Real Housewives of Dubai alum Chanel Ayan is starstruck after meeting her favorite star from the sitcom Friends, Lisa Kudrow, at the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards.
The actress, known by many for her role as Phoebe Buffay, met Chanel Ayan and couldn’t help but share her excitement to meet the glamorous RHODubai personality.
Chanel Ayan took to social media to boast about her run-in. “Huge FRIENDS fan! Met Lisa Kudrow tonight and she told me I’m her favorite from RHODubai.”
“Don’t talk to me for 24 hours. PERIOD DOT,” joked Ayan.
ICYMI, Lisa Kudrow told Andy Cohen that she’s a Real Housewives superfan on Watch What Happens Live earlier this year. Andy asked the Romy and Michele actress about RHOBH. She warned him he probably “didn’t want to know.”
“You don’t want me to discuss it,” Lisa teased before finally giving in. “I’m just gonna say black Mercedes Sprinter. Twins,” she said on the May 11 episode. “Caught that.”
Andy didn’t let the mouse go, later insisting Dorit left her co-stars behind.
