Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley are still not on speaking terms. Kyle blames PK for everything, Dorit blames PK for certain things and Sutton’s Mom thinks PK is unattractive. For a man not earning a paycheck for RHOBH, he certainly seems to have a central role this season. Speaking of Sutton, she is happy as can be these days and a blooming friendship with Erika is in full effect. Last, but not least, several RHOSLC cast members have spoken out with a desire to kick Meredith to the curb as rumors, and nastiness, surrounding next season’s cast grow louder. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Jeff Lewis has been issued a serious warning, shut the fu*k up!! Mr. Lewis seems to have ruffled a few feathers as of late and this time it comes with a stern message. Sutton slams Garcelle as fake and her cast mates weigh in with a few thoughts of their own. This season of RHOBH moves on and newbie Amanda Frances has made a bang with a debut that means business. Last, but not least, the Summer House trailer explodes with a West/ Jesse/ Ciara love triangle, six newbies, a Kyle and Carl physical smackdown and last, but not least, Kyle sleeping over a fan’s house. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

RHOBH is back in our lives with newbies, make ups, break ups, more make ups and Kyle who says she is scared to leave the franchise even though she questions her involvement every year. Speaking of Kyle, Mauricio is out in these streets dancing on tables, taking shirtless selfies and telling a few lies, half truths and fabrications. Things are so bad these days between Dorit and Kyle that producers need to intervene. Kyle opens up about the real reason things are on ice with Dorit.

Now that the dust has settled from one insane season of RHOC, the only certain thing for season 20 is Vicki Gunvalson. Andy is not so convinced that all is as good between Vicki and Tamra as the two thirds of the Tres Amigas make it seem. RHORI prepares to debut early next year, but certain cast members’ deep dark secrets are already being exposed. RHONY will begin filming soon. The Love Hotel “Lu” rumors grow stronger. Jen Shah may be banned from Bravo but DWTS could be calling. VPR is back with a vengeance. Bethenny changes the face of dating. Nene may return, Lisa Rinna is winning at life and Teresa and Melissa prepare to return to RHONJ together! @tombrich @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 tries to turn Melissa against Margaret to ice her out, get her fired and continue RHONJ without the Housewife who some call the only one willing to play the villain. However, all is not as it seems as Teresa and Margaret both seem to be leaking a few stories to the press these days. If history does repeat itself though - Laurita, Wakile, Staub, when Tre and Mel play nice, people seem to lose their jobs. In other news, Kyle hurts Dorit bad and they are currently not speaking at all as their fall out is about to play out now that RHOBH is back on our screens. RHOC is about to finalize its cast for Season 20 and one name on the chopping block is shocking AF. RHONY’s new cast forms. Luis Ruelas lays low.

Despite the shocking voicemail that surfaced earlier this week from Kelly Dodd attacking daughter Jolie, Miss Vicki Gunvalson is out in these streets asking for Ms. Dodd’s return to RHOC. Heather Dubrow says that’s a wrap and that she looks forward to Season 20, but Tamra remains very confused about many things surrounding Season 19 and we cannot say we blame her. Regardless of the reconciliation heard round the world, Teresa still has one major hurdle to overcome if she wants to ever return to RHONJ… Luis Ruelas. Last, but not least, rumors and nastiness surface yet again that NBC is over all the lawsuits, liabilities and cost and wants to end all Housewives soon. Plus, we share an unedited Part III of everyone’s shady AF questions from our live show to which we cannot plead the fifth. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Melissa Gorga has something to say to her niece Gia. Mary Cosby’s son receives more bad news. Patricia Altschul and Paige DeSorbo triple down on their feud. Heather Dubrow makes moves. Craig Conover moves on from Paige. Golnessa and Kate Chastain feud.

Kyle runs into Lisa Vanderpump. LVP avoids the RHOBH cast. The VPR OG cast avoids LVP but she does not seem to care as lighting may have struck twice with her new cast of hotties already bringing it and we are only one episode in.

