Taleen Marie Shades Lesa Milan — And Caroline Stanbury’s Face — During Snarky ‘WWHL’ Interview

Taleen Marie isn’t bothered by Lesa Milan calling her a bitch — multiple times — on last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Dubai, because she sees it as nothing more than an attention grab. Marie was a guest on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last night, where she opened up about the “dust-up in Dubai” that occurred between herself and Milan.

For some context, on last night’s episode of RHOD, Marie did the thing that almost no other reality star does: she took her friend Caroline Stanbury aside, away from the group, to discuss a personal matter with her. Marie wanted to ask Stanbury if she and her husband Sergio were going through any trouble at the moment, and wanted to let Stanbury know that Sergio was bothered by the way that Stanbury’s children treated him.

After Stanbury assured Marie that all was well with her husband and kids, she explained that she appreciated that this conversation was not held out in the open, in front of others.

Lesa Milan, however, was annoyed that this personal conversation was being had in private, away from her prying ears, so when Marie and Stanbury returned to the group, Milan asked why the two were speaking privately. When Marie told her it was because she was “just looking out for a friend,” and asked Milan to move on, Milan replied, “Bitch, I moved on,” and proceeded to call Marie a bitch three more times.

On Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Marie, “Why do you think Lesa got so upset with you about taking Stanbury aside?”

“That’s a great question,” Marie answered, adding with a touch of shade, “I think she loves a moment.”

Fans who were watching WWHL were asked to vote in a Work! The Polls! online poll, and 93% of them sided with Marie over the situation.

“That’s a landslide on your favor,” Cohen told Marie, who replied, “I’m shocked, actually.”

In a second poll, fans were asked to guess who in the cast is older, Chanel Ayan or Caroline Stanbury, and during the voting, Marie asked Cohen snarkily, “Which face are we talking about? Stanbury’s old face or the new one?” (Ultimately, 88% of fans voted that Stanbury was older than Ayan.)

The shade continued for the rest of the polls, too. At one point, when asked how long they thought Stanbury’s marriage to Sergio would last, fellow guest Brian Safi said “35 to 50 years,” and Marie responded, “Stanbury will be dead by then.”
