Mike Shouhed seemingly shaded the new Shahs of Sunset spinoff, The Valley: Persian Style, and he revealed if he’ll be making an appearance. Out of the original cast, only Mercedes Javid, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, and Reza Farahan are main castmates on the new show.
In 2022, Mike faced criminal charges amid allegations of domestic violence. Soon after, news broke that Shahs of Sunset was put on pause. Some fans have speculated that Mike’s arrest led to the show’s cancellation, though others have denied it.
On January 12, Mike shared a photo of himself from a past episode of Watch What Happens Live.
“Can not be duplicated,” wrote Mike on Instagram, seemingly throwing shade at the new spinoff. He then referred to himself as an “OG.”

Last week, a fan asked Mike if he would make an appearance on The Valley: Persian Style.
“No,” he answered.
“Period!!!” responded fan account @fuego419. “I love you @mikeshouhed.”
Mike ‘liked’ the post and replied, “Love you too.” He then liked a comment from a fan who wrote, “There is only one Mike like you period my friend! Much love and positivity.”
Recently, BravoTV shared a description of the new show.
“A spinoff of ‘The Valley,’ this series follows a tight-knit group of Persian friends who have traded Beverly Hills for suburban life in the Valley. As they juggle marriages, parenthood and thriving careers, cracks in their relationships – both between lovers and friends – begin to emerge,” said the description. “Rooted in their culture that values family, friendships and loyalty above everything else, emotions often take over as these fiery personalities navigate their highs, lows and everything in between.”
“The cast includes Reza Farahan & Adam Farahan, Golnesa Gharachedaghi, Mercedeh Javid & Tommy Feight, Tanin Nikpey & Greg Haroutunian, Sky Asakari & Bamshad Akbar, Natasha & Amir Boroumand, and Reza Jackson,” the description continued.
The Valley premiered on the network in 2024. It features some castmates from Vanderpump Rules, as well as certain ‘newbies.’ All original cast members from Pump Rules were fired in 2024, replaced by a completely new cast.
New episodes of The Valley: Persian Style air on Thursday nights on Bravo.