Tricia Lee steps Behind The Rope. Owning Manhattan’s Tricia Lee, that is. A mere few days away from the premiere of Season Two, Tricia stops by to mention it all. Tricia explains how this season was different for her, reveals shocking outcomes for some of her cast mates after the first season aired and discusses all the drama we can expect from Season Two. New agents, Ryan’s favs versus the newbies and so much more in what Ryan calls a season of all out real estate warfare.

This brilliant, phenomenal season of RHOSLC continues with more allegations, lies, denials and, what many franchises are lacking, humor. Bethenny Frankel has a new message for all and we are seated. The OC is still trying to figure out next season and with Vicki back, it is clear that certain housewives will be existing stage left. Now that Teresa, Melissa, Joey G and Luis have reconciled, completed their BravoCon public eye tour, Bravoholics everywhere are left asking, what now? Last, but not least, Next Gen, All’s Fair, Gossip Girl and more. @sydneymorgankane @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Stacey Rusch may be a sophomore, but she certainly held her own at BravoCon by amusing Daddy Cohen, slamming Kyle Richards and putting Tamra in her place, audience boos and all. Jeff Lewis may still be recovering from his BravoCon fall out with Andy, but he had enough time to shade Dorit and talk a whole lotta other BS and nonsense. Denise Richards talks Rinna. Ashley Darby wants to marry Craig. West likes Ariana and Carl likes Venita. Ralph remains in the basement.

BravoCon may be but ahh a distant memory at this point, but through our Live Show, the questions keep a comin’. The RHORI trailer has been met with mixed reviewed as has Dolores’ official friend of status. Today we break down what to expect from this franchise whose premiere date is rapidly approaching. We offer some advice, albeit unsolicited, to Vicki Gunvalson ahead of her return to RHOC. Speaking of RHOC, the cast is headed for a major shake up ahead of Season 20. Welcome Vicki. Goodbye… The worst new housewives of the year are announced. Podcast feuds are broken down. Last, but not least, several problems still exist with Bravo which need to be fixed before we all say Happy Holidays and rejoice. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael discusses what it was like being the youngest on a set that included Roseanne, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson. Michael recalls the best and worst times during Roseanne’s original nine year run from 1988-1997. Michael talks viral moments such as when Roseanne “performed” The National Anthem, guest stars such as Leo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Sandra Bernhard, Sharon Stone, and Bruce Willis, what it was like to be on a TV show that became a worldwide global hit overnight and had stellar ratings throughout the years and the harsh realities of Hollywood after the show went off the air. Finally, Michael talks about The Conners, Roseanne’s now infamous tweet heard round the world and last, but sure not least, Roseanne’s termination and cancellation from the very show she created.

BravoCon may be a brilliant, just passed memory, but there is still so very much to talk about from this epic, non-stop weekend both on and off stage. Dorit had a few choice words for Camille and Denise but looked so chic doing so, cigarette and all. The Bravo’s handed out award after award which left Phaedra shocked, Archie Beador happy and a clear upcoming many seasons long run for Next Gen NYC. The Summer House vs. Southern Charm feud heats up with everyone and anyone weighing in except Craig who avoided the SH cast at all costs. Sheree used a bunch of excuses for a whole lotta things, Angie K wants Jen Shah back, Scheana created fake news, Gizelle shaded Dorit and this is just the tip of the iceberg. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 BravoVerse has not has a second to rest since BravoCon and legally things are not looking great. Wendy Osefo’s alias have been exposed, the authorities claim she has over 40 credit cards and Wendy and her legal team have clapped back claiming she is being targeted. Mia Thornton has been arrested and Gizelle could care less. Porsha has been investigated by the FBI, cleared of any wrongdoing and is back on the move, Delta miles and all. Meghan King has lost her kids for various reasons and the ally that no one wants, nor asked for, Kelly Dodd demands her name be cleared. Andy Cohen got very annoyed at two BravoLebs at The Bravos. Jeff Lewis shaded everyone but offers words of advice. LVP had Garcelle’s back. Scheana is The Valley’s dark secret. Camille thanks Kelsey. Ashley slams newbie Angel. Last, but not least, after this week of RHOP, one thing becomes crystal clear, Stacey Rusch can do no wrong.

