Caroline Brooks and Taleen Marie are just getting their feud started. It’s a case study in one housewife expecting loyalty from the friend that she got on the show. Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge spoke to that dynamic on a recent episode of her podcast, Two T’s In A Pod.
Caroline felt betrayed by Taleen, and made a comment about her being a beggar. It ignited a fight at Caroline Stanbury’s house that ended with a shouting match in the street.
But that was one confrontation over one one comment. What’s the root of the issue here?
Tamra is “team Taleen”
Tamra gave her opinion on the Real Housewives of Dubai drama during her podcast. Co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, agreed that the dynamic of getting a friend on the show leads to jealousy. Especially if that friend was embraced by viewers.
“If your friend desperately wants to be on the show that you’re on. And I’m pretty sure your friend will do anything to stay on that show,” Teddi said.
“Well, that happened to me” Tamra joked.
“Ultimately, what it sounds like is Brooks is insanely jealous of Taleen and hates the fact that she’s on the show. And on top of that, Taleen is thriving. I am team Taleen,” she stated.
Both agreed that the fight went on longer than expected, and production wasn’t planning to film outside of Stanbury’s house. But Brooks followed Taleen into the street and kept it going. The latter cast member was smoking at the time, and Teddi spoke about the uniqueness of that situation.
“You know filming is supposed to be over when they will actually show you smoking a cig on camera,” she stated.
Taleen got one final dig at her former friend before the fight ended. And Tamra replicated the moment on her podcast.
“You’re the beggar Brooks. You wore my clothes last season,” she said, gesturing as if she had a cigarette.
The cast trip to Bali should be interesting.
