"She is a lapdog"— Drew doubles down on her claim about Shamea in The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16

In The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 episode 12, Shamea confronted Drew for calling her a lapdog, and said it was uncalled for since she thought they were "good." Drew told the cast member that they were good until Shamea twisted her words about what she had said about paying for PJ's education.

In a confessional, Drew explained why she still stood by the comment she made and said that Shamea didn't have the "same energy" for Porsha or the other cast members. The producers asked if Drew still believed the comment to be true, and the RHOA star said:

"She is a lapdog."

However, at the event, Drew apologized to The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 cast member for calling her names. She said that while she didn't mean to hurt Shamea, she was hurt. In response, Shamea told Drew that she could kiss her "a**," and Drew asked her to listen to her.

Shamea didn't want to listen to the season 16 star and called her reasoning "bullsh*t." When Drew continued to try to explain, Shamea barked at the table, imitating a dog.

Fans of RHOA season 16 commented on the feud online and sided with Drew Sidora.
