Ralph Pittman, Dennis McKinley, and Charles Oakley didn’t need to wait for their turn on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 reunion stage to start spilling the tea.
Prior to joining the ladies on RHOA‘s Reunion Part 3, Porsha Williams’ ex-fiancé, Dennis, paid a backstage visit to his friend Ralph, aka Drew Sidora’s estranged husband, who was getting a fresh line up in the barber’s chair.
“How has it been working with Drew?” Ralph asked during Part 2, to which the music producer replied, “Drew is talented, man. You know, that’s for sure.”
After Ralph told him, “I didn’t expect it to be an album about me,” Dennis revealed, “She brought a picture to the studio of your face and put it in the booth.”

Porsha’s ex added, “Don’t take it personally, man.”
Dennis McKinley opens up about handling reunion drama
Prior to hitting the stage, Dennis also visited Porsha’s dressing room while she was on a break from the three-part reunion and joked about her only being half-clothed, at the time.
“Anything I need to know? You coming in here with some bombs today?” she asked the father of their 6-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley. He promised her that there would be “no bombs” dropped, though.

While chatting with his own barber later during the July 27 episode, Dennis explained his expectations and reunion strategy.
“When the girls [are] beefin’ man, you’ve gotta stay out of it,” he said. “You’ve gotta let women handle their own business. But I’m here to support baby mama and Drew. That’s family, man. We gonna keep it positive and we gonna keep it movin’.”
Charles Oakley finally remembers Shamea Morton
When Angela Oakley first spotted her husband, Charles, backstage during a break in the reunion action, she exclaimed, “Come on, Oak, I need your energy,” prompting the retired NBA star to show her some of his dance moves and gas up his wife.
“You look great,” he told Angela, before asking, “Where all them haters at?”
On the reunion stage, Charles denied Shamea Morton and Phaedra Parks’ claims that they knew him — but not Angela — prior to filming RHOA Season 16.
“Shamea, I met her for the first time on the show,” he insisted, despite her reiterating that she’d met Charles “several times” in the past, including at a mutual friend’s wedding.
A photo even appeared on screen, showing Charles posing with her husband, Gerald Mwangi, whom she’d explained skipped the reunion to stay home with their kids because “it’s not his thing.”
“You might not know me. I mean, obviously you’re a legend, but…” she began, before Charles interjected, “You’re right, I don’t know you.”
After the RHOA men’s segment wrapped, Shamea ran into Charles while exiting her dressing room backstage and playfully asked, “You know me?”
Charles’ response? “Now I do.”
Now that Season 16 is officially in the books, don’t miss the big unseen moment that kicked off the RHOA reunion.
