Mike and Destiney Just Spilled the Tea on the Shahs of Sunset Season 9 Reunion
Mike Shouhed and Destiney Rose tease what to expect from the Season 9 reunion.
If you thought there couldn't be any more dramatic turns during Season 9 of Shahs of Sunset, well, think again. The cast recently gathered to film the reunion, and it sounds like no topic was left unspoken. In fact, Mike Shouhed offered up a small tease of the upcoming reunion when he appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week.
He described it as "super effing nuts" before sharing how he recovered from the events of the day. "The reunion was insane. I left and I took a nap from 8 o'clock that night when I got home 'til 10 o'clock the next morning, and I never sleep in. I was drained. And I came home and took another nap when I got home that day," he said. "Someone's ugly side came out during the reunion, and you're gonna see it."
WWHL and reunion host Andy Cohen asked, "Do you wanna say who?" "Lochnesa," Mike answered, referring to Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi's nickname.
Before the reunion was taped, GG did make one request of Andy on Twitter, and she also teased that she would share more insight into her drama with Nema Vand at the season-ending sit-down. We'll have to wait and see how that all turned out, but it's interesting to hear Mike's tease about GG's demeanor now that the reunion has wrapped.
Looking for more reunion scoop? No problem! Destiney Rose opened up about the reunion taping in a recent phone interview with The Daily Dish, sharing how the experience differed from the virtual Season 8 reunion.
"You know, this is the first reunion since COVID that we’re actually seeing each other in the same room to do the reunion. Last year we did on Zoom. So we had this giddy feeling but also a feeling of, 'Oh my god, wait, how did this go?' It was one of those things where it’s familiar, but it’s unfamiliar. But let me tell you, this reunion is going to be very, very, very lit. There’s a lot of things that I didn’t say while we were filming to try to, I don’t want to use that word, but to try not to cause chaos, more chaos, in Paulina [Ben-Cohen]’s life. But I will say at the reunion, there was only so much I could take," she explained. "It’s definitely going to be a really good reunion."
As fans have seen throughout Season 9, Mike and Destiney have definitely not been seeing eye to eye, especially since she is friends with Mike's girlfriend, Paulina. And the two Shahs of Sunset cast members continued to hash out their issues during the reunion. "See, the thing about Mike is, he knows that I am an ego assassinator," Destiney said. "I don’t like anyone around me that lives in the place of ego. I don’t like it, I never have."
Destiney also recently spoke to The Daily Dish podcast, teasing that there are "truth bombs" that she shared during the sit-down. Still, she said, "There was nerves, for sure, because there's a lot of things going on that I definitely needed to address."
One of those topics is where she stands with Paulina. "You're gonna see it in the reunion, but it's crazy to me how I'm in this situation which I didn't ask for, by the way. I'm in this situation trying to be a good soul and be there for someone. And that someone being Paulina," Destiney said. "And it sucks, because I was the one that was getting all the heat and all the nastiness when in all reality, I was just trying to be there for someone. And let's be very clear, which you will see in the reunion, I call bulls--t."
