- The weather in Dubai is inferno hot.
- My feet is on fire.
- Dubai is hot, but I come in hotter.
Say how you feel to somebody's face.
- I feel like you're pot stirring.
- Your brands from head-to-toe but zero class.
- Oh, shut up, Sara. - You shut up!
- Shut up. - You shut up.
- This is like "Squid Games" over here.
- This season, on "The Real Housewives of Dubai..."
- Assalamu alaikum.
- Wa alaikum salaam.
- Where is the hole, and where is my holes?
[cheering]
- Bali, baby.
- You're not in the desert anymore, girls.
- Oh, wow.
- This is the embryo.
- It's all about pleasing Sergio.
That's what really upsets me.
- So, is it a deal breaker, or not?
- I-I want a baby.
- He is so hot.
Sara... [chuckling]
That's not like halal.
- Who needs a shot?
- Whoo-ha!
- Taleen is the free-spirit.
- You were talking to it like it was her face.
- I'm glad I waxed that day.
- No, it's like this, Caroline. - Oh.
- You're British. You should know this.
- Ayan getting closer to Caroline.
- Oh, my tits.
- Lesa, somebody stole your best friend, babe.
- Ayan's jumping on this bandwagon.
The only wagons I ride are G.
- She's the one who has been causing the sh-- with everyone.
- Tell your wife to watch her mouth.
- Hey, are you challenging my husband?
- Is your husband challenging me?
- A snake will always change their skin,
but they'll always be a snake.
- I feel the same about you, darling.
- Okay, okay. - You're trying to come in between me
and Stanbury now. - What?
- That's what you're doing.
My friendship is with you is over.
- This show is not worth this for me.
- This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
- That broke the camel's back.
- And there's a lot of camels in Dubai.
[camel grunting]
- The only thing old about me, darling,
is my money.
- In the land of excess,
I find my riches within.
- Take it from me, if you know how to stay chill,
you'll never get burned.
- I may be building glass houses,
but you'll never see me crack.
- The desert might be hot,
but I always find the shade.
- If you're jealous of me, that's okay, honey,
I would be, too.
**
- Knock-knock, Taj.
- Imagine you're driving a car, and you see a dinosaur.
[laughing] - A dinosaur stops you
to give you a lift. What does it say?
- Rrrride.
You know, like, "rah-rah-rah."
* Taking over so roll up *
* bigger than me you're not bigger than me *
* yeah yeah yeah bigger on the streets *
* but I'm bigger on the scene yeah *
- Oh, my God. Baby, how do I look?
I look like I have a wedgie.
- Yeah, you do actually have a wedgie.
- Okay. - Mom, [indistinct]. Ha!
- What am I doing?
* Yeah top girls yeah we do the money dance *
* but not for you not the boys not a chance *
- Let me see this tooth.
Wow! And there's new ones coming through here, as well.
- You're the cutest kid with a missing tooth.
Look at him doing The Rock.
[laughing]
* Take off like a shooting star higher *
* watch close 'cause I'm building my empire *
- Kylie, let me sage you.
- I'll do it to you. - Okay.
Oh, not the ashes, not in my wig.
Oh, my God! - Oh. No, it didn't.
**
- Oh, let's do a TikTok, honey.
- So ridiculous-- I'm too old for this.
- Oh!
Okay, I'm done with this game.
**
- Ayan!
Hey, honey.
Girl, you know it's too hot for gloves.
- Oh, you mean I'm hot? Thank you.
[laughing] - Hi, babe.
- Oh, come here.
- You're not gonna need the gloves.
You're not gonna need the jacket.
You're not gonna need the bag.
- No gloves? - No gloves.
You need to stretch. - What do you mean? Stretch?
- So, just go like this.
No, Ayan. No, Ayan.
- Oh. - Hold your--
- Like this?
- Yes, yes, yes. - Okay.
Me and Lesa are so close.
It's like, how God and Jesus are close.
We call each other every single day.
Sometimes we talk about what did you eat for breakfast.
Did you poo today?
But Lesa has this new hobby, padel.
I know nothing about padel.
It's amazing how you love this activity.
- It's so good.
Padel is not big in the U.S., but it's huge in Dubai.
It's a little bit like tennis, but better.
This is where we burn some calories.
I get to dress cute-- gossip with my girls.
We drink matcha,
even though we really ----in' hate that sh--.
I'm actually really proud that you showed up.
- I don't want you to be playing with other people
without me. So...
- Ayan, I'm allowed to have friends outside of you.
- No.
- Ayan does not play sports, at all.
She does not even know the difference between
a basketball and a football.
- I grew up in Africa.
We have so many different sports.
We run. We chase the animals.
We climb the trees to get food.
So, I'm ready. - Yeah, yeah.
- I learned on the internet only thing you have to do,
is go-- jump like this, and jump like that.
- No.
She only wants to show up for padel
because I have my little padel friends,
and she does not want share me. The end.
