During the event, Chanel took on the role of interviewer, engaging with numerous Bravolebrities on the red carpet. Her own series, Real Housewives of Dubai, has been placed on hold following its second season, leading many fans to speculate that it might not return.
In an appearance on Humble Brag, Chanel alluded to two Bravo personalities who she found unapproachable, stating she couldn’t quite connect with them.
Chanel specifically mentioned Keiarna Stewart from Real Housewives of Atlanta, describing her as having a “full-on poker face” during their encounter, despite Chanel’s friendly demeanor.
First, Chanel named Real Housewives of Atlanta star Keiarna Stewart, who, according to Chanel, was “full-on poker face” when Chanel smiled at her.
“I think she thinks she’s Beyonce or some s**t,” said Chanel, via @housewivesfromahousewife on Instagram. “I know for sure, b**ch, you’re not f**king Beyonce. Smile back when somebody smiles.”
“I don’t know what’s going on with her. I know nothing about her. I haven’t seen anything she’s done that’s iconic,” she continued. “Keiarna just stands there, doesn’t even say hi [when I was speaking to Karen Huger] … I was like, b**ch you ain’t that s**t. Chill the f**k out.”
She also claimed that Real Housewives of Orange County’s Katie Ginella wasn’t the friendliest.
“I would also like try to smile to her, and she was just full-on like this…” said Chanel, imitating a blank expression. “But then I understand later on … she didn’t film half of the season … They cut her out, or something like that. There was a lot of accusatory stuff … [so] maybe BravoCon was very overwhelming for her.”
In an interview for Scheananigans, host Scheana Shay informed Chanel that Sonja posted a photo with Chanel but tagged Kiki. Scheana said she was “side-eyeing” Sonja over it.
“What?” asked Chanel. “When did this happen?”
“So it was right after she had posted another photo with Kiki,” said Scheana. “Do you think this was an honest mistake, or do you think she really thought you and Kiki were the same person in different outfits?”
“The way I know Sonja, I know it was not done in malicious way. I just know her like that. But also, Kiki is such a beautiful girl, and we’re the same height, so maybe I could see why she confused me for Kiki. But, Sonja, not every Black person is the same,” said Chanel, laughing.
