Chanel Ayan is convinced Britney Spears watches ‘The Real Housewives’ — and Dolores Catania feels ‘good’ about that
Britney Spears is a Bravo fan, according to “Real Housewives of Dubai” star Chanel Ayan.
Speaking with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” on the field during Dolores Catania’s annual charity softball game at Coney Island’s Maimonides Park on Wednesday, the model explained why she is convinced the Princess of Pop watches the juggernaut franchise.
Per Ayan, Spears’ ex-husband Sam Asghari told her that the “Lucky” singer, 42, likes to keep up with the TV drama when she met him earlier this year in Scotland while filming “The Traitors” Season 3.
“I just kept on asking him so many questions about Britney Spears. At one point, he was like, ‘I can’t answer all these questions!’” the Ayan Beauty founder, 50, recalled.
In June, Page Six reported that Asghari, 30, had to be careful about what he said regarding Spears during production due to a nondisclosure agreement he signed years ago.
But that didn’t stop Ayan, a noted fan of the iconic entertainer, from pressing for information.

“I was like, ‘Does she watch “Housewives”?’” she told us, divulging her No. 1 question for Asghari.
When asked to share his response to the query, the Kenya native happily announced, “Yes, she does!”
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Catania, 53, “Real Housewives of New York City” vet Dorinda Medley and “The Biggest Loser” alum Bob Harper — who also filmed the forthcoming installment of “The Traitors” — joined Ayan for the chat with “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
All three were pleased to hear that Spears is a “Housewives” viewer, especially Catania, who feels “good” about such a celebrity endorsement.
Medley, 59, for her part, wasn’t shocked: “Who doesn’t watch ‘Housewives’?” she quipped.
However, she was “surprised” to see Spears’ former spouse join the Peacock competition series — and had to quickly familiarize herself with his headline-making split from the Grammy winner last year.
“I didn’t know it was her [ex-]husband,” she said with a chuckle. “I was like, ‘Don’t worry about being divorced. Life moves on. You’ll be fine!’”
Reps for Spears and Asghari didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Catania wrangled an impressive group of reality talent to take part in her famed “Battle for Brooklyn” benefit, which has been covered on “RHONJ” for years. (Cameras were down this time as the show prepares for a reboot due to the divisive nature of its current cast.)
Several “RHONJ” ladies — including Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Fessler — showed up to support fundraising efforts for Maimonides Medical Center’s Breast Center, its staff and cancer patients.
“It’s the best feeling ever when we can all come together as a cast and do something so good. We’re still alive,” Catania joked to “Virtual Reali-Tea,” referencing the explosive “Off the Rails” special that replaced a traditional reunion for “RHONJ” Season 14.
“The positivity was flowing!”
