Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Drew Sidora says her costar Shereé Whitfield owes her money for the birthday party they threw for Kenya Moore and Marlo Hampton.
“Shereé still owes me money from Marlo and Kenya’s birthday party so she needs to run me my money,” she told Insider in an interview.
Sidora did not give an exact dollar amount of the alleged debt. “At this point, I keep reducing it. Like, girl, just put five on it,” she said.
The party appeared in season 14, episode 16. It served as an attempt to heal the ongoing rift between Hampton and Moore. Whitfield and Sidora’s party featured $700 worth of metallic mylar balloons and $500 in DJ services. The catering menu included shrimp and lobster. Fresh white roses adorned the tables.
Whitfield, who was busy with her She By Shereé fashion show, thought the event was over the top for a house party. “This is a little much for me,” she told Sidora during a walkthrough of the setup. Later she joked that since she did not have sufficient input she might just reimburse Drew for one-fourth of the invoice amount.
“It’s the principal that she said out of her mouth, she was going to pay 50% and now she’s pivoting and switching and she hasn’t given me a dime. I can’t respect that,” Sidora said.
Sidora joked that she was now considered an investor in Whitfield’s fashion line that was 14 years in the making.
This is not the first time the costars have clashed over finances.
Whitfield previously said Sidora was trying to embarrass her by accusing her of not paying a former assistant at a birthday party for Kenya Moore’s daughter, Brooklyn, in season 14, episode three. Whitfield denied that the person in question was ever her assistant.
Sidora, who joined the cast during season 13, said she was hoping to be friends with the original peach-holder.
“My true intention was to not get on the wrong foot with Shereé because I did not know her. I thought I was doing the upstanding thing just to let her know, ‘Hey, I got an assistant, they used to be your intern.’ She got big mad about it and we could never come back from it,” said Sidora.
Sidora believes they can continue to be cordial in group settings but she still wants the issue of the party resolved. “I’m standing my ground. We can have a toast. We drank some tequila, but she still owe me my money,” she said.
Parts one and two of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 14 reunion are now streaming on Peacock. The third part of the reunion airs on September 25.
