How to Watch
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
Drew and her RHOA castmates had gotten all dressed up in honor of Shamea Morton Mwangi's Rum Bum launch in Episode 16 when Terry arrived at the event with the unexpected gift. In the interim, Shamea's husband, Gerald Mwangi, had ushered everyone outside to see the horse. Unsure of how to react, Drew first said she was "so embarrassed" by her potential new romantic interest's over-the-top gesture.
"This is mine?" she asked. "Oh, my God. I don't know what I'm gonna do with her." Terry, for his part, replied, "That's what we're gonna figure out."
As it turned out, he already had some things to make up for with Drew (more on that below). Read on for details on Terry and his romance with Drew on RHOA.
Who is Terry D on RHOA Season 17?
Terry D is a potential love interest for Drew Sidora on RHOA Season 17. On Instagram, he referred to himself as the "proud owner" of two Atlanta businesses, Uptown Soul Food and Flatbush Barber Shop. Terry's social media also indicates that he's a musician under the moniker STP Temp and has also worked as an ATL party promoter.
How did Drew Sidora meet Terry?
Drew's hairstylist Walter introduced her to Terry at a work event that was documented in Season 17, Episode 11 of RHOA.
Drew elaborated in an Episode 11 confessional that she was hosting a health fair as part of her role as an Endometriosis Association ambassador when Walter told her that she needed to start dating Terry, who was at the event. From there, castmate Pinky Cole, who was also in attendance, intervened and invited Terry to her skating party as Drew's plus-one.
As Drew put it to a producer, "I do not wish to have a roster, I did not ask to have a roster, I don't have time to have a roster." (After all, she'd already gone on dates with another "friend" named Blakk Tatted earlier this season.)
Either way, her castmates still attempted to play matchmaker and referred to Terry as Drew's "man" when he showed up at Pinky's skating party. Drew, meanwhile, appeared to be hesitant, urging them all to stop pushing the issue, though the two were seen skating around the roller rink together, later on.

What happened between Drew Sidora and Terry on RHOA?
Fast-forward to Episode 16, and Drew revealed that Terry had no-showed to a date they planned, prior to Shamea's party.
After recapping how she met Terry and had seen him again at Pinky's skate party, Drew recounted to a producer how Walter had subsequently convinced her to go on a date with him. That's when a clip rolled showing Drew talking on the phone to Walter, who informed her that Terry "left" the date before it even began, because he was "scared."
"He's a no-show," Drew added in her Episode 16 confessional. "I'm humiliated. And now here we are at Shamea's Halloween party, and I'm stuck with a f--kin' horse. I'm so mad at Walter."
Why Drew Sidora was hesitant to date anybody on RHOA Season 17
Amid her earlier romance with Blakk, Drew explained that it was more important to keep her "energy and focus" on her three children, Josiah, Machai, and Aniya, as well as her "three-year-long divorce journey" with ex Ralph Pittman, rather than her love life.

Despite their mutual love and attraction, Blakk similarly expressed that he would not pursue a more serious relationship with Drew until her divorce from Ralph was finalized, anyway.
