The chaos 

we're believing deuxmoi now? sweetie...

The tea is that Nina (via her husband) and Caroline Stanbury (barely) are the only ones with some wealth. Caroline S gets freebies for literally everything, which is why her Instagram stories are constantly advertising various hotels, dog foods, you name it.

 

Chanel Ayan is allegedly the poorest of the group, which is why we don’t see her house at all on the show. Apparently she said on a Twitter Spaces chat that she borrows from Lesa Milan too, and the wig she’s wearing in her cast/promo pic is Lesa’s. She’s the producer’s favorite.

 

Caroline Brooks spilled A LOT of tea in a Twitter space before the show premiered. Apparently one of the producers hates her. She was the mistress of a Nigerian football player (Odion Ighalo) and caused his divorce. She was also the mistress of a Kenyan minister Hassan Joho. She’s also lying about a lot of her real estate successes because the government is involved with any high stakes real estate, and she’s a foreigner. She’s smart to capitalize on the show to build her spa, unlike her other costar…

 

Which brings me to Lesa Milan! I love her on the show, but she’s going to be EXPOSED, especially after coming after Caroline Stanbury. Her husband is a known scammer. He claims to be an entrepreneur and has 25+ years of business experience, but it’s all smoke a mirrors. Any money he’s made has been stealing the savings of British expats new to Dubai. He’s a roller dials salesman. They live off of loans and credit (like many in Dubai, since the banks give out money freely), and are hoping to cash in on RHODubai to make their money. They rent their house too, and the inside is not as nice as the outside, hence why all their at home scenes aren’t filmed in her yard. It’s also alleged that Lesa Milan was an escort in Miami. She’s “dated” former NFL player Warren Sapp (Google him  ), Usain Bolt, and Kevin Durant. Lesa Milan’s business is also not as successful as she claims it is, and I read that she barely gets 1000 unique visits on her line’s website a month. Many of her designs are stolen from wholesale fashions, and peddled as designer. Her and Chanel Ayan were acquaintances at best before the show, but are playing up the best friends role for the show. Apparently the entire cast can’t stand them, and will be gunning for them at the reunion. Her actual best friend was an influencer named Omolisa, but now they’re bitter enemies, and maybe she’ll end up on the show in the future for drama. 
 

Sara Al-Madani is a former government minister, but ****** it up over some Netflix actor from Italy. They had an affair while married, she flew him out to Dubai and promised him a bunch of business opportunities, and used government money to fund his stay. She was fired, he was placed under house arrest, and then quietly allowed to leave the country. None of her 15 businesses are actual functioning businesses allegedly, and she skates by by giving phony speeches about business, entrepreneurship, etc. 
 

This thread goes more in depth with all of the women (and Sergio)’s tea, with some members even doing their own investigating: https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/the-real-housewife-of-dubai-cast-tea-thread.4833460/
 

Very fascinating stuff, and I think the reunion and eventual season 2 are going to be GOOD now that the girls understand the assignment!  

Now why would Tinsley go and blow all the goodwill she had with Bravo fans by doing this? The fact that everyone was excited for her for once, and she does this  

 I have no words... aside from to say that I watched the last episode after reading your post and now Nina and Stanbury are the only ones I can stand

Bev Hills is so boring.

 

Diana has it out for Sutton for some reason and just doesn't like her, no matter what Sutton does. As much as I like Garcelle and am glad she's pushing story along, she's doing the most with this "Erika could be becoming an alcoholic" narrative.

"some reason" is needing a storyline and being Rinna's friend who was brought on, and Rinna knows about her madame-ing business from being photographed for her book, so she's been enlisted / blackmailed into doing Fox Force Four's dirty work (looks like they're a Fox Force Five again! ) its funny bc at the sit down with Sutton, there were moments when it seemed like Diana wanted to make peace (you could see it in her eyes), or even to laugh (once again you could see it in her eyes). but you can tell needing a check/ storyline + being amped up by her talk earlier with Erika in her ear prevented her from backing down (to the point that her arguments became nonsensical bc u can tell that's not really the way she feels from the heart)

On WWHL, Brooks said after hearing about Stanbury’s traumatic experience she’s not sending her son to boarding school after all. 
 

I love how unbothered Sara is tho at Brooks losing her **** on them. It’s funny how Ayan calls it preachy but i don’t see it as anything but good intentioned 

Sara didn't seem unbothered she seemed on something lol

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

Garcelle is lowkey pushing it but is she wrong though?

 

Drunk erika is coming for Children and Crystal soon based on previews. She even said herself the first episode that she’s sitting at home drinking and eating Taco Bell and not remembering it  

 

edit: I also woke up with a Taco Bell bag next to me so I can’t really talk

Erika is obviously behaving really badly, but to say it’s alcoholism after witnessing two occasions where she’s been sloppy is doing far too much. Kyle was right to disagree with her.

