Summary

This week, Chanel Ayan joins Scheana for a conversation that is equal parts glam, grounded, and absolutely unhinged in the best way. They dish on some of Chanel’s most viral moments from BravoCon (like accidentally matchmaking Paige DeSorbo with one of ex Craig’s Southern Charm cast members), and she proves once again why she’s reality TV gold. The two also get real about the side of Chanel the world doesn’t always see — the young mom who battled postpartum depression, the loyal friend who shows up when it matters, and the entrepreneur whose beauty brand has even caught the attention of Anna Wintour.

Of course, there’s plenty of Bravo tea: Chanel’s take on the Tamra/Katie drama, Sonja Morgan confusing her for Kiki Barth, and what Scheana’s ex-husband really thinks about her still using his last name. They dive into the future of “Real Housewives of Dubai” (is it coming back?!), PLUS the other Housewives franchise that asked Chanel to film. And which Bravo star does she reveal is the hardest to get along with? Tune in to find out!
