The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion has just wrapped, bringing the cameras down on another wealthy, petty, AMAZING Real Housewives series. While a few of these ladies easily tied up their loose ends within this cast, others could not, as expected. During Part 2, aka the final episode, Ayan and Lesa finally face off, going head-to-head with meh-worthy receipts. As for Stanbury, she opens up about all things babies as Sara clocks in, doing her best to hold her buddy Brooks accountable. More often than not, the vibes grew heated as several voices clocked in, chirping louder than a flock of Hadada birds on the soundstage, causing Andy Cohen to sigh and regroup more times than I could ever hope to count. Catch what I mean now via this Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion, Part 2 recap.
And ladies, thank you for this ride. I enjoyed every second. Now, please return for a Season 3.
The blood/love fest continues on the RHODubai Season 2 Reunion, Part 2
Last week, Taleen and Brooks called each other a liar. Therefore, Andy now has to wade through this mess. He asks Brooks why she thinks Rafi inserted himself into his wife’s arguments, to which Brooks admits that Rafi probably should not have done this. “He was deescalating the situation,” Taleen interjects.
Taleen’s statement sets Lesa off as Brooks turns to Andy, equally ready to rumble. Brooks asks, “Andy, we’re going to debate whether a man should be yelling at me?” Brooks then begs to move on. Andy says yes.
When Brooks failed to arrive at the airport for a cast trip to Bali, everyone was worried. Watching their concern made Brooks feel loved, so that’s nice. She still does not feel mustard yellow shades, however. She then compares Lesa’s gifted Bali dress to stomach bile.
Lesa remains “mortified” for the designer. Ayan jumps in, causing Stanbury to reprimand her that the designer’s name is not Suck Dick. But Lesa points out that his name does sound like this when spoken. Andy has “nothing against” it, making both couches giggle.
Andy recalls Brooks’ appearance on Watch What Happens Live, where she revealed that if Taleen apologized, she would make amends. As Taleen apologized (for a few things), Andy wants an update. Brooks is good, but Taleen wants Brooks to take accountability for her “smear campaign” online. Brooks is back on red, and she and Taleen start going tit for tat on their grievances.
Andy notes that Brooks’ tweets are “pretty pointed.” Everyone agrees. Brooks owns it. She apologizes to Taleen. They break for lunch, but the cameras follow.
Taleen vents to Sara. Sara encourages her to talk to Brooks. Brooks complains to Lesa about Ayan, and Lesa agrees. But Ayan is also frustrated, feeling like Lesa is baiting her.
Brooks confronts Taleen in her green room, as Ayan, Lesa, Brooks, and Stanbury battle it out back on stage
Brooks follows Sara’s urging and pops into Taleen’s room for a chat. She is ready to move forward, but Taleen is still annoyed over Brooks’ online behaviors, which point towards cheating in Taleen’s marriage. “You’re the one who said you bring women into your home,” Brooks responds. But Taleen shuts her down, stressing she “never said that.”
Brooks still wants to move forward without rehashing all of their past arguments. Taleen, however, wants to talk about everything, so she calls Brooks a deflector as Brooks starts to exit her green room. “You barely apologized,” Taleen says, noting that she never begged Brooks for a spot on RHODubai, as Brooks claimed. “You wanted me on this show to bring Stanbury and everyone down,” Taleen adds, as Brooks once again calls bullsh*t on Taleen’s claims.
“B*tch,” Taleen quips, once alone in her green room. The ladies head back to the sound stage.
Andy quickly dives in, showing a hysterical compilation of how unathletic this cast is. Everyone laughs. But then their golf fight comes up. Brooks explains that Stanbury messaged her to complain about Lesa’s event, where Lesa branded everything with her Mina Roe logo.
Stanbury denies this. Footage supports her denials. Stanbury then calls out the group, slamming her co-stars for dissing each other’s wins. Lesa lets loose, clapping back at Stanbury for accusing her of stealing her designs in Season 1.
