Garcelle Ignores Kyle’s Texts, Sutton’s True Thoughts on Garcelle’s Exit, Erika’s PTSD & Dorit/Kyle's Last Chance
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part Two has come and gone and hunni it did not disappoint. Andy holds Kyle’s feet to the flame over she who shall not be mentioned. Jennifer Tilly eats on stage - a first? - and reminds us how rich she is. Speaking of rich, Kathy Hilton reminds us why she should not be crossed. Garcelle becomes more annoyed at the Diamond Holders by the minute. Erika says very little, so little that we wonder if this is the foreshadowing which has led to her exit rumors next season. Sutton and Dorit face off in an epic showdown which reminds us how low brow it apparently is to live on a main f’ing road - even if it is in Bel Air, being called poor is apparently worse in Bev Hills than being called a see you next… and that Dorit is seemingly the only person on stage that is not afraid to call people out while simultaneously amusing Andy Cohen all within the course of a few sentences. In other news, Garcelle has not texted Kyle back, may never speak to anyone from this cast ever again and prepares to walk off in as dramatic a fashion as possible next week as the season concludes. Sutton looks ahead to a season without Garcelle and more cast shakeup rumors arise which need to be broken down separating lots of true facts from insane fan fiction. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Bronwyn Newport allegedly has a criminal past involving grand theft, identity theft and much more as someone - Lisa Barlow is that you? - leaks this info to the press conveniently as RHOSLC Season 5 filming heats up. Now that Kenya Moore has exited the RHOA building, Brit takes center stage but the audience revolts. Angela Oakley slams Wendy Williams’ claim that Charles Oakley fathered a kid outside the marriage. Nene Leakes’ new podcast / YouTube or whatever it was seems to have already faded into oblivion.

With all that is going in Teresa’s life with her new normal of being married to someone who has a $2.7M tax debt and $1.25M personal loan, we find today the perfect day to offer some divorce advice to Ms. Giudice and share a financial, romantic and career plan for the future. Albeit unsolicited, we suggest she listen. In other RHONJ news, we address all the stories that have come out over the past few weeks regarding Jennifer Aydin - she let Tre borrow $500K - her and Bill have declared bankruptcy - breaking down the true origins of the stories, separating truth from fiction and reveal the details behind Ms. Aydin’s recent dinner with the TreHugger’s Queen. Finally, Erika Jayne seems to be up to her old tricks, no pun intended, as she faces new legal troubles and, as the RHOBH season closes out, prepares for what may be a rough Season 15 when production begins later this year. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle Reveals Dorit’s Job “At Risk”, Garcelle Labeled Dangerous, Sutton's Fear of Kyle & Garcelle’s FU To EJ
The RHOBH Reunion has finally arrived and it did not disappoint. Garcelle did not come to play calling out Kyle for not showing or talking about Morgan all season, Sutton for playing both sides of the fence when it came to her and Kyle, Dorit and PK for their home invasion and, of course, Erika who she wants to go F herself. Sutton felt blindsided, Boz mentioned lawsuits and Andy looked on shocked as Erika called Garcelle boring. In other RHOBH news, Lisa RInna reveals her RHOBH PTSD, has a stern new message for Andy Cohen, shades Garcelle and claims the fans’ bullying drove her to hand her diamond back in. Speaking of Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards says she is still not over the fall out of her twenty year friendship with Rinna. Erika Jayne gets closer to a court date to answer for the 24M Tom stole from the victims and may be facing a default judgement in her now infamous lawsuit by Marco Marco. Finally, Brit Eady admits on air to weapons and whips, Kenya prepares for her RHOA exit next week and you, the audience declare you will no longer watch RHOA due to this entire debacle which seemingly favors a newbie over an OG who has given us more shade, sound bites and twirling than we can even remotely recount. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Teresa May Lose RHONJ Due To Tax Liens, Slams "Horrible" Bethenny & Lies About a Few Things
With all the talk about Teresa and Luis’ tax liens, million dollar plus loans, TikTok QR bar codes to scan, Vinivia lawsuits and more, it is shocking that no one is talking about the effect all of this will have on Teresa Giudice’s future on RHONJ, assuming RHONJ ever returns to our Bravo screens, which is a big assumption, and / or a spin off. No one has been talking about that until now because, here, today, we break all of this down and things are not at all what they seem. In other RHONJ news, Teresa slams Bethenny as “horrible”, Bethenny claps back - kinda and also, at the same time, cannot even remotely be bothered. Gia announces her plans, to no ones surprise, to pause law school. RHONJ Producers watch RHOA closely for ideas on how to possibly integrate a future old/new cast. All this and more as the denial, delusion and pure twilight zone behavior continues as we close out this epic week and head into the weekend.

Gia Giudice Slams Bethenny & Acts Clueless Like Teresa, Rumors of Feds To Target Tre & Tre Blames Marge/Melissa
Despite the headlines that have gone viral worldwide over Teresa and Luis’ approximate $3 Million Dollar Tax Lien and $1.25 Million Dollar Unpaid Loan, Teresa remains in her love love love bubble claiming, “everything is under control”, Luis is a smart businessman who “has things together” and that she is not even remotely concerned about his, or her, finances. Well, alrighty then. The TreHuggers’ Queen hath spoken. In other news, Tre blames me, you, the RHONJ bloggers, the fans, the media, Marge “The Sarge” Josephs, The Gorgas and anyone and everyone else for the recent headlines and financial, and possibly legal, mess that she is in. Everyone except Luis, of course. Rumors of the Feds potential involvement arises, Bethenny speaks out again and last, but certainly not least, Tre’s Mini Me Gia reminds us all how hard Tre works, how amazing a Step Dad Luis is and just where Bethenny Frankel and her TikTok can go and it aint’ pretty. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Garcelle’s Next Moves, Sutton’s Difficult Upcoming Season, Tre's Trolls & The Real Housewives of Rhode Island
Garcelle Beauvais has exited the RHOBH building. We break down the reasons for her exit, the casts' reactions, Andy’s thoughts, which, if any, of our fav Diamond Holders are her real friends, Garcelle’s next carer move, the truth behind her love life and answer the question on everyone’s mind, whether she resigned or was asked to leave. Let’s be honest here today! Sutton has an upcoming difficult season in desperate need of someone to be hired as her friend. Alternatively, Kyle could step up and have her back against RHOBH’s new power trio - Dorit, Erika and Boz. Rumors about Andy Cohen’s future at Bravo resurface - yes again, again as we prepare for the announcement of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Last, but certainly not least, Teresa’s TreHuggers continue to troll anyone and everyone who doesn’t bow down at the alter to their, dare we say, Queen. @psychicsource @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Teresa Allegedly Bullies Bloggers Over Tax Bill, Bethenny Slams Luis' Fake Money, Dolo Claps Back & RHONJ’s Future Effected - II
Earlier this week, Luis Ruelas $2.7 Million Dollar Tax Bill came to light. We chatted about this shocking revelation. Since then, many new facts have arisen regarding Mr. Ruelas which we discuss here today and break down exactly how one man ends up with a 2.7 million dollar tax lien. Also, since then, Teresa Giudice has been hit with a 300k tax lien, leaving this couple with over 3 million dollars owed to the IRS. We go fact by fact addressing the mounting financial and legal troubles that currently exist against the Ruelas-Giudices. In other news, Luis has gotten an extension on a $1 million dollar loan he took out last year, just took out an additional $250K loan and seems to be asking for money on TikTok. Allegedly. Bethenny Frankel weighs in slamming Tre, Luis and the entire RHONJ franchise. Jen Fessler claps back. Shockingly, so does Dolores Catania and, in a strange turn of events, this could all have a very unexpected effect on not only RHONJ’s future, but the possibility of a Teresa / Luis spin off. Way to bury the lead…. PART TWO Starts Now! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Louie Ruelas Accused of New TikTok “Scams”, Nene Leakes’ Good /Bad News & Candiace Dillard’s RHOP Return
Nene Leakes is having a good and bad month all at once. Her new podcast has already been shelved, stopped and put on the back burner. That said, Miss Leakes has announced her new very own solo YouTube show. We have been down this road before with Nene but so far the show seems to be going well as Nene’s bid to return to RHOA grows stronger. Speaking of RHOA, this new season continues to shine with Shamea the fan fav breakout, Brit shunned by the cast and fans and Kenya promising we have not seen the last of her. #staytuned Rumors gain traction that Candiace Dillard will be returning to RHOP when it is taken off pause. Louie Ruelas is accused of new TikTok “scams”, a whole slew of new Bravo shows are expected to drop next month and Ryan Reynolds makes a motion to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit against him as more strange facts about Blake Lively arise by the hour. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week we had a run in with Morgan Wade, a sighting out in the wild. Today, we break down that tete a tete, discuss the Kyle and Teddi of it all and explain what happens next. Speaking of Miss Wade, Garcelle continues to question Kyle to come out, come out wherever she is and tell us, because you are on a reality show, what is really going on. Erika Jayne points out that Garcelle shares nothing about her own life and the rest of the diamond holders continue to break up and make up which leads to our discussion on just who will and will not be back next season on RHOBH. Terry Durbow reveals shocking new info, Tamra Judge continues to film the new season of RHOC and last, but certainly not least, Bethenny Frankel offers divorce, co-parenting and life advice to Kim Kardashian as Kim’s situation with Kanye gets stranger and more bizarre by the day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra Judge's Staged Drama, Craig Conover Becomes The New Teresa Giudice & Lala Kent / Ex Assistant Update
In a move that we certainly did not expect, Craig Conover becomes the new Teresa Giudice with a cast, as evidenced by the Southern Charm Reunion, that is afraid to work with, speak back to or cross him. It is Craig’s way or the highway and that seems to apply not just to his SC cast mates but to ex GF Paige DeSorbo who is spilling the piping hot tea on what dating Craig was really like. Tamra Judge is back to work on the OC as if she never had a breakdown, claimed her mental health was at jeopardy and ran away from a cast trip as fast as you can blink. What really caused Tamra’s exit and was it all staged for attention and publicity? Four new Bravo Pods have dropped and we have the tea on all of them. Erin Lichy, Brynn Whitfield, Gia Giudice and Michelle Saniei, we are taking to you. Lala Kent and her ex assistant are speaking out again regarding their breakup and we are so here for it. Finally, RHOM is on the verge of returning with a new cast and trailer that is expected to drop in 3,2,1… @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Andy Cohen breaks his silence, responds and makes his official statement regarding the rumors, and nastiness, that he will be stepping down from Bravo next month. Louie Ruelas is rumored to be hit with a new $2.7 million dollar tax bill, receipts and all. Teresa fails to respond to these new alleged financial and legal woes of her loving husband, but does talk more about her RHONJ future come early next year. Speaking of RHONJ, Kathy Wakile hangs out with Margaret Josephs and, with everything else in her life going fine, leaves the internet to wonder, is she ready for and preparing to return to RHONJ. Joey Gorga faces set backs this week but solves his problems rapidly, RHOA continues to dazzle with Shamea the star and Sonja Morgan talks new BS which, shocker, does not make any sense at all. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Garcelle & Sutton’s Friendship Cracks, Erika Slams Sutton The Enemy & Teresa’s Recent Call w/ Danielle Staub
Garcelle and Sutton’s friendship starts to crack over Sutton’s blind loyalty towards Kyle. Erika Jayne slams Sutton as fake asking who is the real Sutton - the kind, apologetic say all the right things at times socialite or the woman who kicks women, or at the very least kicks our fav diamond holders, when they are down. In other words, Erika would like to know if Sutton is a friend or a foe. Garcelle tells EJ to F Off. Boz calls Dorit out on her shiz while still seeing the world of RHOBH through rose colored glasses completely unaware of what is coming for her several seasons from now. Jennifer Tilly flaunts her wealth, inadvertently. Kathy Hilton offers words of wisdom. Dorit and Sutton apologize to each other only to start fighting again and so much more in a tumultuous week of ups and downs in the 90210. Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice reveals new info about the future of RHONJ and details a recent call / text with the one and only Danielle Staub. Porsha and Kenya reunite, Drew acts clueless as Porsha reads her for filth and Shamea shares the advice that Kandi gave her after securing her peach. Finally, 4 new Bravo Podcasts are announced which not one person has asked for. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Andy Cohen Gets Involved In Tamra’s RHOC Future, Brittany Slams Jax As a Liar & RHOP Pauses
As we prepare for Season Two of The Valley, now that the trailer dropped last week, Brittany Cartwright slams Jax as a liar who is misrepresenting many facts, as an insensitive person who throws his sexual escapades in her face and as someone who may not be as committed to his newfound sobriety as he claims. Tamra Judge walked out of RHOC, Andy Cohen got involved to talk her off a ledge, Kelly Dodd weighed in, the cast reacted with eye rolls and mixed emotions and, of course, Tamra returned days later. Mia Thornton claims she quit RHOP, shares some new lies and throws her hat into the ring to join RHOA since that is where she lives full time - thank you Gizelle. Speaking of RHOA, they are off to a great start this season - newbies, friendship break ups and make ups and money hunni - even though fans have mixed feelings about the diminished role of one trending Miss Kenya Moore. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Andy Cohen Allegedly Stepping Down, Tamra Judge Rumored To Work w/ Bloggers “Teresa” Style & RHOP Delayed
Rumors and nastiness have arisen again regarding Andy Cohen’s future at Bravo. Sources are talking, yet again, and saying that a major announcement regarding Andy’s future at the network is coming next month and that he will be stepping down. Not so fast. We break down why Andy would ever step down - there are only three situations we can think of - what “stepping down” actually means in this situation, the likeliness these rumors are true, how, if at all, this would affect Real Housewives and / or Watch What Happens Live and oh, so very much more. In other news, Tamra Judge is accused of being the new Teresa Giudice and working with Bloggers and Podcasts to spin negative news about her cast mate enemies, and their spouses, while painting herself in a positive light angering RHOC producers over both true and fake Season 19 leaks. Finally, RHOP Season 10 is delayed as producers scramble for storylines now that The Grand Dame is in jail and Mia Thornton has seemingly “quit” and revisit old cast members in hopes of brining one back. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra Judge's New Grief, Gretchen & Shannon's Fake Alliance & Teddi Mellencamp Health / Divorce Update
There has been so much push back regarding Teddi Mellencamp’s recent activities about exactly what she should and should not be doing in light of her serious health diagnosis. Today, with the help of Empathic Medium Raquel, we break down the current state of Teddi’s health, discuss why people feel the need to weigh in and last, but certainly not least, analyze her supposed support system around her - Edwin, Kyle and Tamra - scrutinizing whether each of the aforementioned has her best interests, at all times, at heart. Speaking of Tamra, we discuss all that she is going through in light of her recent RHOC walk out, Andy Cohen’s involvement in her RHOC future, her current relationships with both Shannon and Gretchen, the likelihood of many reconciliations with RHOC cast past and present and her ultimate return to the show as an orange holder for Season 19. Finally, we discuss Kyle’s inevitable divorce from Mauricio, girlfriend Morgan and what we can expect as this season of RHOBH prepares to conclude and head into one explosive, epic, three part reunion. @psychicsource @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) SPOT & TANGO - spotandtango.com/velvetrope (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) JUNE’S JOURNEY (Download This Hidden Object Interactive Mobile Game Now on Android or iOS) AIR DOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code Velvet For Up To $300 Off Today The Best Air Purifier Voted By Newsweek) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-ve

Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case.

Erika’s Choice Between Kyle/Dorit, Lisa Barlow’s Dark Secret & RHONY’s New Cast
Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the RHONY reunion and Production is allegedly looking for new RHIONY cast members, we deep dive whether Brynn Whitfield will be fired and who else from the cast is likely to have to turn in their apple when the dust settles from this season. Kyle and Dorit’s friendship remains fractured but is it forever beyond repair? Who is more to blame and will Erika be able to remain neutral with no battle scares or will she have to, soon, choose a side? Whose side would EJ choose? Almost every friendship has been fractured thanks to Heather Gay and a series of text messages on RHOSLC despite a reunion that attempted to mend some of these fences. Production prepares to announce the new cast of RHOSLC as filming is expected to begin later this month. Finally, last but not least, Spencer and Heidi face certain challenges as all is not as it seems in the hills, no pun intended, as Speidi tries to rebuild their lives more so in the public eye in the past month than they have been over the last decade combined.

Gretchen's RHOC Return, Tamra's RHOC End & Jeff Lewis' Warning To Bravo
Gretchen Rossi is returning for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19. First we deal with the controversy that is already surrounding her return - whether she was offered and turned down a full time roll as she allegedly claims or was she only offered a friend role as a “secret” production source claims. Next we share all of our thoughts in Gretchen’s return and warn her what she should beware of. Then we analyze whether Gretchen is being brought back as a pawn Alexis Bellino style or to once and for all take out the current longest running housewife Tamra “TamRat” Judge. We break down whether the audience really wants to see the demise of Miss Judge or whether they love to hate her a la Ramona The Singer Stinger. We discuss the rest of the cast’s current relationship to Gretchen, their like or dislike of Tamra and why RHOC Season 19 is set to be one of the best in Orange Country history. Finally, in other news, Jeff Lewis has a stern warning for Bravo, opens up about why Flipping Out was really cancelled way back when and shares an update on his new show which may or may not ever see the light of day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

What Mauricio Did To Hurt Kyle, Dorit Drops Bombshell's About PK Separation & Danielle Cabral's Last Laugh
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 14, Episode 9. Beachy Keen, but is it? Kyle lies. Thank you Boz for stating the obvious and Erika too for declaring that she, and we, are possibly over this text from Kyle to PK. Dorit questions who the fu$k she has been married to, reveals PK’s sponsor broke up with her and declares, if PK wants a war, a war he shall get. Kyle gathers Sutton, Garcelle and EJ for allies before heading to Garcelle’s beach house for the weekend, Sutton holds Kyle’s feet to the fire, Erika reminds us she is a girls girl and Kyle and Dorit make amends, sort of, for now. The RHOBH midseason trailer has exploded onto our screens with a bang - Mo apologizes to Kyle for hurting her, PK tries to divorce Dorit before 10 years to avoid splitting assets, Sutton gets kicked out of Dorit’s house for calling her a bit$h, Kathy walks the runway, Sutton’s Mom tells off Garcelle and so much more as we wait in anticipation for the second half of the season. In other news, Danielle Cabral kills it with the best internet video possibly ever taking down Jennifer Aydin, promoting a response from Margaret Josephs and leaving the resting of us begging for… more please! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Introducing: Dinner's On Me
Hey, Behind the Velvet Rope listeners! I’m dropping in with something I know you’re going to love. You know Jesse Tyler Ferguson, right? Modern Family’s Mitch, Broadway star, and all-around delightful human? Well, Jesse’s got an amazing podcast called Dinner’s On Me where he takes celebrity guests out for dinner at some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles and New York City. It’s like being a fly on the wall for the most fun and fascinating conversations. The conversations? Juicy. Fun. And always filled with surprises. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to listen in on dinner with Lisa Kudrow? That’s right, —Jesse recently sat down with none other than Friends legend Lisa Kudrow and they got into something fascinating: how Lisa played Ursula, the quirky waitress from Mad About You , even before she landed the role of Phoebe on Friends . When Friends came along, NBC didn’t want to lose Lisa’s magic on Mad About You , so they made Phoebe and Ursula twin sisters to connect the two shows. It’s such an amazing bit of TV history, and of course, only someone like Lisa could pull it off. To hear more about Lisa’s time on Friends and Mad About You , plus the fascinating career moments that only Lisa could have, head over to Dinner’s On Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

As we head into the new year, Happy 2025, we figured it a great time to break down and analyze whether Bravo has a double standard when it comes to crimes, misbehavior and bad acts by its talent.

Mauricio and PK have plans for Dorit and Kyle’s future, Kyle is prepared for her biggest breakdown in her RHOBH history and RHOBH friendships shift as we head into the rest of the season.

Joan Rivers, Madonna & Saying Whatever The F$ck You Want (w/ Judy Gold)
Judy Gold steps Behind The Rope. Comedic legend, one of the funniest women, hell one of the funniest people we know here Behind The Velvet Rope. Originally from New Jersey (we knew we liked her for a reason), Judy mentions it all. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with Judy who talks NYC, cancel culture, comedy and celebrity. Judy chats about her time as Emmy Award Winning Writer and Producer of the Rosie O’Donnell show. We discuss what working with Rosie was like and, of course, needed all the details about that time Madonna was on the Rosie show, right after Lourdes was born, and held Judy’s very own son Henry pretending it was Lourdes. Confused? Just listen. Finally, we discuss Judy’s Number One Comedic Inspiration, Miss Joan Rivers, the Icon herself. Get ready to laugh people. Judy Gold!! Oh yea, Happy New Year. @jewdygold @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ACORNS - acorns.com/velvetrope ( Head To acorns.com/velvetrope Or Download the Acorns App To Start Saving & Investing Today) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Analyzing Andy’s Statement That RHONJ Wont Return Til 2026 & Which NJ Cast Members Are Starting to “Lose It"
Andy Cohen clearly stated last week that he, Bravo and any and all powers that be will not even begin to start thinking about the next season of RHONJ until 2026. With absolutely nothing happening on the RHONJ front for, at best, a little over a year, we break down Andy’s statement, discuss what this means for every cast member from last season, who we think is handling this time off / pause the best, who is starting to unravel with this break, recent biz ventures from cast members such as Melissa’s sprinkle cookies and Teresa’s lip kits, who is handling this better on their respective podcasts - Melissa or Teresa, which cast members are financially alright and which are feeling the loss in their bank accounts and so very much more. We also offer words of encouragement, advice and a clear plan to all cast members of how to rebrand now that their boss has basically told them they have an entire year, at the very least, to forget they were ever on RHONJ or Bravo and find other things to occupy their time. The five stages of grief are in full effect for our fav Garden State ladies and we are here to help them through it all. Merry Xmas! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Dorit’s Good & Bad News, Teddi Mellencamp’s Karma, Tom Sandoval’s Bad Year & Bethenny Frankel’s New Love
Tom Sandoval is ending his already not so great year in a not so great way - let go from Vanderpump Rules along with all other OGs, the closing of Schwartz and Sandy’s after a rocky run and more. We chat about the year of Sandoval, share updates on his relationship with model Victoria Lee Robinson and what we can expect from The Most Extras “most extra” front man as he prepares for a 2025 which will ultimately see him facing off, sans attorney, in court against Rachel Leviss. Despite many claims that she could be faking it for a storyline, Dorit rises to the RHOBH occasion, finds her voice, carries the season - so far and makes moves to prepare for the rest of the season and an upcoming year in which she is bound to experience many “firsts”. Teddi, who has been very judgmental of others’ affairs, relationships and mess ups, seems to be the target of a lot of on line trolling, is being mentioned on RHOBH more than when she was on the show and has been sending mixed messages about Kyle, Edwin and the horse trainer which leaves many wondering wtf is really going on. Finally, Bethenny Frankel has a new message for Kelly Bensimon, flaunts her new man Tom even more than before and tries to balance the holidays, work, motherhood and romance as she closes out the year with a bang. All this and more as we are joined by the one and only Psychic Leota from The Psychic Source.

