Drama is already heating up ahead of the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and this time it’s playing out online between Drew Sidora and newcomer Kelli Ferrell.
Drew sparked the exchange after posting a video from Ferrell’s Sandy Springs restaurant, Nana’s Chicken & Waffles, where she arrived to find the doors locked. In the clip, Drew shared her confusion with followers, saying, “I am so confused. I wanted chicken waffles. I came to support my girl, and no one is here. No one is answering the phones. There is no one inside. And we were just at the grand opening a few months ago. Somebody help me out. I guess I’ve got to go to Waffle House.”

Kelli quickly fired back via Instagram, tagging Sidora directly. “I get it, you’re scrambling for a storyline,” she wrote, adding that she was dealing with “real life” responsibilities. Ferrell also took aim at Sidora’s career moves, writing, “So continue with the low budget movies, unpaid promo tours, and imaginary business ventures.”
Drew to “keep my name out of” her posts and suggesting she call ahead next time.
With season 17 still under wraps, the tension between the two Housewives is already giving fans a preview of what may unfold once cameras start rolling.
