In part 2 of “The Real Housewives of Dubai” Season 2 reunion, Taleen Marie and Caroline Brooks continue to scream at each other about Rafael Khanoyan stepping into their fight. Andy Cohen asks why he got involved in the first place. “He was de-escalating the situation,” Taleen says.
Brooks says Rafael shouldn’t have yelled at her and Andy points out that they’re friends, which still doesn’t make it okay. “Can we move on? Please, I don’t want to go there. It’s going to make me mad,” she tells Andy.
Andy pivots to Brooks’ “Watch What Happens Live” appearance when she said she’d forgive Taleen if she got an apology. He points out that Taleen has already said sorry more than once after their fight and Brooks is okay to move forward.
However, Taleen needs Brooks to take accountability for all the online nastiness she directed toward her. Brooks admits, “I did take it too far sometimes.” Andy hopes they can have a convo after the reunion and mend their friendship.
Backstage, the two try to hash things out but Brooks fails to take accountability for her actions. Taleen says, “You wanted me on the show to bring Stanbury and everyone down.” Brooks accuses her of wanting to be on “RHODubai” since Season 1 and their fight hasn’t been resolved at all.
Lesa Milan’s receipts fail to land again
Lesa Milan’s spa event gets brought up and Brooks is still upset that she wasn’t asked to host it at her own spa. She didn’t even want to take advantage of the services because she thought it was a conflict of interest with her business.
“I watch other TV shows that I don’t work on,” Andy says with a shrug. The other ladies also point out how Brooks uses spa services outside of her business, such as when she’s traveling.
Lesa adds that when she hosted her spa event, Brooks had a grand opening for Glass House but she wasn’t invited, along with Chanel Ayan.
“I feel like this group likes to take each one’s wins away,” Caroline Stanbury says. Lesa uses this moment to get back at Stanbury for saying she stole designs for Mina Roe last season. She tells Stanbury that she bought three of the journals she sells with inspirational quotes and has proof that she doesn’t write them herself.
Andy looks bored. “Is this going to land?” he asks. Lesa insists that what she has is juicy. She shows two journals side by side that have the same writing. “You put your name on something that you didn’t even write,” Lesa crows.
“I didn’t say I wrote it,” Stanbury says. She adds, “Your creams are from Alibaba.” Not Alibaba!
Caroline Stanbury is still not ready to be a 50-year-old mom
The topic of Stanbury’s 20-year-younger husband, Sergio Carrallo, comes up. He wants a baby ASAP but she’s done birthing offspring. She has joked about him leaving her as she gets older but the other “RHODubai” cast thinks he’s with her until the hobbling end.
Andy says that surrogacy is legal in Dubai now and Stanbury has the option of not carrying her baby. “Am I longing for a baby? No,” she answers. “I’m torn because I love my life … but I love Sergio too.”
They all think that Sara Al Madani would be a perfect surrogate but she’s still figuring out her own love life after her failed relationship with Akin Fontana. When asked why they didn’t work out, she says, “He cheated.”
Sara reveals that she hired a detective and found evidence through his exes. However, it was a weird relationship and Sara won’t even say if they kissed even though they were exclusive.
The voice note fight comes up
Season 2 of “RHODubai” saw Lesa and Chanel’s tight friendship take a hit. Lesa was jealous of Chanel getting closer to Stanbury and things only got worse after her bestie played a voice note from Sara to Stanbury and Taleen.
Stanbury then brought it up during dinner in Bali and Lesa told Chanel that she couldn’t trust her again. Since then, Lesa and Chanel’s friendship just disintegrated and it turns out, it all has to do with Rihanna.
Chanel explains that the “Umbrella” singer follows her on social media and Lesa asked her for connections so that she can gift Rihanna with Mina Roe items.
Rihanna was supportive of Chanel’s beauty line but Chanel didn’t feel comfortable pimping out Lesa’s maternity clothes on camera without permission from the pop star. That’s when she thinks Lesa’s friendship started to wane.
The most shocking revelation is that both Chanel and Stanbury claim that Lesa knew about the voice note before it got brought up at dinner even though she swore on her kids’ lives that she didn’t. Sara says that even the producers knew that Lesa knew about the voice note, which Andy confirms.
Lesa insists that Chanel told her that Stanbury was going to play something at the dinner but she had no idea that it was the voice note, hence her surprise, which led to their fight.
There’s hope for Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan
Andy wants Lesa and Chanel to move on. Lesa says she can’t because Chanel said that she wants her body in a casket. Chanel is confused and Lesa says Brooks told her so, which we all know is not a reliable source.
However, Lesa says that after telling Brooks she didn’t believe her, Brooks then called Chanel on speakerphone and repeated her words. “She then said, ‘F*ck that b*tch,'” Lesa claims. “I would never say that,” Chanel screams.
Lesa gets emotional and walks away and everyone jumps on Brooks for setting Chanel up. When Lesa comes back, Chanel tells her that she doesn’t want to end their fight like this and hopes to talk over coffee one day. “I don’t want to throw away this friendship. My door is also open,” Lesa replies.
As the reunion closes, the ladies all give gifts to each other. Brooks gives Chanel a blinged-out cup and tells her, “Because you need to quench your thirst wherever you go.” Meow. “Thank you, f*cking b*tch,” Chanel tells her.
Chanel gives Lesa a jug of water, Sara gifts Taleen underwear gummies, and Taleen gives Brooks an item of clothing she borrowed. Stanbury gives everyone a sugar daddy t-shirt and last but not least, Lesa hands Stanbury an I.D. that says that she’s the president of her fan club. The RHODubai cast loves a good shade. Until next season!