Hi, guys.
- Hi. - Hello.
- This is my friend, Ayan. - I'm Jesper. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- She's never played padel before.
- I don't exercise.
- So, take it easy on her.
- All right, let's have fun.
- We're gonna win. - Of course.
- Oh, God...
- Look at the ball and then--
it's enough to one, uh, one hand.
- Oh, okay, okay.
- Ready? - Yes.
- Up, like this.
- Oh! [bell dings]
- Okay, go, go, go, go.
[laughing] - It makes your heart beat very fast.
- It's called cardio.
- Ahh.
I gotta get this one. Oh!
Kick it. Kick it back. Okay, let's go.
- Nice. - Hallelujah!
- It's still on. It's still on.
- It's still going. - Oh, oh, oh, that's mine.
Oh! (BLEEP). - Ooh.
- That was a good round.
[buzzer sounds] - I hit it.
- I'm proud of you.
- It was such an easy game.
All you had to do, is chase the ball
and hit it there, and then you go back here.
[rewinding]
[audio slowed down] Did you see that? Yeah!
- All right, thank you, coach.
I'm gonna go get us some smoothies,
and I'll be right back. Yeah. - Yes.
But I think I've had enough games in my life.
This one, I'll leave it for rich people
to have fun 'cause they are bored.
Why be basic... when we can be this fantastic?
Thank you, honey. Oh, thank you.
- Ayan, you don't need gloves.
I'm not talking to you with gloves on.
- Actually, it's very hot. [laughing]
First of all, I'm very happy.
I want to tell you thank you for inviting me.
I can see why you love it.
- I'm in this really positive place,
and I just want to have fun now.
The weather is about to get good.
I'm thinking girls brunch. - Yes.
- Do you like it? Ooh! - I love it. I love brunch.
- Because, girl,
you know, the last time we were together was at Beyonce.
- Yeah, we were in the V.V.V.I.P.
- Last month, there was a big open
of Atlantis The Royal.
So, Beyonce came in town,
so it was a whole weekend extravaganza,
but the big finale was the actual concert.
Money could not buy you this ticket.
Only a selected few people got invited.
[clears throat] Ahem. Me.
Thank God we got upgraded.
- They were so jealous
because we were in the V.V.I.P., honey.
- We weren't in VIP.
We were in V.V.I.P. where you couldn't get in.
- Period.
Me and Lesa, between partying with Jay Z,
I was partying with Kendall.
Beyonce's mom was there.
None of the other ladies were in the VIP
except me and Lesa.
- Just 'cause you're, like, in the nosebleed section
with Kendall Jenner doesn't mean
you had the best tickets in the house, honey.
I was so close to Beyonce that, as the wind blew,
I could smell her freaking conditioner.
You couldn't get closer than me.
- I got wet from Beyonce.
She danced here,
whilst I had water coming over my face.
The VVIPs were another block away.
I sat on the stage.
- No, never.
- Oh, that's nice. - I'm looking forward to it
because I feel like we've moved on.
She calls me sometimes. I call her sometimes.
We check up on each other. But I have to see her,
because I feel like we have things to talk about.
- Yeah. No, I think that's good.
- Me and Stanbury's relationship
is like how Dubai was, the desert,
but, for me, right now,
I have this thing where I wanna water the desert
and see what's gonna grow.
I don't know what's gonna come out of my garden
with Stanbury.
Maybe it's an apple, or maybe it's a snake.
Who the (BLEEP) knows?
- Definitely meet up with her and then tell me everything.
[laughing] - Yeah, to the details.
**
- Are you excited for this, honey?
Honey?
You listening or no, honey?
- Hang on one second, please. [sighs]
- Listen, I always tell you I feel your presence,
but I don't feel your energy.
- Sergio, there isn't a couple on the planet
that spends more time together than we do, not one.
- Oh, (BLEEP).
- Sergio and I have now been married a full year.
[cheers and applause]
What is life like?
Well, it's like every marriage.
Uh, sex is getting less, so that's good.
[laughing]
I would like you just to concentrate on the road
instead of, like, both eyes on me.
He's still as clingy as ever, which I'm trying to
cut the umbilical cord, but, you know,
it's a-a slow process.
I just really am ready to get into the house,
at this point. I'm over living in boxes.
I have no clothes.
- We have to move into our own house.
- Yeah. - Hopefully, a week, no?
- Last year, we started building our new home
from the ground up.
That's your front door there,
and then this is your main staircase.
And we're still building.
That has put a strain on our marriage because
we had to move out of our apartment,
and so we moved in with my best friend, Michael.
It was meant to be for two weeks.
We're now 12 weeks in.
You've lost your mind.
[sighs] [mumbling in Spanish]
And Michael has very politely asked
if we didn't do sex gymnastics. Sergio is dying.
- Oh, God, por favor. [laughing]
- I'm so excited. - I know.
Oh, my God, look at it. Look at it there.
