Real Housewives Of Atlanta’s Drew Sidora claims Nicki Minaj made comments about her post-baby body during an audition
Real Housewives Of Atlanta newcomer Drew Sidora says Nicki Minaj once made very unfiltered comments about her post-baby body when she auditioned for a part of an ABC Family show based on the rapper’s life.
Drew, 35, talked about the experience and how it inspired her to take control over her health while appearing on Kandi Burruss’ YouTube series Speak on It this week.
The actress/reality star said that she was shocked when Minaj compared her figure to how she looked during her 2013 role as TLC’s T-Boz in the TV movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.
‘So, I was up for an ABC family series, a Nicki Minaj pilot. And Nicki herself said that. She said I don’t look how I looked when I played T-Boz,’ Sidora said.

‘I was like, “Nicki!” It was like, all these ABC execs around but I had gone through about five rounds. And she really, really liked me,’ said Drew, who is most known for her roles on That’s So Raven, The Game and Hindsight.
‘And then she said that in front of all of these [executives],’ she continued. ‘It is was it is. I was like, “Look, I just had a baby.”
‘I think at the time my baby was like 3 months old, I was literally still breastfeeding,’ Drew, a mother-of-one, explained.

‘What I took away was, “Girl, get your life together. Get back in the gym. You can’t keep blaming it on the baby and get to work,”‘ she told Burruss.
‘Like, yes, I had a baby, let’s not body shame, but it did give me that motivation. So I turned it into lemonade like let’s get in the gym and really get my career back. So, I’ve been on a journey of weight loss and just getting back to good health.’
Sidora is new to the Real Housewives world, just joining Atlanta for season 13.
‘I like to have fun,’ Sidora told People of her personality. ‘People don’t get to know a lot about me, so this was a great opportunity just to bring myself, my family, who I am and my truth, the good and ugly.’

And Drew says she’s not afraid to share some of her hardship on the show, telling People: ‘I may have had a successful career, but it definitely hasn’t been easy.’
‘And I’m a human being, just like everyone else. I deal with problems. I make mistakes. So I just felt like as long as I’m true to self, hopefully, it can inspire somebody to entertain the people.’
