Drew Sidora Reveals She Dated Michael B. Jordan: 'People That Know, Know'
Drew Sidora's latest confession about a past relationship has left many surprised, mostly because it has never been mentioned until now. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently sat down with Carlos King on his Reality with the King podcast, where she dished on her past relationships with Ty Young and Dennis McKinley — while also dropping a bombshell. The Step Up star revealed that she once dated Michael B. Jordan, long before he became the Hollywood heartthrob and talent he is today. 'I dated Michael B. Jordan,' she casually said. 'I never said that out loud publicly, but people that know, know.' Possibly even throwing a little shade at her past lovers, she added, 'I like biceps, not bellies.' And we all know MBJ has that plus more. Drew went on to reminisce about the days when Jordan was still a rising star, back when he was acting on All My Children in the early 2000s. According to Drew, she even attended the NAACP Awards as his date at that time. 'He asked me to be his date to the NAACP awards,' she recalled, adding that they were also friendly with each other's families. 'My sister Allison … he would come over and she would cook for him … I met his mom, and you know it was great.' Drew, however, isn't the only one who has spilled tea about a past Michael B. Jordan romance. Brie Tiesi made headlines in 2023 when she claimed to have been intimate with the Sinners star. During a dinner scene on Netflix's real estate reality show, Selling Sunset, Brie casually flexed, 'I could do that and I've done that,' when asked if she'd sleep with Jordan. Another realtor responded to her claims with, 'I want to live through that vagina right now.' While the world has witnessed Jordan's publicized romance with Lori Harvey, he's kept his dating life under wraps since their public split. The 38-year-old has since made it clear that he's not rushing into anything. 'My next relationship is gonna happen when it's supposed to happen,' he told Rolling Stone in 2023.

Kim Zolciak Slams Kroy Biermann Amid Divorce: ‘I've Wanted To Speak…'
The divorce of Real Housewives of Atlanta alums and continues to unravel in dramatic and very public fashion, and Kim's finally breaking her silence. During a live taping in Atlanta for Kristin Cavallari's Let's Be Honest podcast for E!'s Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour show, Kim opened up about her painful split. The two reality stars bonded over their messy breakups – Kristin finalized her divorce from former NFL player Jay Cutler in 2022 – and Kim didn't hold back. A preview for Kristin's upcoming E! show teased a raw conversation with Kim about love gone wrong. Kristin, no stranger to high-profile splits herself, didn't mince words: 'We're over here like, 'Are you f*cking kidding me?'' Kim took the moment to directly address a major accusation from her estranged husband. 'I've wanted to speak,' she told the crowd. 'Like, Kroy filing a motion saying I'm an unfit parent. I've been on TV what? Like 17 years. The only thing that hasn't been said about me is that I've been a bad parent. You cannot say that.' She continued, 'My kids are my entire life. They always have been. I raised my girls by myself. And that's one thing that Kroy knew what would hurt me the most.' Since filing for divorce in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage, things have spiraled fast. From numerous police visits to a court-ordered schedule for accessing their primary suite closet, the legal back-and-forth has been relentless. The court ordered both to undergo psychological testing. Despite sharing four children and once living under the same roof post-split amid financial ruin, the situation hasn't cooled. 'You're with somebody for this long, I'm not an *sshole,' Kim said. 'I still, even today, was nice on the phone. I still treat him with respect.' Even Kristin seemed overwhelmed by the intensity. 'It's not black or white, it's so complicated,' she said. There was once a glimmer of hope, the couple briefly called off the divorce last July. But Kroy refiled just weeks later, asking for sole custody and alimony. And though Kim claims they were still sleeping together months after, that too wasn't enough to fix things. As the legal back-and-forth drags on, Kim seems done staying quiet. The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Don't Be Tardy stream on Peacock and Hayu in the U.K. and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON KIM OPENING UP ABOUT HER AND KROY'S UGLY SPLIT? The post Kim Zolciak Slams Kroy Biermann Amid Divorce: 'I've Wanted To Speak…' appeared first on Reality Tea.
