Chanel Ayan calls Caroline Stanbury ‘the biggest witch of the Middle East’ in explosive ‘RHODubai’ preview
Chanel Ayan slams off-and-on bestie Caroline Stanbury in the explosive midseason trailer for “The Real Housewives of Dubai” Season 2, released Tuesday by Bravo.
“I’m dealing with the biggest witch of the Middle East,” the Ayan Beauty founder, 46, says of Stanbury, 48, in a confessional.
Ayan’s biting comment comes amid discord with the “Ladies of London” alum and their fellow “RHODubai” castmate Lesa Milan.
One scene shows the trio arguing during what appears to be a dinner, during which Milan, 35, and Stanbury spar particularly hard.
“Misery loves company,” Milan tells Stanbury, to which the latter retorts, “I am not miserable, Lesa.”
But the Mina Roe CEO disagrees, telling the “Uncut and Uncensored” podcast host, “You’re miserable as f—k!”
While Ayan feels Stanbury’s behavior was wicked, she isn’t fond of the part Milan played in the discord either. She gives her now-ex-BFF another unsavory title: “the biggest bully in the Middle East.”
The model emphasizes in her confessional that she was “disappointed” in Stanbury and “expected more” out of Milan.

After production for the sophomore installment of “Dubai” wrapped last year, Ayan ultimately built a stronger friendship with Stanbury while her once-close bond with Milan deteriorated.
Ayan and Milan’s fallout is teased in the new preview.
In an heated exchange over an unspecified issue, the fashion designer accuses Ayan of deceit.
“I swear to God on my children’s life, God strike them dead, you are a liar!” Milan passionately exclaims.
Both women assert that they are “done” with each other before cast member Caroline Brooks seemingly celebrates their dissension.
“Yes, the house of cards is falling down,” the Glass House by Caroline Brooks businesswoman says in a confessional. “I’m here for it, bitch!”
Milan recently told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that she was confounded by Ayan’s decision to ditch their friendship to pursue a relationship with Stanbury.
“I don’t get it, I really don’t get the hype. I genuinely don’t,” Milan said of Stanbury.
“I feel like I would want to be on this side any day. And anybody that rocks with me elevates,” the former Miami resident added before quipping, “Over there, it looks very gold-plated and rusting.”
Still, Milan is mourning the loss of Ayan in her social circle.
“It was a true friendship and I think people can identify with it. Ayan and I, we were really best friends and … I can’t wait to see how it all plays out,” she explained.
“I must have missed something because I did not see it coming. So I am just as invested as the fans,” Milan elaborated. “I truly, genuinely loved her. And it’s always sad when anybody breaks up, right?”
“The Real Housewives of Dubai” airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
