Caroline Stanbury shared footage of the castle where her mom grew up after co-star Lesa Milan claimed her house in Miami is millions of dollars more expensive than the current home of Caroline’s parents. Around the same time, Lesa shared that she “bribe[s]” her kids $1,000 per episode they film.

The online battle started last week after Caroline declared that none of her Real Housewives of Dubai castmates could afford her mother’s house, which was recently put on the market. In response, Lesa said her own house in Florida is over $5 million more than Caroline’s mom’s place in the Cotswolds, England.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Caroline posted two black-and-white aerial videos of a sprawling castle surrounded by trees.

“My [mum’s] house where she grew up,” wrote Caroline in the caption, seemingly clapping back at Lesa’s claim that she owns a more expensive property in Florida.

Meanwhile, Lesa revealed that she bribes her children to appear on the show.

“I have to pay my kids,” she shared on Melissa Gorga’s On Display podcast, via @MrMentionItAll on X. “So my bribe to them is [that] any episode you’re in, you guys get paid … each a thousand dollars per episode.”

“That’s just me as a mom, because they’re working,” said Lesa. 

Melissa then shared her reaction.

“I mean, that’s really nice…” said the Real Housewives of New Jersey star. “I don’t want my kids to listen to this.”

Last week, amid her and Caroline’s online war, Lesa shared her thoughts on X.

“I can’t stand these fake rich, real broke people speaking on what I can and cannot afford!” she wrote at the time, addressing Caroline’s claim that she couldn’t afford her mom’s house. “I [don’t] live my life for social media – my house in Miami (that I own cash) is under contract for $7.5M – her [parents’] house is around $2M at best! It kills her that I’m a black girl w/ money!”

“I love the Cotswolds but let’s not compare,” she went on, “unless you really want to [Stanbury].”

The Real Housewives of Dubai airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
