The longstanding friendship between Taleen Marie and Caroline Brooks came to a halt in episode 7 of The Real Housewives of Dubai season 2, which was released on July 16. Everything started when Stanbury made fun of Taleen for being drunk at the Beyoncé concert and Brooks didn't approve of it. This caused more trouble as Taleen thought Brooks wasn't taking things lightly.
Later in episode 7, Brooks claimed that Taleen "begged" her to be on The Real Housewives of Dubai. This is why the two fought. Taleen's husband, Rafi, intervened to defend his wife and dissolve the commotion. This led to animosity between Brooks and Rafi too; which resulted in her accusing him of being racist.
In a recent turn of events, on August 23, Taleen took to X to call out Brooks for making such remarks. After this, Brooks responded to Rafi and Taleen by writing:
"It's quite the irony that after your husband's history of bullying minority groups online, you're now trying to bully me".

In the August 23 post where Brooks accused Taleen's husband of having a history of racism, she also added that she had the proof to back it up. She continued the post by saying:
"I'm also disappointed to see you making baseless accusations to defame me, especially after all I've done to support you and help you achieve your dreams. Any action you wish to take, please proceed".
In her X post, Brooks referred to the "action" Taleen warned of taking on her. Uploaded earlier the same day, Taleen had publicly clapped back at Brooks for accusing her husband of racism. In her post, she wrote:
"I just woke up to absurd accusations. When will @caroline_dubai keep my name out of her mouth? You would think she would be tired of it at this point. Me and my family are not racist. We would never stand for that. Stop reaching".
Taleen then urged Brooks to stop making "baseless accusations" and defaming her. She asked her to pay attention to her business and get off of the X platform and warned her that she would take action. She added that nothing good "ever" came out of her and that it was "pathetic."
What went down between Caroline Brooks and Taleen Marie on episode 7 of The Real Housewives of Dubai?
Episode 7 of The Real Housewives of Dubai started with Taleen trying to set things straight with Brooks and mend their friendship at Chanel Ayan's fashion show. However, Brook's short answers made Taleen take a backseat. She then found out that Brook called her a "beggar," which put her off even further.
Towards the end of the episode, the two had a confrontation which didn't end well. Brooks accused Taleen of slurring her words because she was so drunk, while the latter shaded her asking where her husband was. Brooks asked Rafi to not intervene in the matters of women, while Rafi asked her to keep her mouth shut.
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Dubai season 2 come out on Tuesdays, at 9 pm ET, on Bravo.
