Drew Sidora has been a scorching hot topic of late thanks to her integral spot on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ season 15.

The hit show’s latest installment has seen the multihyphenate star’s rollercoaster marriage to Ralph Pittman implode and her relationship with her fellow castmates more tested than ever.

As the age-old adage goes: why not make lemonade out of the lemons one has been dealt? And it’s a memo Sidora has taken and embraced as she struts forward. In both her career and her life more broadly.

For, the entertainer has poured her all into her emotional new single ‘Throw Us Away.’

Produced by Donald ‘haZEL” Sales’ and written Sidora with Nye the Songwrita, Ross Ramzey, Alesia Miller, the telling track chronicles the breakdown of a relationship. Suffice it to say, ‘Throw Us Away’ is very much art imitating life.

That Grape Juice sat down with Sidora ahead of the song’s release and her performance on the concluding part of the RHOA season 15 reunion this Sunday.

The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ may be set for a possible reboot, but that won’t be before its latest season climaxes with an explosive reunion.

This Sunday (September 3) brings with it the premiere of the first installment of the two-part season 15 reunion.

Following the unveiling of its trailer, many fans remarked that the Andy Cohen-anchored conclusion of the latest installment of RHOA looks set to be more entertaining than the season itself.

Further credence has been lent to that sentiment with the unwrapping of new sneak peeks.

In one particularly fiery scene, Sheree Whitfield takes aim at Kandi Burruss’ successful restaurant chain Old Lady Gang – intimating that the idea was stolen and that the ATL hot stop has “nasty a** floors.”

Suffice it to say, an “activated” Kandi clapped back thunderously. Verbally squaring up to the She By Sheree peddler, the revered entrepreneur said:

“Let’s not talk about you not paying the guy with the fashions and that’s why the fashions ain’t on that website.”

She went on to add:

“The fashions on your runway…half of them are not on your site. “

Yikes!
