Last week, Real Housewives of Melbourne star Gamble Breaux told Nova's Fitzy & Wippa that the Real Housewives of Beverley Hills - in particular, Lisa Vanderpump - had labelled the RHOMelbourne cast as 'stalkers' for showing up at the same venue in Dubai.
"Both of us were in Dubai, at the same time as the Beverly Hills girls," Breaux told Fitzy & Wippa.
She then added: "When we were in Dubai, Beverly Hills called us 'stalkers.' The hotel must have sent a shout out to Real Housewives franchises and got both there at the same time," Gamble explained.
Breaux said Lydia Schiavello was the first one on the receiving end of the insult, before Lisa Vanderpump took a shot at Gina Liano.
"Lydia was saying goodbye to one of her friends at 3am, and apparently when they [the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast] were coming into the hotel they thought that she'd been sitting outside the hotel waiting for them all night, which she hadn't."
Gamble continued: "So she got called a stalker. Then Gina said hello to Lisa Vanderpump, who she has met before at her restaurant, and she got called a 'stalker'."
Lisa Vanderpump and Gina Liano took to Twitter and denied Gamble's claims.

@neilk1 @HoneyLaBreathet @LisaVanderpump @VanderpumpPets absolutely NOT true. See daily mail tomorrow where I set the record straight xxx— Gina Liano (@Gina_Liano) April 13, 2016
Shortly after, Liano told The Daily Mail Australia that Gamble's on air revelations were "absolutely not true."
"Gamble wasn't there when she was quoting Lydia," said the 49-year-old Barrister. "I think Gamble gets an excitable imagination. I've heard her on more than one occasion not wanting to ruin a good story for the truth. She does like to embellish."
"I don't know if it's part of her humor or what it is, but she definitely takes things and puts a different spin on them," she added.
Gina went onto explain the situation, saying Lydia Schiavello had crossed paths with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies who had also been filming in Dubai.
"What happened was that we had a private function up stairs at the Palms...and Lydia had a girlfriend of hers visiting," the mother-of-two revealed to The Daily Mail Australia.
"Lydia was walking her [her friend] out and it was about 11 O'clock at night, and the Beverly Hills Housewives were just arriving back from the desert. They had been filming out there. Lydia actually said "hello" to them all and Lisa Vanderpump saw her she said "hi"."
"Lydia said, "how are you going?". She was pleasant. Lisa actually asked, "Is Gina here?". Lydia said, "yes, she is up stairs". And Lisa said, "send her my love". When Lydia came up stairs she told me that. And Kyle [RHOBH co-star] invited us back to her room from what I understand."
Gina went on to add that Gamble had taken a swipe at her on more than one occasion on social media and in the press.
"She told people that I was dying and caused a lot of distress and that is another example of exaggerating a story," she said.
"I had one of my stylist burst into tears. She actually thought I was dying in hospital in Sydney and they were all worrying. She then said that Rick saved my life. I don't know how an eye surgeon saved my life. It stemmed from a message to her saying that I wasn't well."
@RHObsessed nonsense @Gina_Liano love her.— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) April 15, 2016
Gamble Breaux has since gone onto her Twitter to apologize to her co-star GIna Liano and Lisa Vanderpump, saying: "Sorry Lisa and Gina my mistake! I was caught up in the gossip mill and shouldn't have repeated it! My sincere apologies!"