- I never thought I could get so excited by washing machines.
Oh, my God.
- Ugh.
Okay, so it's still missing the marble on the floor.
- Yeah. What are we doing here?
- Oh, we've got the chandeliers, but I want to put them in last
'cause they're so expensive. - Uh-huh.
- And I worry with all these workers.
Building a house in Dubai is very, very stressful.
Getting a mortgage is like winning the lottery here.
Should we go upstairs? - Mm-hmm. Yes.
- Because I'm 46, you know,
I had to do a full body health check.
Had an EKG.
Run on a treadmill for, like, 30 minutes
just to make sure I wasn't gonna drop dead.
- We're gonna have to think, honey,
how we're gonna clean all this. - Well, it won't be us.
I mean, seriously, it's crazy here.
It's not like any other country in the world.
Yasmine's room. - Yeah, Yasmine's room.
Oh, my God, this is amazing.
- Guest room-- this is maybe your baby room.
I know.
- I don't know how we can call it.
- Oh, yeah, it looks so pretty.
Sergio's ovaries are on fire.
Every time he sees a baby, he wants a baby.
So, last year, we went through IVF,
and I currently have one baby boy embryo on ice
where he can stay for the foreseeable future.
- Baby will sleep by my side. - No.
- No, the baby has to be with us, honey.
- No, I'd like to have some furniture,
and I'd like to have my kitchen in.
- Yeah.
- As I don't wanna think about a baby, right now.
- Oh, honey.
- Take a ballerina?
- What's that?
- Okay? [sighs]
- Coming up...
- We need to stop taking other women down.
- Oh, really? - I'm good.
- Don't pretend to be this kind, caring, loving human being.
- I don't pretend. - You are not a good person.
Maybe you should check your soul.
* Best they all know that I'm the best *
* I don't even got to flex *
* I be cutting all these checks check checks checks *
* checks checks checks *
- Do you like your blow-dry? - Amazing.
- Hey, girl! - Hi. I'm Caroline.
- Hi. Hi. - Nice to meet you.
Oh, wow.
[laughing]
Are you do-- what are you doing? Twists?
- How you doin'? Yes, twist out.
- Yes. The Glass House has been open for three months,
and business is booming.
We had the most fabulous red carpet event
for the grand opening.
I mean, the who's who of Dubai was at the grand opening
of The Glass House-- Caroline Stanbury,
Sara Al Madani.
- I invited the people who are most important to me.
[laughing]
- At 4:00, you have a meeting with Lucy.
- Okay.
So much went into building The Glass House.
Just last year, there was no fit out.
There was nothing there.
This I can finish in six months.
- Money.
If you pay the cost to be the boss,
you can get anything done. Welcome to Dubai.
- Hi. - Hi.
- And luckily, the contractor is my ex-husband.
He built this place from the ground up.
- Zoran, we've been open for a few months,
and the toilet is already falling to the floor.
- The toilet is broken.
So, how did it already come apart, Zoran,
after four months?
- Last year, I wouldn't have even allowed Zoran
to come through the gate of my house to pick up his child.
Anger, you know, you took it out on everyone around you,
including me. - And my apologies, really.
- But working with him, it's creating
more of a family unit. This is embarrassing.
So, people sit on the toilet.
They feel like their ass is gonna hit the floor.
We're a work in progress.
Is there anything else that Zoran needs to repair?
- I don't do maintenance.
- So, who is gonna fix the light bulbs?
- I will send the people, electrician.
- Then do it.
- Wait, wait, wait. Where you go?
Don't sit on that toilet.
You know, that's why it's broken.
- I can't. Ugh! Get him out of my salon.
**
- Take your right index and middle finger
like you're pressing a button.
Breathing in from the stars and the center of the earth,
pull this energy now up, up, up into the third eye chakra.
Visualizing beautiful, dark blue light.
That's why we call it light force center, baby.
Whoo, mama. Oh, yeah.
So, how is your heart? How is your mind?
It's been what, like, a couple weeks
since our last healing session? - Yeah.
I see a lot of changes.
I'm calmer toward so many things.
Spiritual healing-- I've been doing it
for five months now. I've seen a huge difference.
It goes deep into your traumas and fixes it on the spot
while you're doing it.
In Islam, it's very common because we use
words of affirmation, gratitude, speaking positively.
It's such a beautiful way of healing.
The only area I have my reservation,
is when it comes to relationship.
I wanna settle down and have a family,
but I had two bad marriages.
So, I'm just worried because I have a kid.
- So, we have to clear the exes, the bad traumas.
- The last ex, right?
- All of them. - All of them.
[laughing]
- All my exes. - Yeah.
- I'm in a period of my life where I'm ready to move on
and to meet the love of my life and to start a family,
but I'm scared about falling in love
and getting hurt with the wrong man again.
I'm scared there is a problem with me.
- All right. - We'll start with red one.
- That's the first man. Okay. - Okay.
