Sara Al Madani's son Maktoum is safe and sound after a scary incident involving her former maid.
The Real Housewives of Dubai star revealed the ex-employee secretly let strangers into their home when she wasn't there amid other suspicious behavior.
"My maid, for the past six months, has been closing the cameras in the house, bringing multiple men," Al Madani told friends Nina Ali and Saba Yussouf during the Bravo series' Aug. 20 episode. "The men asked her for my picture and his picture, the times where we go out, when do we come back. On her phone, there's pictures of people in her room with alcohol."
Maktoum, 9, added he and his mom had since been to the police station three times to report the woman, whose name and identity they kept anonymous.
In a confessional, Al Madani elaborated on the scary situation.
"There are texts of these men commenting on pictures of my son saying, 'Oh my god, he's cute. We love his hair. We love his skin,'" the entrepreneur explained. "And these men were asking her, 'What time does he come home? Who waits for him? Do they have money?' I mean, all these questions indicate one thing: Kidnap, ransom. Right now, I'm dealing with a court case, police case, my son traumatized."
And when Al Madani fired the woman, the reality star said she caught the housekeeper trying to steal her personal belongings, including jewelry, her mom's earrings and even her underwear.
Later, the cast gathered to watch a polo match and Al Madani told her costars more frightening details after the maid's arrest.
"I go through the WhatsApp messages," she recounted. "The man's like, 'What time does the kid go to school? Who picks him up? How does he look like? Send me a picture.'"
"It's disgusting because the guy's like, 'Send me the boy's picture,'" she added. "He said, 'Oh, the boy's beautiful.' I was like, 'Excuse me?!' I was like, 'Go to jail, I'm sorry.'"
E! News has reached out to local authorities to confirm the arrest but has yet to hear back.
The Real Housewives of Dubai airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
