Here's the *Real* Truth Behind Sara Al Madani's Voice Note: "My Messages Were Clear"
Sara Al Madani sets the record straight after Chanel Ayan and Caroline Stanbury accused her of talking badly about Caroline Brooks.
Did Sara Al Madani really say she's not a fan of her longtime friend Caroline Brooks? According to Chanel Ayan and Caroline Stanbury, yes — and they had the voice memo (initially sent from Sara to Lesa Milan) to prove it on Season 2, Episode 8 of The Real Housewives of Dubai.
Or so they thought.
In a preview for Episode 9, set to air July 30, the conversation about said voice memo continues as the Dubai ladies are out to dinner in Bali. Brooks and Sara are naturally eager to get more information, so Lesa explains, "I sent Ayan a voice note from [Sara] and towards the end of it, I wasn't clear if you were disagreeing with Brooks about the fight that happened at Caroline's home..."
Before she can continue, Taleen Marie interjects and gets straight to the point, telling Sara, "You said, 'I'm not a fan of Caroline Brooks.'"
From there, Ayan hits play on the voice memo.
What did Sara Al Madani say about Caroline Brooks in the voice note?
From the voice memo Ayan plays for the group, Sara can be heard discussing the drama from Stanbury's housewarming dinner. She tells Lesa, "You did what's right, regardless of who the person was, and I get it. And you explained yourself. You're like, 'Even if I'm not Brooks' fan, I will still not stand for that,' and that is true."
"I was saying you said you're not Brooks' fan," Sara clarifies.
The voice note continues from there, with Sara adding, "I'm not her biggest fan as well."
However, she wasn't talking about Brooks.
"Of Taleen!" Sara tells the group before reminding them of what went down at Stanbury's dinner. "In the moment when I heard you screaming, 'Where's your husband?' I wasn't your biggest fan, babe. I was upset because [Brooks] is divorced, I'm divorced."
With that, everyone — especially Brooks — feels better.
"Sara was talking about Taleen, not me," she notes in a confessional. "And you know what? I can't say that I disagree."
Even Taleen says, "I'm relieved because I know what Sara Al Madani means to Brooks and I know that would've deeply hurt her. Would it have been kind of fun to see in the moment? Hell yeah. But I didn't want to see that friendship blow up."

The drama stemming from the voice note isn't over just yet, though.
"I am so pissed at Ayan," Lesa says in a confessional. "And the worse part about it is she shares it with Stanbury of all people."
Stanbury, meanwhile, says in her own confessional, "I did not know that the voice note was from Lesa. Had I known that, we would've taken it to the grave because that is not a relationship I want to come between."
Then there's Ayan, who's upset with both Stanbury (for bringing up the voice note) and Lesa (for saying she'll never trust Ayan again). As she explains, "You, Lesa, [are] my friend. I'm angry at Stanbury, but I'm more angry at you than Stanbury. I expect more out of you. If you can sit there at a dinner with everybody and literally say 'I don't trust you'? It's like she was trying to put me down."
Sara isn't exactly pleased with the situation, either.
"I don't understand how she got confused," she says of Lesa. "My messages were clear. It was about Taleen the whole time, all the voice notes. We were talking about Taleen. What are you confused about exactly?"