- Yeah, try to think of the biggest trauma.
- Abuse-- he used to hit me.
- I felt, on the scale of zero to ten,
ten being the worst.
- Ten. - Wow.
Moving on to red two.
- Second man, he cheated on me.
- The time when he cheated on me, I felt...?
- Out of a ten. [sighs]
- Ten. [sighs]
I really don't want my son to go through
a negative relationship again with me because
he witnessed everything.
He witnessed verbal and physical abuse
towards his mother.
- People have been bad to you. - What if we find a good man?
I just want you to be open.
My son craves having a father figure in his life,
but this time around, it has to be the right man.
I cannot afford mistakes.
- So, now, we're gonna get into the healing.
It's time to open up your heart, sister.
I want to cut.
Ahh! Cut those cords.
[screaming]
Let go.
[screaming]
Good job. Good job.
- Oh, my God.
[bell dinging]
- Congratulations, sister.
Were you able to cut those cords?
- Yes.
Oh, my God. - Whoo!
[sighs] - Oh, my God.
- You did it. - I feel nothing but light.
I feel good.
And moving on, that's where you regain your power.
- That's what I'm talking about.
Woop-woop.
- Coming up next...
- I have to make you laugh.
I always thought my mom was 65 years old.
It's not. They said she was 80.
So, I might be older than you, honey.
- That would make me so happy.
- I know. [laughing]
**
- Let's go. We're late.
Coach is here.
Can you walk?
- Yeah. - Oh, good.
Hi, coach.
- Hey, Lesa, how are you? - How are you?
Good. It's warm today.
- Yes. - Good helping.
Thank you, Kristian.
- I'll carry this one.
- You wanna carry it?
Okay, here.
- Close to your teammate. Make a pass back.
Pass to me.
- Soccer is huge in our house.
This year, Max and Sebastian were accepted
into Manchester City Academy,
which is a big deal.
- Boom, you run backward.
- And then because their dad is such a stage dad,
it requires also private training.
That makes my schedule ten times busier.
- Go. Make a pass back.
Got it.
- But I believe, if you support them,
at least one of them will make it to the big leagues,
and that's our retirement plan.
[laughing]
Faster, Max.
- Steady. Got to be first, yes.
[phone ringing]
Come, come, come,
faster, faster. - Hi.
Can you see me? - Yes.
- Max, soft pass to Sebi.
- How is your day going?
- My day is good.
Where are we with the site?
Did you see what I was showing you
to add the product names in black?
I love that. - Yes, yes.
- I think it looks really good.
I'm really excited about everything
that's happening with Mina Roe.
Since last year, we have a whole new team.
We're rebranding.
It's going more editorial,
and we're adding some new products.
When you hit "shop," can we get the categories,
so people don't have to search so much
to get to what they want?
- Inside to outside.
- Our goal is to compete with the very best
of nonmaternity fashion.
So, I don't want people to look at Mino Roe and be like,
"Oh, yeah, it looks good for maternity wear."
It looks good, period.
We cannot have any more delays.
No, because when we go live, we go live.
My haters are gonna have a front row seat
to all the success that's coming.
- Lesa, Sergio also came for you on Twitter.
- Yes. - Posting that his friend
funded your eight-figure business.
- Yes.
No one has ever funded my business.
No, this black girl-- - You steal designs.
- What?
You are the Wicked Witch of the Middle East.
Caroline came after my business.
She came after my character.
She really did hurt me.
But deep down, I don't think she's a witch.
I just think sometimes she's a bitch.
[laughing]
Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Make a pass.
- Can you go do a lap? Go do a lap.
On your mark, set, go!
Well done, yes!
- Good shot.
* [indistinct] *
* I'm a queen I'm a savvy savvy savvy *

* Oh you ain't seen another girl like me *
- Hello.
How are you, my love? You okay?
- Very good.
- It's such a beautiful place. - Isn't it?
- Good afternoon. Hi, ladies. How are you?
- Hi, good afternoon. How are you?
I think today is a celebration,
so I would like to order champagne.
- Champagne. - Two.
- So, we'll get two champagnes.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Perfect.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- How are you?
- Good. You look gorgeous.
- You, too.
I brought you a gift.
- Okay, what is the meaning for this one?
- Clearly, it, like, represents who I am,
right? - Right.
- I might look like I'm a thorn,
but there's so much sweetness, and juiciness,
and deliciousness in it, just like you.
- As long as it's not breathing, I'm good with it.
Chanel and I had a terrible year.
Our relationship was contentious at the best of times.
- Cleanse the energy, ladies.
- Nothing is gonna cleanse this energy.
I can't bear this woman.
- I'm actually way more successful than you.
- Chanel, you have to shut up.
We've both just parked it, said let's just start afresh.
So, when she says I'm prickly but sweet on the inside,
that is the biggest compliment she's ever paid me.
I will take it.
Did you enjoy Beyonce?