And then, Lesa pulls out a receipt, as Andy jokes, “Is this gonna land?” In Lesa’s hand is a journal, which Stanbury sells. “I didn’t say I wrote that. Your creams are from Alibaba,” Stanbury retorts, making me suck my breath in.
Ayan throws Brooks under the bus, saying Brooks found them at Alibaba. Brooks gets hot. That wasn’t her, she argues.
Stanbury talks about babies with Sergio, as Sara talks about her split from Akin
Stanbury has had a stressful year. Construction projects are taxing. Her man Sergio is now building “a small boutique hotel” in Bali, and for their haters, stand back, as these two are solid. Stanbury’s baby plans, however, are still not solid, but as surrogacy is now legal in Dubai, perhaps Season 3 will see Sara carrying her child, Stanbury jokes.
Sara and Akin are no more. He cheated on her. Sara knows this because she hired a detective, and now, I identify as Sara. I’m obsessed with how she played this player, who wouldn’t let Sara take on a podcast gig with a shirtless man, even though he’s out playing in the streets.
Sara is now single. And she and her son have moved past their horrific nanny incident.
Andy, however, has not moved on from Ayan’s dress. He gets back underneath her train, filming himself feeling all kinds of cozy within her excess folds of fabric.
Lesa and Ayan touch on their spirling friendship as their voice note storyline is clarified
A montage of Lesa and Ayan’s dying friendship airs next. It’s sad. Afterward, Rihanna gets dragged into the Real Housewives franchise, as Ayan and the singer are social media friends. Earlier this season, Lesa spoke Rihanna’s name during filming, asking Ayan to contact her newly pregnant A-list BFF to see if Rihanna would pose in Lesa’s clothing.
Lesa’s request annoyed Ayan, as she never got permission from Rihanna to speak about her on Bravo. This “day one” moment is when Ayan’s rift with Lesa began.
The voice note storyline comes up next. Ayan swears Lesa knew about the voice note narrative. Lesa says she didn’t. Andy clocks in, admitting, “The supervising producer said that Ayan told you before,” but Lesa cuts him off, answering, “YES! Right before the dinner,” and not earlier, as Ayan suggested.
“We were walking to the dinner. [Ayan] was freaking out. Stanbury’s going to play something. I didn’t know it was my voice note,” Lesa explains.
As for why she sent this voice note, Lesa “was just being messy with” her “best friend.” Ayan apologizes to Lesa for playing her voice note. Lesa apologies as well. Moving forward, no one should send Ayan a voice note, Ayan jokes.
Part 2 of the RHODubai Season 2 Reunion ends on a high, with receipts and meaningful gifts
Stanbury calls Lesa and Ayan’s friendship one-sided. “That’s not true. I’ve always been the number-one supporter of her [Ayan],” Lesa states. “You asked me to tone myself down so you can sit next to Andy Cohen,” Ayan quips.
Andy shakes his head. When he speaks, he calls Ayan and Lesa’s squabbles “surface BS.” He doesn’t understand their turmoil. “The whole bragging thing,” Lesa answers.
Unseen footage airs, showing Lesa talking about material gains with Stanbury. Once done, Lesa says, “When I called Stanbury, I said, ‘Why do you feel like I’m bragging?’ She [Stanbury] said, ‘I never said you were bragging, and the only person that has a problem with anything is your friend [Ayan].” Stanbury denies saying this, and Ayan believes her.
Lesa is struggling, as Ayan allegedly wished her dead. Ayan is shocked, asking, “When?” Lesa answers, “You said it to her [Brooks].” Brooks is not the best source, Taleen argues, but Lesa has a bomb to drop, as she had Brooks call Ayan on speakerphone to prove her comments.
Taleen shames Brooks for setting up a denying Ayan. Lesa exits, crying. When she returns, shockingly, as only the ladies in Dubai can, she and Ayan agree to leave the door open.
The ladies hand each other gifts. Taleen offers Brooks back an item of borrowed clothing, with printed text receipts, while Lesa gifts Stanbury a VIP membership to her fan club. The RHODubai Season 2 Reunion ends on a petty high, as always.
I love it here.