Teresa's RHONJ Punishment, Louie's Bad Year, Kyle's Inevitable Divorce, Dorit's Reboot & Kim Richards’ Scare
Psychic Robbin steps back Behind The Rope. She’s baaack. Psychic Robbin is here to help us make sense of all that is happening this week in the BravoSphere. Psychic Robbin delves into this current season of RHOBH, the fallout of Kyle’s friendship with Dorit, the separation of Dorit and PK, Kyle’s separation and looming divorce from Mauricio, Kyle’s refusal to mention Morgan, Kyle and Kathy’s current “tough love” phase with sister Kim Richards and so much more. Robbin tells us all that she sees regarding the rest of the RHOBH season for each of their friendships, relationships and marriages explaining which can be mended, which will be mended and which are just gone and broken forever. Next Psychic Robbin heads east to The Garden State to help us revisit the current RHONJ pause. Robbin discusses Teresa - what she sees in terms of her future on the show, whether she will be back next season, whether Melissa will be back next season, whether Teresa is nervous considering the pause is lingering on and money is being spent like water. Robbin also breaks down the marriage between Tre and Louie - sharing updates on whether they will last forever as soul mates or are ultimately headed for divorce and what months will be great and not so great for the TreHuggers’ Queen in 2025. Finally, Psychic Robbin visits Love Hotel explaining if Shannon Beador will finally find her guy in 2025 and addresses Alexis & John Janssen’s rumored exit from RHOC holding nothing back revealing harsh truths, tough love and what she sees for the future for Kyle, Dorit, Kathy, Kim Richards, Teresa, Louie, PK, Shannon, Melissa, Alexis and many more of our favorite housewives coast to coast.

MELISSA RIVERS (on Dorit’s Masterplan, Andy Cohen’s Comments on Housewives’ Future & Diddy’s Bad News)
It’s that time of the month again. Melissa Rivers is back to help us break down and make sense of all that is happening on our Bravo screens and in our Pop Culture world. With another highly rated season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills well underway, Melissa talks this past week's RHOBH episode and helps summarize all that is going on off air. Dorit and Kyle still not in a good place, Erika in the middle, PK and Dorit’s marriage unravelling before our very eyes, newbies Boz and Tilly stealing many scenes they are in, Kathy Hilton holding court and so much more, Melissa helps us recap it all. In other news, Melissa shares personal knowledge about the Equestrian culture of the west coast that Teddi Mellencamp has found herself smack dab in the middle of. We break down Teddi’s vague, world salad of a statement on her divorce from Edwin and analyze whether as a Real Housewives Podcast Host, she, he or us have the duty to talk about drama as it unfolds in our personal lives the way we talk about all the other Housewives’ dirt. Finally, we discuss more setbacks for Diddy - new claims against the once revered rapper, incriminating jail cell notes and bail denied once again, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce - the gift that keeps on giving to all in their inner camp many times over and last, but certainly not least, Cher’s scorching hot new memoir which leaves no stone unturned and holds nothing back in taking everyone to task who has done this epic icon wrong throughout her multi-decade long reign at the top. As we said, everyone’s fav time of the month. @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) LIPOZENE - Lipozene.com (One of Americas Most Trusted Weight Management Supplements Starting At Just $29.95) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Shop The Holiday Sale To Save 20% Sitewide and Support The Show By mentioning That BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE Sent You In Your Post-Checkout Survey!

VPR’s Reboot Foreshadows RHONJ’s Future, Kristin Chenoweth Slams Teresa Giudice & Kyle Wants Eileen Davidson Back
Kristin Chenoweth slams Teresa Giudice as “Scary” and a “Dangerous Person”. We break down these claims, explain where they originate from, discuss the validity of them and analyze why she is “Team Gorga”. Speaking of Melissa Gorga, Kiki Barth shades her claiming she buys fake followers and Mel prepares to hit back. Vanderpump Rules has ended and, money aside, a cast divided where two main cast members are no longer speaking is a huge reason for its demise. Sound familiar? We address the rumors that Teresa is freaking out about the end of VPR as a foreshadow to her potential RHONJ termination when the announcement of RHONJ Season 15 drops, probably, possibly, early 2025. Lala reveals her big Vanderpump regret, Scheana weighs in and LVP prepares for Season 12. Finally, Kyle Richards wants Eileen Davidson back on RHOBH, Eileen responds and other past Diamond Holders emerge ripe for a return in the future. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle Richards’ Breakdown, Teresa & Louie Cheating Rumors & Teresa Giudice Infiltrates RHOC To Take Down Tamra
Kelly Dodd is coming in hot these past few days. Kelly slams Teddi Mellencamp as a “cheater” “d-bag” who “should be denied custody” warning Teddi that she knows “everything”. Kelly also slams Andy Cohen using his own words against him, Andy laughs back and Kelly doubles down in the hilarious, in the best way possible, feud we are so here for and did not know we needed. Kyle Richards opens up about her sexuality, reveals her darkest fears, accepts distance from Morgan Wade, has it out with Sutton and more as RHOBH is set to premiere tonight. In non RHOBH news, Teresa is afraid to clap back too hard at Tiffany “New York” Pollard, is scared for her RHONJ future, is accused of infiltrating RHOC with her “blogger” ways to rally the troops against Tamra and so much more.

Jennie talks highs and lows of being a Bravo RHOSLC Housewife, cast mates Lisa, Heather, Meredith, Whitney, Jen and Mary.

Recorded in a simpler time before Monica, Jennie held nothing back. Finally, Jennie talks about Jen Shah’s current jail time, being on a Housewives show that involved the Feds, Jen’s future, the future of RHOSLC and what is next for this power house Mom and entrepreneur who won’t be slowing down anytime soon. @jennienguyenluv @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SONO BELLO - sonobello.com/velvet (Get Friends & Family Rates During This Fall Savings Event on Laser Assisted Lipo & More!)

Another day, another turn in the stranger by the hour divorce of Teddi Mellencamp. Although Teddi refuses to confirm or deny these allegations, claiming there are two sides to every story, we break down all the new facts, claims and disputes regarding her untangling of life with Edwin.

Alexis' RHOC Full Time Role, Sonja Morgan’s Dark Side, Karen Huger’s DUI Trial & Nasty Texts From Housewives Exposed
Now that the RHOC Reunion has one more part to go, we cannot help but look ahead to next season of RHOC - the expected return of the entire cast, the possible upgrade of Alexis "Jesus Jugs” to full time, a possible Johnny J and Fun Lexi televised wedding and cameras which, with tensions running high and ratings that are decent, expected to be picked back up with very little to no break for our fav orange holders.

Lisa Barlow takes no prisoners both on RHOSLC and off air behind the scenes as this stellar season moves along. Sonja Morgan’s dark side is exposed, VPR’s future moves one step closer to being solidified and Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning seems to be working in ways no one ever expected.

RHONJ - What Season 15 Would Look Like w/ Melissa & Not Teresa (Casting Updates) II
A few months ago, at the close of last season’s very toxic RHONJ, we discussed the vision we foresaw for the future of RHONJ. In other words, who would be back and who would not be back. Today, we step into the alternative universe with another, possibly clearer vision. Melissa or Teresa. That is the question and regardless of whether Melissa or Teresa are back, how, if at all, are the rest of the cast affected. Short answer, not so much at all. We break down how and why, discuss when we expect to hear about Season 15 casting, dispel the many, many, many false rumors out there and much more.

Vicki Gunvalson claims Bravo did not tell her that her Mom died for an hour while she filmed a scene for RHOC and that Reality TV has a dark side. Tell us something we don’t know. Two past RHOC are prime for a return, RHOC concludes with a bang, Tamra claims she is protected by Bravo and that only 3% of the audience really hates her and last, but certainly not least, viewers compare Tamra’s toxic RHOC behavior this season to Teresa’s last RHONJ season. Ironic considering the two dislike each other thanks to Louie Ruelas. RHOSLC has not missed a beat despite the fans fear that this season would be lackluster without Von Tease, Mike Shouhed’s abusive past resurfaces - again, Carl Radke and Danielle Olivera are rumored to be dating, Karen Huger is rumored to be carrying on all over the DMV with a younger suitor and much more! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SONO BELLO - sonobello.com/velvet (Get Friends & Family Rates During This Fall Savings Event on Laser Assisted Lipo & More!)

LVP Forced Out of VPR, Brandi Urges Manzo To Come Out & Teresa & Louie’s New Financial Problems
Brandi Glanville urges Caroline Manzo to come out of the closet, slams her again and claps back at fans who have an issue with her, all in a series of tweets fired off over the past few weeks. Bravo is rumored to want Lisa Vanderpump out of Pump Rules - well the rumor is that they are trying to push/force her out of her own show as salary disputes remain broken down. We offer a few theories as to who is holding up salary talks - not who you think, the likelihood everyone will return, the chances of Rachel Leviss appearing and whether this once top rated Bravo show is worth investing in for one last season of closure. The Real Housewives of London is coming, Dubai is moving forward for Season 3 and RHONY is, well, chugging along. Every ex Real Housewife seems to have a new Podcast and we have a lot to say about ‘em all - and we mean all. Finally, Teresa and Louie seem to be having more financial problems than ever. Allegedly.

We announced a few days ago that Teddi Mellencamp has filed for divorce from her husband of thirteen years, Edwin Arroyave. Today we share updates regarding Teddi’s divorce and what we find most interesting and shocking about the motions she recently filed with the courts.

Bethenny Frankel addresses the claim that the RHONY Reboot is “unwatchable” and “should be taken away”, shares joy in the fact that the Bravo Powers That Be must be “writhing in pain” and sheds light on the golden era of Housewives which, of course, she pats herself on the back for. Alexis shares updates on Johnny J, Emily Simpson is angry at Shannon, RHOC borderlines RHONJ level toxicity, Shannon makes insane claims towards Alexis and so much more as we prepare for the RHOC reunion tomorrow night. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we break down Teddi’s announcement, official “I” not “We” statement, reasons for the divorce, the BravoVerse’s reaction and what happens next for Teddi and her family. Tamra Judge has thrust herself in the middle of Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, Warner Brothers, NBC, Shed Media and Peacock TV claiming she has a picture from Vicki Gunvalson which supports Caroline’s claims against her very own employer, and Caroline’s former employer, Bravo. We break down Tamra’s claims, Vicki’s expected response and the fact that Tamra just cannot seem to avoid lawsuits one way or another. Miss Judge should expect to be deposed when and if the suit moves forward without settlement. Finally, RHOC has concluded with a bang exposing the good ole’ Shannon we have not seen all season, an Emily and Gina move that has primed them for power spots at the reunion, an all over the place Dubrow, newbies Pedranti and Katie who have secured long futures as Orange Holders, a cameo by Johnny J and one, in the best way possible, unhinged Fun “Jesus Jugs” Lexi. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Gretchen Rossi steps back Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s “Spectrum” Diagnosis, Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi.

Teresa & Louie's New "Scam", Jennifer Aydin's Delusion, Melissa's Message To Tre & The Grand Dame's Bad Week
RHONJ may be off the air but many of our favs, who may or may not be returning, have been making quite the headlines this past week. Teresa is urging, or begging based on how you read it, everyone to sign up for some website where we can all make free money to the tune of 50K a year. We break down this very strange biz venture, share updates on Louie’s other biz ventures and answer just what is going on across the river in the Giudice / Ruelas household. Jennifer Aydin cannot seem to accept her fate that she is probably not returning to RHONJ, claims she has spoken to Andy Cohen, slams Tamra as thirsty and backtracks on many of her current statements regarding her cast mates and future of the show. Finally, Melissa Gorga shades Teresa and explains why she follows all the rules unlike her beloved sister in law. In other news, RHOP Season 9, Episode 3. The Grand Dame is in the hot seat as everyone has questions about her DUI, Gizelle remains mad over the GNA event and public headlines arise that her attorney’s motion to dismiss the case against her due to a lack of Miranda Rights has been denied. In other words, the Grand Dame in headed to face a jury for her fateful actions the night she got behind the wheel of the car, allegedly, intoxicated. Mia is messy AF, Stacey becomes enraged with Ashley, Gizelle and Wendy are actually getting along and, even though we are only in episode three, the ladies prepare to head on a cast trip to the far away and exotic state of North Carolina.

Teresa Giudice may be angered at Jacqueline Laurita based on some of Jacqueline’s recent comments, Tamra Judge’s “bad”, or “bad edit” depending how you look at it, season of RHOC continues, Teresa Giudice’s current stint on The Villains may be helping her RHONJ future and last, but certainly not least, Rihanna has made some crazy, confusing observations reading the Housewives and RHOSLC, RHOP and RHONY. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

In other RHOC news, Jim Bellino and Elizabeth Vargas are dating, then not dating a la #fake news, Gretchen discusses what really went down in the Morocco bathroom between Brandi and Caroline and Jennifer Pedranti gets angrier than F at Tamra earning her place for RHOC 19.

Kyle Richards has just received the Reality Star of The Year in US Weekly’s annual poll. We break down all that Kyle has had to endure and achieve this year both on air and off to receive this award - breakup from Mauricio, sister who has relapsed, fallout and reconciliation with her other sister, same sex relationship with a county superstar and so very much more. Speaking of the country superstar and sisters, we share updates on Kyle’s relationships with Morgan Wade, Kathy, Kim and the rest of the RHOBH cast as we prepare to head into Season 14 premiering later this year. These stellar seasons of RHOP, RHOSLC and RHOC continue on as Karen Huger’s DUI seems to be addressed and dealt with much differently than Shannon Beador's, newbie Stacey Rusch continues to make her mark, Gizelle remains conflicted between good friend and reasonably shady, Mia Thornton moves into a reality tv position of power and last, but certainly not least, Mary Cosby addresses her son’s status as he remains in rehab fighting for sobriety.

GRETCHEN ROSSI (on Tamra's Reign Of Terror, Kelly Dodd, Possible RHOC Return & Slade Smiley)
Gretchen Rossi steps Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi. @gretchenrossi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BRANCH BASICS - branchbasics.com/ velvet (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Your Entire Order Of These Non-Toxic, All-Natural Cleaning Prducts) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 L

We break down those claims, discuss the camp, talk about Garrett’s other friend Ryan Boyajian from RHOC, the bond between Ryan, Jen Pedantri, Louie and Teresa against Tamra Judge and much more. Speaking of Teresa, we discuss the first episode of The Villains, Tiffany “New York” Pollard vs. Tre, the rumors that Teresa told Bloggers, here we go again, that she did not win and what to expect the rest of this season knowing RHONJ does not take the crown. Joel Kim Booster issues an apology to Shannon Beador after slamming her regarding her on set “Love Hotel” behavior, we analyze the authenticity of that apology and discuss why people are slowing starting to turn on this season’s RHOC darling, Miss Beador. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Heather and Terry Dubrow step Behind The Rope. Heather and Terry chat all things RHOC - the highs and lows, many cast changes over the years and cast mates such as Tamra, Vicki, Shannon & Kelly Dodd. We also chat other franchises such as RHONY & RHOBH, Garcelle, Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna. The conversation then turns to Botched, many of Terry’s extra challenging cases and Botched colleague and friend Paul Nassif. Before Botched there was The Swan, one of the best reality shows of all time (google it people), which Terry was a Doctor on. He informed us it is ranked as one of the worst reality shows of all time (we now love it just a little more). With all the talk this season about the takedown of Tamra Judge, the redemption of Shannon and the coupling of Alexis & Johnny J, we figured today the perfect day to remind everyone about this blast from the past chat with the one and only Fancy Pants and Mr. Fancy Pants Dubrow. @heatherdubrow @dr.dubrow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames) JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

Kelly Dodd Threatens To Sue Tamra w/ Vicki & Gretchen As Teresa Giudice, Jill Zarin & Jim Bellino Show Support
Tamra Judge has just apologized for a second time regarding potential slanderous remarks which Jennifer Pedranti’s man Ryan Boyajian has threatened to sue her for. We revisit Tamra’s claims and both apologies as we separate fact from fiction on what constitutes slander and defamation, how to serve someone a lawsuit and whether, in fact, Tamra has actually been sued. As a shock to no one, everyone from the OC and Housewives across franchises have weighed in in what seems like support against Tamra. Kelly Dodd has threatened a class action lawsuit urging OC legends Vicki and Gretchen to join in. Kelly details why she wants to sue Tamra, claims she has received advice from Jim Bellino himself and explains why it is time to “take down that Bit$h”. Vicki takes this opportunity to slam Tamra, offer her and RHOC Producers some advice for the future and says she has heard from Teresa and Jill Zarin in support of taking Tamra down. We deep dive why Teresa and Jill each have their own set of issues with Tamra and discuss other Housewives and House Husbands who are eagerly anticipating what happens next in this most interesting turn of events for Miss Tammy Sue Waddle. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 2. Craziness, all stars, over the top fashion and more. Mary Cosby, like Ramona Singer, has no problem looking someone in the face - in this case newbie Britani - and telling them she just does not care at all whatsoever about them.

Selling Sunset’s Amanda Lynn (on Season 8, Castmates, Cancelled Reunion, Chrishell’s Ultimatum & RHOBH)
Amanda Lynn steps Behind The Rope. Selling Sunset’s Amanda Lynn that is. The woman at the center of much of the drama of Selling Sunset Season 8 is here to break it all down. Amanda discusses the truth about how she got involved with this season, the lunch with Bre where she reveals the information about Chelsea’s husband that set in motion much of the season’s events and her current relationship with Bre after the many ups and downs of the past several months. Amanda chats real estate porn, her new 70M listing, other cast mates Mary, Chrishell, Chelsea and Emma, the other season long drama created by Nicole Young, her past tweets and those other real estate shows Owning Manhattan and MDLLA. Ending on a cliffhanger, Amanda talks about her potential future on Selling Sunset, whether Chrishell will return despite her claims she will never work with Nicole again and whether the cancelled reunion will have bigger implications for the future cast of the show the way it did for RHONY and RHONJ. Speaking of Real Housewives, we chat RHOBH, Erika Jayne, Heather Dubrow and last, but certainly not least, Dolores Catania. @amandalynnestates @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

Teresa and Louie’s Shaky Future, RHONJ Chooses Tre or Mel & Shannon and Tamra Reconciliation
Psychic Robbin steps Behind The Rope. Psychic Robbin is here to help us make sense of all that is happening in the BravoSphere. Psychic Robbin delves into this current season of RHOC, the fallout of Tamra’s friendship with Shannon, the fallout of Vicki’s friendship with Tamra, Alexis’ new friendship with Tamra, Fun Lexi & Johnny J’s engagement and much more. Robbin tells us all that she sees regarding the rest of the season and for each of their friendships explaining which friendships can be mended, which will be mended and which are just gone and broken forever. Next Psychic Robbin heads east to The Garden State to help us make sense of the RHONJ pause. Robbin discusses Teresa - what she sees in terms of her future on the show, whether she will be back next season, whether Melissa will be back next season, whether Teresa will ever reconcile with Melissa and Joe and so on and so forth. Robbin also breaks down the marriage between Tre and Louie - whether they will last forever as soul mates or are ultimately headed for divorce, whether Louie is as shady as many of the fans think or whether all the on line tabloid fodder is totally overhyped and whether this is true love with pure intentions or if Louie has ulterior motives. Psychic Robbin holds nothing back revealing harsh truths, tough love and what she sees for the future for Teresa, Louie, Tamra, Shannon, Melissa, Alexis and many more of our favorite housewives coast to coast.

Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. Many years ago we had Elizabeth on right after her one season wonder ended on RHOC. With so much going on this current season, we figured it the best time to sit down and chat with Elizabeth again.

Elizabeth discusses the importance of Emily and Gina, the return to form of the Tamra we all know, Shannon’s edit and redemption and much, much more.

