The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey put her drama to bed with Chanel Ayan of “The Real Housewives of Dubai.”
During a March 17 episode of “Humble Brag,” aptly titled, “Squash the Beef,” the two discussed their feud after Bailey called Ayan “annoying” at Bravo Fan Fest, with co-host Crystal Kung Minkoff moderating the conversation.
“I really wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings,” Bailey told Ayan. “It was just a silly question, we gave an answer, and it is what it is.”
“When you reached out and said it hurt your feelings, I took that [seriously], although I thought the game was stupid and silly,” Bailey continued.
Ayan said that whenever she and Bailey hung out, they would have so much fun together, so she didn’t understand why the shade was thrown.
Bailey explained that the question was just thrown at her and told Ayan, “I love you, I think you’re great.” “I love you too,” the “RHODubai” star answered.
Fans React to Bailey & Ayan Making Up
“I hope y’all don’t take any harsh comments to heart this week. This was really engaging and I appreciate the emotional journey you took us on in a single episode. Loved it, messiness and all!” a fan replied.
Another said to Minkoff, “I’ve got to give you props for attempting to moderate the first half of the pod. Your face was saying… aaaawkward. You guys turned it around for sure. Enjoyed as always.”
One wrote, “I love this podcast and look forward to it every Monday! @cynthiabailey I thought you handled this beautifully!”
Bailey & Ayan Have Known Each Other for Years
Although Bailey and Ayan agreed on the March 17 “Humble Brag” episode that they weren’t very close, the two Housewives’ friendship goes back several years.
In August 2022, Bravo shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram of several “Real Housewives” stars, including Bailey and Ayan, attending Teresa Giudice’s wedding.
Just a month before, Ayan tweeted a photo of her with Bailey and her “RHODubai” castmate Lesa Milan. “With the beautiful @CynthiaBailey10 and my bestie @LesaMilan,” the model wrote.
