Drew Sidora’s rumored love interest and friend, Blakk Tatted, is facing serious legal trouble after three women filed lawsuits accusing him of borrowing large sums of money and failing to repay them. According to a TSR Investigates report from The Shade Room, the plaintiffs say he used promises of repayment to secure loans while supporting a lavish lifestyle.
The lawsuits were filed by Claudia Gregory, Bee Marie, founder of COTA Skincare, and comedian and actress Lala Milan. Blakk Tatted, whose real name is Cardell Bradley, is also known as the CEO of the hookah brand Blakk Smoke, which reportedly made $2 million in sales in 23 minutes during Black Friday 2023.
Gregory says she loaned Blakk $69,000 after he claimed he needed help covering payroll for employees. She said she believed he would pay her back after showing what she says was proof of $9 million in his PayPal account. Gregory alleges he told her the money was frozen during an investigation and would be repaid once the matter was resolved. Her lawsuit claims he later made excuses, sent only small partial payments, and stopped communicating regularly. Gregory said she eventually learned other women had similar complaints. She described feeling betrayed because she considered him close to family.
Bee Marie alleges that she loaned Blakk $300,000 and was never repaid. Her lawsuit says he repeatedly claimed he could not access business funds and was dealing with temporary banking or payment processor issues. She also alleges that when she asked for repayment, he responded with hostility, dismissiveness, and personal attacks instead of addressing the debt. Bee Marie says he continued taking money and seeking more loans while avoiding repayment. She is seeking more than $1 million in damages, saying she lost business opportunities because of the dispute.
Lala Milan’s lawsuit says she had a friendship with Blakk for more than 10 years before he allegedly asked her to transfer $25,250 between July and August 2025. She says he promised to repay the money by Black Friday 2025, but never did. According to the filing, he gave shifting explanations when repayment came due. Lala reportedly received only $4,000, leaving an outstanding balance of $21,250.
Gregory also claims Blakk tried to block the lawsuits by filing for bankruptcy, but the filing was unsuccessful. The allegations come as Blakk has been drawing attention on The Real Housewives of Atlanta because of his rumored connection to Drew Sidora. Earlier episodes showed tensions involving K. Michelle after questions surfaced about Blakk’s messages to her. Drew and Blakk have insisted they are just friends, though their public appearances together have fueled speculation among fans and cast members.