Teresa’s Bad News, Jackie’s Friendship Update w/ Tre/Marge & RHOSLC Returns To Takedown Whitney Rose
RHOSLC is back baybee! Season 5, Episode 1. RHOSLC has returned with a bang. From fighting over bath bombs to Mary’s words of wisdom that a large piece of meat does not easily digest, our fav snowflake holders have sure brought it in this premiere episode. Not a weak link in the entire group, everyone brought their A game, Angie brought a scroll and many friendships were shifted, broken down and, hey, a few were even started. Meredith vs. Whitney, Angie vs Meredith - not that Meredith cares nor pays her the time of day, Lisa vs Angie, Mary vs Britani and everyone and everything else in what seems to be shaping up to be the take down season of one Whitney Rose. Of course, we also met newbie fashionista Bronwyn - $15,000 coat and all, had an engaged Mary - was she warned after last season?, witnessed tons of Reality Von Tease mentions - last season seems like years ago and more in what seems reminiscent of vintage RHONY (thank you Shed Media) where everyone and anyone has something to say, scream and / or act out to be heard. In other news, Teresa Giduice received some bad news this week, we share updates on Jackie's friendships with both Tre and Marge and much more RHONJ news as we break down the good and bad from this past week in the BravoVerse! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

After feuding all season, off air, Vicki slammed Tamra as a bad mom who does not care at all about daughter Sidney, has martial problems with husband Eddie and is just a dark, toxic person of no substance. Fresh out of a brow lift, CO2 laster treatment and chemical peel, looking almost unrecognizable, Tamra clapped back, changed her tune twenty four hours later and broke down leaving fans to speculate what was real and not real. We break down the back story of this feud, the claims that Tamra and Eddie have problems and that Vicki is jealous, pathetic and will never be back on RHOC in the feud we never expected, nor knew we needed, but are so here for considering it is just as dynamic, diabolical and entertaining as anything we are watching on this season of RHOC. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PSYCHIC SOURCE (Download The Psychic Source App in Apple or Google Play For Free To Get a 35 Minute Psychic Reading For Only $20 With Code Velvet) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com M

Brittany Breaks Down, Jax Develops PTSD, Stassi Returns (Details!), LVP Wins & The Toms’ New Plan
So many changes in the VanderVerse, so little time. Today we try to make sense of it all. Jax and Brittany move forward with their divorce, engage in on line shade, film The Valley - separately, continue the Pod - separately and everything and anything else in between as she goes on the cast trip while he sits this one out. Jax is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD, Brittany is seen breaking down during filming and we wonder whether this divorce will actually happen. Scheana and Lala continue to film The Valley, Stassi Schroeder prepares to film Stassi Says and Vanderpump Villa and Lisa Vanderpump smiles ear to ear with the last laugh. All this and we still do not know about the future of VPR as we are joined back by Rob Schulte from the Vanderpump Robs Podcast. @robkschulte @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PSYCHIC SOURCE (Download The Psychic Source App in Apple or Google Play For Free To Get a 35 Minute Psychic Reading For Only $20 With Code Velvet) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198

Louie Ruelas’ Warning To His Enemies, Margaret’s Rumored Take Down of Melissa & Jen Aydin Slams Tamra Judge
Andy Cohen tripled down this week on the fact that we should not ask about, think about or expect RHONJ casting news any time soon. That said, it seems to have been a busy week in RHONJ land. Louie Ruelas posted a warning to his enemies which seems to double down on how he feels about Margaret’s son, suggest he was not at all sorry despite his on line apology and imply that he is still as conflicted, having learned nothing, as the toxic nature of RHONJ seems to not have cooled at all despite Andy’s pause. Rachel Fuda claims she is unemployed from RHONJ. Blind items surface that Marge plans to take down Melissa with her arsenal of dirt if she is fired from the show. Finally, Vicki and Tamra’s war gets even nastier, fans and RHOC cast members weigh in and Jennifer Aydin takes the opportunity to slam Tamra back for all that she has said to about her over the past few weeks. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

LYNNE CURTIN (on RHOC, Tamra, Vicki, Kyle Richards & Cuffs)
The Real Housewives of Orange County's Lynne Curtin steps Behind The Rope. Lynne takes us back to when she was first cast to step behind the gates of Coto de Caza in Season Four of the hit Bravo show. Lynne walks us through how she was cast on RHOC, who she knew before being cast and some of the story lines we saw regarding her life as they played out on national television. We discuss how The Real Housewives of Orange Country has changed since the early days and how reality tv, in general, is a whole new landscape in the modern age. Of course we discuss the status of Lynne's current relationships with other OC staples such as Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Jeana Keough, Gretchen Rossi, Lydia McLaughlin, Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, Lizzie Rovsek, and the Peggys Sulahian and Tanous. We also talk about the times she has crossed paths with Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and many of our friends from Laguna Beach and The Hills. Finally, no chat with Lynne Curtin would ever be complete without a discussion of her iconic, classic, one of a kind "Lynne Curtin Cuffs”. With this season of RHOC well under way, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Lynne Curtin. @lynneanncurtin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Devi

RHONJ Old Rumors Resurface, Our Past w/ Alexis Jugs, Teresa’s Cold Heart & Jeff Lewis' Messiness
For everyone who did not attend our live show, which lasted over three long hours, no question was off limits. Having just watched one of the most toxic seasons of RHONJ a lot of questions were about RHONJ past, current and, most important, future. Who will return - Teresa or Melissa or Neither? We break all of that down in this Final Part Three of our live show which sold out earlier this month where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth. From questions about the future of RHONJ, to our own personal break ups and make ups with Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin and other RHONJ staples, we spilled the tea leaving no stone unturned no matter what or who it exposed. If there is one thing we learned from this season of RHONJ, as they say, the truth shall set you free. Of course, we also chatted about this current season of RHOC, shared inside info regarding the future of Vanderpump Rules and discussed what we know about Erika Jayne’s role in RHOBH’s upcoming Season 14. All this and more as we share this Part One today with you, our loyal Patreons. Hey, you may not be able to ask a live question, but at least now you can hear them all and, even more importantly, hear all of the answers. Hope you enjoy this Part Three conclusion to our live show where no question was off limits! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Friendship Breakups Post Show, Fans Demand Tamra Judge’s Firing & Jesus Jugs Gets Engaged
With RHONJ over and done, a lot of the cast is spending time together while other possibly former RHONJ seem to want nothing to do with each other. We discuss which friendships are real and which of our fav Garden State ladies will probably never speak again now that the season has come to an end. In other news, Tom Girardi is found guilty, Erika Jayne reacts and we, the viewing public, await his sentencing later this year. Tamra Judge’s well laid plan for this season of RHOC seems to have gone awry, producers are suspected to be involved, the Housewives audience demands that she be fired and Tamra claps back. On that note, we discuss all the mistakes many Housewives make and break down which wife has played the game the best over the past almost two decades that the entire franchise has been in our lives. Hint: She is still on her respective show. Garcelle Beauvais sets boundaries for RHOBH Season 14, John and Alexis get engaged and Shannon continues to shine seemingly ,outwardly unbothered by it all. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id

Brittany Cartwright’s Villain Era, Kelly Dodd’s Selfishness & VPR New Cast Reboot
Vicki Gunvalson had a near death experience, Housewives fans have mixed reactions and Kelly Dodd made the scary encounter all about her. Shocking, we say sarcastically. Speaking of Kelly Dodd, she had some family drama of her own which we break down and discuss. In other news, a new potential villain has emerged over in the VanderVerse as Brittany Cartwright files for divorce days after Jax exits rehab and heads for the Valley. Jax was served on air for all of us to witness when Season Two of this show returns which leaves us asking the only question that matters, what does Kristen Doute think of all of this? Jax Taylor hits paparazzi hot spot with Valley co-star Jesse Lally - who is also going through a divorce, plays victim and continues to film hoping all, we think, gets captured on camera. Finally, Vanderpump Rules the next generation plans to air as one final season of the OGs is rumored to be in the works. Truly, we cannot keep up.

RHONJ Future (What We Want!), VPR’s Looming End, Erika Jayne’s “Dating Show” & Why No One Likes Louie Ruelas
As rumors about the future of RHONJ continue to swirl - some true, some semi true and some pure fiction, we break down where we are with this fractured cast and whether any can return months, if not years from now if the show does indeed return. In other fractured show news, we discuss the likelihood that anyone from the current cast will continue, whether Scheana and Lala will make their desired splash on The Valley, who else from VPR may end up on another LVP show, whether any other spin offs are in the works and whether it is fair to blame Ariana for the possible cancellation of the show in its current form. We discuss why no one seems to like Louie Ruelas, TreHuggers included, whether this upcoming summer in The Hamptons could be Lindsay Hubbard’s last season of Summer House, Erika Jayne’s much needed “dating show”, the upcoming return of RHOBH and so very much more as we are joined by the one and only Morgan Paige Wright from Morgan’s Pop Talks! @morganptalks @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Having just watched one of the most toxic seasons of RHONJ a lot of questions were about RHONJ past, current and, most important, future. Who will return - Teresa or Melissa or Neither? We break all of that down in this Part Two of our live show which sold out earlier this month where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth. From questions about the future of RHONJ, to our own personal break ups and make ups with Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin and other RHONJ staples, we spilled the tea leaving no stone unturned no matter what or who it exposed. If there is one thing we learned from this season of RHONJ, as they say, the truth shall set you free. Of course, we also chatted about this current season of RHOC, break ups and feuds with the likes of Heather McDonald and Kelly Dodd and discussed what we know about Erika Jayne’s role in RHOBH’s upcoming Season 14. All this and more as we share this Part Two today with you, our loyal Patreons. Hey, you may not be able to ask a live question, but at least now you can hear them all and, even more importantly, hear all of the answers. #enjoy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Margaret Details How Tre Changed, Brandi Glanville’s Leaked Andy Cohen Footage & Ariana Chats VPR Future
Margaret Jospehs is convinced Louie and Teresa will not end up together, that Teresa no longer cares about her job and that she will go down in flames before admitting her or Louie were wrong about, well, anything. Teresa responds and tries to move on in life and love, love, love. Meanwhile, Brandi Glanville has leaked footage of Andy Cohen allegedly “harassing” her with Kate Chastain. We discuss the video, Brandi’s claims and whether any of this will affect Andy’s position at Bravo. The RHOSLC trailer dropped last week. We break down all the highlights - Mary vs Meredith, another Bronwyn, multiple Lisa’s and a “reaction” from Jen Shah far, far away.

RHONJ’s Future: Who Stays, Who Goes, Tre vs. Mel, Reboot, Spinoffs &/or End of Show Forever - II
Now that last season of RHONJ is a thing of the past and most, if not all, of the cast has stopped doing interviews, we have had a chance to reflect on the future of RHONJ. We continue our chat from earlier this week. Taking everything into account - Andy’s comments, the cast’s comments, everything that is rumored to be going on off air with the cast and bloggers, the rumored salaries of each of the cast members and last, but certainly not least, what each of you has posted on line expressing extreme love or intensive dislike for certain cast members, we slow it down, relax, and lay out what we think is going to happen for the future of this show. From reboot rumors, to cast changes, spinoffs and the possibility that the show will never be back, we cover it all. Who will stay? Who will go? Will the decade long feud between Melissa, Joe and Teresa finally come to an end on RHONJ forever? Tune in to hear all of our thoughts, predictions and analyses about the future of our beloved RHONJ.

Teresa & Melissa Reconcile To Save RHONJ, Margaret Slams Tre As “Gone” & Tamra Judge Makes Insane Claims About RHONJ Cast
Melissa Gorga claims that she will not return to RHONJ if “dark”, “toxic” Teresa returns. Simultaneously, headlines have emerged that Teresa and Melissa have called a truce to save their high salaries and have now, after the most toxic, lowest rated season in RHONJ history, finally decided to bury their pride and work together to return for RHONJ Season 15. We break down these claims, statements and headlines separating fact from fiction regarding the future of our beloved franchise. Margaret claims the Tre we knew is gone, cares about nothing and the only person who can get through to her is Louie. Tamra Judge claims Danielle Cabral got physical with her brother’s wife, denies she ever said it and now has shifted the focus to herself as “victim”. Joey Gorga hosts a live show, tries to be funny, entertains claims from Frank Catania and upsets Rachel Fuda who demands the toxicity has all gone too far. All this and more in this RHONJ afternoon hot topic quick hit. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Margaret Predicts Teresa & Louie’s Breakup, Dolores Gets Angry & Tamra Triples Down On Her Mean Girl Phase
With gag orders finally lifted now that this season of RHONJ is over, everyone is talking, talking and talking. With interviews galore, we break down all of the claims and statements over the past week from our friends who we may never see on our beloved RHONJ again. Dolores reveals how and why she is very upset at her cast mates. Margaret doubles down that Louie and Teresa will not be together forever, that Teresa has lost all sense of rationale and no longer cares about her job, let alone anything, other than Louie. In other words, she is fully prepared to go down with the ship that is Mr. Ruelas. Cabral and Aydin are still talking about each other, Jackie is laying low, Melissa and Joe put on a live show and Fessler is making music. In other news, Gia claims she will one day be a Real Housewife. Finally, in more positive, happier news, we discuss the latest episode of RHOC - Shannon opens up even more, Alexis alienates a few of her cast mates further, tears are shed, low blows are exchanged and Tamra Judge proves her mean girl streak towards Shannon is just getting started.

RHOBH Cast Member Kicked Out, Future of RHONJ Update, & Real Life Run In w/ Louie Ruelas
RHOBH Season 14 filming comes to an end with a bang as Garcelle and Sutton reveal one of the cast was thrown out of a party. What? When? Where? Why? We break it all down and look ahead to what to expect next season of the 90210. RHONY has dropped their trailer to much fan hoopla, the cast trashing each other on social and Andy’s comments of what to expect when the show returns in October. Next we cross the river to the tragic state of affairs in New Jersey, spill the tea on our real life run in with Louie Ruelas, gasp as Marlo shades the F outta Kenya and explain all the reasons why Kelly Dodd was fired all those years ago.

Billie Lee steps back Behind The Rope. Vanderpump Rules’ Billie Lee, that is. Tom Sandoval’s ex BFF Billie Lee, that is. Back before Scandoval rocked the BravoVerse and made national headlines worldwide, back before Jax, Kristen and Brittany were back on Bravo a la The Valley, back before it was announced just the other week that Stassi would be returning to the VanderWorld a la Vanderpump Villa and her own show Stassi Says as part of a Hulu development deal, we sat down with Billie Lee. Billie chats about her time on Vanderpump Rules before Scandoval in simpler times when the shows biggest drama was Jax and Stassi and Kristen and, well you know the deal. Billie talks highs and lows, misconceptions, micro aggressions, “mean girls”, Lisa Vanderpump, her own exit from the show, the much publicized exits of Stassi, Kristen, Jax and Brittany and much more. They say hindsight is 20/20, but we find this chat even the more interesting, looking for clues and foreshadowing of what was to come back when Ariana and Tom were still together, when Billie was BFFs with Tom and Ariana, both of which seem to no longer be true and much, much more. Yup, it’s a VPR extravaganza. Of course, there is more to Billie than her time on VPR. She is killing it on the comedy scene as well so sip that cocktail, kick back and enjoy!

Frank Catania Slammed Over Tre’s RHONJ Future, Margaret Claims Police Visited Bravo & Joe Gorga Led Spin Off Emerges
Now that this season of RHONJ has ended and the cast is no longer under contract, they are all doing interviews 24/7 and spilling the good, the bad and the other. We break down all of this week’s RHONJ rumors and interviews thus far, separating fact from fiction and making sense of it all. Frank Catania claims Teresa was asked to step down from RHONJ as if being a cast member is a corporate job, an inside source - Teresa’s hired bloggers (?) - claims this is untrue and we share our thoughts and what we know. Next, Frank claims the men are not paid, we discuss the rumored Men’s Construction Spin off with Gorga, Catania and Benigno and why the future of RHONJ may be much stranger than we think. Marge explains her rumored Police Report against Louie, shares details about the alleged phone call to her son and wishes everyone a great, happy life. Yea right. She did just trash Jackie in the press so that was short lived Margie. Finally, Dolores talks about her RHONJ position in the past tense as if she is fired, explains her meeting with her Accountant about her financial future and explains why she will always remain Switzerland. All this and so much more as we break down the claims as to whether Louie Ruelas single handedly ruined RHONJ and deep dive all of the hot goss over the past few days in RHONJ land. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Louie Ruelas Doubles Down on Margaret & Son, Aydin Slams Marge From Vacay w/ Tre & RHONJ Being Recast in Boston (?)
With RHONJ over and done for, at best, a very, very long time, the RHONJ sure seem to be causing waves off air. After comments about Margaret’s son, an apology, comments about thongs that were said but many think taken out of context, we figured it would be a quiet week for Louie and Tre. Little did we know. Even though they are on vacation, Louie is in the comments answering fans, arguing and last, but certainly not least, calling Marge “pathetic”. We break down all of this, why he is still talking and offer our unsolicited advice on what Louie and Tre should do for the future with or without RHONJ. Jennifer Aydin, on vacation with Tre and Louie, seems to also be living in the comments, clapping back at Margaret, viewers and everyone in between while she deals with fans convinced she is terminated. In other news, casting directors call for Italian American women with big personalities in North End Boston or Chicago as we wonder if the entire RHONJ franchise is headed to another city we all know and love. Finally, tea emerges from the annual RHONJ softball game and we are here to spill it all. Here we were thinking we would have no RHONJ to report on. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fernanda Rocha steps Behind The Rope. You know, official RHOC “Friend Of”, that is. Fernanda chats about her time on RHOC, cast mates Vicki and Tamra and some of our other fav, and not so fav, Orange Holders - Heather Dubrow, Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador. Of course, she also dated former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke which, at the time, went viral. Fernanda chats about meeting Braunwyn, how their relationship went from friendship to dating, the timeline of that relationship in regards to Fernanda’s divorce from her ex-wife, the public scrutiny their relationship received and more.

Louie Ruelas Slams Margaret As “Pathetic", Tre Vacays, Juicy and Gia Comment & RHOC Recap
The much hyped RHONJ alternate reunion has come and gone. We discuss what it was we actually watched, what was even accomplished and address Andy Cohen’s comments that nothing needed to be resolved after the Rails finale. False. Dolores gets slammed by Teresa, tries harder to play both sides of the fence and makes sure Teresa knows she is still a loyal soldier. Jennifer Aydin amuses herself, Rachel gets pregnant, Danielle doubles down on what she should have done to Aydin, Melissa Gorga is sadden but loving her new life amused by it all, Fessler sings, Margaret does not think she did anything wrong ever, cast mates unfollow each other, Louie acts stranger by the day in statements, comments and on vacation, Gia and Juicy weigh in and we wonder, when, if ever, the toxicity of Season 14 will ever die down. In other news, Tamara gets meaner, Alexis becomes Lexi, Heather clashes with the newbie, Emily and Gina take their flowers and Shannon continues to remind us she is a woman not afraid to let in all hang out in the very best way possible. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

This toxic season of RHONJ may have ended with a bang thanks to Louie Ruelas’ claims against Margaret and her family, but the toxicity off line is boiling over in excess. Thanks to Louie's on line apology, deleted scenes, fake scenes, Andy Cohen’s warnings to Louie, Teresa and Louie’s love fest podcast and last, but certainly not least, Louie’s comments about thongs, skin, short skirts and Tre’s daughters, there is more happening off air since last night’s watch party than the whole entire season. Jennifer Aydin refusing to accept her fate, Danielle Cabral making it clear she loves her husband, the fans giving it to Jackie as they urge for a Margaret redemption tour, a calm cool Melissa and more more.

Real World Boston's / The Challenge's Syrus Yarbrough (on MTV, Bravo & Reality TV )
The Real World Boston’s Syrus Yarbrough steps Behind The Rope. Syrus tells us how he got cast on The Real World Boston as a result of a job interview gone horribly wrong. Being no stranger to the cameras, he was a semi-regular on Baywatch, yes we discuss Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, Syrus said yes to the opportunity and soon found himself living in a converted firehouse in Boston with 7 strangers to find out what happens when they stopped being polite and started getting real. Real is exactly what Syrus got with roommates Genesis, Kameelah, Montana, Elka, Jason and Sean, which we discuss, as well as the status of those “friendships” today. Syrus discusses what filming was like with MTV back in the day when there were basically no other reality shows to compare it with and just how “real” The Real World MTV was. When the show ended, Syrus ended up playing a huge part in the success of MTV’s “The Challenge” which he discusses, as well as what life was like, in general, after the show ended. We dive deep in to what it is like being in The Real World/The Challenge “family”, the good, the bad, the other. Being a fan of reality TV himself, Syrus enlightens us on what some of his favorite current shows are as well as his surprise ties to Bravo with several fellow Real World alumni. Last, but certainly not least, Syrus tells us about a run in at the MTV Video awards with not only JLO, but backstage with Queen Madonna. Tune in for this blast from the past nostalgic trip down memory lane as we pay homage to the granddaddy of all reality shows, The Real World! @syrusmtv @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Jennifer Aydin Slams Teresa, Margaret & Dolores’ Fake Friendship, Teresa’s Denial & RHOC Recap
RHONJ Episode 10, Season 14. Is everyone awake or have you fallen asleep with the rest of us? We break down this episode, Jennifer Aydin’s erratic WWHL appearance, the alternate reunion which was filmed this week and Andy’ Cohen’s comments that in 4 short weeks when the toxic season ends, big changes n the form of a reboot, recast and / or termination of the franchise are coming. We discuss the involvement of the RHONJ bloggers, Dolores and Margaret’s fake friendship and the cracks between Jennifer and Teresa. Over in Orange County, a brilliant second episode has dropped, Alexis and Shannon jockey for position at The Quiet Woman and remind us how great vintage style Housewife feuds can be, Heather Dubrow reminds us how rich Housewives can be and the TamRat continues to do what she does best… scurry in the corner looking for a piece of cheese.

Ariana’s VPR Future, Brandi Glanville Slams Jax, Rachel Leviss’ Court Win & Bethenny’s Erratic Hamptons Summer
Love Island has just had its highest rated season ever. The Ariana effect is in full effect, no pun intended, as it is looking less and less likely that she will return to Vanderpump Rules. Lala shows a baby shower, Jax claims to have slept with both Ramona and Brandi Glanville, Rachel Leviss scores wins in court and the VPR pause remains in full effect as there is no discussion amongst Producers, Bravo or the fans about when and if this show will return. Bethenny Frankel continues her confusing summer in The Hamptons, reconnects again with Jill Zarin and finds herself in hot water, again, over recent comments, videos and social media posts which many call erratic. Finally, we spill the tea from the upcoming RHONJ alternate reunion and discuss who is likely to lose their job in a few short weeks when this season ends. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) BETTERHELP - betterhelp.com/velvetrope (This Episode Is Brought To You By BetterHelp.

