She Says He's Just a Friend — Caroline Stanbury On "Ridiculous" Sugar Daddy Rumors (EXCLUSIVE)

What traits make up a perfect Real Housewife? Glamour, an obscene amount of money, and a penchant for well-timed shade are likely what most fans would say. Viewers love watching the audacious women of Bravo duke it out in their designer shoes and have since The Real Housewives of Orange County premiered in 2006.

The most recent addition to the Real Housewives universe, The Real Housewives of Dubai, has a cast of women who exemplify those traits, and Caroline Stanbury stands out amongst them.

Caroline has been a great source of entertainment in the second season of RHODubai. Her marriage to her much younger husband, Sergio Carrallo, is clearly not one that's meant to last, some say.

Despite that, her young hubby is on a mission to have a baby, and Caroline seems entirely unenthusiastic about the idea. There is plenty of other drama revolving around her as well, as her ongoing feud with Caroline Brooks caused Brooks to throw a low blow, claiming Stanbury has a sugar daddy tucked away.

In an exclusive interview with Distractify, the Ladies of London alum set the record straight and clapped back at her former friend.

Caroline Brooks made a recent appearance on Page Six's podcast "Virtual Reali-Tea," where she had no problems divulging her feelings and thoughts about her chosen nemesis Caroline Stanbury.

During the interview, Brooks asserted that Stanbury, despite being married, had a sugar daddy paying for her lifestyle. Brooks said this information was divulged in a drunken rant, "He was like, ‘I pay all the bills in that house. I pay for everything.'” The real question is, is this story from Brooks true? According to Stanbury, absolutely not.

Caroline exclusively told Distractify that the rumors about her are completely untrue. She also suggested Brooks spread the rumor to shield what was going on in her own life.

"The sugar daddy thing is ridiculous," she said. "I think somebody might be projecting."

Brooks divulged that the drunken rant she heard was from none other than Michael Davis. Fans know Michael as one of Caroline's best friends. He is also the person who housed Caroline and Sergio in his home while they awaited the completion of their new home, and had to deal with the frequent sounds of their intimacy.

Between his clear annoyance on the show and Caroline's shared account of his alleged rant to her, it's highly unlikely that he'd be considered a sugar daddy; he's just way too nice and caring a friend.

Caroline also confirmed on X in a July 2024 that the rumor wasn't true. She explained how using her platforms, like social media and her podcast, Uncut and Uncensored with Caroline Stanbury, allows her to freely share details about who she is outside of the show, including "how I conduct myself or how I make my money."

Caroline said that, in a perfect world, her co-stars would listen to her podcast to understand her and her humor better.

"I feel misunderstood on the show," she admitted. "I don't feel that they've made the effort, nor do they want to, but that's fine."

She added, "I'm also older, and also another group of watch Ladies of London, as far as I can tell."