[stjosephprey4us]

Garcelle wasn’t saying Erika’s an alcoholic she was saying this kind of behavior can lead to alcoholism if they don’t stop and help their friend and bring it to her attention. You can also literally die from mixing pills with alcohol. I know for some of the party bottoms in here it may be a normal Saturday night, but it’s not that much of a stretch for Garcelle to believe there’s a problem w risking one’s health for the sake of getting ****** up

Exactly. Especially knowing the **** that Erika is involved with, it would be VERY easy for her to spiral out of control, following all the lawsuits and people being against her. Garcelle was absolutely right and she even let Erika's behavior slide. She could have went IN on her for going after her children but chose the high road, which is a testament of her character. 

 

Btw, one thing I noticed. I feel like Garcelle and Sheree don't really like each other on the low, I sensed a bit of tension and Garcelle did throw light shade towards her.  I feel like Kyle will try to befriend Sheree so she can turn them against each other. Btw, Kyle's expressions during that dinner scene with the two of them  The fakeness of her smiling.   I get serious racist on the down low vibes from her. 

 

Tbh, out of all the white women, the only two that I don't believe are racists are Erika and Sutton. Even if I dislike Erika with passion, I don't think she's racist. And you can tell Sutton has a genuine heart. Sure, she is out there and quirky, but I never feel like she does things with malicious intend. Can't say the same for the rest of the ladies.

True. 

 

Had any of the other ladies said it the audience would have held them accountable. Goddess Garcelle can do no wrong in their eyes...for now

This fight was mad stupid BUT they are fighting for a reason.

 

Diane's hurt about Sutton's constant need to one up in a conversation reducing herself to one upping her in miscarriages when normal people allow people to speak on their experience without the metoo and acknowledge their pain, ask them or provide support and then after letting them get it all the way out say I will be there for you because I suffered XYZ and I had a support system to get me through that pain.

 

The problem is Diane is an AWFUL communicator. Maybe she's nervous and half putting on a show. Poor Diane.

for Kyle to shrug it off like she's just letting loose was quite disgusting, considering Alcoholism runs within her blood. 

[JoeRobert]

Rewatching S8 of rhony and I hate that no one properly checked bethenny or Carole. The way they treated the other women that season was disgusting, it's a good season drama wise but just draining to rewatch...and frustrating to see how entitled those two are.

Nnn that's the season I started to dislike Carole, but then she won me over again with the Trump draggings later on

I’m starting to think RUGT2 was secretly an audition. if the rumours are true that Tamara is back on OC and now Dorrinda/Jill are doing legacy then maybe there’s hope for Brandi

[FAN]

I was screaming at Brandi basically re-enacting the “Don’t talk about my son ever” scene in Japan between Erika and Eileen

I definitely see Erika still being racist lol, especially after the other hosts from The Real said Erika was bragging about how people of "their skin color" were the only ones supporting / believing her. Sutton seems ignorant but not downright racist. We know Dorit "My mom's best friend is black" is, we know Kathy "N word using daughter, Paris and I don't see color" is, we know Kyle is now that Mauricio's mom has been exposed for being a pro-life Trump supporter and just from her general behavior, we know Rinna is from her recent IG post and her husband wearing a swastika shirt, and Diana definitely is from her recent IG activity.

she didnt need to have self control. none of the other housewives do. Brandi's only downfall was that she crossed Kyle, aka the silent producer of the show. if that weren't the case, they would have never let her go bc she was amazing TV

That’s kind of what I meant. Maybe self control wasn’t the right phrase but she did need to know when to hold back sometimes.

[FAN]

Was Brandi an official friend during the Denise drama or no? 

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

I just want RHOP back 

 

it’s nice to have a cast of people that actually hang out 

 

the problem with Atlanta is these girls really don’t see each other outside of the show. Like how haven’t you seen sheree since season 10

These new girls are waaaaay too online. They need to leave a little mystery to the show to keep people engaged. Fighting about WWHL is way too meta and looks fake

I agree but it does work in favor of on-show drama sometimes. It worked when Nene said Porsha should be fired on WWHL. and didn’t she talk crap about Cynthia or Kim in an earlier season and it was brought up onscreen? Then most recently I thought Sutton vs Rinna Elton John gate was WWHL-originating drama done well.

100%. You can see the difference in behavior of HWs who have their jobs (S1) vs ex-HWs  (S2). S1 to me was VERY dry. Seeing the UGT2 women using the show as a vehicle to win over Bravo execs and get back on their respective shows is exhilarating. I think Vicki/Tamra, Dorinda, and Phaedra are the most obvious shoe-ins for a comeback. 
 

Brandi getting back on BH won’t happen with how ironclad Kyle’s hold is on production. I don’t see her meshing well with the current cast either. They should give her her own spin-off if anything. Finding love type of show

We need Brandi and Kim back. Bring Kathy out full time as well. Kick Crystal and Lisa to the curb. Keep Kyle, Garcelle, Sutton, Erika and Dorit.

Doing RONY legacy without Bethany is like doing a BH one without LVP
