"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Drew Sidora is setting the record straight on her headline-making social media spat with castmate Kelli Ferrell. Sidora explains that she simply tried to visit Ferrell's now-closed Nana's Chicken-N-Waffles location to treat her kids, but found it locked up. This sparked a heated online exchange between the two Bravo personalities, with Ferrell lashing out at Sidora. Sidora insists she's always been supportive of Ferrell, who joined the franchise last season, and believes Ferrell targeted her in a bid to secure her own spot on the show.

Why it matters

The drama between Sidora and Ferrell highlights the competitive nature of the "Real Housewives" franchise, where new cast members often feel the need to establish themselves by going after more established personalities. It also sheds light on the challenges of running a small business, as Ferrell's restaurant location has now closed down.

The details

Sidora says she initially documented her visit to Ferrell's restaurant on her Instagram Story, expressing confusion that the location was locked up with no one inside. She explains that she and her kids had just been shopping at a nearby Target and were hoping to grab a meal at the restaurant. Ferrell then took to social media to lash out at Sidora, leading to a heated back-and-forth between the two "Housewives." Sidora believes Ferrell targeted her in an effort to secure her own spot on the show, as the newcomer was "trying to figure out, like, 'Where do I fit in?'"

  • Sidora visited Ferrell's now-closed Nana's Chicken-N-Waffles location in early 2026.
  • The social media feud between Sidora and Ferrell erupted shortly after Sidora's visit to the restaurant.