BravoCon may be over but we are still recovering and the gossip keeps flowing. More podcast feuds have erupted. Sai and Madison LeCroy smack each other down in a feud we did not know how much we needed - for many reasons. RHUGT Road Trip is coming with some fan fav OGs and all. Andy Cohen is still mad at Jeff Lewis. Kelly Dodd’s exorcism is revisited. Nasty texts from Housewives and strange behavior from one irrelevant RHOM are exposed. Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke’s houses are broken into as a result of the 3 day extravaganza and oh so very much more with very special guest, Vanessa Reiser, or as you like to call her, Luis Ruelas’ ex. What a way to bury the lead.

He has F’d up in a big sorta way and the BravoHolics, Andy Cohen and powers that be are not happy. Andy sits down with Karen Huger to get to the bottom of her addiction. Mary Cosby may have won BravoCon but TLC says her church is a cult and they are coming for her big time.

Now that the Giudice / Gorga reconciliation tour is in full effect, BravoCon and all, Joey Gorga has a strong message for Bravo, Andy and the fans. Speaking of BravoCon, Wendy Osefo took zero accountability for her alleged actions, seems to remain clueless about her potential future and chose her words very carefully none of which seemed to include her insistence that she is innocent. Last, but not least, Andy Cohen worked fast to dash everyone’s hopes of the RHONY OG/Newbie combo but as the future of RHONY is expected to be announced any week now, let us not count the RHONY OGs out just yet. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Grinch is back and jollier than NEVER! Whoville’s sassiest late-night talk show host returns for season 3 with more sharp-tongued monologues about everything nipping at his nose this holiday season, his signature brand of merry mischief, and a fete of festive banter, determined to charm a sleigh-full of A-list guests into admitting that Christmas might just be ho-ho-horribly overrated. This season, Grinch unveils his boldest scam yet: "Grinch-a-palooza," an over-the-top extravaganza timed to outshine Whoville’s beloved tree lighting ceremony. But when his trusted producer Cindy-Lou Who sides with the town’s holiday tradition instead of helping him plan the perfect palooza, the ultimate festive face-off begins. Grinch vs. Cindy—whose Christmas Eve bash will reign supreme? The battle for holiday supremacy is officially ON.

Andy Cohen seems to have a lot to say about Wendy Osefo as of late, but as this season of RHOP chugs along, one thing has become very clear, Wendy Osefo’s RHOP exit is expected in 3,2,1… Lisa Barlow is accused of ruining RHOSLC, keeping all her private biz to herself, not sharing anything with the group and oh so much more in what is clearly a hard season of Miss Vida Tequila. The idea of Jen Shah returning resurfaces again now that she has less than a year til she is out of the slammer. Vicki Gunvalson remains out of touch, Lala refuses to talk about Scheana and Vanderpump 2.0 prepares to premiere at BravoCon but all is not as it seems.

There have been so many rumors, and nastiness, about whether RHONJ’s future will be announced in five short days when BravoCon 2025 begins, but today we expose the real reasons this once top rated show is still on pause and the likelihood that it will come off pause any time in the future. Speaking of BravoCon, for those going, we break down how to navigate this large convention which can feel overwhelming to many, how to get the most bang for your buck and, most importantly, how to get maximum tea and meet as many Bravolebrities as possible. Finally, with two parts of the reunion to go, we discuss the likelihood that RHOC will go on pause now that it has become as toxic as RHONJ with bloggers, leaked stories, private investigators and oh, so very much more that we have not even begun to scratch the surface! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 may be the first guest on Jennifer Aydin’s new podcast but all is not as it seems. Who is using who, who is really mad at who, what role did BravoCon play in all of this and why RHIONJ will not be back to filming anytime even remotely soon. Aaron Phypers may be playing it real cool with a huge smile on his face but the future does not look so bright so he can keep his shades at home. A new well known actress’ name is being tossed around to throw into the RHOBH mix and we are so very much here for it. Tia and Angel make their mark and let their voices be heard again the OG’s on RHOP. Selling Sunset’s new season drama is in full effect both on and off the show.

