On a June 5, 2022, episode of Kandi’s Speak On It podcast, Sanya made it a point to set the record straight about her “friendship” with Drew and how the ladies first met.

“I was introduced to Drew by a stylist we had in common,” Sanya told Kandi. And we hung out maybe two or three times before we officially started filming. So I feel like saying the word friends is loose, we were friendly. We were friendly. Because friendships are built over time.”

However, Kandi made it a point to bring up that Sanya called Drew after she got into a car accident. So, Sanya saying that she’s not friends with Drew doesn’t quite make sense. Sanya quickly countered Kandi’s argument by saying that she had spoken to Drew before getting into the accident and simply called her back to let her know what happened.

“And she offered, so I said ‘Sure, that would be cool if you’d like to come,’” Sanya told Kandi. “Because we’re bonding. It was another opportunity for us to get to know each other. But we still weren't like besties. It was just friendly.”

The messiness worsened when Drew pulled a Kenya Moore Seasons 5 and 6 by taunting Sanya with a prop, i.e., her hair. In one scene from the reunion, Drew repeatedly flipped her deep wave tresses in Sanya’s direction, prompting her to tell Andy, “I’m gonna have to move in a second!”

By the end of the three-part special, Sanya and Drew declared that their budding friendship needed more than a reunion to improve. But when Bravo announced that Sanya and Drew were returning for Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, fans were eager to see how these two would interact in future episodes.

And, it seems like time made the heart grow fonder and these frenemies have become friends, at least, for now.
