‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’s Caroline Brooks Teases ‘Interesting’ Season 2 and Changing Friendships [Interview]

‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’ is back for a second season and Caroline Brooks says Bravo fans never want to miss out.

Brooks attempted explaining her puzzling actions towards Stanbury in an interview with Decider. At the time, she felt like Stanbury was selecting on Marie, and did not want the new housewife to really feel unwelcome in their pal group. She noted, “I kind of held onto my anger toward it because I thought it was really hypocritical for Caroline to treat [Marie] that way considering, like I said, we’ve all had our nights out, and I’ve seen Caroline in the same position. So it’s like, hello, how dare you? It’s the pot calling the kettle black here.” But even if Stanbury was getting a bully, why would Brooks want to go against her pal in such a drastic way?

Which Caroline Is to Blame For the ‘RHODubai’ Feud?

It appears there is truly extra to the dispute than what has been shown so far. In a post on June 12, Brooks tweeted that “a lot more happened off camera…It’s a shame that you guys don’t have context, but I can show you all receipts and walk you through the chain of events so you can understand everything.” No one particular is truly clear about what Brooks is referring to, but it tends to make sense that there is anything else involved in the conflict other than just what has been aired so far. It is surely required for the show to go additional into what brought on the breakdown involving the two Carolines, for the reason that at this point, it virtually appears like Brooks is beginning a war just to steal the spotlight this season. Audiences have no notion what else Stanbury could possibly have carried out to invoke the wrath of Brooks, so it is tough to inform irrespective of whether Brooks is letting her anger get the very best of her for a superior purpose or not.

Brooks does acknowledge that she requires factors as well far at occasions. In an interview with OK Magazine, she stated, “I need to watch my mouth, though. I’m a little bit unfiltered, but hey, what can I do? I totally didn’t hold back at all. I wish somebody would’ve reeled me in a little bit because I definitely did not hold back – but it’s not really my personality.” Perhaps following seeing this footage, Brooks is realizing how her actions came across, particularly for the reason that Marie appears completely fine dropping the complete situation entirely. It’s a shame that a previously loving, exciting partnership need to turn into this for the reason that of a feud that no one particular truly knows the accurate lead to of. Hopefully, RHODubai will fill in the blanks in future episodes and let fans far better have an understanding of what truly led to this disagreement, so that they know which Caroline to back going forward.