Andy Cohen has revealed a lot over the past week. From John Mayer to behind the scenes Housewife gossip tea to his love life to retirement, one thing is for sure, there are a few things that he still seems a little in denial over. Okay, maybe a lot in denial over regarding a few of our fav and some not so fav Real Housewives. Carole and Luann reconcile and blame Bethenny for everything. Regarding Bethenny’s clap back….. Rumors, not nastiness, surface that Ariana Madix is close to getting engaged. Heather Gay F’cked Captain Jason. Erika Jayne comes for Meredith Marks. Teri Hatcher demands Andy pay the creator of Desperate Housewives. As we near BravoCon many possible hook ups across franchises move closer to happening. Last, but not least, Lisa Barlow claps back at Angie K and comes forward with a whole slew of receipts. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Dorit Kemsley is unburdened but from what exactly. Vanderpump 2.0 prepares to premiere at BravoCon but all is not as it seems.

The RHOC finale has left the cast totally confused, shocked and divided over what some are calling Tamra Judge’s season long plan to take down, out and or eliminate Miss Gretchen Rossi. Now that Tamra has brought to light many Transphobic tweets which Gretchen denies liking, one thing has become crystal clear. Next weeks RHOC reunion is sure to be a game changer, if not cast changer, as we close out this season and head into RHOC 20. Wendy seems to be so worried about her Wife Swap episode, her RHOC future and exactly what she will say to the many questions she is bound to receive at BravoCon that one has to wonder if she realizes she could be facing many, many years in prison. Gia Giudice slams RHONJ fans in an outrage over Teresa and Melissa. Finally, Erika Jayne seems to rub, have rubbed and is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, still. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (Watch Season 7 Now On Hulu) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.

As Wendy and Eddie Osefo navigate their fraud charges and possible jail time, rumors, and nastiness, arise that Wendy is distancing herself from Eddie, throwing him under the bus, preparing to blame him for everything and edging toward a major full on divorce. Stacey Rusch comes to Wendy’s defense but Gizelle and Robin have other thoughts and quite a lot to say. Lisa Barlow is accused, again, of turning into Teresa Giudice and not for the reasons expected. RHOSLC’s “Suit Man” is exposed. Kyle and LVP move one step closer to reconciliation.

Now that the dust has settled from Wendy and Eddie Osefo’s shocking arrests, new facts are revealed, episodes are being re-edited and RHOP seems to be having one epic, albeit unexpected, season. Based on The Osefo’s recent F Ups, it is time to deep dive why so many Real Housewives feel the need to live above, or in this case way above, their means. With all the attention granted to The Osefo’s, and mug shots with a huge smile, one cannot help but wonder if Wendy is but a bit happy at all this newfound attention, regardless of minor setbacks such as her episode of Wife Swap being cancelled. In other news, Tom Sandoval gains further redemption, Vanderpump Rules 2.0 prepares to take center stage when it premieres later this year and last, but not least, BravoHolics worldwide prepare for their Super Bowl, BravoCon, a mere few weeks from now. @dnealz @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd 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.

Garcelle Beauvais has a lot to say lately about Erika, Boz, Sutton and her ex RHOBH co-stars before shutting down all sorts of talk about her past life as a Housewife while out promoting her new Lifetime film. Turns out Teresa is more desperate than we thought having turned to cousin Kathy Wakile for a reconciliation before her absolute last choice, Joe and Melissa Gorga. Last, but not least, Wendy Osefo demands that all of her charges be dismissed accusing police of an illegal arrest. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

