Drew Sidora Skips BravoCon 2023 amid Divorce and Ongoing Rumors of a Possible Series Reboot

Drew Sidora is missing in action at BravoCon 2023.

The The Real Housewives of Atlanta star skipped the Bravo fan convention in Las Vegas, despite previously announcing she would appear on Friday’s ‘Viva Las Atlanta Peaches’ panel with her co-stars.

Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Marlo Hampton, Sanya Richards-Ross and Shereé Whitfield sat on the panel without Sidora, taking the team through their fantastic season with moderator X Maya.

PEOPLE has reached out to Sidora’s representative. Bravo’s representative had no comment.

Sidora’s absence comes amid her ongoing divorce from Ralph Pittman, which a source close to the star tells PEOPLE is still unresolved. The two are still in mediation and have not yet agreed on a settlement.

Sidora and Pittman first met in 2013, while she was visiting Los Angeles to promote her performance as Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins in the VH1 original CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story — although they did not begin to issue until the following March. Pittman proposed in June 2014, just three months after their first date. They were married that August, exchanging vows at sunset on the beach.

The former couple are parents to son Machai (8) and daughter Aniya (5). Sidora is also the mother of a son Josiah (12) from a previous relationship.

Fans first met the family of five when Sidora joined them RHO in season 13. It didn’t take long for us to see the cracks in their romance, with Sidor and Pittman getting into a fight during their anniversary dinner in the second episode of the season.

Signs of trouble continued for years until they officially called it quits, lobbying to file for dual divorces just 61 minutes apart on March 3, 2023 — days after season 15 production officially ended.

In Sidora’s petition, the first to be filed, she made an explosive series of accusations against her Pittman, including claims that he was a “serial cheater and adulterer” who abused her both mentally and financially and was even “physically aggressive” towards her at one point.

“Obviously, I stand behind everything in the petition,” she told PEOPLE in June. “It was just a culmination of things that shouldn’t happen in a marriage. And I think the inability to own that, the inability to apologize, the inability to resolve it, the inability to take care of my emotional state and wanting to work and heal it, was very challenging.”

But Pittman denied all her claims in a response, insisting he was never unfaithful or abusive.

“I love my wife with all my heart. It’s no secret that marriage is a challenging journey, a journey not for the faint of heart,” he told PEOPLE, also in June. “My family means the world to me and I have dedicated myself to providing support, encouragement and acting as a pillar of strength for my wife and children.”

“While we know the real reason that ultimately led to my filing for divorce, I am using this time to be more introspective and work on becoming the best version of myself,” he continued. “I stand by my response to the petition, but I sincerely apologize for my role in the deterioration of our relationship. As the seasons change, I am hopeful and optimistic for brighter days ahead.”

Sidora’s absence from BravoCon also comes as speculation grows that Bravo executives may be planning to completely reboot the series for Season 16, the same way they The Real Housewives of New York for season 14.

Production included RHO they would usually start, though executive producer Andy Cohen said the show needed a little hiatus to figure things out.

Asked about the reboot rumors at BravoCon on Saturday, Cohen told the audience that although it’s a success RHONY taught that the conversion “can be done well”, he does not believe that it will happen RHO anytime soon.

“I always like to build with what we have,” he said. “I think Atlanta it has some really strong building blocks that are already in place that we have an opportunity to grow Atlanta.” BravoCon 2023 continues through Sunday, November 5 as Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.
