• She fools everyone with this whole fake spiritual awakening thing, but she's actually more superficial than anyone, just chasing fame, fortune, and plastic surgery.

• She even calls herself a "Dr." with a degree in empowerment! Seriously, where do you even get a doctorate in empowerment? It's probably an honorary title from some unknown institution or a sketchy correspondence certificate. The truth is this self-proclaimed Dr has no college education, not even an undergraduate degree. In her extensive profile, under the education section, she has only listed Sharjah American International School, which is a K-12 school in the Emirates.

• She pretends to be all enlightened and awakened, but in reality, she's just a self-righteous liar who only respects money and fame.

• She even uses her son to get what she wants. Remember how cringeworthy it was when she coached her son to ask Akin, "When are you going to be my daddy?" and then acted all shocked and embarrassed? So obvious that it was totally orchestrated by Sara.

• She wants to have her cake and eat it too. She expects her partner to cover all the family expenses and fund her lavish lifestyle, like in traditional Middle Eastern families where men pamper their women. But those women usually stay home, obediently taking care of the house and kids. Sara, on the other hand, wants to be worldly, sexy, and run her shady business while a man pays for everything. Pick a lane, Dr. Sara!

• Her relationship with Akin was so cringy to watch. Her obvious hints about what she wanted from him were painful to sit through.

• Some of her stories sound completely fabricated. I mean, which podcast is paying her $45,000 to be a guest? Can anyone find that podcast?

• But the worst part is her that she's been promoting on The Real Housewives of Dubai. She preys on people in need, milking them for money with healing retreats in Zanzibar that cost $6,500 to $7,500. She even sells something called "Lightforce Healing" for $999, claiming it can cure everything from autoimmune diseases to depression and even cancer! These are dangerous lies, and Bravo should stop her from promoting this spiritual BS and taking money from vulnerable people.

• Sara isn't just a grifter and a con artist; she's also dangerous. Her business is based on lies and deceit, and she needs to be investigated!

In S2, E5 of The Real Housewives of Dubai, at the very end of the episode, Sara talks about Brooks' spiritual healing session: “Therapy takes time, spiritual healing is on the spot, like direct, like crazy,” she said, trying to explain to Ayan that one session of spiritual healing could heal a person, just as it supposedly did for Brooks. Essentially, she was promoting her shady healing business, claiming it can heal people immediately without the long process that therapy requires.

And than

In WWHL S21, E137, when Andy asked how one spiritual healing session could have healed Brooks, Sara contradicted herself, saying, “You do not heal from one session. You need a lot of sessions. And Brooks just did one. And we never said that Brooks healed! What like?…What it’s like Jesus Christ came down?! No, it doesn’t work like that.”

Of course, Dr. Sara! People need "a lot" of sessions because you need to make "a lot" of money!

Bravo should not give this woman a platform!

I'm tired of pausing the tv to attempt to read it, especially since it never stops reading like gibberish. (sorry if this has been asked before and I missed it)

Brooks is exhausting. She creates conflicts out of nothing. She changes facts to fit her narrative. She will fight about something and then the next day claim it was about something else. I don’t understand why Lesa, Ayan, and Sara ride so hard for her. I guess the antics by Brooks gives them all more screen time, but it’s now tedious and performative.

Sara pretends to be a CEO. she had an abaya company with a real designer named Apple Wong like 15 years ago and it ended in litigation. And she was CEO of halahi from July 2020 to December 2020 when the offices were closed. everything else she pretends to have is made up remember last season. She was posting about starting the Kind and Co makeup line. when she was with Michele Morrone they were always posting about the new perfume. They were launching called, "feel it" after his song. it never launched. She tried to raise money for an electric car Aleksma. of course that failed. You have to be delusional to think somebody's just gonna hand you that kind of money when you have no track record in anything related to engineering. She and her second husband tried to sell Covid masks and that is still on her LinkedIn. People who were fans of 365 spent a lot of time trying to track down all of her businesses. There aren't any. and they were vendors popping up. They were owed money from Halahi for recruiting talent. and her best friend and celebrity mgr from season one Nour said she was owed money and couldn't stay in Dubai anymore so she went back to Lebanon. if you notice Caroline Stanbury never refers to her as a businesswoman. She only calls her an influencer and inspirational speaker. and if anybody believes there was a podcast that was pay her $45,000 and she declined it for this guy Akin's complaint who was not even her official boyfriend

I’ve seen this with this franchise that people submit questions for Andy to ask during the reunions and I’m wondering where?

She is very unlikeable and unhinged.

I saw an earlier post about not fully trusting Sara’s kidnapping story and it made me think about the episode where Stanbury and Sara are arguing in the desert, and Lesa says something like “If I were Stanbury, I wouldn’t be arguing with an Emirati woman like that. I don’t want to end up in jail.” I was so taken back with questions after she said that. I’m not outright opposed to Sara, but it does make you wonder the weight she holds with the cast and the cultural dynamics that go into filming.

I’ve also read that you should dress “modestly”, which makes me wonder how they get away with some of their outfits.