With all this talk about Teresa’s upcoming reconciliation with Joe and Melissa Gorga, it is time to take a moment out and ask how this make up will affect Margaret Josephs, how do Marge and Dolo feel about this reconciliation and even if Tre and Mel reconcile, how could an RHONJ exist with all 4 of the above mentioned Housewives. Teresa seems to have a fall back plan, if her fake reconciliation tour does not work and, in a move no one saw coming, it involves prison. Of course, inserting ourselves right in the middle of this three ring circus dog and pony show, we offer some advice, albeit unsolicited, to Tre and Mel that we suggest they listen to very, very closely. Last, but not least, to lighten the mood, a RHOSLC recap to end all recaps in what is still one brilliant, this is how it is done, master class of a season. Bravo, no pun intended. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eddie Judge has come forward to expresses some concerns he has about wife Tamra Judge. Kyle Richards, on the other hand, seems to have finally caught a big break and fans galore prepare for the return of RHOBH which now has a premiere date later this year right after BravoCon. MJ announced her divorce after seven years of marriage to Tommy Feight and the shiz is about to hit the fan big time. RHOC heads into its finale week, RHOSLC brings the humor and the new season of RHOM stalls. Last, but not least, Wendy Osefo lies to us again, uses religion as a scapegoat and worries more about fame, appearances and TV than the fact that she may be headed to jail some time soon. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 Teresa Giudice and her brother Joey G prepare for their ill fated reconciliation meet up, one thing has become crystal clear. Bravo has no interest in filming this sit down in what some may call a nostalgic moment, most call living in the past. In other words, been there, done that. Sutton’s ex assistant Avi is team Garcelle as the two are seen growing closer by the day. Teddi Mellencamp faces some fake news. Stacey Rusch proves her naysayers - Ashley and Gizelle - wrong with receipts that her divorce, in fact, was real. The fans become outraged over this season of RHOP for a whole slew of reasons. Last, but certainly not least, Schwartzy gets booed up but does not want to reveal too much about the new lady in his life.

Another day, another twist and turn in the Wendy Osefo / Eddie Osefo arrest which has left the Bravo world flabbergasted. Although Andy Cohen and cast mates have attempted to reach out to Ms. Osefo, Wendy is “doing her own thing”, not responding and remains too embarrassed to film RHOP. In other words, Ms. Osefo seems to have gone into hiding and is avoiding everyone including the RHOP “cameras back up”. In other news, now that Joey G has decided he is ready to sit down with sister Teresa, wife Melissa weighs in on how she really feels about this upcoming meeting. As usual, Tamra Judge is meddling into other people’s business where she is not wanted (to no one’s surprise), has her own strange claims about Wendy Osefo, and mocks David Beador’s wife Leslie in a strange move no one saw coming. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Now that Aaron Phypers has been arrested, has made bail, and is out and free for the time being, he is carrying on as if he has no worries and has not just been arrested for Spousal Abuse of Denise Richards. Erika Jayne has received some very bad news, but attempts to carry on and ignore. Speaking of Erika, Countess Lu has a message for both her and Dorit. Speaking of Lu, the new cast of RHONY is all but set and expected to be announced in mere weeks at BravoCon. Influencers, socialites, a familiar well known name and at least one shocking RHONY from the past, RHONY is attempting to fix the mess that was the past two seasons.

Now that Wendy and Eddie Osefo have been exposed as scammers, it is time to deep dive just why so many Real Housewives commit crimes and turn to a life of criminal activity. New facts emerge which show The Osefos carelessness, arrogance and so much more in this master heist which one could not make up if they tried. RHOP has resumed filming and down in the West Village, NYC, Mr. Andy Cohen is smiling ear to ear. Julia Lemigova’s last ditch effort to save her RHOM job seems to have worked, Adriana accepts her MPV status and RHOM prepares to begin filming its new season any day now.

Teresa Giudice now says that not only has she called The Gorgas, which we previously discussed, but that she will be meeting up with them to reconcile and erase the past two decades that have infiltrated their lives, and ours, both on and off the RHONJ screen. Speaking of RHONJ, the new cast announcement is expected in 3,2,1… Speaking of Joe and Mel, we explain exactly why they would now be open to such a reconciliation. All is definitely not as it seems. Heather McDonald scolds Meredith Marks. Meredith claps back in a feud we sure did not have on our bingo card.

Lea also chats about her friendship with Jeff Lewis, appearances on Flipping Out, the end of Jeff’s friendship with Jenni Pulos, and the end of Jeff’s relationship with Gage Edward and all the personal drama Jeff seems to have with many of our fav TV personalities, podcasters and boyfriends past and present.