Kenya Moore Fired, Potential Lawsuit Due to Jennifer Aydin’s Employment & What Happens to RHOA Now
Kenya Moore has been fired. Miss Moore is done with the twirl and has left the building. We break down how this happened, dive deep beneath the rumored “investigation” Production and Bravo conducted and discuss the finding that Kenya has violated the code of conduct leading to her termination. We discuss the likelihood Kenya will ever be back on Bravo, Peacock, E! or any other NBC affiliates. We chat about the double standard world in which Jennifer Aydin has a job after committing assault - the definition of putting your hands on another - and Kenya does not. We break down the claim that Kenya is going to file a lawsuit and the claims that lawsuit is likely to include. We discuss the upcoming season of RHOA, what Production plans to do with Kenya’s already filmed scenes and if we, the viewer, are likely to ever see this play out on TV. Finally, we discuss Kenya’s support from Kandi, Brandi Glanville and you, the fans, many of whom have been picketing outside NBC at 30 Rock to “Free Kenya Moore”. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 7. Half way through and, finally, something has happened. In typical Margaret fashion, Marge reveals private texts between her and Jackie where Jackie calls Dolo a slob. Jackie also says she hates Dolo which, even though everyone seems to have forgotten that, we focus on that here today. You are welcome. Dolo put on her readers and gets angry, Aydin sees, hears and reveals all, Tre slams John and Rachel, Rachel and John clap back, Joey Gorga pretends, again, he is still in college and last, but certainly not least, Messy G thinks her Johnnie Walker Blue Label is bugged. All this and more as we share the second half of our first ever live show where no question was off limits and pleading the fifth was not an option.

Rumors continue to swirl that Summer House’s Kyle and Amanda are headed for divorce. We break down these rumors and discuss the likelihood that Kyle and Amanda are headed for Carl and Lindsay territory as the entire SH gang returns to the states after celebrating Andrea Denver’s wedding in Italy. While all the rumors - most of which we think we started - whops - continue to permeate the BravoVerse about the future of RHONJ, we discuss how we got here, the likelihood anyone will be back, why people are over watching this season, what a total reboot would look like and why RHONJ is the most toxic of all the franchises ever.

Kyle Slams Dorit, Denise Richards' New Reality Show, Carole Radziwill Slams Andy & RHONJ Cast Changes
Last week during our live show we predicted that RHONJ would move forward with Teresa, Dolo and Rachel Fuda after this toxic, low rated season comes to a close. Radar.com listened to our live show and is reporting today that an inside source claims this as true. Are we the inside source? We break that down and discuss how likely our prediction is to come true. Denise Richards and The Wild Things has been green lit and, with the help of the same producers as RHOBH, coming to E! sometime soon. A clip has surfaced overnight from RHOBH filming and Kyle Richards is not holding back when letting Dorit Kemsley have it and we are so here for it. Finally, Andy Cohen accuses Carole Radziwill of trashing him and Carole slams back like only Radzi could. A slow day today it is not. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

MELISSA'S OLD NOSE (on RHONJ Spoilers & Teresa’s Off Air Plan To Take Down RHONJ Cast Mate Enemies) - Part III
Melissa’s Old Nose steps back Behind The Rope. Gabriela, that is. Teresa, Melissa, Margaret and the rest of the cast of RHONJ has all been asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have emerged in full force over the last few weeks since the beginning of the season to reveal secret DMs, leaked Season 14 screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more. Today, the woman behind it all, Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriela - returns, a third time to, as we like to say, mention it all. She details just how she went from fan, to popular twitter handle to Teresa’s minion receiving what seems like thousands of DM’s from Teresa throughout the years with specific instructions to “tear down” her RHONJ nemeses - Margaret, Mel, Louie’s ex Vanessa and many others which she details in full. She reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, Dolores, Andy Cohen. We discuss the now involvement of BravoLebs and Famous Super Fans like Kate Chastain, Michael Rapaport and others who were seemingly part of Tre’s take down plan. The more Melissa’s Old Nose revealed, the more questions we had regarding the secret, toxic nature of what really goes on Behind The Scenes, off camera with the RHONJ cast past and present.

RHOC Trailer Broken Down In Detail & Last Night’s Hamptons “Run In” w/ The Singer Stinger!
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season Eighteen Trailer has dropped. From the moment Teddi Mellencamp threw her epic shade reminding Miss Victoria Gunvalson that she is no longer a full time housewife, we were hooked. Newbie Katie comes for Queen Dubrow, Shannon’s drinking exposed by her ex friend Tamra, her car crash explained to her children and ex John Janssen front and center, if not in name only, thanks to the brilliant return of Alexis Bellino. We are extremely hopeful for a great season of RHOC and pure return to form of the entire multi city franchise after RHONJ has proven what not to do after five long weeks. Throw in some Sutton Stracke, Shannon Beador being shown the door and Gina Kirschenheiter reminding all of us that yes, this is exactly the type of women our fav Orange Holders are and we are here for it. In other news, last night in the Hamptons we had a sighting of the - do you hear that buzzing sound - one and only Singer Stinger. We break down exactly what we observed from Miss Ramona and boyfriend Bill. We could not make this up if we tried. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Louis York (on working with Britney Spears, Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna & Miley)
Louis York steps Behind The Rope. Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony, that is. Between the two of these guys, they have worked with EVERYONE, and we mean everyone in the music business. By “worked with” we mean, written songs for, produced and everything else under the sun for a whose who amongst today’s top artists. Britney Spears. Let us just start there. Claude wrote “Circus" for Britney, the song, and album, that was recorded at a very crucial point in her life - right after her very public meltdown the result of which a conservatorship was formed appointing her father as guardian. Short of “Blackout”, Circus was the song/ album that launched her “comeback”. We delve deep into what it was like working with Britney during that time in her life, what Claude and Chuck think of the “Free Britney” movement and thought of the “Framing Britney Spears” movie. We also talk about working with Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, John Legend, The Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, and last but not least, Michael Jackson. The boys bond with David over their love of Madonna, Prince and more. We figured today the perfect day to share this musical extravangaza blast from the past. @louisyorkmusic @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CROCS - crocs.com (20% Off Crocs’ New Brooklyn, Miami & Getaway Sandals with Code Sandals20) BADLANDS PETS - SUPERFOOD COMPLETE - badlandsranch.com/Velvet (50% Off Your Regular-Priced Order w/ a 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee on Dog Food Vital To Your Dog’s Health) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Visit One of Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 1400+ Locations or Order Online or Through Their App Their Summer Mocktail Smoothies) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) THE KARDASHIANS (New Season Streaming Now Only On Hulu) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

MELISSA'S OLD NOSE (on RHONJ Spoilers & Teresa’s Off Air Plan To Take Down RHONJ Cast Mate Enemies) - Part II
Melissa’s Old Nose steps back Behind The Rope. Gabriela, that is. Teresa, Melissa, Margaret and the rest of the cast of RHONJ has all been asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have emerged in full force over the last few weeks since the beginning of the season to reveal secret DMs, leaked Season 14 screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more. Today, the woman behind it all, Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriela - returns to, as we like to say, mention it all. She details just how she went from fan, to popular twitter handle to Teresa’s minion receiving what seems like thousands of DM’s from Teresa throughout the years with specific instructions to “tear down” her RHONJ nemeses - Margaret, Mel, Louie’s ex Vanessa and many others which she details in full. She reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, Dolores, Andy Cohen. We discuss the now involvement of BravoLebs and Famous Super Fans like Kate Chastain, Michael Rapaport and others who were seemingly part of Tre’s take down plan. The more Melissa’s Old Nose revealed, the more questions we had regarding the secret, toxic nature of what really goes on Behind The Scenes, off camera with the RHONJ cast past and present.

RHONJ REUNION CANCELLATION (What This REALLY Means For The Cast & Show's Future)
The RHONJ Reunion is cancelled. We woke up to over one thousand DM’s asking if we were going to cover this. Today, we hop on here for a rundown of the cancellation of the RHONJ reunion. We address how we got here, the cast's constant interviews that this season was not sustainable and Teresa’s constant interviews that she will never, ever speak to Melissa again. We next address, what will be happening in place of a reunion, what affect, if any, the RHONJ bloggers and toxic off line behaviors have had in leading to this cancellation, what this means for the future of RHONJ, which cast members will be terminated, which, if any, will keep their high paying jobs, what this means for the future of Housewives as a whole and last, but certainly not least, what spin offs we can expect as a result of this cancellation. Is the future so bright we have to wear shades or is today a day of reckoning where we have to put denial aside and face some hard truths. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

She chats about how she was cast - yes it involved a once in a lifetime audition with the one and only Steven Spielberg, chats about how Eric Stoltz was the “original” Marty McFly, how one day Eric Stoltz was out, how another day Mr. Alex Keaton, legend Michael J. Fox was in. Claudia chats about what it was like to work with Michael J. Fox back in the day, their relationship throughout the years and the status of that relationship today. On a more serious note, we chat about her, and the industries, reaction to Michael’s announcement many years ago that he was a working actor, and a damn good one at that, living with Parkinson’s Disease. Claudia shares Hollywood stories of who she knows, has had runs ins with, both good and bad, and how the industry has changed throughout the years. Of course, all roads lead back to Housewives, we chat about the Reality TV she watches and what she thinks about the current crop of Real Housewives. Living in LA, that involves The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, LVP, Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi.

Jen Shah’s Ex Employee KOA JOHNSON (on Jen Shah’s Mistreatment & Viral RHOSLC Events)
Koa Johnson steps Behind The Rope. If that name sounds familiar to you it is because he is the designer that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah was seen berating in the leaked viral video way back when. Koa’s name has resurfaced recently in relation to Monica Garcia and Reality Von Tease. Were the signs there? Is this chat foreshadowing several years in the making? Koa starts at the beginning explaining how, where, when, and why he came to work for RHOSLC’s Jen Shah. Koa details what their working relationship was like as designer and official Shah Squad member which, if you have seen the video, you know was not all that pleasant. Speaking of the viral video, Koa chats about when it was taken, what caused Jen Shah to lose her sh&t, who else was in the room and, whether this type of behavior was a common occurrence, and just who does he think leaked the video to the media. Koa explains the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment with Jen, why he never spoke out about their working relationship before, the long term effects their time together has had on him, what he would like to say to Jen and his recommendations to Bravo and her fellow RHOSLC cast members going forward in regards to Jen.

RHONJ has returned to our lives. We break down the Season 14 premiere sharing some good news and some not so great news. Hot Dog Lips, Tre and Luis vs. The Fudas, Jackie vs. Marge, John Fuda’s statement as soon as the episode ended, Jen Fessler living in her own world, candy bags for all, a shattered foreshadowed final scene at Rails and a cast that is either not speaking, feuding or still trying to figure out their storylines for this - hopefully - great season to come. In addition to breaking down this episode, we chat about all that is going on in the real world regarding RHONJ and predict - yes here we go again - what will happen once this season ends. We also discuss The Valley, the problems that still exist in casting RHOA and the effect Vanderpump Rules may have on RHONJ.

Introducing: Diss and Tell
Sibling fights are unavoidable, but what if every moment of tension – real or imagined – was under a microscope on a global scale? That’s the reality for the brothers from the House of Windsor: Prince William and Prince Harry. They were others’ closest friends and allies since the death of their mother. But, that all began to crack as they each married and took wildly different approaches to their royal duties. Wondery’s podcast DISS AND TELL is hosted by comedians Sydney Battle and Matt Bellassai. Each episode unpacks one of pop culture’s most iconic celebrity feuds, and they recently took a deeper look into the real reason William vs Harry started. This is just a preview of Diss and Tell.

TRISTA SUTTER (on The Bachelorette, DWTS, Real Housewives & Love)
Trista Sutter, THE Original Bachelorette, Steps Behind The Rope. Trista recalls what it was like when she applied to a not yet known TV show that promised the possibility of meeting the love of your life. How likely is it for someone to find love on TV? With little known Reality TV to compare it to (The Real World and Survivor were two of the only successful Reality Shows around at the time), Trista had no idea what to expect when she was cast and filmed Season One of The Bachelor. Trista explained what it felt like to be the Runner Up and subsequently, very soon thereafter, be given her own show, the uber successful Bachelorette. Trista chats about what it was, and is, like to find real love on National TV and the whirlwind that came after the Bachelorette finale - Oprah, Ellen, runs in with the likes of Elton John and Debra Messing. Oh yea, there was also that other first, being on the first ever season of Dancing With the Stars. We discuss just how much the show has changed since its more innocent days to involve tons more over the top drama and sex. With the recent announcement of Jenn Tran as the new Bachelorette, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat. @tristasutter @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROLON - prolonlife.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off Their Five Day Nutrition Program) HOMECHEF - HomeChef.com/VelvetRope (18 Free Meals, Pus Free Shipping On Your First Box) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) CHIME - chime.com/VELVET ( Take more control of your finances and say goodbye to monthly fees.

BravoCon 2024 Cancelled - Is The End of Real Housewives & Andy Cohen at Bravo Near?
Bravocon 2024 has been cancelled. Why would one of Bravo’s most successful components be cancelled? We answer this question in light of decreased Housewife ratings, multiple lawsuits, Housewife city delays a la RHONJ, Dubai and RHONY, an RHOM several month - at best, for now - pause, lack of an RHOA cast even with Porsha returning, Teresa and Melissa unsustainably - to use Andy’s word - not speaking to each other at all, an RHOP season which has concluded with a beyond fractured cast and much, much more. Denial is the ultimate comfort zone but today is the day we invite you all to Step Behind The Rope and face many uncomfortable and difficult possible truths and outcomes that we all have been trying to avoid. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Kenya Moore is set to return to RHOA’s Season 16 making her the current longest holding peach. Drew Sidora is rumored to be returning and Shereé is rumored to be on the chopping block.

JACKIE SIEGEL (on RHOM, RHONY, Below Deck & The Queen of Versailles)
Jackie Siegel steps Behind The Rope. Jackie Siegel from the infamous, before its time, Reality Documentary “The Queen of Versailles”. We chat with Jackie about her “rags to riches” story of getting and falling in love with her now husband David. That “rags to riches” story included their decision to build the largest, at that time, private residence house in the United States of America, aptly deemed “Versailles”. What does one do when building the largest private residence? Why, hire a film crew to document the whole event. Duh, obvi. The result was 2012 Sundance Film Festival US Best Directing Award and Critics’ Choice Award Best Documentary Nominee “The Queen of Versailles”. What started out as a film documenting the construction on this residence and the fun lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous Siegels, turned in to somewhat of an expose of extreme wealth in the face of the unexpected economic crisis the country was facing during filming. “Expose” is not an understatement considering husband David’s lawsuit against the finished product. Jackie is forthcoming about all and her early days in the “reality” space. Speaking of reality, Jackie is friends with many a Real Housewife and we discuss some of her friends. We also discuss her desire to join the Real Housewives franchise, her past application to RHONY, her past rejection from RHONY, and her possible involvement in The Real Housewives of Miami. Jackie also pulls back the layers of what it is like to be a guest on Below Deck and the one thing Beck Deck Producers told her was off limits. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Jackie Siegel. @therealqueenofversailles @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.

Jo De La Rosa (on RHOC, Cast Mates & Housewife Breakups & Makeups)
Jo De La Rosa, one of the OGs of the OC, steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning of it all, Season One, Episode One of The Real Housewives of Orange Country. Jo explains how she got cast in the freshman installment of the juggernaut franchise. The answer is not at all what you would expect. We talk about what filming was like for Jo, considering she had nothing to compare it to with The Hills, The Real World and The Simple Life being some of her only predecessors to turn to. We discuss some of Jo’s highlights from her time on RHOC, wanting to not be a “kept woman”, those dramatic always happening fights with then fiancé Slade Smiley, and that infamous French Maid's costume. Speaking of Slade, Jo discusses the end of her relationship with him and how she felt when he went on to date Fellow RHOC Housewives Lauri Peterson and Gretchen Rossi, who he is still with to this day. Jo discusses some of her past co-stars such as Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough and how and why she decided to leave the show for life in Los Angeles. She also discusses her short lived follow up classic Bravo Show “Date My Ex: Jo & Slade”. We also discuss how she is not only the youngest housewife to ever be a part of the franchise (she was 24 when she joined, yes 24) but also how she was the first Housewife to ever have a hit song (fun fact: she worked with Erika Jayne's Creative Director, Mikey Minden, on the Video / Tour Choreography). We discuss her fellow Housewives Songstresses Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Erica Jayne, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Kandi Burruss and Melissa Gorga.

Odd Mom Out's SEAN KLEIER (on Strange WWHL Appearance w/ Andy Cohen, Odd Mom & Housewives)
Odd Mom Out’s Sean Kleier steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Lex Von-Weber from Bravo’s classic scripted series Odd Mom Out. So many questions, so little time. Sean chats with us about how he originally met series creator Jill Kargman. Based on her book Momzillas, Odd Mom out chronicled the wealthy mommy clique that resides in New York’s prestigious Upper East Side. Sean explains the casting process, what attracted him to the role of Lex Von-Weber and how much fun it was to act on this Bravo series each week for three years. Part of that fun was due to costarring with, not only Jill Kargman, but the brilliant Abby Elliot and Icon Joanna Cassidy. Sean chats about off camera shenanigans between cast members, why the show ended and where he thinks Lex Von-Weber would be today. Of course, having been on Bravo, we chat about Sean’s own experience with our friends “The Real Housewives” and of course Mr. Andy Cohen and his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance. We also chat about Odd Mom Out’s multitude of guest stars including, but not limited to, Jill’s sister in law at the time, Drew Barrymore!

HEATHER THOMSON (on RHONY Past/Present/Future, Cast Mates & Bethenny Frankel's Podcast)
Heather Thomson steps Behind The Rope. With RHONY RHUGT airing, we cannot help but wonder, if not for Heather’s RHONY Season 13 appearance and producer edit and manipulation, would she have been the sixth apple holder instead of Kristen Taekman? Checking in from her Berkshires home, Heather is here to tell it all. Let us start at the beginning, Season Five of The Real Housewives of New York City. Heather discusses what it was like back in the day in the groundbreaking season when the first ever major cast shake up took place seeing several OG’s be replaced by a new crop (along with Aviva Drescher and Carole Radziwill). Heather chats about what it was like to film having never really watched the show and what it was like to be “inducted” by The Singer Stinger. Heather discusses just how far The Housewives Franchise has come from and how social media now plays a huge role, for better or worse, in the show and the drama that goes along with being a Real Housewife. Heather discusses some of the most iconic moments that took place during her tenure on RHONY such as “Take a Xanax”, “Be Cool, Don’t Be All Uncool”, and that infamous Le Cirque Leg Toss. We touch upon Heather’s final season as a full time cast member, the introduction of one Dorinda Medley and the return of one Bethenny Frankel. Heather opens up about how the presence of Bethenny Frankel on set changed the mood and vibe and how the women really reacted behind the scenes to her return and the advice she has for Bethenny who, maybe, does “know it all”.

MICHAEL LOHAN (on Lindsay, Dina, Family Misconceptions & Mean Girls!)
Michael Lohan steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about, discussed and said about Michael Lohan over the years, we figured why not go right to the source to separate all the fact from fiction, dispel rumors and set many records straight. Michael talks about the misperceptions of Hollywood and the biz, Reality TV, Celeb Rehab, famous friends and more. Of course the convo quickly turns to daughter Lindsay - Mean Girls, her early days in the biz, reboots (yes, please!), the paparazzi, famous feuds, the media’s obsession, Parent Trap, Britney and Paris, his up and down relationship with Lindsay over the years, Dina Lohan and Lindsay’s life in Dubai as a Mom with Bader Shammas. As we like to say, Michael mentions it all in a raw, open convo like you have never heard him before. @michaellohan @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) COOKUNITY - cookunity.com/VELVET (Or Enter Code VELVET Before Checkout For 50% Off Your First Order Of Chef Prepared Fresh Meals) AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/bike/rentals (Wherever You’re Starting, Get Moving With a Peloton Bike or Bike+ Rental.)

The Traitors’ PARVATI SHALLOW (on Winning Survivor, Being a "Black Widow" & More!)
Parvati Shallow steps Behind The Rope. Survivor Winner, Parvati Shallow. The Traitors’ Parvati Shallow who was told to NEVER come for the Housewives. Actually, the Housewives - Phaedra, Tamra and Shereé - sorry Larsa - should know who they are dealing with. Parvati is on EVERY “Best Survivor Players of all time” list as well as one of Jeff Probst’s personal “Favorite Players of all time” list. After chatting with her, it is very clear as to why. Did you know Parvati has played this brilliant game four different seasons for a total of 149 days on the island, making her the second longest player of all time, second only to Boston Rob’s 152 days. Parvati chats with us about what her strategy was to win Micronesia, the differences between the four seasons she played, who she thinks - other than herself, of course, is the best Survivor player of all time, why she is so good at this game and would she ever go back. Of course, we discuss The Black Widow Brigade, one of the most effective alliances in Survivor history and Erik’s blindside, which has been called one of the best moments in Survivor history. On a more serious note, we chat about the controversial Cook Islands season she was a part of which divided the contestants into four tribes based on racial ethnicity: Black, White, Hispanic, Asian American - how antiquated that now seems and how was that concept originally green lit? On a more serious note, Parvati opens up about the psychological effects playing the game had on her and the steps taken to relieve those roadblocks and integrate back into society as a fully functioning member of society. Now she is using all those well trained skills to take out our very Housewives one at a time on The Traitors. Today, we share this blast from the past chat with Parv so everyone can fully understand what our gals are dealing with. #beware @pshallow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet ( Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility ) LIFEMD - lifemd.com/VELVET (Visit lifemd.com/VELVET To Start Your Weight Loss Jo

Alex explains what it was like to be a student at Laguna Beach High School when MTV came knocking on its door with the concept for a reality show that followed the lives, and interrelationships, of some of Orange County’s more “interesting” students. Alex explains what it was like to “film” with very few reality shows, other than shows like The Real World, existing at the time. She also discusses how she felt with her “bit*h” edit once she watched the show back as the season aired. Alex also discusses what it was like to gain instant fame overnight and how life changed once that fame, and money, started to roll in. Of course, we also discuss her Laguna Beach colleagues Lauren Conrad, Jason Wahler, Stephen Colletti and Kristin Cavallari. We discuss what our fav Laguna Beach students were like way back when, and the status of each of these relationships today. Alex discusses what life was like once her time on the show ended and she moved to LA, where she initially spent a lot of time hanging out in the clubs with other friends, including some of our favorite Hill’s cast members, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt. During her time in Los Angeles she also partied with Celebs like Paris Hilton, Aaron Carter and ex boyfriend Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.

