DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: The 'Real Housewives of Dubai' stars Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan made their Bravo show debut with a strong friendship which seemed to be sabotaged in Season 2. The trailer of the upcoming installment has teased a dramatic fight between Ayan and Milan.

Caroline Brooks stirred the pot when she told Lesa that "somebody stole her best friend." Brooks notably referred to Ayan and her budding friendship with Caroline Stanbury. In the confessional interview, Milan noted about her estranged friend, "Ayan is jumping on the Stan-wagon. The only wagons I ride are G."

The tension escalated between the three housewives, Ayan, Milan and Stanbury during a dinner party. Milan claimed, "A snake will always change their skin but they’ll always be a snake." However, Stanbury responded, "I feel the same about you, darling." In a separate scene, Ayan accused Milan of trying to come between her and Stanbury and furiously exclaimed, "My friendship with you is over!"