Teresa Giudice has fully transitioned from “never ever” to “never say never” to “open to reconciliation” to actually reaching out to Joe and Melissa Gorga in order to reconcile. The first actual hard evidenced move has been made and Teresa has reached out. In other news, Dolores Catania issues a stern warning this week but it is not what you think and not to who you could have ever guessed. Switzerland has found her voice. Finally. As the RHOM reunion comes to a close, Todd Nepola has sued Bravo and NBCU for defamation to the tune of $11 million dollars. Just what the network needs, another lawsuit. Last, but certainly not least, this fun, master class, brilliant season of RHOSLC continues with a Meredith / Lisa sit down thanks to Angie, Mary cementing her iconic status, Angie / Lisa showdown that ended with a broken toy, Bad Weather unified and allied and oh, so very much more as we recap it all! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

With less than a month to go, the countdown to BravoCon is heating up and with more panels than almost any other Real Housewife, fans, RHONJ casemates and even Dorinda Medley have spoken out about what this means for Teresa’s future on the show and with the network. Jeff Lewis has spoken out about his new Housewife feuds, favs and what to expect from him in the upcoming weeks. After last night’s RHOC, with the reunion now filmed, Tamra seems to blame Slade for anything and everything that has gone wrong in her life this season. Guerdy issues a new threat but all is not as it seems.

With all that Wendy Osefo has lost in the past few days - dignity, Wife Swap, her position at Wesleyan, it is only a matter of days before she is asked to not attend, or, removes herself from next month’s BravoCon. In other Wendy news, The RHOP cast seems to be enjoying her downfall with no real fan in sight except one Miss Katie Rost. Rumors, and nastiness, surface that the RHOC reunion did not exactly go as Tamra had planned. Vicki Gunvalson talks a bunch of stuff and nonsense in the hopes of an RHOC return. Robyn and Gizelle talk smack but prepare to face off with Eminem sooner than later.

Melissa Gorga has finally responded to Teresa’s reconciliation request in what appears to be a positive move closer to a full on make up which no one saw coming. We break down Melissa’s recent statements in response to Teresa’s month long campaign of “never say never”, but the real question is, “why now”? He$$ hath officially frozen over. In other news, Denise Richards’ horrifying court testimony against soon to be ex husband Aaron Phypers has been released and it is chilling. Aaron continues to deny all claims.

Wendy and Eddie Osefo were arrested after allegedly filing a false burglary report claiming approximately $435k in stolen property. The RHOP shocker heard round the world this past weekend. Today we slowly break down all the charges against the Osefos, discuss their official statement they made through their reps after returning home, chat about the RHOP cast’s reactions / statements, reveal the “Dorit” of it all, explain how RHOP cameras are back up(!!) and last, but not least, reveal just how shocked, or not shocked, we are. In other news, in her MVP of the season, maybe year, move, Miss Adriana de Moura lets us know that Julia Lemigova slept with a male Haitian Mortician in a hotel room she paid for with champagne and a coffee maker. Oh, and there was a cop too. Andy and the RHOM cast react, we rejoice, Guerdy feels justified, RHOM teams become clear and next season’s cast seems pretty locked in which filming is expected to begin in 3,2,1… @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) JUANES - (Check Out Juanes’ New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Lea Black steps Behind The Rope. She’s baaaack. The “Mayor of Miami” is here, again, to mention it all. Lea chats RHOM, cast mates, highs and lows and, of course, all that drama that comes along with being one of Bravo’s Housewives. Lea also chats about her friendship with Jeff Lewis, appearances on Flipping Out, the end of Jeff’s friendship with Jenni Pulos, and the end of Jeff’s relationship with Gage Edward and all the personal drama Jeff seems to have with many of our fav TV personalities, podcasters and boyfriends past and present. Finally, Lea chats what it is truly like to be The Mayor of Miami with many famous friends - Lance Bass, Pamela Anderson, Lil Wayne, Pitbull, Joe Francis, Pharrell and many more.