Denise Richards & Erika Jayne Slam Each Other Again, Denise’s Daughter’s Cry For Help & Kyle Richards Calls Paps on Herself
As Denise Richards and Erika Jayne continue to feud, Denise Richards’ daughter, Sami, takes to TikTox to chat about her mom, family and everything else she is disgruntled about in, of course, a now deleted post. No fear, we captured it and are here to share all our hot takes on that and everything RHOBH this week. Speaking of RHOBH, we address the new claims that Kyle Richards calls the paparazzi on herself and splits the profit with friend, girlfriend, buddy, pal Morgan Wade. As we head toward the Jan 30th premiere of Vanderpump Rules, we deep dive Jax Taylor’s return, his LVP confrontation and whether Jax and company can make Season Eleven as interesting as last season now that the Scandoval is dying down and Rachel Leviss has completely turned her back on the franchise. On RHUGT, we talk about the emergence of Kirsten Taekman - welcome to Housewives, the hilarity of the OGs and who will replace Ramona Singer if a season two is green lit once ratings are tallied and the epic RHONY girl’s trip returns. We have a few ideas and explain the top 3 most likely to happen. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) LIFEMD - lifemd.com/VELVET (Visit lifemd.com/VELVET To Start Your Weight Loss Journey Today) COOKUNITY - cookunity.com/VELVET (Or Enter Code VELVET Before Checkout for 50% Off Your First Order Of Chef Prepared Fresh Meals) WONDERY: EVEN THE ROYALS (You Can Binge Even the Royals Ad-Free Right Now on Wondery Plus) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

As we prepare for the new season of Summer House early next year, Lindsay Hubbard claims that when filming resumes in The Hamptons Summer of ’24, she no longer feels comfortable being in a house with Carl Radke and thus will not film with him.

We break down that move, take you inside the premiere party, discuss the current season sharing all our hot takes and reveal who we find to be the surprising break out star.

Patrick Duffy steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Bobby Ewing in the flesh! Patrick is here to chat about the full anthology of his career and what it was like to be part of one of the most iconic shows of all time, Dallas. Patrick reminisces about being cast, the early days on set with co-stars Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Charlene Tilton and Victoria Principal - to name a few, the highs and lows of Bobby Ewing, best and worst storylines for the character and how life changed as a result of Dallas. Patrick opens up about his decision to leave the show after eight seasons, returning after only one season off, the decision to bring Bobby back to life a la the “dream season”, the viral reaction from fans, life after Dallas and the positives and negatives of playing one character for so long. Patrick also opens up about his life long friendships with Larry Hagman and Linda Gray, the TNT “Dallas Reboot” that ended way too soon, the future of the Dallas legacy and whether another Reboot is looming on the horizon. Of course, there was also that other mega hit Patrick was a part of, Step By Step. We talk the transition from Bobby Ewing to comedy, working with Icon Suzanne Somers, other parts he would love to play and finding love again with actress Linda Pearl. Thank you Patrick.

RHOC Next Season Casting Updates, Rachel Leviss Returns, The Problem w/ RHOP & Kim Zolciak's New Low
RHOC. So many casting changes and news, so little time. As Andy Cohen pretends that Taylor Armstrong resigned from Orange County Housewives all on her own, rumors continue to swirl that Gina, Emily, Jennifer, Shannon, Heather and Tamra are all back as Vicki and Alexis are likely in when this OG franchise resumes filming early 2024 for its unprecedented eighteenth season. Wow. We feel old. Now that Alexis has been seen out with John Janssen multiple times, Emily weighs in on what Alexis joining the cast would mean for Shannon and whether Vicki will hold firm at her prior claims that she will only return for her rumored $1 million dollar salary and nothing less. Moving on, there is so much wrong with this season of RHOP, RHOA is in desperate need of fixing and we have a few suggestions for the powers that be, Bethenny Frankel hired Rachel Leviss as she continues to confuse us about Nene Leakes and last, but certainly not least, we extend our sincere thanks to Kim Zolciak for our very own viral moment thanks to her newfound low. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AURAFRAMES - auraframes.com ($30 Off Their Best Selling Frames With Code VELVET) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Sitewide Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) G ADVENTURES - gadventures.com/geluxe ($15 Off w/ Code Velvet on The Best Product To Enhance Your Wellness Journey) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Reliefband’s “Twelve Days of Relief” Sale Is Happening Now.

Kim and Kathy both have new messages for sister Kyle who seems madly in love these days - but with whom? Annmarie Wiley may have already lost her RHOBH gig before passing go. Finally, we have a new shade assassin in town otherwise known as Shady Sutton “The Savage” Stracke.

VICKY VOX (on Brandi Glanville, Real Housewives & Drag Race) - II
Vicky Vox steps back Behind The Rope. She barely made it, just in from Kelly Osborne’s Birthday Party and all. A little hungover, it is ok we do not judge, Vicky is here to Spill The Tea on just what went down at Miss O’s big shin dig. Well, what she can remember of it, that is, after all of those whiskeys. One guest she does remember well? Dorothy Wang of famed E Reality Show, Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. Vicky even read Dorothy’s cards. Do tell. Vicky does. Vicky also tells us about how she became friends with Kelly Osbourne way back when while working in Drag at a Los Angeles club and what it is like to hang out with Kelly and the rest of the Osbourne family Ozzy, Sharon and Jack. It was at this same LA Club that Vicky has stories about Miley Cyrus, Leo DiCaprio, and Eddie Murphy, all of whom were in regular attendance. Eventually Vicky got fired from this famed club thanks to Evan Ross. Oh Evan! Of course, we also had to ask about that one time she appeared on the short lived “My Kitchen Rules” show with Kelly Osbourne and Brandi Glanville and, let us just say, things did not exactly go smoothly. Would you expect anything less from Miss Brandi Glanville? Wait, weren’t we supposed to talk to Vicky about Drag and her stellar "Doing Great" Podcast? Ok that will have to wait for another time.

RYAN CABRERA - (on his Dating Ashlee Simpson, Audrina Patridge & Avril Lavigne, The Hills & Jessica Simpson)
Ryan Cabrera steps Behind The Rope. Ryan was discovered by Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s Dad, Joe Simpson, while playing an acoustic show in Dallas. Two days later he was living in Los Angeles in the Simpson Household. With a room next to Ashlee’s, the two became fast and good friends, a friendship that later blossomed into a romance after Ashlee appeared in his video. That romance was documented, in part, on the hit MTV Reality show, "The Ashlee Simpson Show". Ryan discusses what it was like to film that show with Ashlee, how it helped catapult him into the public eye, and the effect that had on his music sales. Speaking of hit MTV Reality Shows, we discuss friend Jessica Simpson’s Reality Show with then husband Nick Lachey, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” - the fact that at the time it was one of THE biggest reality shows ever to date, how “real” the show was, Jessica’s Viral “Chicken of The Sea Moment”, and Nick and Jessica’s relationship. Ryan also opens up about Jessica’s Billion Dollar Empire, the misperception of her as a “Dumb Blond”, and some of the many revelations in her earlier this year released Autobiography “Open Book”. Ryan also chats with us about then Girlfriend Ashlee Simpson’s viral SNL appearance, how that almost side railed the trajectory of her career, and what Ashlee really thought about the fallout from that fateful night. Having moved on to Audrina Patridge, we talk about that on-again, off-again relationship and what it was like to be back on Reality TV as the result of a relationship, this time on the super hit “The Hills” and many years later during an on-again phase, “The Hills: New Beginnings”. Then, of course, there was Avril Lavigne. All’s well that ends well, Ryan chats now wife WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss. We figured today to be the perfect day to share this chat with the one and only Ryan Cabrera. @ryancabrera @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AURAFRAMES - auraframes.com ($40 Off Their Best Selling Carver Mat With Code VELVET Now Through Black Friday and Cyber Monday) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VE

Christi Lukasiak steps Behind The Rope. We figured this blast from the past was a perfect chat for Thanksgiving Day (you didn’t think we would take a day off, did you?). First off, Christi fills us in on all that she has been up to see we last saw her on our TV screens on Dance Moms. Christi talks daughter Chloe, working with Abby Lee Miller and spills the tea on what the Dance Mons Reality TV experience was really like both on and off air. We talk about why the term "stage mom" has such negative connotations and the perceived notions of that phrase versus the reality of the term. Christi opens up about the difficulties of balancing being an actual mom versus running your child's career, and how those goals often do not meet. Christi explains how her and Chloe were originally cast, how competitive it was to get cast, how she “knew” her and Chloe were gonna get the job and how she kinda just felt this show may be a huge hit. We discuss how she felt when she first saw the show and the differences between how she was edited and what she remembered during filming. We also talk about those famous Dance Mom’s fans that Christi and Chloe have met throughout the years - Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristin Chenoweth and Millie Bobby Brown. On a more serious note, we talk about her decision to leave the show, how and why, how the show "changed" the entire cast - for better or worse, the positives and negatives of fame, and her decision to return. @christilukasiak @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET23 To Save Up To $350 Off Purifiers, 20% Off Filters and Get A Free 3 Year Extended Warranty on Any Purifier In Your Cart) AQUATRU- aquatrue.com (Use Code VELVET25 For a Massive 25% Off During This Limited Time Black Friday Sale Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee on The Best Water Purifier Around) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (50% Off Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) UNCOMMON GOODS - uncommon goods.com/VELVET (15%

We talk mom Meredith, Jen Shah’s guilt and much more as this epic return to stellar form of RHOSLC Season Four continues on.

CHRISTOPHER ATKINS (on The Blue Lagoon, Brooke Shields, Dallas, Reboots & Channing Tatum)
Christopher Atkins steps Behind The Rope. Christopher is here to chat about the full anthology of his career none the least of which was his breakout role in the classic 1980 film Blue Lagoon. Christopher talks about how he got this iconic role with no acting experience or no desire to act, what working on a desolate island in Fiji was like, meeting Brooke Shields for the first time, pressure from Producers to “fall in love” with Brooke and the media’s and public’s reaction - good and bad - once the film came out. We break down life immediately after when he went from a relative unknown to world wide super stardom, the “slow years” thereafter in the business trying to secure work, an unprecedented move to “do TV” in the juggernaut Dallas and his eventual decision to stop chasing the work and become a full time Dad. We talk addiction, recovery, the fleeting highs and lows of fame, pitfalls of the business and where it is today. Finally, Christopher talks current projects, the concept of a Blue Lagoon remake, actors he would love to work with and one epic plan to star opposite Brooke Shields in a brilliant concept he has developed. As we like to say, Christopher mentions it all! @christopheratkins1 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

SUKIHANA (on RHOA, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, Love & Hip Hop & Only Fans)
Love & Hip Hop’s Sukihana steps Behind The Rope. Sukihana, who named herself after a restaurant that she loves, is a marketing savant who makes approximately $100,000 per video on Only Fans. No really, she bought a Bentley with her Only Fans coins. That marketing savviness has also helped her amass a whopping 1.3 Million Instagram Followers who watch her every move. Those moves include putting “it all” out there for the world to see and enjoy. Extremely body and sex positive, Sukihana is open about her upbringing, becoming a Mom at a young age, and finding social media stardom by living her authentic life. Of course, we discuss Sukihana’s time on Love & Hip Hop: Miami and how she became an instant “fan favorite” of the franchise. We also discuss those infamous Love & Hip Hop reunions, hosted by our friend, The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Claudia Jordan. David & Suki discuss which of the Peach Holders are their favorites and who is the best “reader”. We also discuss her featured role in Cardi B’s wildly popular “WAP” music video, what it was like to work with Cardi, and what she thought of Kylie Jenner’s star turn in the video as well. Finally, Sukihana discusses the release of her brilliant “Wolf Pu$$y” mixtape, her musical influences such as Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown (who David saw during one of Kandi Burruss’ “Welcome To The Dungeon” live shows) and answers the question, what is next for Sukihana? With all the Bravo drama going on lately, we felt it time to share this funny AF blast from the past, our chat with the one and only Miss Sukihana. @sukihanagoat @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

SUZANNE SOMERS (on an Iconic Career & Life Well Lived) - Another Tribute Interview
Suzanne Somers died on October 15th, one day before her 77th birthday. Suzanne died of breast cancer with metastasis to the brain. I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzanne not once but twice. How I got so lucky through this job, through this podcast, to interview a living legend like Suzanne is beyond me. Trust me, the opportunity, the experience has never been, and is not, lost on me. Suzanne was a Trailblazer, an Icon, an Actress, Comedic Gold, an Entrepreneur, and Fearless. You do realize that if ABC tried to fire her today for demanding the equal pay of her male co-stars, she would own ABC? Something we talked about. Everyone's been slipping into my DMs because most of you know that I've interviewed her twice, asking if I am going to do something special to honor her. On that note, I am sharing the first of those initial chats in its original form, with no edits. Of course, we mention it all - Three’s Company, Step By Step, the Thighmaster, her appearance on RHOBH, and much, much more. This is not an interview that should be overlooked. Time changes so fast, and life is so precious. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.This was such a special experience for me. Suzanne will never know how much she touched my life through this chat. Today, we share our second sit down to honor the life of Miss Suzanne Somers! @suzannesomers @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet ( Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Upgrade Your Job Post ) PHILO - www.philo.tv (Use Promo Code Velvet To Get 50% Off Your First Month on The Easiest, Hassle Free Way To Watch TV) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Finally, we talk Reality Reckoning, Andy Cohen’s latest, Kyle’s recent WWHL appearance and why Kyle just cannot keep Allison’s name out of her mouth. As we like to say, Allison mentions it all. @mediumallison @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PHILO - www.philo.tv (Use Promo Code Velvet To Get 50% Off Your First Month on The Easiest, Hassle Free Way To Watch TV) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

SUZANNE SOMERS (on an Iconic Career & Life Well Lived) - A Tribute Interview
Suzanne Somers died on October 15th, one day before her 77th birthday. Suzanne died of breast cancer with metastasis to the brain. I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzanne not once but twice. How I got so lucky through this job, through this podcast, to interview a living legend like Suzanne is beyond me. Trust me, the opportunity, the experience has never been, and is not, lost on me. Suzanne was a Trailblazer, an Icon, an Actress, Comedic Gold, an Entrepreneur, and Fearless. You do realize that if ABC tried to fire her today for demanding the equal pay of her male co-stars, she would own ABC? Something we talked about. Everyone's been slipping into my DMs because most of you know that I've interviewed her twice, asking if I am going to do something special to honor her. On that note, I am sharing the first of those initial chats in its original form, with no edits. Of course, we mention it all - Three’s Company, Step By Step, the Thighmaster, her appearance on RHOBH, and much, much more. This is not an interview that should be overlooked. Time changes so fast, and life is so precious. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.This was such a special experience for me. Suzanne will never know how much she touched my life through this chat. @suzannesomers @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) NOOM - noom.com (Sign Up For Your Trial Today So You Can Manage Your Weight For The Long Term) DOG’s OVERALL HEALTH - www.DogFoodExposed.com/Velvet - (Help Improve Your Dog’s Overall Health By Making One Simple Change in The Way They Eat.

Joey Gorga’s Comedy Scam, Margaret’s Video Mishap Leaked, BravoCon Update & RHONJ’s Penny Drossos Karagiorgis Interview
RHONJ’s Penny Drossos-Karagiorgis steps Behind The Rope. Season Five RHONJ’s Penny Drossos, that is. Penny explains how she was at the forefront of being caught between Melissa and Teresa way back when the original “Melissa Cheated” rumors came out. Penny explains how she had a gag order from Bravo all these years prohibiting her from talking about the season finale scene, a scene she describes here today as “violent” once Joey Gorga learned of these rumors. Being BravoCon Weekend and the fact that the Vanity Fair Bravo Expose article has dropped, we touch upon BravoCon and Vanity Fair. Can someone say Ramona Singer three times fast? Finally, we deep dive Luis Ruelas’ Restraining Order court win against his ex, discuss who is to blame for Joey Gorga’s BravoCon Comedy Show Scam and analyze the viral video which has surfaced regarding Margaret Josephs - the use of racially inappropriate language, the claims of AI and what will be the ramifications, if any, for Marge if that is, in fact, her voice on the video.

Joey had yet another comedy show, slammed Tre at the show, did keg stands with the other college Dad’s at Antonia’s parents weekend and last, but certainly not least, wants everyone to know he is the partner in a law firm in Arizona even through he is not a lawyer. We deep dive all and share on all our hot takes on these pressing events. Meanwhile, in other Gorga news, Melissa and her PR part ways. We break down all the reasons behind this split, explain the final straw that led to this break up, was it voluntary or involuntary, answer questions like, “why now”, explain why “PR Boy” still works with The Marge, Jackie and Fessler and discuss just what is Melissa doing these days now for representation. All the TreHuggers have come for one Miss Danielle Cabral. We discuss why Danielle is having a bad season, will Tre’s disciples be successful in their attempted takedown and what type of edit will Miss Cabral receive and how will this all play out once RHONJ returns to our TVs early next year. Finally, Shannon Beador breaks her silence on her DUI, Vicki Gunvalson demands money, Raquel Leviss sells her Scandoval paraphernalia and Kyle and Mauricio deny, confuse, dance and talk out of both sides of their mouth as the media accuses them of faking it all. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope HELLOFRESH - HelloFresh.com/50velvetrope (Use Code 50velvetrope For 50% Off Plus Free Shipping on America’s #1 Meal Kit) Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling Nostalgic this Sunday? We are. That’s why we decided to share this chat from the past with Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Martyn fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV Screens on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. His first big break in design came from sitting next to Original Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs at a wedding. By the end of the wedding she had hired him to decorate her house and, from there, his design business started to take off. Martyn Lawrence Bullard Design was born. Martyn chats with us about his “Design Style” and his Design “Dos” and Dont’s”. We also chat about how Martyn was cast on Bravo’s classic “Million Dollar Decorators” and his relationships with his co-stars Mary McDonald, Kathryn Ireland, and Jeffrey Alan Marks. Martyn also chats about some of his Celebrity Clients, and their design styles, such as Cher, Kylie Jenner (whose Architectural Digest Cover was the highest ranked Design Story of all time, 1.6 Billion and Counting), Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, The Osbournes Sharon, Ozzy and Kelly, Gwen Stefani, RuPaul and Cindy Crawford. @martynbullard @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: INDEED - indeed.com/velvet ( Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Upgrade Your Job Post ) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams, Even the Royals. They’ll take you inside the cloistered world of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come at the expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life.

MARC BOUWER (on Sonja Morgan, RHONY, Beyoncé, Rihanna & Project Runway)
New York City Fashion Week has come and gone and, once again, it was filled with Real Housewives. NYFW and Real Housewives made us think about this epic chat that we had during our first year with Fashion Icon Marc Bouwer. Marc has dressed them all and we are living for it. Marc tells us what it is like to work and socialize with with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Whitney Houston and Shania Twain. He also talks about what it was like dressing Angelina Jolie for the Oscars and the benefits and challenges of dressing Celebrities for any awards show. Marc discusses his own style, the men and women he thinks are best and worst dressed and what trends he likes and dislikes in the current state of fashion. We discuss the influence that Project Runway has had on the fashion industry, Bravo alum Christian Siriano, Joan and Melissa Rivers' ("Who are you wearing?") contribution to the industry and the effects a show like Fashion Police has had. We had to ask about potential dream clients such as Madonna and Cher. Of course, no sit down with Marc Bouwer is complete without discussing which Real Housewives he has dressed, his long standing relationship with Sonja Morgan both professionally and personally, and that killer Season Twelve reunion dress he made for Miss Morgan.

MELISSA GORGA’s Lookers Gentleman’s Club Ex-Colleague Tells All (on Whether Melissa Was a Stripper, Joey’s Club Visits, & RHONJ)
Melissa Gorga’s Lookers Gentleman’s Club Ex-Colleague Nicole Carrasquillo steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Nicole worked with Melissa Gorga at Lookers Gentleman’s Club in Elizabeth, NJ way back when before she was Mrs. Joey Gorga, before she was Tre’s sister in law, before RHONJ and before the infamous “Strippergate” which had, has and probably always will have Melissa claiming she was not a stripper. Nicole says, “not so fast” to Ms. Gorga as she details the inner workings of Lookers answering questions such as how often Melissa worked, what did she wear, why she denies various facts surrounding “Strippergate”, the clubs owner / manager’s appearance on RHONJ, the fallout on RHONJ and in real life after “Strippergate” for many parties involved, Joey Gorga’s frequent Lookers’ visits, how Joey met and courted Melissa and finally, hopefully, once and for all, did Melissa Gorga strip at Lookers. Nicole spills the tea on this topic that just will not go away, at least for today, that is. So pour yourself another cup of coffee, a large glass of wine and sit back and enjoy! @getfloored101 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/posts/90305894/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Today Kady is here to mention it all separating fact from fiction, weighing in on what she thinks is really going on between Kyle and Morgan and Mauricio, discussing her own relationship with Morgan and Kyle’s involvement in that relationship, opening up about what it is like to get dragged into this public viral triangle, chatting RHOBH - a show she was a fan of before all of this, opening up about the women - Morgan and herself - behind the public headlines and answering the question what next and where do we all go from here.

