The Real Housewives of Dubai is back with a new season full of glamour and luxury. The five cast members Lesa Milan, Chanel Ayan, Caroline Brooks, Sara Al Madani, and Caroline Stanbury, including the new addition Taleen Marie, return for the Bravo show.
Season 2 focuses on the personal lives and friendship dynamics between the co-stars, specifically Lesa Milan and Chanel Ayan who used to be best friends. While viewers are unaware of what changed between them, the upcoming episodes will soon reveal what really went down in their relationship.
The Real Housewives of Dubai star Lesa Milan shared in an interview with Out Magazine on June 10, 2024, that she didn't know how the feud between her and Chanel Ayan started. She didn't reveal many details of what happened between them but admitted that their friendship ended so quickly and unexpectedly. She said:

"Well, to be honest, I don’t really know where it began, but I’ll say it caught me by surprise. I had no idea the finale would end the way it did, but in the world of reality, it was epic. In reality for us, though, it was so sad and heartbreaking."

The Real Housewives of Dubai cast member Lesa Milan hinted at a potential friendship breakup between the two. She also teased that the main highlight of the new season will be her and Ayan's fallout.
Despite it being good content for reality television, the hurt caused to their friendship was upsetting for both of them. Lesa shared with Out Magazine how their friendship breakup affected them, she said:
"So you guys are gonna have to wait until towards the end, but it plays out a few episodes that lead to, like, the big bang. It’s very disappointing. It’s like a relationship breaking up in a way, but here we are more fabulous than ever."
The Real Housewives of Dubai star's ex-best friend has established a new friendship with Caroline Brooks. Lesa was left wondering whether the basis of their connection was real or not. Lesa admitted that Brooks was a "messy bone collector" but she wants to give her another chance. Milan explained:
"I still don't think it's real – how can I have a problem with something that's not real? I mean, I think everyone on social media can see right through it. I feel nothing because it's not real. I’m not saying that I trust her – I think she is working on herself. I cannot be mad at someone who wants to change for the better."
However, the two are unclear as to where they stand in their relationship. Lesa explained that they have not cut off from each other but there is definitely tension between them. Despite whatever happened, the Bravo stars still have respect and love for each other. It is yet to be seen if they will repair their bond and go back to being friends once again.
Back in BravoCon 2023, Lesa Milan expressed her love for her ex-best friend. She mentioned that she will always be rooting for her no matter how changed their dynamic is. Lesa said:
"I love Chanel Ayan; I’ll always love her. Just like most relationships, we’re going through something right now. But let’s see – time will tell if we’ll be back to being the dynamic duo."
Stream The Real Housewives of Dubai only on Bravo on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.
