The "Real Housewives of Dubai" is helping a brutal dictatorship hide its crimes behind a wall of luxury propaganda.


On June 1st, 2022, Andy Cohen and Bravo TV are launching a new edition of the Real Housewives franchise -- the "Real Housewives of Dubai." This reality TV series amounts to luxury propaganda that will help a brutal dictatorship hide its many crimes.

Dubai is a part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a dictatorship with a horrible record of violence against women and homophobic policies:

  • Kidnapping women:  The ruler of Dubai kidnapped his own adult daughters and has held one of them in drugged captivity for over 20 years.
  • Rape:  A top member of the UAE ruling family still hasn't been investigated or prosecuted after being accused of rape by British national Caitlin McNamara.
  • War: The rulers of Dubai and the UAE have helped kill thousands of women through their war in next-door Yemen.  
  • Homophobia:  UAE maintains homophobic laws that put LGBTQ communities at risk of persecution and prison.

Tell Andy Cohen and the producer of "Real Housewives of Dubai" to end their silence and condemn the brutal rulers of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.

The "Real Housewives of Dubai" is #DictatorTV -- luxury propaganda that helps the rulers of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hide their terrible human rights record.

We urge you to take the following immediate actions:

1. CONDEMN the UAE dictatorship's violence against women, homophobia, and horrifying violence in Yemen.

2. REVEAL whether the UAE dictatorship funded the Real Housewives of Dubai in any way.

3. EDUCATE Real Housewives fans about the UAE and Dubai’s dismal human rights record.

4. DONATE your #RHODubai profits to human rights groups that are working to stop the UAE and Dubai rulers' human rights violations.