The Real Housewives Of DC's CAT OMMANNEY (on The Salahi White House Crash, FBI Involvement, Andy Cohen & RHODC)
The Real Housewives of DC’s Cat Ommanney steps Behind The Rope. With all this nostalgia running rapid in the BravoVerse these days, we figured it a great time to share this chat with the Real Housewives of DC OG - there was only one season after all - Cat Ommanney. Cat shares stories that sound like they are straight out of Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning, it makes us wonder if she has called B or her team of super powered attorneys. Cat gets reminiscent about what it was like to film the one season wonder, shares her feelings on her cast-mates Mary Amons, Linda Erkiletian, Stacie Scott Turner and last, but certainly not least, Michaele Salahi (now Schon) and fills us in on the status of those relationships today. On a more serious note, Cat discusses the issues of racism and politics that were ever present during the RHODC season. Of course, we address how the show was impacted by the worldwide, viral country security breach of the Salahi's “crashing” The White House Dinner. We discuss the implications of having production temporarily shut down, the involvement of the FBI, the federal investigation not only into the Salahis but Bravo as well, and why the show was not “green lit” for a much needed second season. Oh hey there Michaele and Tareq. In typical Cat fashion, nothing is held back and we wouldn’t expect anything less. @catommanney @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Danielle Cabral vs. Jennifer Aydin, Jackie & Tre BFFs and Why We Wont See Much of Joey or Luis Next Season
Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral got into an altercation this past week. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral were suspended while Bravo investigated the incident. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have resumed filming RHONJ Season 14 and are back to work. We break our silence on the matter, investigate what truly happened, discuss what this means for the rest of Season 14, analyze why both women have returned to work, chat about what this means for the future of RHONJ, share our thoughts on who was in the right and who was in the wrong and count the seconds before one Miss Bethenny Frankel says, “See, I told ya so” a la her “Reality Reckoning”. Speaking of RHONJ, we discuss the alliance shifts - Jackie vs Marge, Jackie and Teresa’s new friendship, Jackie and Jennifer Aydin, Melissa and Danielle Cabral and much more. Finally, we discuss which RHONJ are having a good season, which are having a bad season and why we will see much less of Joey Gorga, Luis Ruelas and the House Husbands when RHONJ Season 14 returns next year. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/90027133/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Girls Gone Wild, Bethenny's Master Plan and Teresa & Melissa's Potential BravoCon Reunion
Based on last season of RHONJ and the current tea being spilled from this season of RHONJ, we have to start today’s show with a very basic statement that everyone on, in and associated with RHONJ has lost their mind. Moving on, we analyze whether Shannon’s DUI is the best storyline ever or will cause her to lose her job and doll out advice on what she needs to do to turn her life around and overcome this trauma. For all those who think we should start an advice podcast in our non existent spare time, this one is for you. Next we analyze what could be Bethenny Frankel’s true motives for the “Reality Reckoning”, why we would benefit from these motives and, once again, ask whether Bethenny is one step ahead of all of us in seeing the future of Reality TV, its methods of distribution and how to profit off this juggernaut medium. Finally, we share our Only Fans update, deep dive the official BravoCon schedule, discuss Melissa and Teresa’s potential BravoCon reunion and share all our thoughts from The Countess’ Cabaret in Philly which we attended this past week.

Blow Out's Jonathan Antin - (on Andy Cohen, WWHL, Bravo Early Days, Tabatha Coffey, & Madonna)!
Jonathan Anitn steps back Behind The Rope. Yes, that Jonathan Antin from the classic hit Bravo show, Blow Out. A blast from the past, here to tell it all. Does everyone know Patti Stanger has a new show coming to the CW? That got us thinking of Bravo of yesteryear and, as a result, today we share this chat we had during our first year with the one and only Jonathan Antin. We pick up right where we left off during our last sit down. Jonathan explains how he got hired as one of the lead judges on Bravo’s Shear Genius after Blow Out had ended. We discuss host Camila Alves and prior host Jaclyn Smith. We also discuss one of Shear Genius' contestants, Tabatha Coffey. Jonathan gives us his opinion of Tabatha, discusses whether he thinks she should have won her season, lets us know if her tough as nails persona is an act or real, and finally answers the question of whether she deserved her own show. Speaking of Bravolebrites, we discuss Jackie Warner’s appearance on Blow Out, what went wrong and the status of their relationship today. We also discuss all the other celebrities who appeared on Blow Out such as loyal clients Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin (they had other reality shows in the mix with Jonathan also - we discuss), Kristen Bell, Kate Bosworth, and, last but not least, sister Robin Antin, founder of The Pussycat Dolls. Jonathan tells some fun stories about his other Celeb clients, Courtney Love, Ricky Martin, Brad Pitt, Steven Tyler, Leo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow and, way to bury the lead, Queen Madonna (Lourdes in Tow)! We discuss the pressures from Bravo for Jonathan to involve his family in the show and how Blow Out came to an end shortly after his lack of a desire to do so. Finally, Jonathan opens up about the early days of Bravo, the origins of WWHL, his up and down relationship with Andy Cohen and what he thinks of how the network has evolved throughout the years. @jonathanantin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Y

Vanderpump Rules Finale Fall Out, Carl & Lindsay Questioned, Ariana & Tom's On Screen Future & Bad News For Jax
With chairs being thrown, make ups, break ups and a stellar performance that is good as gold, we figured it time to break down all of the gossip that has surfaced from the Vanderpump Rules Season Eleven Finale and then some. What really happened? Let’s discuss. Moving on, we share an update on Carl & Lindsay’s break up, address the rumors of an “other woman” who was almost a baby mama and question the validity of all of this. Did someone say $candoval 2.0? Next we share an update on Bethenny’s “Reality Reckoning”, break down her next move and share which Bravolebs are not at all happy with Ms. Frankel these days. Also, seems like Jax Taylor got some recent bad news and things may never be the same again. Finally, we have a little chat with our co-host based on her tell all exposé on us and discuss where we go from here! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WATERBOY - waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Actually Works) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Your Zone With a 30 Day Worry-Free Home Trial of Peloton Bikes) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

MARK GERAGOS - BETHENNY FRANKEL'S Reality Reckoning Attorney (Separates Fact From Fiction & Shares Status Update)
Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” Attorney Mark Geragos steps Behind The Rope. The man, the myth, the legend! As you know, Bethenny Frankel has started a Reality Reckoning. So much has been written, discussed, blogged about and hypothesized regarding Bethenny’s motivation, goals, and claims. Rather than speculate like the others, we figured we would go right to the source, Mr. Mark Garagos, who, along with fellow super attorney Bryan Freedman, have already spent countess hours hearing countless stories from Bravolebrities past and present regarding wages, contracts, working conditions, alleged false imprisonment, alleged forced alcohol, alleged revenge porn and much, much more. Mark helps make sense of the stories, claims and goals as we touch upon subjects such as Andy Cohen, Bethenny’s interview with Raquel Leviss, Raquel’s sexually explicit video, Bravo NDA’s, Real Housewives from every franchise and just what happens next in Miss Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” which is a force of nature that does not seem to be slowing down any time soon!!! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Your Zone With a 30 Day Worry-Free Home Trial of Peloton Bikes) WATERBOY - waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Actually Works) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

JONATHAN ANTIN (on The Early Days of Bravo, Housewives, Blow Out & Andy Cohen!) - I
Jonathan Anitn steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Jonathan Antin from the classic hit Bravo show, Blow Out. A blast from the past, here to tell it all. Does everyone know Patti Stanger has a new show coming to the CW? That got us thinking of Bravo of yesteryear and, as a result, today we share this chat we had during our first year with the one and only Jonathan Antin. Jonathan fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV screens. Jonathan explains how he was cast, the "reality” of the show Blow Out, his “employee” Brandon, his on screen “bad boy” image, and what filming was really like. Jonathan discusses Andy Cohen who, being an Executive Producer on Blow Out, was heavily involved in the show. Jonathan explains how, once Blow Out had ended, he almost had his own show “Salon Nightmares" - think Gordon Ramsay for Salons (hey we would watch that) and explains the circumstances which led to the demise of that show. Finally, we discuss the early days of Bravo and what the neophyte network was like back then during Jonathan’s tenure on Blow Out. We are just getting started. @jonathanantin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet ( Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Upgrade Your Job Post ) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season Four. The return of Mary Cosby. The introduction of Jen Shah’s ex assistant, turned FBI Informant, turned Snow Flake Holder.

DANA WILKEY (on Her Unfinished Business w/ Brandi Glanville & Taylor Armstrong and On Going Feuds w/ Rinna, PK & More RHOBH)
Dana Wilkey steps Behind The Rope. Where do we begin? Earlier this year, back in another life, se huddled up in a hotel room with Dana and turned on the mike. This is what resulted. We take a trip down RHOBH memory lane and get into all of Dana’s real life drama with many of the cast members throughout the years. Blocked by both Lisa Rinna and PK, we figured that was a great place to start. Of course, it has to do with Dorit. Dana details her fall out with PK and Rinna and what other diamond holders she is not in good graces with. Dana chats about her own time on the show, the difficulties of working with LVP and Camille Grammer and how she learned to “play the game” too little, too late. Dana explains why she would have liked to have been a part of RHUGT 2 (and 4) and the unfinished business with both Brandi Glanville and Taylor Armstrong she would like to resolve. Do tell. Dana does!! On a separate note, it is always difficult to determine, from a programming perspective, what to air on September 11th. We figured, this never before aired trip down memory lane with Ms. Wilke was a great choice. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who lost a family member, friend, co-worker, acquaintance and more on this horrible day. @wilkey_dana @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet ( Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Upgrade Your Job Post ) MTV Music Awards - (The MTV Music Awards are LIVE Tomorrow Night, September 12th at at 8pm EST / 7 CENTRAL) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

I have now re-listened to see if any of the Luke and Laura drama was foreshadowed, whether the return of João Franco was hinted at and much more.

Meghan King steps Behind The Rope. Did everyone like our two part chat with Meghan King last week? It seems most of you did. Kelly Dodd did not. Kelly Dodd slipped into our DMs to slam, destroy and cyber bully us because she did not like what Meghan King said about her. We break down Meghan’s statements, read Kelly’s harsh words, issue a reply and talk about the harsh realities of cyberbullying in the Bravo world - this is the second time Ms. Dodd has acted out toward us.

Finally, we discuss all those RHOA rumors regarding a total reboot a la RHONY style, RHOA rumors that the entire first year Season One cast will return Kim Zolciak in tow minus one Miss Nene Leakes, RHOA rumors that some of the current cast will stay and address the on line vitriol spewed at RHOA production, Bravo’s response and what happens now. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

As the new season of RHONJ is in full swinging filming with Teresa and Melissa still not speaking to each other, we check in with the leaked drama from set thus far, discuss how the rest of the season is likely to play out and which past RHONJ and RHONJ “Friends Of” are actually likely to return later this season despite all the on line chatter, fake news and rumors. In other news, with Jax, Kristen, Ramona and Mary Cosby back in the Bravo mix, we analyze how, where and why and whether there is a double standard when talent is let go seemingly for cause as to who the golden doors remain open to for a much hyped return. Finally, we discuss how and why Tom and Ariana are still living together, share Vanderpump Rules Season 11 filming updates and the likelihood that the franchise can achieve another season of Scandoval level drama without Ms. Leviss in tow.

Debbie chats about what it was like to be twenty two and personally invited by Barbara Walters to audition for a career changing job on a show that would go on for twenty six seasons and counting and become not only a culture defining hot topics go to but a piece of pop culture iconography which has been the subject of much controversy throughout the decades. Debbie chats co-hosts Barbara Walters, Star Jones, Meredith Viera and Joy Behar, the book Ladies Who Punch, what the backstage atmosphere was really like and many of The View’s famous co-hosts since - Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McCarthy, Candace Cameron Bure and last, but certainly not least, Meghan McCain!

KRISTIN CAVALLARI's Ex-BFF Tells All!
Everyone always asks me what my favorite reality shows of all time are and I always answer the same thing. Laguna Beach and The Hills. On that note and with the end of summer here on this holiday weekend, we figured it a great time to share this chat with Kelly Henderson, from Very Cavallari. Who watched Very Cavallari? Kelly is also known, in the media, as Kristin Cavallari’s ex-BFF. There were all those rumors after their fall out that she had an affair with Jay Cutler so we did the only thing we knew how to do, invite her on this podcast. We address all those rumors, chat about her once friendship with Jay and Kristin and discuss the real truth behind their epic fall out and whether it played any part in leading to Jay and Kristin’s very public divorce. Kelly mentions it all. @velvetsedge @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Sophia chats with us about how and where she first met Caitlyn Jenner, clarifies, yes we asked, the “status” of her relationship with Caitlyn as well as the rest of the Kardashian Brood, discusses the enigma that is Kanye West, breaks down some of the biggest misconceptions about herself and her relationship with Caitlyn and answers why the world is so enthralled with their “friendship” and obsessed with anything Kardashian related. Just how did the Ks become the world’s most famous family? Finally, we discuss the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and cross our fingers that our fav RHOBH franchise returns, as promised, this November! @hutchins_sophia @mylumasol @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ROCKET MONEY - rocketmoney.com/velvetrope (Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions & Manage Expenses The Easy Way) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off The Best Skincare Products With Code VELVET) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

Kim D.'s Teresa "Reconciliation", Podcast Exit, Our Response & Our RHONJ Apology!
There has been so much speculation, gossip and on line chatter about Teresa Giudice and Kim D’s rumored reconciliation. Today we break our silence on what we know, clarify whether these two have actually spoken or this is all just a fabricated internet rumor, Melissa’s involvement and likelihood this would, could and will ever lead to Kim’s much desired return to RHONJ. Next, we detail how this “reconciliation” led to Kim’s tossing us aside like a stale crust of bread, her constant twenty four seven disses, angry video rants and how, now that this serves as our official statement, it is something we will never ever speak on again regardless of comments, clap backs, and more angry and bitter statements from her camp or any other camp, podcast or blogger. Finally, in retrospect, we analyze the bias’ we allowed this podcast to be subjected to, talk the future - RHOBH (Nov 1), RHOP (Nov 5), RHOSLC (Next Week!) and apologize to several RHONJ cast members. All this and more. Cue the music…. @racheluchitelnyc @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88426499/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently filming Season Fourteen. We break down all the behind the scenes tea, the epic fights - John Fuda vs. Paulie and the fact that Teresa and Melissa are filming group “all cast” scenes without having yet to speak a word to each other.

With Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” lawsuit changing by the day, we figured it a great time to revisit this chat with Miss Peppermint. During this chat Peppermint detailed her time on Drag Race, the harsh filming conditions and the true gritty behind the scenes of how Reality TV works. Peppermint, who finished as runner-up in one of the most talked about seasons in Drag Race HERstory, takes us behind the scenes of Drag Race - what the casting and filming process was like, just how “hard” it was to make a great TV show, the other queens and what RuPaul is really like. We chat about her starring role on Broadway as Pythio in the epic Head Over Heels, a brilliant musical set to Go Go’s Music. Peppermint discusses her music inspirations such as Prince and what it was like to work with musical legends such as Debbie Harry.

What Housewives Joined Bethenny's "Reality Reckoning", Her Pitched Bravo Show, Hurricane Sutton & Denise Richards' RHOBH Revenge
Another day, another turn of events in Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”. With all the recent Real Housewives and current Bravolebrities who have come forward to state that they will not be participating in Bethenny’s cause, we deep dive just which Reality TV stars are assisting her and moving forward with super attorneys Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman. We next discuss Bethenny’s rumored reality show she pitched Bravo mere months prior, whether she is the right person to lead this charge, Andy Cohen’s response, whether Bravo is taking these claims of B’s seriously and how this could all affect many of your favorite Bravo shows as the months move on. In other news, Denise Richards’ upcoming RHOBH performance is said to be sweet revenge, the cast claims no one even missed Rinna, Erika denies Ozempic use and hurricane Sutton seems to have struck a cord with many of our favorite diamond holders as we prepare for a return date, as of today, for November 1st. Finally, we set the record straight regarding all the recent VPR Season 11 filming leaks, who has really forgiven Sandoval and who is not quite there yet and still keeping their distance. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Entire Order of The Best Shapewear) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Morgan Wade, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky film videos, make public appearances, leave social media comments all why seemingly laughing at us.

RACHEL UCHITEL (on Justice For Raquel Leviss, VPR's Future, Tiger Woods, & Feuding w/ Wendy Williams) - II
Vanderpump Rules Season 11. With rumors of cast make ups (have Scheana and Lala really forgiven Sandoval?), Tom Sandoval filming group scenes with Ariana and still no Raquel Leviss, we brought back Rachel Uchitel is back to help break it all down. Does anyone else see the similarities between the Rachel’s Uchitel and Leviss. Rachel Uchitel was blasted in the media, just like Leviss, all those years ago for her involvement with Tiger Woods, a narrative which still follows, and often haunts her, today. Rachel shares her story here today and we delve into the media’s obsession with bringing people down, the misogyny of it all when the “woman” is blamed much more significantly than the “married” man, how celebrities and people in the public eye are often misunderstood when defined by one moment in time, Rachel’s “Tiger” NDA, the validity and legality of NDAs when they are overly harsh and one sided and so much more. As we said, anyone see the similarities between these two Rachels? In other news, Rachel talks about her feuds throughout the years with the likes of Joy Behar, Janice Dickinson and, most recently, Wendy Williams. Of course, there was that one time she dated our very own Paul “PK” Kemsley pre Dorit. Way to bury the lead. All this and more!

After swapping stories from years of experience, we turn our attention to the latest Reality TV scandal, Below Deck breaking down the Luke and Laura controversy, analyzing how producers, Captain Jason, Aesha and Bravo handled the situation and ask whether situations like this would be mitigated or solved if Bethenny is successful in her fight against the powers that be. Speaking of reality tv injustices, we turn to Raquel Leviss, her recent statements on the matter (all roads lead back to Bethenny), the fact that everyone is filming Vanderpump Rules Season Eleven together despite claims they would not and reveal drama, spoilers and updates from behind the walls of Sur on this hope to be blockbuster of an upcoming season.

JASON WAHLER (on The Hills, Laguna Beach, Real vs Fake & the Injustices of Reality TV)
With everything going on with Bethenny Frankel’s lawsuit regarding the injustices of Reality TV, real vs fake, contracts and much more, we figured it was a great time to share this chat with one of the originals, Jason Wahler from Laguna Beach, The Hills and The Hills: New Beginnings. Of course, Jason takes us back to the beginning when he was just a high school student whose friends - Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, and Lo Bosworth - were cast on a TV show about their high school, otherwise known as Laguna Beach High. We discuss how Jason got involved in the show, how that show, Laguna Beach, spun off into The Hills and how, overnight, he could no longer go to the gas station or mall or mailbox without being recognized. With fame, the issues he was already struggling with became exacerbated, and he quickly spiraled out of control. There were public arrests and intoxication which eventually lead to rock bottom. Jason shares what that was like and how he eventually sought the help he needed through Dr Drew and other available resources to eventually make this his “life’s work”. Jason answers all of our questions, once and for all, about what specific scenes, events and happenings in The Hills were real and which were not real. We cover it all. So interesting to see how this chat holds up in light of everything going on with Bravo, Production, Bethenny and Andy Cohen today. @jasonwahler @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AQUATRU- aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Courtney Rhodes steps back Behind The Rope. With this epic Season 15 well underway, the reunion recently filmed and plenty of drama still to come, Courtney is here to mention it all. After a rocky start with Kandi, one thing became clear early on this season, Courtney speaks her truth, does not mince words and has no fear going up against an RHOA staple like Ms. Burruss.

Gina is here to chat about what it is like to be part of the most famous, successful and every other adjective you can think of girl group of all time, The Go-Go’s.

Gina explains how the musical “Head Over Heels” came to be, their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, working with Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez and her undying admiration and love for one Mr. Harry Styles. Finally, Gina dishes on what being a bad a$$ girl drummer means, what is next for the band and how this almost five decade long journey has been captured in her brilliant photo book “Made in Hollywood”!

Tom & Ariana Reconcile Kinda, Kyle Gets Closer To Morgan Wade, & Bethenny Frankel Lawyers Up To Strike
Vanderpump Rules filming is underway and Tom and Ariana just had their first group scene together. We break down that scene, whether, despite Ariana’s claims, there will be any one on one alone scenes of the two, share an update on Raquel and discuss the likelihood she really won’t return at all as this season moves on. Kyle is spending an awful lot of time with Morgan Wade for someone she says she is not involved with and for someone who claims her marriage to Mauricio is just fine. We analyze those claims plus address the narrative that Kyle is producing a documentary starring Morgan Wade and ask just how is Morgan enjoying her newfound Bravo adjacent fame. Back on the east coast, we chat the new RHONY, address all the recent headlines the cast is already making and whether Bravo and the fans are happy with this rebooted franchise. Finally, we share updates on Bethenny Frankel’s strike, Lisa Rinna’s involvement and whether the B can change the face of Reality TV, it’s contracts and the treatment of talent forever as she lawyers up with some of the best in the business. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

SONJA MORGAN'S INTERN (Spills The Tea About What This Iconic Position Really Entails!) - II
Sonja Morgan's Intern steps back Behind The Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Now that RHONY has been rebooted and is back on our TV screens and Sonja and her sidekick Luann are tearing it up in Crappie Lake each week, we figured it a great time to revisit this viral chat with one of Sonja Morgan’s iconic interns. Meghan talks about the application process, interview, first day on the job and fellow interns including the one and only Pickles. No discussion as an intern would be complete without discussing the iconic townhouse and iconic toaster! Full details provided. We also break down what a typical day and typical night as a Sonja Morgan Intern looks like. Yes, night because Meghan moved into the townhouse to be available 24/7 to Miss M. Of course, there were also the watch parties at Sonja's house during the Real Housewives of New York City Season and all that behind the scenes RHONY talk, the good, the bad, the in between - Ramona, Lu, and so on. Even our buddy Harry Dubin is part of this blockbuster episode. Didn't see that coming? Neither did we. Of course all good things must come to an end. We finally get into Meghan’s resignation, what that process looked like and how Sonja took the news.