- Oh, my God, yes. - Me, too.
- Beyonce was, like, literally next to me.
I partied with her mom.
- Beyonce's mom?
- I was looking for you guys. I was like I don't see them.
[laughing] - You win.
- I win on Beyonce, honey. - You win.
okay. - I-- yeah, I win.
- So, may I take your order?
- Do you like salmon? - I love everything, you order.
- Just bring us a bit of, like, rolls,
California roll. - Yes.
- So, and the spicy tuna. - Yeah.
How have you been? - Yeah, I'm okay.
Just, like, Taj is back to school.
How is Yasmine?
'Cause Taj is going to college, I'm sure Yasmine
is going to college, too. - Yeah.
I'm going on an American tour now.
- We just did that in the summer when we were in America.
We went to see Stanford, Harvard, Princeton.
- Which one did you like the best?
- I loved Princeton the most.
Which university are you guys going to see?
- Yasmine wants, uh, UCLA, Wa-Washington.
The trouble with our kids, they're so used to living here.
- In Dubai. - Yes.
- Here, they can go, party, do whatever,
and then come back. - They can go at night.
- Yeah. - They don't have to worry.
They can get cabs by themselves.
- No, no, no.
- Like, you can't do that in America.
- Yeah, that's my worry of Taj.
In Dubai, you can just let your children run around.
You feel safe.
So, even thinking about Taj going to America,
I'm, like, super paranoid.
You're going to University soon in America
where me and dad won't be there all the time, you know.
- That's the point, no?
- I wanna buy a chip to put in Taj's body.
I'm in a mental state, right now,
where I wanna be happy.
I've been sad a lot, lately.
I'm not gonna lie. - Why?
- Like, I've been really, really angry.
- You're hanging out with Beyonce.
What's to be upset about? I mean, you don't get--
- What is there to be upset about?
- Yeah. - I don't know.
It's just that, you know, like, since I opened up
my FGM story,
I actually got attacked so much
by my own people. - Really?
- Yeah, it was so bad.
- Why? - Because I come from
a culture that nobody talks about it.
Me opening up my story wasn't something
I was ever gonna talk about.
I've never even told my closest friends.
But last year, Sara actually encouraged me to open up.
"This will help you. I will help you."
I'm here because of her. She recommended this.
- Right. - I'm so proud of her.
- So, how would you describe your life,
say, from five to 12?
- At five years old, my aunt and my grandma
came to pick us up,
and they just tied us on the bed,
and we were circumcised.
Then the person I opened up to
went to the media and told them
I'm playing victim with my story.
She was literally attacking me just as much
as everybody else.
I was literally in shock.
I was angry from it. I was sad from it.
Why make me open up to you and do this to me?
It made me go back into a cocoon.
Like, shut the (BLEEP) up.
Don't talk about it. Don't say anything about it.
So, I wanna do good,
but I just don't know how to do it
without talking about it. - I would go the absolute--
the opposite way.
I would go loud.
- I don't know, man, when that story came,
I was locking myself in the room and crying hours.
- I'm shocked someone like Sara made such a faux pas
because I think that would be extremely obvious
to anybody that that is not appropriate
for that scenario.
I absolutely think it's not right what happened.
- Yeah.
- I'll leave this here.
- Can we get another glass of champagne?
- Sure. - By the way,
I have to make you laugh.
So, I went to Africa to see my mom.
- Yes.
- I always thought my mom was 65 years old.
It's not.
They did something with that. They said she was 80.
So, I might be older than you, honey.
- That would make me so happy
and absolutely hilarious. - I know.
- So how do we check?
There must be a way to tell.
- Yeah. - Like, dogs,
you look at your canines.
DNA test? Blood?
- I think, no, do it with the teeth, I think.
They check from the teeth to tell her.
- I mean, I'm gonna drag into some hospital
and hold you down. - Oh, yeah, please.
- Last year, Chanel dined out on my age.
- She's 50. I'm still a child.
Maybe this is a new millennial thing.
No, she's not millennial. She's old.
- If I Ayan is older than me,
I mean, how ironic.
If I could rip out one of her teeth now,
at this brunch, I would.
- I think I could be 50. - You're not 50.
- 'Cause Black don't crack, so we'll see.
- Well, you look good, to be fair.
- Our friend group, everybody is really hot.
I'm the hottest.
[laughing]
I'm actually having a lot of fun.
Are you having fun?
- Yes, this is me having fun.
[laughing]
- Coming up next...
- You got to know Stanbury a little bit at Atlantis.
She was watching you like a hawk, for some reason.
She said that you fell over.
- And?
* my heart *
**
- Hi. How are you? - Good.
- I'm gonna just have a look at the menu.
I'm waiting for a friend.
- Hello. Hello. - Hello.
How are you? You look amazing.
I wanna get something healthy, and this golden immune fix
looks like it's right up in my alley.
- Okay, I'm not gonna go the healthy route.