Teresa Giudice was called stupid, told to shut the F up, pushed in the mud and forced to clean toilets all in the first few weeks of Fox’s Special Forces. As brutal as all that sounds, the fans just could not get enough so much so that this humbled, quiet Teresa could be exactly what Bravo wants, and/or needs, next season when RHONJ finally, eventually begins to film early next year. Yes, Teresa has walked off and quit the show, but was it enough to change the course of her future? BravoCon panels are announced and we are here to break them all down - there are a lot, highlight the surprising ones and detail the shocking snubs. Carole Radziwill is heading to Vegas for the big weekend in what is expected to be a possible RHONY Season 15 announcement. Speaking of announcements, the new seasons of VPR, RHONJ, RHOBH and the birth of RHORI are expected to take front and center stage with cast announcements, screeners and more! Last, but not least, for all of ya all who are keeping track, this weeks’ RHOSLC, once again, brought it big time - from Angie’s lunch with Meredith to expose Barlow to Mary’s emotional church scene to just who is the dusty one in the Angie / Lisa salon smack down we never knew we needed, we recap it all! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Scheana Shay sets the record straight again silencing everyone from Lala to Tamra to past VPR colleagues with the help of RHOC / VPR / The Valley Executive Producer. Dorit Kemsley is ready for another kick a$$ season of taking no prisoners as she navigates a divorce, cast mate feuds and rumors, again, that she does not have the money she and PK claim to have. Teddi Mellencamp shares a health update. Brittany Cartwright gets a make over. House of Villains returns with Tom Sandoval, Christine Quinn and Tiffany Pollard.

Kyle Richards’ cast mates have demanded a few things from her ahead of RHOBH Season 15. Things which seem simple enough but will Kyle be able to follow through? Teresa Giudice wants us all to know that she is not at all desperate. Scheana Shay turns down The Valley Season Three, brings epic receipts and explains the two very unexpected reasons why she said no to the “very generous” offer.

Heather Dubrow gets real angry, Gretchen and Tamra fight and the rest of the cast act as if Katie Ginella were never part of this season as RHOC gallops along for another week heading towards a supposed reunion which we are not sure will ever actually happen. Denise Richards’ divorce is costing her one pretty penny which sources claim is bleeding her dry as Aaron’s monthly alimony payment becomes more likely by the week. RHOM takes a page out of RHOC and RHOSLC’s book in attempts to ice out a cast member. Teresa reveals her one big regret from the past decade and a half on RHONJ and we are left speechless.

Today we break our silence on the matter and discuss the likelihood Julia’s claims are true, her motivations for outing this alleged hook up now, the shock from her cast mates and Andy, what this means for her marriage to Martina and last, but not least, what this means for Julia’s future on the show. Adriana has been in the comments on social all week claiming this is not true and what she plans to reveal tomorrow night when Part Two of the RHOM reunion continues. In other news, Scheana Shay has been one busy lady engaged in more feuds - Lala, Tamra - than when she was a regular on a hit Bravo show. Scheana comes with a whole slew of receipts this week but Lala says, not so fast. Last, but certainly not least, Porsha Williams reveals she is dating a girl and a guy. On that note, we offer some advice, unsolicited, to Kyle Richards and wonder if we will see any of this next season on RHOA. @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 and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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 RHOC prepares to come to an end, rumors, and nastiness, arise on who will not make the cut and be given an orange, or a friend of, for RHOC 20. Teresa uses both Gia and Juicy this week to help further her own narrative and agenda. Andy Cohen backtracks big time on a lot of things regarding future Housewives but all is not as it seems. Rinna, Richards, D. and Beauvais win in life after Housewives. Wife Swap prepares to drop.

In a move some did not see coming, Aaron Phypers drags both Charlie Sheen and Brandi Glanville into his already very messy divorce from Denise Richards.

Although Teresa has been preaching love, love, love in a series of “reconciliation” attempts with Joe and Melissa in order to save her high paying job on RHONJ, she made one, huge, blatant, fatal, recent mistake which has undone her attempts and all but put the nail in her coffin with no chance to now ever return. Finally, The Valley Season 3 has been filming non stop with both Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz but not Scheana which has led to many sources claiming Producers, Lisa Vanderpump and many other key players no longer want to work with Miss Shay for a whole variety of reasons which we break down for ya here today. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) JUANES - (Check Out Juanes’ New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) 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 says she is going to quit the OC, again, but this time it comes in the form of an ultimatum to producers. Mike Shouhed settles assault lawsuit with ex Paulina. Terry Dubrow saves a life and wants a free meal. Margaret and Dolores are in a prime position to become fast frenemies / enemies when RHONJ resumes filming without Teresa.

