That “Peace In The Middle East” Halloween party that Reza Farahan threw on the last Shahs of Sunset episode was beyond outrageous. He had to know that it wasn’t going to go over well with the fandom.
So of course Reza had to answer for that unusual theme and his “F*ck Iran” comment that he made when he and Shervin Roohparvar were Andy Cohen’s guests on Watch What Happens Live.
After pointing out the menorah, hanging animal carcasses, piles of money, and themed cocktails, Andy couldn’t help asking, “Is any of this not offensive?” Reza clearly didn’t think so since he said, “Andy, look at me. You know me and what I say. Is that offensive for me?” Andy replied with, “I don’t know.” All Shervin had to say was, “I didn’t take offense. I didn’t come up with the theme either.”
Andy wasn’t done with the tough questions though. He told Reza, “Talk to me about the ‘F Iran’ thing. ” Reza explained, “So I’m gay. Iran kills, stones, hangs, and lashes young, gay teens to death on a regular basis. So do I want to say ‘F’ the grandmother who takes care of her grand kids in Iran? Absolutely not. When I say ‘F,’ that place, I’m talking about the regime, the government, the religious dictatorship, not the beautiful citizens that I used to be one of.” Shervin served as the voice of reason (as usual) and said, “In all fairness, you said ‘F the country.'”
Moving on from world issues, Reza discussed Mercedes “MJ” Javid’s comments about Asa Soltan Rahmati giving birth to a child out of wedlock…while she herself is trying to conceive a child out of wedlock. Reza asked, “How are you calling someone else’s kid a bastard when you’re wanting to have a bastard?” Exactly.
A fan called in and asked Reza how he was able to forgive GG Gharachedaghi after she struck his husband Adam Neely and he actually had a very mature and logical response: “I was angry with her for a very long time and it was literally eating away at me. She was taking a lot of space in my head. It’s a lot of work being angry at someone you care about. At some point, it was like I can’t do this anymore. I either need to cut this bitch out of my life or I can’t do this anymore.”
On the After Show Shervin swears he’s not cheating on his current girlfriend even though Reza called him a manwhore.

TELL US – WAS REZA’S PARTY THEME OFFENSIVE? WAS HIS EXPLANATION FOR HIS ‘FUCK IRAN’ COMMENT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY IT OR DO YOU FIND IT OFFENSIVE?