I'm gonna go the caffeine route.
- Oh, I love it. - So, let me do, um,
iced latte.
- Thank you so much.
Taleen is one of my closest girlfriend in Dubai.
I've known her for almost a decade.
We are crazy.
[laughing]
But the best form of crazy.
- This is super cute. - It is cute.
- It gives me, like, New York vibes.
- What part of New York is this?
- Brooklyn.
I like it.
- How is Raffi? I miss him so much.
- He knew I was coming here. - Yeah.
- Literally, find an opportunity to play golf.
I mean, at this rate, he better be on the PGA
with how much he's playing.
After living in L.A. for about nine years,
moving to Dubai was rough
because all I knew was my husband.
I didn't have any friends here.
I didn't have any family here.
Nine years ago, there were a lot less Americans in Dubai.
And Caroline, she was the first friend that I met.
I just saw an American flag on her face.
I was like hallelujah.
- I need some Raffi cooking. - I know. I know.
- I need some, like, tomahawk steaks.
- Yes. - And, like,
what does he call that? Cherry chewy sauce?
- Chimichurri.
You call her at 2:00 in the morning,
and you're, like, sh-- faced on the side of the road,
and you need a ride home.
Caroline is the one that you will call,
and she will pick up.
She might talk to you for two hours on the phone,
but maybe you need that, at that moment.
You know what I mean?
- So, tomorrow, Lesa invited all of the girls to come
to, like, a pool day. - Yeah.
- Do you wanna come? - Yeah.
- Yeah, you got-- you got to know Stanbury a little bit
at Atlantis The Royal. - Yeah, I did.
- She was there, like, watching you like a hawk
and then proceeded to call me the next morning.
- What did she say?
- She said that you fell over and, like...
[laughing] - Okay, and?
- And she was-- Exactly.
And? - And?
- I literally scooped you up with one hand
and handed you a drink to continue.
- As you do. - That's what we do.
So, she was really-- - I don't like that.
I don't like that she said that.
- No. She was like, "Oh, is that how she has fun?"
Yeah, that is how she has fun.
- Wow.
- Caroline and I have developed this amazing friendship
over the past year.
She's one of my closest friends in Dubai now.
But when she came after Taleen,
it really rubbed me the wrong way,
and I'm gonna have Taleen's back no matter what.
Is it happy hour?
I need one of those nights. - Girl, yeah.
**
- Such a beautiful day. - The weather is good.
- The weather is finally perfect.
- We look good.
Lesa, you didn't say it was gonna be on the beach-beach.
Ooh!
What the hell? - Oh! Oh, my God!
Next time, wedges. - Oh, my God!
- Oh!
Thank God you got a Brazilian.
[laughing]
- Oh, wow. - Oh, thank you.
Should we start with the champagne?
- Right now, yes.
- Yes, we'll start with the champagne
and lobster, oyster. - Yes.
- All right. Thank you so much.
- Enjoy. - Yes.
- It's good because it's a bit tall.
I cannot see some of their faces.
I can just go down if I don't wanna look at them.
- I'm looking forward to seeing some more than others.
- Yeah, so...
**
- Thank you, my darling.
- So, I went to lunch with Caroline Stanbury.
I brought a gift. - What did you bring her?
- Pineapple.
It's, like, you know, this hard exterior.
- Okay. - But inside,
it's, like, sweet, juicy, gorgeous.
- But you never know what you get with a pineapple.
Sometimes it's sour. - Ooh.
- Anything you need, I'm here, honey, okay?
- I'm just going to the beach, not war.
- It can be war, honey. It can be war.
- Ugh.
- Keep your friends and your enemies closer.
Ooh. - Ooh, opa! Hey!
- Oh, hi.
- Oh, my God, this is so pretty.
I love it. - Oh, thank you.
- My dress is ridiculous. Sorry, Caroline.
- Wait until you see what she's wearing.
- Oh, my God.
I mean, they don't get any higher than that.
I would be on my hands and knees.
- I heard you guys had a nice lunch.
- Yes.
- We had the best time, actually.
- Don't steal my best friend.
[laughing]
- I actually believe you guys have so much things in common.
- You always say that.
- We both have a shopping habit,
and we both like Birkins.
- True.
I feel we got off on the wrong foot.
Maybe I misjudged you.
I mean, time will tell if it was a misjudge.
- Coming up next...
- How the (BLEEP) do I use my story to be a victim, Sara?
- I never said you're playing victim.
- Yeah, you did.
- I gave you my shoulder to cry on.
- Yeah, before you put a knife on my back.
- I feel we got off on the wrong foot.
Maybe I misjudged you.
I mean, time will tell if it was a misjudge
But... - See, that's the bit.
You have to stop doing that. - I know.
I knew you were gonna say-- - You always follow a compliment
and then take it back. - No.
- Last year, Lesa and I did some awful things to each other.
- Focus on being in Jeffrey Epstein's notebook.
