Jack of all trades? Ralph Pittman fancies himself a speaker, author, and musician in his Instagram bio. But that’s not all. His website also lists him as a business strategist and the founder and CEO of My Mind Music.
According to the company’s website, Pittman created My Mind Music “to help children reach REM sleep to help children get the rest they need so parents get the rest they deserve.” But make no mistake about it. “These are not nursery rhymes or jingles,” Pittman explained during an interview with Forbes in March 2021. “In fact, I intentionally produce music that children will not sing along to.”

Alas, it’s his foray as an author that kicked off Massage-gate. The story goes that Pittman had the idea to write a book about how to be a stepfather, drawing from his own experience as a stepfather to Sidora’s eldest son from a previous relationship, Josiah. He quickly realized he needed an assistant and explained to Sanya Richards-Ross’ husband, Aaron Ross, that he brought someone in to help. He claimed that his wife, Drew Sidora, overreacted to what was merely a professional relationship. It should be noted, however, that he failed to mention the part where said assistant offered to give him a massage. But what’s the deal with the book now that his role as stepfather has grown increasingly complicated, given the breakdown of his marriage to his stepson’s mother? Good question.