With Raquel Leviss returning to Vanderpump Rules, we break down whether she was bound by a prior contract, held out for a boat load of money, came back as a wounded bird or strong warrior women who now goes by the name of Rachel.

Sonja Morgan's Intern steps Behind The Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Now that RHONY has been rebooted and is back on our TV screens and Sonja and her sidekick Luann are tearing it up in Crappie Lake each week, we figured it a great time to revisit this viral chat with one of Sonja Morgan’s iconic interns. Meghan talks about the application process, interview, first day on the job and fellow interns including the one and only Pickles. No discussion as an intern would be complete without discussing the iconic townhouse and iconic toaster! Full details provided. We also break down what a typical day and typical night as a Sonja Morgan Intern looks like. Yes, night because Meghan moved into the townhouse to be available 24/7 to Miss M. Of course, there were also the watch parties at Sonja's house during the Real Housewives of New York City Season and all that behind the scenes RHONY talk, the good, the bad, the in between - Ramona, Lu, and so on. Even our buddy Harry Dubin is part of this blockbuster episode. Didn't see that coming? Neither did we. Of course all good things must come to an end.

SHAMARI DEVOE (on RHOA, Nene Leakes, Cast Mates & "Bring It On")
Shamari DeVoe and Brandi Williams Step Behind The Rope. Checking in from the ATL, Shamari and Brandi are here to discuss it all. Are you guys loving this season of RHOA? We figured it was a great time to share our chat with this one season RHOA wonder and her bandmate as we watch on. Having met when they were just teenagers, Brandi and Shamari went on to form supergroup Blaque. Of course, no discussion of Blaque would be complete without a nod to the late Lisa "Left Eye Lopes" who helped discover and mentor Blaque. It is also the 20th anniversary of "Bring It On", which both Shamari and Brandi starred in alongside Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst. We discuss what it was like to work alongside those two film veterans plus what Cheerleading Practice and those seemingly impossible stunts were really like. Of course we HAD to ask Shamari all about what being a real Housewife of Atlanta was like, the last time she spoke to Nene Leakes and the rest of the current cast, and how husband Ronnie DeVoe was doing. Put down those Peaches folks and take a listen to this fun filled episode with Shamari and Brandi. @shamaridevoe @thebrandid @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

RHONJ Moving Forward w/ Both Teresa & Melissa, Dorit Kemsley Gets Sued, Kathy & Kyle Reconcile Maybe
RHONJ. For a franchise on pause, Andy sure seems to be talking a lot about its future. We discuss Andy’s recent comments that RHONJ can move forward without Teresa, without Melissa or with both in place when the show resumes filming later this year (hopefully) or sometime next year (hopefully). We analyze who has played the RHONJ end game better - Tre or Mel and how Bravo can ensure everyone gets along and films together, if that is what they prefer, when the show returns to our beloved TV screens. One thing is for sure amidst all this uncertainly, RHONJ will feel very different when it does finally return. In other Bravo news, Teresa blocks Lala Kent, Dorit Kemsley gets sued, and Kathy and Kyle reconcile, or at least pretend to. Ok, if that is not enough, just press play cause we have got a lot more to cover here today folks. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Ariana & Raquel's Future Reconciliation, Faith Stowers "Sues" Stassi, Jax's VPR Return & Kim vs Kroy Gets Ugly
While we contemplate whether the drama between Teresa and Melissa and future cast of RHONJ has replaced Scandoval as Bravo’s most talked about topic these days, we recap this insane season and put a bow on it now that it has ended. Speaking of Scandoval, we discuss how the VPR cast seems to be hedging and softening on their stance toward Raquel, what next season of the show will most likely look like and whether there is any world in which we exist where Ariana can one day forgive Raquel and unite against Tom Sandoval - at least for TV if nothing else - moving forward. In other VPR news, Faith Stowers starts a “Go Fund Me” to sue Stassi Schroeder and have her book removed from shelves, Jax Taylor makes moves to return and more. Next we break down just how ugly Kim and Kroy’s divorce is getting and just how broke they are.

Tyler Henry steps back Behind The Rope. You may think you know everything about Tyler from watching his original E blockbuster show, “Hollywood Medium”, eyeing his most recent Netflix incarnation, “Life After Death”, reading his many books or attending a live show in hopes of making it off this 300,000 person long wait list for a rare live reading. Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction in his highly praised, often misunderstood, day job of a medium as well as chat about how he started, what happens during a reading, and the question on everyone’s mind, just what does really happen after we die.

RHONJ (Can We Move Forward With Both Teresa & Melissa?) & RHOBH (Will There Be Any Real Drama Next Season?)
With the most toxic season in RHONJ history finally over, we discuss the many expected and rumored cast changes, who is likely to go and who is likely to keep their job and whether there is any way for The Real Housewives of New Jersey to move forward with both Melissa and Teresa. On that note, we analyze whether Melissa and Joe Gorga or Teresa regret any of their season long, or past ten year, behavior and whether the potential loss of millions of dollars a year was really worth a brutal family feud which does not seem to headed toward reconciliation any time soon. In other RHONJ news, we share an update with Juicy Joe, chat the FBI and why the public is really, really, finally over these storylines. Heading west, we discuss why Erika Jayne is a survivor who will always land on her feet, what to expect when RHOBH returns on November 1st and whether there are no leaks this upcoming season because Lisa Rinna is gone or because there is simply nothing worthy of leaking. Finally, speaking of Lisa Rinna, we discuss which Housewives play the game well and which get caught up in the drama so much they are the cause of their own ultimate demise. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Juicy is here today to mention it all from his first season as an OG House Husband to the current day RHONJ drama that we are seeing unfold on this epic Three Part Season Thirteen Reunion which is likely to go down as the most toxic, volatile, hostile showdown in history between housewives and which has led to an RHONJ Pause likely to result in multiple cast terminations when the show eventually returns in, hopefully, 2024. Joe holds nothing back when discussing his own legal situation, time in jail and ultimate deportation addressing all the recent claims that The Gorgas were somehow involved.

The RHONJ Reunion Part Two. Where do we begin? Tre says she is Namaste, Melissa says she is not going, Marge claims Luis is up to no good, Danielle is told she was set up, Andy needs to yell and oh, so much more. As the reunion unfolds, it becomes clearer and clearer what is going to happen when the RHONJ Pause - sorry Andy, but it is true - ends, who will be terminated, who will survive and what we can expect RHONJ to look like next season when filming begins. As far as to when filming actually resumes, we share info we have learned and when we an expect Bravo contracts to really go out. In preparation for the House Husbands next week, Mr. Luis Ruelas is not having a good week. We break down our attorney, Doug Anton, and friend, Vanessa Reiser’s, recent claims against Luis involving alleged “stalking", Margaret’s claims that he called her son with “threats” at work, Rachel Fuda’s claims that he tried to interfere with her family all while Tre just denies, denies, denies.

VPR Reunion Fallout, Raquel's Sanity, Ariana's Arrogance, RHOBH New Season Leaks & Return of Rinna
With this season of Vanderpump Rules finally over, we discuss what Raquel Leviss is going to do now after a much buzzed about reunion performance, whether each of the VPR cast have and are still overacting to Scandoval, whether treating Lisa Vanderpump as an equal and not superior is alright after ten season, how much Tom Sandoval must be enjoying life with near sold out shows and tons of screaming women, who besides Ariana wins the most from this affair and when the general public will finally tire of talking about this topic twenty four seven. Next, we analyze whether there are no RHOBH Season Thirteen leaks because Lisa Rinna has been let go or whether there are no RHOBH leaks because, well, there is nothing worthy of leaking. On that note, we discuss whether we can expect to see Lisa Rinna, Kim Zolciak or a handful of other past drama seekers and stirrers back on our Housewives screens sooner than later.

Despite Andy Cohen’s recent claims that there is no RHONJ pause, we deep dive Andy’s “damage control”, reveal why there is, in fact, an RHONJ pause, discuss the real reasons for the pause, break down the claims that the pause is because of Luis Ruelas’ allegedly “shady” business practices and how RHONJ will move forward after its most toxic, hostile season which Bravo would like to greatly distance itself from. Speaking of RHONJ, we share our hot takes on which cast members are most likely in jeopardy of losing their jobs, which are secure and whether there is any world in which the show can return from the pause with all of our fav Garden State ladies intact. In other news, we discuss whether Bethenny Frankel’s new business endeavor is extremely desperate or absolutely brilliant, how she singlehandedly could have saved RHONY Legacy and why she should just call her BFF Andrew and ask for her job back. Finally, we discuss Erika Jayne’s rumored new boyfriend, predict what Erika’s future love life will look like and explain why Kim Zolciak Biermann needs to get on the first plane, coach class, to Beverly Hills for a sit down with The Pretty Mess sooner rather than later. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

JAI RODRIGUEZ (on Queer Eye, Scandoval, Real Housewives, Bros, Early Bravo & Representation) - I
Jai Rodriguez steps back Behind The Rope. The man originally known to the masses, or at least us Bravo die hards, as the original “Culture Vulture” returns to mention it all. Jai fills us in on all that he has been up to since the last time he was here - Bros, Fire Island, Uncoupled and More. Jai chats about his early days in New York City nightlife, starring on Broadway at a young age in Rent and the challenges he faced as a gay, non-white man trying to break into an industry that was far less inclusive than it is today. Jai chats the original Queer Eye, early days of Bravo, Real Housewives, current Netflix Queer Eye, cast mates and what the original Fab Five have in store for the upcoming 20th anniversary. Of course, there are also his many series regular and guest appearances on Malibu Country - shout out Heather Dubrow, Nip/Tuck - shout out Ryan Murphy, Grey’s Anatomy - shout out Shonda Rhimes and many more. @jairodriguez @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

PETER MADRIGAL (on VPR Reunion, Disrespect To LVP, VPR Pause, James' Antics & How Cast Moves Forward)
The Vanderpump Rules Reunion has exploded onto our Bravo TV sets and we are only at Part I. VPR OG himself, Mr. Peter Madrigal, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of it all. For the first time ever, Andy Cohen sits down separately with Ariana, Tom and Raquel. Did we get any answers or did the more each of them talk, the more questions we actually had? We break down a very angry, let me get off the couch multiple times, James Kennedy, a seemingly distraught Scheana Shay, a confused Schwartzy and a ready for business Andy Cohen. We chat about both Lala and Ariana’s clap backs to Lisa Vanderpump and whether LVP is “fair game” for the VPR cast or whether she is above being questioned by her once Sur Staff. Peter breaks down the coming attractions for the Reunion Part II and III, Ariana’s claims that she wont film with Tom or Raquel, the many false rumors surrounding next season, the VPR “pause”, potential spin offs and where the show and cast go from here amidst the Scandoval and season long epic drama. @peter_madrigal @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The RHONY Reboot finally has an air date of July 17th, 2023 and The RHONY RHUGT is headed back to St. Barts. In celebration of these accomplishments from the Housewives of one of our current three home towns - perhaps The Real Housewives of The Hamptons is coming next - we figured it time to deep dive and see how well this chat with the one and only Miss Eboni K. Williams holds up and see how interesting, prolific and foreshadowing of the RHONY future this chat was. This in person sit down occurred right after the end of Season Thirteen when the Franchise went on permanent pause causing both a Reboot and a Legacy, now Girls Trip. In light of Ramona being phased out of Legacy and now, with no options left to turn to once Jill Zarin passed, back in the fold as needed.

KIM D. (on Truth Behind RHONJ Pause, Tre's Wedding, Andy's Anger Toward Luis & RHONJ's Future)
Ever since we shared our thoughts on, and explained the real reason behind, the RHONJ pause last week, there has been tons of incorrect on line chatter about how, what, why, and when surrounding the pause, what happens now and how does RHONJ move forward with a cast divided. Today Kim D. is here to address the multitude of incorrect claims and theories and to reveal how RHONJ is likely to move forward when the pause is over in the, most likely, far distant future. On a happier note, if you have not heard, Teresa got married. Kim breaks down Teresa’s wedding special, all the foreshadowing of why she is now likely to get her own spin off series a la Tardy For The Party and how, regardless of the future of RHONJ, there is good news in the air for one Dolores Catania and one Jennifer Aydin. Finally, we talk about Luis’ RHONJ Reunion behavior, new developments in the nasty - it is finally over - feud between Mel and Tre, Andy Cohen’s disdain for Mr. Ruelas and much, much more. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83488108/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Vanderpump Rules Pause, Reunion, Cast Changes & Why Ariana May Leave VPR
You have heard of the RHONJ pause but seems we have a similar situation over on the West Coast. The Producers of Vanderpump Rules and Bravo do not know how to move forward with a cast divided, Ariana’s recent claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel and a strong obvious desire to not lose Tom or Ariana with ratings close to two million people for the finale and current reunion episodes. Money talks and everyone has a price, but even with money, is Ariana leaving VPR and headed to greener, more relaxing pastures. With Dancing With The Stars, endorsement deals, appearances on The View, dinners at Daniel, one of New York City’s top restaurants, and an upcoming Lifetime Movie under her belt, we discuss why Ariana may be the Christine Quinn of Pump Rules ready to rise above it all. With Tom’s ability to seemingly remain unaffected, a rumored girl in every port and rock band that, after the attending the live show, is actually pretty good, we break down how Raquel, or as y’all like to call her, Rachel is the one who seems to “lose” from all things Scandoval. All this plus our thoughts on Sending It To Darrel, Poo Poo Heads, Worms With Mustaches and one epic several part reunion which is going to go down in history as some of the realest Reality TV, well, ever! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com (20% Off With Code VELVET) FACTOR - factormeals.com/velvet 40 (Use Code VELVET40 To Get 40% Off Your First Box) ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet for 15% Off For A Limited Time) JUNE'S JOURNEY - (Download June’s Journey For Free Today on Apple iOS or Android) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Vanderpump Rules Finale not only shocked the world and was some of the realest Reality TV ever but came in at a record season high of almost two million viewers.

Crew President, Jenna Lyons, and how this franchise will fare when it premieres on our Bravo screens later this summer.

David candidly opens up about his struggles with coming out, the role his faith played in those struggles, a much needed hiatus from the biz to discover himself, reconciling his faith with who he truly is, the media’s obsession with his dating life and the lows he hit growing up on a massive stage, both figuratively and literally, while trying to figure it all out.

Jacqueline reminisces about her time on the show - table flips, Stripper Gate, family drama and one epic fallout with the still star of RHONJ, Teresa, back when she, Tre, Dina, Caroline and Danielle Staub had no idea of what they were doing, were making authentic TV and could never have predicted what RHONJ would morph into today.

RHONJ Exclusives/ Leaks/ Future, Vanderpump Rules Reunion, & Why TreHuggers Need To Be Very Concerned
With several fake and false RHONJ Reunion Stories leaked as well as the leaked edited Vanderpump Rules finale, we chat about the source of these leaks, why bloggers make up “fake news” for clicks and what Bravo plans to do going forward to prevent such false info from circulating. Speaking of RHONJ, we chat about the many new claims and investigations involving Luis Ruelas, what this means for TreHuggers, the changes in Teresa’s camp as a result, and where the star of RHONJ and her hubby go from here. Déjà Vu much? Moving on to, shocker, The Scandoval, we discuss why watching Vanderpump Rules is cringeworthy at best, Tom Sandoval’s possible danger and cry for help, Raquel’s true whereabouts and whether LVP had a little too much of a hand in setting the Scandoval in motion. Whew.

JERRY SPRINGER (on an Iconic Career & Life Well Lived) - A Tribute Interview
Jerry Springer. A trailblazer. The first. An Icon. A man who at one time was more famous than Oprah. The Godfather of Reality TV. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jerry not once but twice to chat about his prolific career. Today we share both of these chats as we look back and honor Jerry’s life well lived. Jerry chats about the full anthology of his career which, of course, includes the groundbreaking Jerry Springer Show and all those trailblazing disputes, wig pulls, accusations, cheating rumors, paternity issues and everything else under the sun that laid the groundwork for The Real Housewives of every city which we have come to know and love today. Jerry recalls highlights, outrageous guests and some of the most shocking moments. We chat with Jerry about current day Reality TV and his role in helping create the landscape of Housewives, Fiancés That Last for 90 Days and Love that Comes After Being Locked Up and / or Happens on an Island. Jerry also opens up about the current offerings of Daytime TV - Ellen, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd - his favorites, not so favorites and how cancel culture has come to play a role in it all. We pay homage to some of Jerry’s other forays into television - a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, a judge on America’s Got Talent, playing himself on Roseanne and his recent short lived star turn as The Beetle on Fox’s super hit The Masked Singer. Jerry reflects back on a career most can only dream of discussing highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of himself, his legacy and how he wants to be remembered. Let’s all chant it together.

In light of Brandi’s recent tweets that the current narrative regarding Caroline Manzo and RHUGT Four is “ruining her life” and are false, we discuss whether her involvement with Girls Trip Four will really affect her Bravo future and just what that would mean for all involved, the network and Housewives of every other franchise.

Never judge a book by its cover. When I sat down to prepare for this chat with then Vanderpump Rules newcomer, Charli Burnett, I said what the F am I going to talk to her about. She had been on the screen maybe 5 mins max up to that point. Boy have I never been so wrong. This interview took place right around the time Stassi and Kristen were infamously fired. This chat turned out to be an expose of hazing the new girl by what Charlie called the “mean girls” - Stassi, Kristen, Katie and last, but certainly not least, Jax and LVP’s involvement in it all. The more Charli talked, the more specific examples of mean girl behavior she gave, the more I could move believe my ears.

HEATHER & TERRY DUBROW (on RHOC, Botched, Cast Mates & The Swan)
With all this talk about the RHOC trailer dropping any day now, we figured it was a great time to share this hidden gem from our back feed with Heather and Terry Dubrow. Right before Heather announced she was returning to RHOC, we sat down with both and of course asked, “would you ever return?” Were the clues here, did she know, did they know they were soon going to sell Chateau Dubrow and most important of all, how excited are y’all for the return of RHOC and Tamra Judge. Of course, with Terry in tow, we talk all about Botched as well as that other brilliant, classic Reality TV show he was a part of, The Swan. @heatherdubrow @dr.dubrow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

KIM D. (on The Gorga's Cease and Desists, RHONJ Gag Orders, Delusional 250K Deal & Luis' Strange Behavior)
Before we get to today’s regularly scheduled RHONJ recap, Kim D. comes in hot to chat about all the real life drama happening with The Gorgas - and other cast members - in the real world. With The Gorgas serving Bravo Bloggers with Cease and Desist Orders, being asked by Bravo to “gag” what they say and stop the toxic interviews and being subjected to and faced with a Change.org on line petition to “Fire Melissa Gorga”, Kim shares her hot takes on whether Melissa is acting scared knowing it is the last season of her $1.5 million dollar paycheck or a smart business woman just trying to protect her financial future. With rumored friendship break ups all over the Garden State and Big Apple, Kim turns her attention to one of the most awkward episodes in Housewives History a la Luis Ruelas, a $250K business deal steeped in delusion and bad math and, once again, two newbies Cabral and Fuda who have come correct to play, who mean business and who have already made their lasting impression on fans worldwide in just a few short episodes. With a jam packed week, let us cue the music and begin our weekly Sat chat with the only and only, Miss Kim D! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/80726894/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Raquel Leviss - a Brilliant Mastermind or Wounded Bird / Afraid to Film VPR or Holding Out for Huge Pay Day ?
Raquel Leviss has us confused. Normally we can read people from here til Sunday but Raquel remains a mystery to us. As our good friend Lala Kent says, “you cannot be dumb and smart at the same time”. On that note, we share our hot takes on whether Raquel is a brilliant mastermind who has manifested her destiny into one of the most recognizable names in Reality TV villain history or a wounded little bird who is a victim of a not ideal upbringing just looking for love, or comfort, in all the wrong places. In addition, we deep dive whether Raquel is scared to go outside and film more Vanderpump Rules’ scenes than the one she already filmed with Sandoval or is purposely holding out for a huge pay day to return next season and / or to attend the sure to be highest rated reunion in VPR history. Finally, taking a break from The Scandoval of it all, we break down all the Real Housewives, Reality TV Stars and Iconic Hollywood legends who have blocked us over the years and explain exactly why.

Everyone’s favorite King, Carlos that is, returns to chat about all that keeps us up at night in the BravoVerse. With Lisa Rinna out of RHOBH, we look ahead to next season - what will the franchise be like without Lisa, who will step forward and take the much needed villain role, will Rinna ever admit she was terminated, allegedly, and last, but certainly not least, where and when will Kathy Hilton enter the picture and start filming this new season. Heading east, we chat RHONY - Legacy & Reboot and break down why Alex McCord really returned to the Bravo World to film RHUGT 4 and what we can expect from this “wild card” when and if the much publicized fourth installment ever makes its way to be seen. Finally, Carlos weighs in on what we expect to be Melissa Gorga’s last season, discusses why Teresa is really a changed woman these days, why the decade old Tre vs Mel feud is finally over and where RHONJ goes moving forward.

