RHODubai fans react as Chanel Ayan confesses to almost marrying her cousin
Tonight, RHODubai star Chanel went out for ice cream with her husband, and the two talked about how they met. Chanel explained the cultural differences between marriages in the western world and her homeplace, Kenya. She said parents raise kids as an investment they can reap when their child gets married via dowry.
She said that, as per tradition, she was not allowed to marry anyone outside her community, let alone a white man. It was unheard of in her village for a bride to run away from her wedding.
She revealed that all the preparations for her wedding were done when she ran away from her home, and her mother was distraught. Luca paid $1000 for her dowry. She then revealed that she was friends with that cousin after her marriage.
RHODubai fans were shocked by her story and thanked her for respectfully describing the cultural difference.
What happened on RHODubai last week?
Last week on RHODubai, Chanel, Lesa, and Caroline Brooks met for lunch. Chanel gifted Brooks a basket of lemons to apologize and said they had a relationship like sisters. Chanel said she was in a challenging position at the time of the argument. She asked Brooks why she called her to inform her about the disinvitation at 7 in the morning.
Caroline was upset with Chanel as the two used to talk all the time but stopped suddenly after the argument. She also felt that Lesa and Chanel always teamed up. She informed Caroline S. about the lunch and told her that Lesa had asked Chanel to wait for Stanbury’s apology. Caroline S. said it was none of Lesa’s business and that she should "pipe down."
Chanel later helped Lesa organize her first-ever fashion show. Lesa admitted that her husband did not believe in the company’s vision and had only invested money because he trusted Lesa. Caroline did not attend the fashion show but spent time with her fiancé and her dog.
Chanel believed that Caroline did not attend the show because Chanel was a part of it.
Nina and Caroline S. booked a hotel room under the sea for their kid’s slumber party. Nina was afraid of spoiling the kids with luxuries. Caroline talked about Sergio wanting kids in the future, but her daughter said there was no way she would have another sibling.