- You-- you're a former escort in Miami.
- You're disgusting. I wish I could-- let me tell you.
If I was an escort, girl, I would have been a rich bitch.
- But Ayan has always said that I would get on
the best with Lesa, which I'm not sure,
but let's see.
I think both of us are ready to try.
Here's to new beginnings.
Please, God. [laughing]
- Please, God. - Mm-hmm.
- All right, we're here. - Let's have fun.
- Nobody look at my cootch.
- Let's go, donut.
Let's hope there's a pool somewhere for you, Sara.
- I've got your whole breast.
- My breasts are always out.
- Wow, wow, wow, what a cute place.
- You all look so good. Hi.
Thank you for coming.
You look so cute. - How are you?
- Good. Hi, Taleen. Love the color.
- I swear to God. Can you turn around?
Yes, Taleen.
I am never sitting next to you without Visine.
Move away from me, girl.
- What are we drinking, guys?
- I'll take a spicy marg.
- I think I'm gonna do a spicy margarita, too, please.
- Paloma, please. Thank you.
So, ladies, I brought us all together today.
It's winter, Dubai winter.
[laughing]
I just wanna have fun.
Keep the shade at baby.
- Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
- How is Sergio? How is Sergio?
- Uh, he's good. He's gone to a meeting.
He dropped me off.
- It's hard to find a good man.
- Are you picky? - No.
I just want a guy who is kind, empathetic,
and I'm spiritual...
- And not a narcissist.
I attract narcs.
- Caroline, you have a little smudge-a-rooski.
- Uh, the smooshki? - It's a smudge.
- Just a little bit drunk.
- There you go.
- Did she consume a bottle of tequila before she got here?
- So, you guys met in the states,
or you guys met in Dubai? - We met here.
- Oh, in Dubai. - Yeah.
She was my first friend here.
- What's your background? - I'm Armenian.
- Okay.
- But born and raised in the states, Virginia.
I moved to L.A. when I was 17.
I wrote music. - Yeah.
- I was signed with Jamie Foxx.
Went on tour with Christina Aguilera.
- No way. - And I opened up for Sting.
Sorry, I'm-I'm dropping names.
I hate that.
I always thought I would be in California
for the rest of my life.
* How did we get here *
* You know it's hard for me *
But when I met the love of my life, my husband,
Raffi, I kinda had to choose.
Do I wanna pursue music or love,
and move all the way across the globe?
That's what I did, and it was totally worth it.
- Guys, let's talk about Beyonce.
We were in the VVIP area.
[laughing] Did not see you hos there.
- In all fairness, we had the same tickets.
Like, we were gonna be exactly there.
- No, I wasn't. - Yes, you were.
- No, I wasn't. - Shut up.
- Stop-stop lowering my standards.
[laughing]
- Taleen faceplanted. - What's faceplanted mean?
- All I saw, was an ass and G-string.
I think Sergio saw vagina.
- It was a great time.
- Sergio saw your vagina. He loved it.
- What? - Oh, great!
I'm glad I waxed that way. I love it.
- Her fall was not that serious.
She fell, like a little topple.
- She wasn't that bitch. - It wasn't a topple.
It was a faceplant.
- Well, that means you had a good time.
- Caroline, you can't be serious.
What are you trying to do here?
Are you trying to humiliate Taleen or what?
Like, what is this?
- Why is my vagina a round table talk?
Did I take a bit of a stumble?
Maybe, but the vajay never made a cameo.
I mean, I can get a little assy,
but, like, most of the time, I'm classy.
- Can we have a top up, waiter?
- Brooks, enough alcohol. - Yeah.
- Enough. - Is that it?
- Yeah. - All right.
I'm jus' gonna get up and go to the bathroom.
- I've never seen her like this.
Why is she so, like, she's like 100?
- I don't know what's happening.
- So, recently, I've been doing spiritual therapy
with, like, healers and shamans from Bali,
and I just made Brooks start it, as well.
- Oh, she told me about that.
It's gonna take more than a shaman.
- It's beautiful.
When you do spiritual therapy,
it's like you go deep into your soul.
- Are you okay, Ayan? - No, I'm not okay.
- What's wrong? - What's wrong?
- I'm not okay. Um-- - What's wrong?
- To hear you speak like that,
it really, really, makes me so confused, Sara.
- Why?
- Like, because just like you're doing with Brooks,
I really trusted you.
I literally ----ing opened up to you about my story.
Then I see you calling me a victim.
----ing going everywhere.
- When did I say you used your story to be a victim?
- It was all over. - I said your story
is not an excuse for you to be mean to people.
- How the (BLEEP) do I use my story to be a victim, Sara?
- I never said you're playing victim.
- Yeah, you did. You did. - When?
- It was everywhere.
- I gave you my shoulder to cry on,
and I was there for you during your therapy.
Your husband and you called me to thank me.
- Yeah, before you put a knife on my back.
