After an explosive season finale for Real Housewives of Dubai, it’s clear why Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan aren’t as close as they used to be. Certainly, Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge seem to think so.
It comes on the heels of the Mina Roe founder feeling betrayed after Chanel shared the details of a voice message from Sara Al Madani that Lesa sent her.
Perhaps Lesa was feeling challenged by the growing friendship between the professional model and Caroline Stanbury. The rest of the RHODubai cast seems to think that theory has merit. But after Lesa repeatedly called Chanel a liar for an entire party of guests to hear, it makes sense why the duo are not as good friends as they once were. Perhaps the most urgent question is whether they were that close in the first place.
Tamra Judge thinks that slick editing is trying to “reinforce something” false
“We are supposed to believe that there is a closeness between Chanel and Lesa that I’ve never felt,” Teddi reacted during a recent episode of her Two Ts In A Pod podcast.
“Me either. That’s why I thought I was going crazy. I’m like, ‘Am I missing something?’ Because I never thought that they were never that close,” Tamra said.
Teddi then referred to “all these flashbacks” as examples of Lesa directing the narrative between Chanel and other cast members.
“They started doing all these flashbacks of all the times that Lesa has essentially, I don’t know the word, but she has told Chanel what to do,” the RHOBH alum said.
Tamra suggested the included flashbacks were intentional. Perhaps producers are trying to change the public perception of Lesa and Chanel’s friendship.
She explained, “They try to change your mind or try to reinforce something that probably might even not be true.”
There’s an obvious closeness between Lesa and Chanel’s husband, Chris Pillott, which is perhaps more telling about the relationship between the ladies than their demeanor together this season.
