal lives. After denying the speculation, Porsha insisted that her intentions in bringing up Drew's love life weren't malicious.
"Why would you let rumors about you and Dennis linger?" she wondered in a confessional. "If you're dating Dennis, you're dating Dennis. But if you really aren't and you're with Black, claim Black. But instead, I'm met with anger, aggression. It's kind of annoying. Like, I just wanna be good."

Later, when both sat down for the first group dinner on the Grenada trip, the topic arose again, with Porsha citing Drew's repeating gossip about her dating life as an example of why they couldn't move forward with a friendship. When the latter pointed out that she'd done the same to her, the Pampered by Porsha founder attempted to defend herself once again.
"I literally brought up Black because the whole narrative that you say you've been trying to clear up is that you [and Dennis] aren't sleeping together, right?" she said. "So, if you're already dating this guy named Black, why did you let it go so far? Just say this is who I'm really with."

Drew, again, denied the dating rumors, however, telling Porsha to not "throw out … what the streets are saying."
Nobody, according to Drew — at least not seriously, anyway. While chatting with Cynthia Bailey in Grenada, she revealed, "I am not dating. … I've been, obviously, meeting people. And it's good to have, like, a friendship, I'll say that."
When Cynthia suggested Drew has "friends with benefits," she shot that down, too, maintaining that her "friendship" was strictly platonic and, again, blaming her ongoing divorce and "very petty" estranged husband for why she's avoiding any serious romance.
More recently, Drew updated Cynthia on The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show that she had casually "gone out on dates," but a "real commitment" still wasn't even on her radar. Citing Ralph-induced trust issues, she further admitted to not being "in the healthiest of places to even date someone" or "100 percent available to want to go down that road."

Drew Barrymore Gives Advice on Self-Forgiveness and Business Success in ‘Dear Drew' Column
Drew Barrymore is a new contributor for Us Weekly. Below, the actress, talk show host and businesswoman gives advice to two readers: Your questions answered, with love from me to you! @amatorilove writes: Dear Drew, How can I finally forgive myself for the person I was and mistakes I made while in survival mode? I love this question so much because I have to deal with it all the time. I feel that I've made so many mistakes, and it just echoes all my fears when I look at my two daughters. Like, I really don't want them to go through any of the stuff I did, and yet, I can't work from fear. I have to use all my knowledge and life experience to navigate parenting two girls. Maybe I was built for this? Maybe all my mistakes helped me learn the lessons of my own personal rights and wrongs, and I might not have the moral compass I have if I hadn't gone through those things. I also take a lot of responsibility for what I've done. I own it, and I don't blame others. I admire people who had it together early on — maybe they came from a good family or they're people who just seem to have such a natural decency about them. It didn't take trial by fire for them to become emotionally rational people. Those are my heroes, the ones I've learned from and followed. We can become the person we always wanted to be. Even if it takes longer than we thought. But we also have to use our past as our strength, not our weakness. You lived! You learned! Now go take all that wisdom and fly. Don't let it hold you back. And try not to beat yourself up. It's such an easy trap. We can't waste any more time. I'm guessing we've all repented and put in the time to figure a lot out. So let's try to be proud. I'm sure you have much to be proud of, so today, focus on that. Love, Drew Drew Barrymore Through the Years: From 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' to Becoming a Mother and More @veerobles22 writes: Dear Drew, What was the toughest lesson to learn in your career when it came to business? I'm still learning lessons in business all the time. I've learned that not everything will be embraced or a success. I've learned that unless I've really put in the hours, nights, weekends, it won't happen by osmosis or hope. I've learned that I need a partner. I believe we don't accomplish much on our own, and I love someone's motivation and skills, whether they're like mine or not. I've learned that every single person matters and deserves respect and appreciation. Things would fall apart without them. I've learned that if there's a fire in you, don't try to put it out! Let it burn and fuel your passions. That will make the nights and weekends easier. And if you can somehow work with friends — whether you make them at work or bring them in — it makes all the difference. Being with people you love and laugh with can be the difference between true enjoyment and feeling like you're stuck in the grind. Having someone at work you personally like is a game changer. Even if you need to seek someone out and foster a connection, you have nothing to lose. When things go well, it's miraculously rare and needs to be celebrated. I used to keep my head down and do the work, but not feel the joy of accomplishment. I don't want to let that pass me by as much in the future. I guess my mission is to bring as much joy into work as possible. And I hope with all my heart that you find what makes you happy because you deserve it. Solve the daily Crossword
