RHODubai: Taleen Marie on Fallout With Caroline Brooks and How It Gets Worse (Exclusive)

'The Real Housewives of Dubai's Taleen Marie spills on all things season 2, airing Tuesdays on Bravo and streaming on Peacock. The newly minted reality star reveals to ET she hasn't been speaking to her one-time close friend, Caroline Brooks, as the show airs. Taleen says the Brooks she filmed 'Housewives' with is a different person than the woman she's known for nearly a decade, but she's hopeful their friendship can recover. She hits back at some things Brooks and Saba Yousef have said about her online, and defends her budding friendships with Caroline Stanbury and Chanel Ayan. Plus, Taleen teases a wild cast trip to Bali and shares her hopes for reunion and a potential season 3.

Taleen is the best addition!! she's such a character!! so funny, relatable and not thirsty for drama.

[@RestauranteBeiraMar]

agree

[@goddesslov3338]

Guess I missed all that 🫠 her and Brooke are just alike … that’s exactly why they have been “friends” for so long. Taleen claims she never seen this side of Brooke , but everyone did on season 1 😂 but most people aren’t good at reading people so this comment is understandable.

[@sarahcooper29]

She’s real I believe her! She’s a true house wife, sexy, got kids, an actual real rich husband that stand up for her. I’m rooting for her

[@gailspady3977]

I think she is good addition. I don't like what's going on with her & Brooks but I do like her as part of the cast

[@W-dn6xt]

People be acting like NPCs here, it's stupid. Taleen came in with ideas in her head about Stanburry thanks to Brooks. Taleen figured that maybe I'm gonna give her a chance anyways, she did and she liked her. Very simple, that's not her betraying Brooks. But if you do think that was Taleen betraying Brooks you're basically saying that Taleen is not allowed to make her own judgement and that she must blindly follow Brooks and dislike Stanburry. Taleen doesn't owe Brooks that, it's not a signed contract, she's allowed to do what she wants and if Brooks calls that "betraying" then Taleen is basically a prisoner in that friendship and nobody should have a friend who puts you in that place, it's horrible.

[@Rohey499]

All facts! I totally agree.

[@nnekam6153]

Thank you ! You have said it all ! All those people supporting Brooks and insulting Taleen are acting like they would tolerate Brooks in real life !

[@Kimboagogo1]

That's exactly how I see it, too. At Stanbury's party, Brooks was antiganizing and started shit!! Yes, Taleen took it a bit too far she should have kept her mouth shut! But Brooks instigated it

[@akbasg]

Nah she betrayed her friend...she f*cked up

[@arijuju7303]

Taleen jumped ship so fast lol! She came on as a friend to Brooks and immediately thought ouuuu standsbury…..proximity lol! You were never a good friend! Even Caroline was annoyed with Sara for doing exactly what you did to Brooks! Love Sarah though she did nothing wrong ;).

[@athena4519]

I’m sorry, but I think if you've been friends for years and no issues with Caroline prior to getting on the show, that seems suspicious to me that all of a sudden you do over something not that serious. Say what you want about Caroline but she seems like shes always going to be herself (the good and the bad) So i feel like she is well aware of her personality after all these years and seeing her on the show already. I think there maybe some truth in the lights camera action syndrome here. She sees that the other ladies were having issues with Caroline, so she wanted to find a way to separate herself from what she perceived as a sinking ship not good for her future on the show. I see a fake opportunist, not loyal friend here.

[@mz.weiners187]

Smart. Yes

[@MikaMausArt]

It's the other way around: Brooks got her on the show to use her as a storyline, Taleen isn't dumb and it's backfiring

Ohhh please so she should keep insulting and belittling her ? And yet expect blind loyalty ! Thesame Brooks who said she didn’t care about her feelings in front of everyone! Someone also brought Brooks on to the show ; does that give the person the right to keep insulting and belittling her ?! No one in real life can tolerate that kind of behavior forever !

Brooks maybe bring her but Brooks is so helly.

10 years of friendship 💀 in one single season? The only thing I can say is kudos to Gizelle and Robyn! For what it’s worth and despite it all!

[@beth1321]

I say that all the time. Giselle and Robyn are the ONLY friends that remained friends on the Housewives show.

[@xy-qy2yg]

@@kristelngami4816 I thought Wendy and Candiace were Real Friends before. And Garcelle and Sutton seem to have a Real friendship too. But you are right about not decades long etc. And the show has destroyed many friendships. Sonja and Ramona of NY remained close friends though. They were real friends before and still are.

[@sabrinavessel6129]

As the season progresses I think the real Taleen is going to be exposed. It appears she used Brooks to get on the show and then jumped ship. And her husband is out of line for going after a women in the manner in which he did…I bet if she did have a man or husband with her he would have not pulled that, period

[@Rohey499]

I think Brooks wanted to control Taleen’s friendship with the other ladies. She wanted Taleen to fight with Stanbury over that trivial issue but Taleen has her own mind. Brooks love to stir the pot let’s be real.

[@goddesslov3338]

Exactly, but most people gotta learn the hard way 😂 they’ll see.

[@din6675]

I really want to know what Lesa did to Ayan. This is exactly the kind of storyline we want on housewives.

[@malissakpadeh8951]

It was the OTHER WAY AROUND

[@yhull]

I’m with her. Brookes is nasty. She’s the problem, after episode 7 it’s crystal clear. She’s miserable and loves creating lame chaos.

[@alexpress5375]

Idk until proven wrong, I really like Taleen. She comes across real, direct and fun 🤷

[@zamo9266]

Talent I do believed what Brooks said you wanted to go on the show and after you got the job you started trashing her. Speak the truth and stop lying, you wanted to become friends with Carolyn S. stop lying. I have seen your husband with you complaining about things that you should keep to yourself, why is he getting involved. It is a housewife show.