Also, that it’s illegal to cohabitate or have sexual relations with someone you’re not married to which makes me wonder if that played into Sergio and Stanbury getting married so quickly? I have so many questions here about filming as the culture is so different from most of the other housewife franchises. I wish they would/could talk about it more on the show.

Now I’m not saying anything suspicious is going on between them but I just watched episode 2&3 of season 2 and they’re superrrr close. At first I thought it was super sweet that she felt safe enough to call him over when she was nervous about Daniel when she was being set up with him and Sergio immediately gave her a way out, and made her clearly feel more comfortable.

But then when Sara pulled him away to talk about his martial problems at the “going away” party??? Idk I wouldn’t be comfortable with my husband and friend being that close? Not even just emotionally but physically, now I know the physical affection is a cultural thing for both of them, but I feel like it’s more with the two of them than the others

That being said part of me feels like Sergio is so desperate for someone to be nice and listen to him that he just latches onto Sara because she (intentionally or not) gives him whatever he’s missing. No lie though I think they’d be a better couple. Sergio loves kids and Sara’s son needs a father figure, plus crazy clingy Sergio would fit perfectly with Sara who needs to be needed 24/7

Just my opinion idk I’m getting some vibes

I’m on season 2, episode 5, and so far, I love Stanbury. She stays so collected when the girls are going at her, even though I can see it sting. She seems like a total girls’ girl, loyal and kind - once you get past the wall and icey blue eyes. Go girl! Keep it classy!

there is zero chance that a Dubai maid was part of a child kidnapping plot and laid out the terms in text messages as thirsty, ex housewife Nina suggested to the fake doctor and zero employee CEO Sara. The whole thing was cooked up by Sara to create ratings for a show that has been sadly fixated on the tiniest of forced squabbles. The servant who lives with Sara probably just brought some friends home and turned off the cameras so she didn’t get in trouble. Then boasting about her beautiful rich family becomes sinister. We need a new show with Chanel Ayan, Stanbury, and Lesa.

i liked sara in s1 but there’s now something about sara that i don’t like she claims she’s super healed and woke etc but her actions say different, the healing act is so corny why is she always trying to save people and help

OMG Ayan and her "IT'S OK SHEBWILL HAVE A FACE LIFT BEFORE ME" to Caroline Stanbury!!! LOVE IT

I’m honestly getting so sick of her. Like i thought she was cool and what not but it’s getting tiring hearing her always constantly saying she looks better than everyone.

There’s nothing wrong with being confident but if you have to put others down to make yourself feel better about yourself is it really confidence or insecurity?

Anyways that’s my two cents

I don’t even want to get into her royal voice note fuck up and basically taking it out on Caroline when let’s be real if she hadn’t shared the note none of this would have happened in the first place. Like move on sis.

In her confessionals, she says “after seeing what she did to Ayan, throwing her under the bus”… referring to Caroline, is stupid. Caroline understands the assignment. She did not throw Ayan under the bus, pretty sure that Lesa knew this would come up. Caroline makes herself clear. And also, coming for Caroline in the confessionals when she’s not coming for her is tacky. Honestly, something is causing toxicity to Lesa and she’s affecting Ayan and everyone around her negatively

What does he do for a living? Did he have money on his own before meeting Caroline? He spoiled her for her birthday and I’m just wondering if he even works lol don’t know much about him.

why does she walk like that, like a female body builder i don’t understand

So first, I wanna say that I actually feel where he’s coming from—it’s clear being a dad is important and it’s not wrong to want that. But there’s a line from the latest episode which sticks out to me, where he says when Caroline and his family get older/out of his life he’ll be “nothing” if he’s not a father. I think he’s stuck in a very conservative mindset and gender role. And it’s even weirder because he’s like…young, ya know?

And it’s even more old school because his idea of being a father is one that absolutely has to be his biologically.

I will say Carolina is a bit TA here too. Caroline has every right to do what she wants with her body and that means not having a kid but stringing Sergio along for this long while saying at every turn he’s “free to leave at any moment” is shitty.

don't get me wrong, I don't think pushing Caroline for the baby is a right move when she clearly doesn't want it. Caroline had a good life, sergio is younger, i actually believe he loves her and thats why he is so serious about having a baby. he's looking at the future, when caroline is enjoying life right now. caroline deserves to live however she wants and sergio deserves to have serious life with somebody, make a family and etc. thats why im so confused about why didnt they discuss all of this better before they got married. they both are clearly in different headspaces and i feel like divorce is incoming.

What podcast pays a guest $45k for one episode?

The only one I can think of with that kind of money is J. Rogan and why would anyone with that type of following want a housewife on a struggling show on to talk about spirituality? She said it was a sports guy, so again, I’m not understanding the markets meeting.

The other thing is talking about the situation about her son directly in from of him. That was wildly inappropriate. He’s school aged. I guess boundaries don’t apply when you are soooo spiritual and evolved. To me, it is a very big, fast moving red flag to talk about your child being in danger in front of said child. It’s weird.