MARY AMONS (on RHODC, Salahi White House Crash & Early Days of Bravo)
With all this Scandoval talk, we cannot help but reminisce about the early days of Vanderpump Rules. Reminiscing about the early days of VPR makes us reminisce about the early days of Bravo which makes us reminisce about many of the early gone, but not forgotten, Bravo shows. One of those shows is Real Housewives of DC. Today we share this gem from our back catalogue with one of the five RHODC cast members, Mary Amons. Mary chats about her time on the show, cast mates and the difficulties of casting a show with wives in the political sector. Of course, the conversation turns to the infamous Salahi White House crash and the implications, not only for them, but the entire Real Housewives of DC cast, franchise and Bravo as a network from this one event. Did you know RHODC production was shut down for several weeks while Congress and The White House launched a thorough investigation into this breach of US security. Luckily the show went on, bringing us 5 amazing women who have earned their place in Housewives history as one of the only Bravo shows ever involved in a nationwide political scandal.

Spilling Tea on New RHOBH Season, RHONY Reboot, RHOP Revamp & Summer House Spin Off (w/ Kempire)
So much going on in the BravoVerse, so little time to make sense of it all. Luckily we have Kempire here today to help chip away on all that has been keeping us up at night. We break down the new season of RHOBH currently filming sans Rinna, discuss the changes RHOP needs to make going forward, and which franchises are past their prime and should be retired to the Bravo graveyard and, or put on pause to be revamped. Speaking of revamped, we discuss the RHONY reboot, what we are hoping to see when it returns to our screens later this year, take a temperature from you, the listener, as to your level of excitement for this reboot and talk the demise of RHONY legacy. Finally, we deep dive the days of Bravo past analyzing the classics we would love to see return with a vengeance. @thekempire @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DRIZLY - drizly.com ( Buy Beer, Wine & Liquor All From One Website) OUAI - theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

PETER MADRIGAL (Shares Updates on Tom/Raquel Scandoval, Ariana, Scheana's "Involvement", LVP, & Doute's Return)
Peter Madrigal steps Behind The Rope. Tom and Ariana broke up. The BravoVerse, mainstream media and world seem to want to talk about nothing else but this breakup twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. We could not think of anyone better than the man who has not only been there since Season One, Episode One of Vanderpump Rules and has worked at Sur since before the Bravo cameras descended, but who has also dated Raquel himself to stop by, take a shot or two of vodka - he does - and give us an up close an personal seat to a the scandal heard around the world. Peter deep dives how we got here, discusses his own relationships with all parties involved, the many public statements from Tom and Raquel and constant news tabloid fodder, some true, much very false, filling our DMs and IG feeds night and day. Peter shares updates from LVP, shares his hot takes on Kristen Doute’s return, talks Schwartz’s tough predicament, analyzes Lala, James and Scheana’s reactions and what this all means for the rest of this season - cameras are rolling - of Vanderpump Rules and future of this ever changing top Bravo show that many counted out apparently way, way too soon.

KAREN GRAVANO (on Mob Wives, The Mob, Her Dad Sammy The Bull, The Lifestyle & Cast Mates!) - II
Everyone always asks us what our favorite interviews of all time are. The answer is always the same. Since we interview so many people a week, it is always changing! That said, THIS chat with Mob Wives’ Karen Gravano is one of our absolute favorites. NO question was off limits! For all who have missed this epic chat, we share it here today! Wasting no time, David & Karen delve right in to her childhood and the moment she realized her life was “different" than that of others based, in part, on a murder outside one of her father's, Sammy The Bull’s, nightclubs. Other than a few other factors which tipped Karen off to the fact that this wasn’t how many families lived, Karen discusses her “normal” (for lack of a better word) childhood - dating, friends, having a “cousin" whose family the Donnie Brasco movie was based on. After discussing the definition of important words such as “Mafia”, “Loyalty" and “Rat”, Karen and David talk about “The Gotti Tapes”, the domino effect fall out that thereafter followed, and the subsequent end of the relationship between Gotti and Sammy The Bull. David and Karen analyze the Mob lifestyle and all that comes along with it - the made guys, competing families and, at the end of the day, family togetherness and love.

KIM D. (on Scandoval / Raquel / Ariana Mess, Newbie Advice, RHONJ Recap & Message for Marge)
Tom and Ariana broke up. The BravoVerse, mainstream media and world seem to want to talk about nothing else but this breakup twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Although we do not necessarily agree with that sentiment, Kim D. helps us break down all the events which led up to this break up, Tom and Raquel’s recent “formal” statements, the reaction of Vanderpump cast members, Andy Cohen and LVP, the “revenge porn” ban, cease and desist letters, retraining orders and last, but certainly not least, what this means for the future of VPR and true possibility of past cast members Jax, Stassi and or Kristen returning - yes rumors are Kristen is in talks. Moving on, Kim breaks down this week’s episode, shares her updated thoughts on newbies Cabral and Fuda, has a message for Marge involving Siggy and names her MVP and Messy Boots of this week’s RHONJ. Finally, as part of her ReWife, thank you Bethenny Frankel, Kim breaks down Season Two, Episode One. Seeing as this episode is her official RHONJ premiere, we have a lot to say to Miss D. whose freshman appearance was shady AF and in true Rope fashion, we have no problem calling out our regular Sat Dutchess for all of her messiness.

If all that was not a mouthful, we discuss the new season of currently filming RHOBH and whether Lisa Vanderpump’s recent on line activity suggests she really does want to rejoin this ratings blockbuster. In other west coast news, all is not well in RHOC land as Gina Kirschenheiter is downgraded to “friend of” while Taylor Armstrong is going to be holding an orange when RHOC returns later this year - we break that down and discuss what it really means for the next season of Orange County.

With a Juicy Joe / Joe Gorga “run in” we never thought we needed again in our lives, we figured it time to regroup on all the drama that has been taking place both on and off screen in the RHONJ world over the past few weeks. With what looks like Melissa Gorga’s last season, we discuss life after housewives and which of our fav ladies have landed on their feet with a career after the inevitable - unless your name is Teresa or Kyle - termination and which are still struggling to get back on their feet. We chat Lisa Rinna’s current “booked and busy” status, Andy Cohen’s favorite housewives and why Housewives on Ozempic is still a hot topic all these months later. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

Today, the lawyer most closely associated with the Girardi case, who has been covering Tom and Erika’s legal woes before any of us focused on these matters, is here to help make sense of it all. Ronald clarifies Erika’s criminal and civil legal exposure, the incorrect assumption that whether she “knew” or did not “know” is the threshold for culpability, the recent IRS tax liens and possibility of Bravo garnishing her RHOBH wages. Of course, we deep dive the ever changing saga of the famed earrings, Ronald’s purchase of them, legal motivation for this purchase and oh so much more.

JOEY ZAUZIG (on Real Friends of WeHo, Drag Race, BFF Meredith Marks & Getting a Haircut w/ Lisa Rinna!)
The Real Friends of WeHo’s Joey Zauzig steps Behind The Rope. Now that the freshman season of the hit MTV show has come and gone, Joey reflects upon the season breaking down highs and lows both on and off screen. Joey chats cast mates - welcome back to our screens Brad Goreski, Curtis’ coming out, the many misperceptions surrounding Todrick Hall and how there is no love lost with Jaymes and Dorion. Of course, Joey addresses all the controversy surrounding the show since its release - a shortened Drag Race, claims against appropriate and diverse community representation, whether the cast are “real” friends, social media threats, ratings and last but certainly not least, all those WeHo bars that turn off the show and cheer once Drag Race has ended. Joey discusses why he thinks the show is important for the future of LGBTQIA programming, what a potential Season Two would look like, who would most likely not return and why the Drag Race loyalists should have accepted this show with open arms. Finally, after having made an appearance this season, Joey chats BFF Meredith Marks, fav Real Housewives and franchises and that one time he got his hair done at Sally Hershberger next to Lisa Rinna! @joeyzauzig @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ZOCDOC - zocdoc.com/velvetrope (Once On The Website, Download The Zocdoc App For Free To Book a Top Rated Doctor Today) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

KIM D. (on The Gorgas' Paranoia, Teresa's Show, Rachel Fuda's Half Truths & Cabral vs. Goldschneider)
Kim D. is in rare form today as she breaks down Teresa’s latest interview - her laugh at the mention of The Gorgas “next season”, the revelation that her bro visited her in jail only once and for the camera$, her calm demeanor and - dare we say - well spoken verbiage and last, but certainly not least, friendly reminder to all listening and watching that this is The Real Housewives of Teresa. In other news, Kim addresses the Gorga’s seemingly paranoid claims that an evil force is out to get them and addresses the rumors that she, and this very Podcast, are those forces. Tuning our attention to this week’s RHONJ episode, Kim explains the real reason Melissa was crying in the bathroom, the real reason Josephina did not attend his sister’s housewarming, who came out ahead in Cabral vs. Goldschneider Round Two, who came out ahead in Aydin vs. Fuda Round Two, the involvement of Dolo and Marge, the on screen half truths spewed forth by Fuda and oh so very much more.

Brandi Glanville Update, Lala Kent As The Next RHOSLC, Lisa Rinna's New Gig & Caroline Manzo Potential Lawsuit
When all is said and done and the dust has settled, while we wait for the edited version of RHUGT 4 to premiere and/or for Bravo/NBC Universal Legal to make an official statement - which may never happen, we break down what we really believe happened between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville in Morocco earlier this month which set the BravoVerse into a tailspin. Next, we put our legal hats on and break down Caroline Manzo’s potential legal claims, likelihood she will actually sue, and likelihood if she does plan to sue anyone will ever hear about it before money is secretly and quietly exchanged behind the scenes. We also discuss the larger ramifications this alleged interaction between Manzo and Glanville will have on the rest of Bravo programming, Bravolebrities and the industry of Reality TV as a whole. On a lighter note, we deep dive the one Reality TV star we think could save RHOSLC from itself, chit chat whether Lisa Rinna is trying too hard to after her RHOBH exit and share our hot takes on whether Bravo ever planned to really give us a RHONY Legacy show.

SUMMER HOUSE'S STEPHEN MCGEE (on Fallout with Carl Radke, Vintage Summer House & Drama w/ Cast)
Today we share our first ever Summer House interview. Stephen McGree, back when Summer House was the little Bravo show that could. We talk all about those early seasons and how we never could have predicted the mega hit that it has become. Of course, this is BTVR so we all bring the drama. Duh, we would not have it any other way. David sits down with Stephen McGee from Bravo’s Summer House. Stephen explains what filming Summer House was like, answering questions such as what is real versus not real and how “involved" the producers are in the editing of the show. Stephen doesn’t hold back in discussing which of his cast mates had legitimate drama during filming and who he considers to have created fake storylines. Stephen is brutally honest when telling us who he thinks made the show interesting and who he considers boring AF. We discuss his tumultuous relationship with Carl Radke, their fall out and his claims of Carl’s “sexual activity” with members of the same sex. You mean the real drama was off camera? How shocking said in a sarcastic voice. Finally, Stephen chats about his friendship with fellow Bravolebrities Kristen Doute, LeeAnne Locken, Jill Zarin, Vicki Gunvalson, Juliet Angus, Stassi no last name needed, Lauren Wirkus, and last, but certainly not least, Jax & Brittany. @stephenmcgee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: INNOVATIVE EXTRACTS - ie-cbd.com (Use Promo Code VELVET for 40% Off Your First Order) DAILY HARVEST - dailyharvest.com/velvet (Up To $40 Off Your First Box) TRAILMIX GAMES - (Download Love & Pies for Free in the App Store or Google Play.)

Robyn Dixon's Season Long Omission, Juan Dixon's Alleged Mistress, Andy Cohen's Anger & Where RHOP Goes From Here
Robyn Dixon has faced major backlash from fans, cast mates and Andy Cohen himself over the fact that she filmed an entire season of The Real Housewives of Potomac without ever mentioning her husband Juan was faced with cheating allegations involving an unknown woman from Canada. Today we break down those claims, the backlash, the fact that we watched an entire season of RHOP falsely accusing Chris Basset of infidelity while Robyn failed to mention any of this to anyone at any time. Whew! Let us just recover from that for a hot second before sharing our hot takes on whether this is a fireable offense and Robyn should not be given a seat at the table when RHOP returns next season. We analyze the bigger issue of how this could happen and what other franchises of Bravo’s Real Housewives produce fluff and / or “fake” storylines when the real tea is happening on social media and / or a Housewife’s real life. Finally, we pay homage to RHOP’s MVP of this season and how the once stellar franchise should move forward from here. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAILY HARVEST - dailyharvest.com/velvet (Up To $40 Off Your First Box) INNOVATIVE EXTRACTS - ie-cbd.com (Use Promo Code VELVET for 40% Off Your First Order) TRAILMIX GAMES - (Download Love & Pies for Free in the App Store or Google Play.)

In other RHOBH news, we discuss being snubbed by the one and only Erika Jayne and break down when we can expect the new cast to realistically be announced. While we do not know when the RHOC trailer will drop, we discuss Tamra’s recent statement that she knows little more than us, Tamra’s message to haters that she is just getting started, Shannon Beador’s breakup and whether the return of Miss Judge can save this once stellar franchise. Yes, we still stan Heather Dubrow. Speaking of franchises that need saving, we share our hot takes on how to fix RHOSLC, discuss casting rumors and why Mary Cosby returning is something that will probably never happen. We also discuss all the rumors behind RHUGT 3, RHUGT 4 and when we can expect to see either back on our TV screens.

TODD & JULIE CHRISLEY - An Interview (Were There Signs??)
Today we share this chat with Julie and Todd Chrisley recorded just a few short months before their sentencing. It is shocking to now listen to this - Todd explaining that he can only survive in a five star setting, Todd claiming that when he passes his children will say there lies a good man and Julie and Todd talking about what good kind Christians they are.

Todd and Julie Chrisley step Behind The Rope. Todd and Julie reminisce about the epic journey over the past eight years from day one to present that we have all watched play out week after week on Chrisley Knows Best. We chat highs & lows both on and off camera, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, Nanny Faye, just who wears the pants in this family, that “other” reality TV fam known as The Kardashians, whether Todd is really as “particular” in real life about everything as he seems on the small screen, and which Real Housewives would Julie and Todd like to join. We discuss all the spin offs - According To Chrisley, Growing Up Chrisley, What’s Cooking with Julie, biggest misconceptions, and just what is next for this family that refuses to slow down any time soon. Ok now that we have come to the end, we want to know if you saw the signs! @toddchrisley @juliechrisley @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SMALLS - smalls.com/VELVET (Use Promo Code VELVET for 50% Off Your First Order) INNOVATIVE EXTRACTS - ie-cbd.com (Use Promo Code VELVET for 40% Off Your First Order) MTV’s “JERSEY SHORE” (Make Sure To Watch Jersey Shore Family Vacation, New Season Thursday January 26th at 8/7 Central on MTV.)

JEN SHAH's VICTIM PENNY PUCKET - In HER Words!!
So much has been written about, discussed in relation to and analyzed regarding Jen Shah. Jen’s story was even part of a national sensationalized ABC Special entitled, “The Housewife and The Shah Shocker”. Jen Shah herself has spoken to various news outlets and shared her story at various reunions over the three years that she was a cast member on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Now Jen plans to tell her "truth", for much lack of a better word, on her own website if you subscribe and pay a fee. What you may not know is that the actual amount of time spent speaking to Jen’s victims who were defrauded of multi millions of dollars amounts to less than two percent of all the “news” out there surrounding the Federal case against Jen. Today, we hope to change that. Penny Pucket, one of Jen Shah’s victims, is here to chat about HER story - how she was first contacted, the inner workings of Jen’s scam, the moment she realized all was not as it seemed, being contacted by ABC to participate in the "Shah Shocker”, her thoughts on Jen’s plea and the 6.5 year sentence, the aftermath, life now and finally what she hopes Jen learns in jail and what she would like to say to Jen today.

One of the pioneers of reality television, Jaime Gleicher, steps Behind The Rope. Before there was Kathy & Kyle, Melissa & Tre, Erika & Rinna, there was Ally (Hilfiger - yes daughter of Tommy) & Jaime, stars of the MTV reality mega hit, Rich Girls, which followed the lives of two wealthy New York City girls as they completed their final semester of high school before entering college and adulthood. Jaime, who is currently writing a book on her life, reflects upon her time on the show and what being thrust into the spotlight at a young age entailed. Jaime discusses the other reality juggernauts at the time Rich Girls began - The Osbournes, Newlyweds and Queer Eye. On a more serious note, Jaime is forthcoming about her real life struggles with an eating disorder and depression, which she hid from production during the filming of Rich Girls. These two dive into how Rich Girls came about, filming, editing, production and the promotion of the show. Jaime, now 35 and a Psychotherapist (a Barnard graduate, smarty pants), discusses the potential pitfalls of fame at an early age and how she "came out the other side".

Flipping Out's MEGAN WEAVER (on Jeff Lewis, Teddi Mellencamp's "All In", Jenni, Gage & Randall/Lala) - II
Flipping Out’s Megan Weaver returns Behind The Rope. Megan takes us back to the beginning, her first job working as a Production Assistant for Steven Spielberg which led to run ins with Antonio Banderas, Tom Hanks, and oh, there was that one time she stayed in Leo DiCaprio’s Malibu Beach House. One day she met Jeff Lewis in a restaurant bathroom, and soon Megan found herself working for our favorite House Flipper and starring on Bravo’s Hit Show, “Flipping Out”. Megan, being a prior fan of the show, recalls how excited she was during her interview when Zoila and Jenni were there, floating around working at Jeff Lewis Design. We talk about some of Megan and Jeff’s Housewife BFFS, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Storms Beador and Teddi Mellencamp. Yes Megan and Jeff did Teddi’s much criticized ALL IN Program. Do tell. She does! Megan discusses the fall out between Jeff and Jenni Pulos, the current status of that relationship, how that affected her own relationship with Jenni and what she predicts for the future of that relationship. Megan also opens up about Jeff’s relationship with Gage Edward, the end of that relationship and Jeff’s new man, Scott Anderson. We also discuss her work on Lala and Randall’s house as well as Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green's house. Speaking of Brian Austin Green (anything for a shameless 90210 reference), Jeff’s current neighbor is Machine Gun Kelly which leads to a very interesting conversation! @megancatalina @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

BRUCE BOZZI (on RHOBH, BFF Andy Cohen, Kathy Hilton, Bethenny Frankel, RHONY & Madonna)
Bruce Bozzi steps Behind The Rope. Andy Cohen’s BFF, Restaurant King (shout out to The Palm) and BFF to everyone who is anyone in Hollywood. After a brief chat about Bruce’s entry into the entertainment business as an SNL & Letterman NBC, Bruce chats being a role model in the LGBTQIA community - winning the GLSEN Champion Award, Marrying Managing Director & Co-Chairman of CAA, becoming a father at age 40, and being the step-father to actress Billie Lord (shout out to American Horror Story), his husbands’ biological daughter with Carrie Fisher. Of course, Bruce chats about meeting Daddy Andy Cohen, being Godfather to one of our fav Bravo babies, Benjamin Cohen, and all the benefits that come along with being Andy’s Partner In Crime. Housewife Spoilers, anyone? Bruce is a huge Housewife fan and chats about his strong desire to be the first Gay Real Housewife of Beverly Hills - or as some may say “House Husband”, his thoughts on an all Gay Male version of Real Housewives, the current state of RHOBH and Bethenny Frankel. Finally, Bruce spills the tea on some of his Hollywood friends - Jennifer Aniston, Kathy Hilton, LVP, Denise Richards, SJP, Andy Cohen and last, but certainly not least, his good friend Queen Madonna!!! @brucebozzi @behindvelvetrope @davdyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

Maybe. In other RHOBH news, Brandi Glanville chats relationship updates with LVP, Kim Richards, LeAnn Rimes and a whole lot more in true, typical Brandi fashion holding nothing back.

Listen to This: Talk Easy featuring Lake Bell
I’m sharing a special preview of a podcast I’ve been enjoying, Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, from Pushkin Industries. Talk Easy is a weekly interview podcast, where writer Sam Fragoso invites actors, writers, activists, and musicians to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them before. Driven by curiosity, he’s had revealing conversations with everyone from Ethan Hawke to Cate Blanchett to Pedro Pascal to Questlove. In this preview, he sits down with actor, writer, and director Lake Bell, who shares her path to creating Inside Voice, her new audiobook. She describes growing up in Manhattan in the 80s, chronicling the world around her by tape recorder, and capturing those experiences into her 2013 film, "In a World..." And she shares how her voice has transformed in the past decade, the phenomenon of the 'sexy baby voice,' and the characters she hopes to discover in years to come. You can hear the full episode, and more from Talk Easy, at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/talkeasypod?sid=rope. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

DANNY PINTAURO (on Who's the Boss, Alyssa Milano, Oprah, Ryan Murphy, Gay Hollywood & Christmas Movies) - I
Danny Pintauro steps Behind The Rope. Danny is here to mention it all. Danny starts at the beginning, his freshman film in Stephen King’s Cujo when he was only seven years old. The convo quickly turns to Danny’s break out role as Jonathan Bower for eight years in the mega hit Who's The Boss. Danny discusses this experience, co-stars Judith Light, Alyssa Milano, Tony Danza and Katherine Helmond, what life was like during the eighties at the height of his fame and life after. Danny opens up about what it was like to be outed by The National Enquirer in a phone call that changed his life, the advice Judith Light gave him after the Enquirer forced him out and how life changed thereafter. Danny also opens up about what it was like to sit down with Oprah - no last name needed - and reveal that he was living with HIV, formerly addicted to meth and all and everything else that only the great O can get you to open up about. Finally, Danny talks about his recent move back to LA, married life with husband Will and his new Lifetime Christmas movie, “ A Country Christmas Harmony”. @dannypintauro @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.
