'Real Housewives Of Dubai:' Sara Al Madani Slams Chanel Ayan for 'Bad Behavior'

'Real Housewives Of Dubai' star Sara Al Madani claims that her co-star, Chanel Ayan uses her past traumas to excuse her bad behavior towards people.

Ayan confessed on a recent episode on the show that she and her sister were both subjected to forced genital mutilation as kids, to keep them chaste until marriage. She also added that the traumatic experience caused her physical and emotional pain.

Now, Al Madani is weighing in on Ayan's character on the show, saying that her trauma isn't an excuse for bad behavior.

Read on for more details.

Al Madani revealed in an Us Weekly podcast, that Ayan uses her past traumas to excuse her bad behavior. Following Ayan's confessions on the Wednesday about her traumatic experience, she called Al Madani "full of herself" because the model told her that it's "never too late to be like me."

This remark came on the tail of Ayan's off-camera compliment: "I love the way you speak and wish I could be like you one day, but it's too late."

According to Al Madani, Ayan twisted the story to make herself look like a victim and tried to also use her trauma as an excuse. "We've all been through traumas in life, but that's not an excuse for us to treat people in any bad way or behave in any certain way."

She continued, per Us Weekly, "Because maturity is figuring out your issues and solving them and helping yourself. It's not treating people badly and saying, 'Hey, I've been traumatized.'"

Al Madani claimed that she "crossed rivers" for Ayan, whom she believes won't "cross a puddle" for her.

"For Ayan, I was a shoulder for her to cry on. I was the person she called for advice. I have done so much for Ayan," Al Madani began. "I was always by her side, and I got her back. So I felt like we were building a friendship."

She continued, "And when I watched the show, I was like, 'Hold on, that's insane! I am not preachy. You call me for advice. You have a demand, and I supply you. Why don't I advise Nina [Ali] or Lesa [Milan] on the show? It is because they never came up to me for advice. You did. [Caroline] Brooks did.'"

On an episode of the "Real Housewives Of Dubai," Ayan and Al Madani visited a hypnotherapist where she opened up about her traumatic childhood experience.

"The crying, the sadness, the beatings. That's what I remember. A lot of pain," Ayan said amidst tears. "We were tied in the legs. Couldn't pee. Couldn't move. When we needed to pee, they would carry us and put us on the grass. I just didn't understand what the hell was happening, and my mom didn't know that that was happening to us."

She also told her co-star she was ready to move on from her past experiences. Additionally, it was also a bonding moment for the duo.

The 'RHOD' star shared that she was ready to move past her experience and has finally found forgiveness for those who hurt her.

"I've chosen, for the first time in my life, to forgive them and accept what happened to me," she said. "I still have a lot of life, and I still have a lot of love to give to myself."

She continued, "I feel lighter. It's like the mountain is off my shoulder. I'm starting to heal. I'm starting to understand that I trusted people that hurt me, and they don't have power over me anymore."

She also decided to translate her trauma to activism because she recognizes how important it is to speak up about the situation.

"I think the trauma is something that I will live with for the rest of my life," Ayan said. "This is why I want to talk about it because I honestly don't want this to happen to anyone because I know exactly how it feels, and it's not good. Many girls get depressed, hormones are imbalanced, and many young girls die."