**
- I was there for you during your therapy.
Your husband and you called me to thank me for everything.
- Yeah, before you put a knife on my back.
- Stop, Chanel. You don't need to go low.
Everyone's told me
you've been speaking about me behind my back.
- Why did you call her a victim?
Stop deflecting. - Exactly.
- And, you're deflecting. - Because-- stop, stop.
- Sara, you're deflecting. - Stop.
- Guys, guys. - You apologize.
- Ayan, stop!
I want to enjoy my bread.
Could you please have this conversation alone?
- Go, go, go. - Yes, yes.
- Where are lobsters, please?
- Sit down.
- I can't have a conversation with everyone sitting--
- Oops. - Oh, my God.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, sit down.
Sara, I was so comfortable with you.
And then when that interview came out,
I felt like you betrayed me.
I was really hurt by you saying that.
- And I was hurt you went on Twitter telling people
that I don't own any businesses
and that I'm broke. - Sara.
No, no, let's not-- let's not go there.
- And I posted a picture of myself
with a beautiful quote.
You wrote, "Oh, now you're modeling, Sara,
on Twitter? Ha-ha."
- Yeah, I thought that was funny.
- I genuinely hope they can resolve it.
- We're ready to have some fun. - Yes.
- Let them deal with their issues, please.
- Thank you. Anybody wants a top off?
Skinny margarita? - Are we good?
- Skinny margarita? - Who?
- You and I. - Have it.
- Why wouldn't you guys be good?
- I just want to make sure we're all good.
- Why? - You've been talking
to Caroline about the vajay,
and the way it was brought to me
was you were like, "I can't believe
Taleen behaves like this, da, da, da."
- I said that to you? - Yeah.
I think that we can all agree
that the 7 o'clock a.m. phone calls
should stop from Caroline.
- I won't call you again, with pleasure.
Brooks and I are super close.
We speak every single day.
If Brooks had any feelings towards what I was saying,
why wouldn't she just tell me in the first place?
We're on the phone having a conversation.
She said absolutely nothing.
Chuckled along with me like everything was fine.
I never said, "Is this how you're gonna be?"
I said, "I found that funny."
- Well, if it was in a joking way,
it's different. - No, it was in a joking way.
- Okay, good, good. That's good.
- Lobster or prawns?
- Lobster. - Good.
- Lobster and then prawn later.
- And, Caroline, lobster or prawns?
- Uh...
- I like how I'm the one serving you guys.
- Yes. - Yeah, no, thank you.
- I'll have a prawn, actually.
- So, what you're trying to say is,
I went and said something bad about you,
so you tell the whole world
that I play victim-- - No, no, no.
- On my story. - So, I said,
"You cannot victimize yourself
and hurt people because you were hurt."
Don't bleed the people that didn't cut you.
- Sara, do I look like somebody who bleeds?
- What?
- All I want you, for me, is say, "Ayan, you know what?
"I hear you. You trusted me. You opened up to me,
and I put salt and vinegar--" - No, I--
- Into the vein."
- All I said is you victimize yourself
because you want to be the center of attention,
and it's true.
- I am center of attention.
- See, there you go.
I don't even want the sorry from you. I'm okay.
- We don't need to apologize to each other.
- It's fine. It's okay. I'm-I'm good.
- Just don't pretend to be this kind, carrying,
loving human being. - I don't pretend.
- You are not a good person.
Maybe you should check your soul.
- Maybe you should buy your own clothes, Chanel.
- I do. I do. - Stop borrowing.
- I do. - You're full of sh--.
- You're full of sh--, too.
Instead of doing all these face surgeries,
get your soul surgery because your soul is sh--.
- Look, gold leaf and caviar on your sea bass.
- Oh, my God, this is beautiful.
- Are we good?
- No, we can never ----ing be good
because nobody can hold their accountability
and apologize. - No, no, no.
- I apologized. She said, "I don't need your apology."
- What? - Whoa.
- Yeah, exactly, and I meant what I said.
I'm not taking it back.
- I don't need you to validate who I am.
I know who I am.
- I didn't validate who you are.
- We should all take a shot. Who wants a shot?
- The service is a little bit slow.
I'm not gonna lie. [laughing]
- Can we please get a round of tequila?
Next time on "The Real Housewives of Dubai."
- Hello, grandma.
My mom is flying in from Miami.
- The plan is to get her to move here.
[laughing]
- Do you think it's normal that you go with your ex-husband
seven days to the U.S.?
- Even if we became a family again,
you can still live with me.
- You're ----ing kidding me. [laughing]
- I'm kidding.
- Who wants a shot?
- Make sure you wax your vagina this time.
- You've been winding stuff up with Taleen.
- Excuse me.
You disrespected my friend.
- That's ridiculous.
- Well, why would Stanbury just leave, right now?
- Let her go because she's a ----ing dumb (BLEEP).
- No, don't say that. - Let her go.
