Shantel from *AllAboutTRH* asked Reza directly: > **“Mike — who was previously on Shahs with you — was on social media visibly upset he wasn’t asked to be on the show, saying the show cannot be duplicated, calling himself an OG. What is your response to that?”** Reza Farahan responded with a brutally honest — and hilarious — take: > **“My response to that is that was tame compared to what I would have said if I was the Mike and he was the Reza. I would have to move. I would move to Uganda. I would be out of here. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it. It would be like I would feel like I was losing something that was so special to me, and everyone else was still getting to experience it. I would be in like an insane asylum. I’d be medicated. That was tame compared to what I would have done.”** Co-host Shantel then followed up, asking whether Reza felt bad for some of the former cast members who are no longer part of the franchise. ![Reza Farahan Says Mike Shouhed Is Bitter & Agitated Over Being Left Off The Valley](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-22-at-8.38.35-PM.png) > **“Do you feel bad for some of them that are not back on the show?”** Reza didn’t hesitate to single out Mike Shouhed in his response: > **“Especially him, because clearly he’s agitated and feeling some sort of way. He’s the OG. He called me to talk about it and he was sounding delusional. And I was like, ‘Oh, Mike, I feel really bad, but I don’t think the post lands the way you think you’re landing. I think people are gonna take it as you’re bitter.’ And he did not feel that way. He thought people were going to understand where he’s going from.”** > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT0Wb11DZk1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)[A post shared by AllAboutTRH Podcast??