Now that her book tour has wound down and her application for The Valley is still under serious consideration, Scheana has taken a moment out of her busy schedule to focus on what has probably been her ultimate goal all along, an audition for RHOC. Scheana has rage texted Teddi and Tamra over the Roofie lie claiming all roads lead back to Tamra for the origins of this she said / she said which has driven Katie off the show. Now it seems that is only the beginning of Tamra’s issues. “In The City” has dropped its first official teaser confirming that Bravo has, in fact, green lit a Summer House spin off in NYC. Kyle, Amanda and many other familiar faces are being discussed / slated to appear in this spin off which is filming…now. Last, but not least, rumors, and nastiness, arise regarding a huge RHOM reunion bombshell, Marysol plays victim, Larsa and Lisa go lower and much more as RHOM nears an end of season which has left many asking whether there will be a much needed cast change when new season mojitos are handed out later this year. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) JUANES - (Check Out Juanes’ New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) 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 past two weeks of RHOC have continued the tradition of this season of central storylines centering around dark, borderline illegal actions that happened over a decade ago. Yes, Gretchen and Tamra, we are looking at you. Gretchen, and Slade, claim Tamra slept with 98 Degrees hottie Jeff Timmons after recording a now leaked song with him in a studio one night in 2017. Tamra threatens a defamation lawsuit after taking several meetings with her attorney. In other strange RHOC news, Tamra makes further moves to win Vicki’s friendship back, Vicki takes the bait and Tamra talks about Vicki’s return next year for RHOC 20 but not before resurfaced drama surrounding Vicki and the Jeff Timmons rumor arises from all those years ago. In other news, Teresa doubles down on her reconciliation plan with Melissa, offers all sorts of reasons why she would like to reconcile and prepares for RHONJ to return without her. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra Judge is likely to come out winning in many ways, despite her very tough RHOC season. Erin Lichy spills the tea about Ramona, Sonja, Lu and Dorinda. BravoCon updates are just in and we are so here for it.

Kempire steps back Behind The Rope. Picking up right where we left off, Kempire discusses Luann’s recent claims that RHONJ is filming, addresses the fact that Teresa says it is not and breaks down the rumors, not nastiness, that production is still testing newbies with Marge, Dolo and Mel. Meanwhile, Teresa, and her TreHuggers, finally seem to be accepting Tre’s ill fated future. Speaking of test shooting, Andy Cohen makes new statements about RHONY’s future, newbies are rumored to be close to signing on the dotted line and we break down what to expect when RHONY finally eventually returns, maybe, next year. Over in RHOBH land, Kathy Hilton inadvertently spilled the tea about a new cast showdown between two fan favs, Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances came prepared and Bozoma Saint John may be preparing for her exit sooner than we think. Of course, Kemp also chats all the shocking ups and downs in Denise’s divorce including her recent house of horrors, 15 dogs and the Charlie Sheen of it all. Finally, Kemp offers helpful advice for future Housewife hopefuls, shares what most Housewives do wrong and finally answers the question, where do all of the franchises, and Bravo, go from here as we look forward to the future. @thekempire @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) DUPE- dupe.com (Type dupe.com Forward Slash Before Any Product URL In Your Browser To Instantly Finds Less Expensive Alternatives) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) JUANES - (Check Out Juanes’ New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) 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.

Kelly Dodd recently confirmed that her BFF, to use the term very loosely, is fired from RHONJ and will not be returning for Season 15. Teresa Giudice has responded to Ms. Dodd in a series of interviews and she does not appear to be pleased at all! Speaking of not being pleased, the RHOC cast seems to be rethinking the future of the show and are having some regrets with how they have treated one Miss Katie Ginella all season. In other words, fear of the reunion lingers, cast change rumors surface and last, but certainly not least, Tamra, Shannon and the cast panic about what Season 20 will look like. No, Victoria Gunvalson we are most definitely not looking at you. Finally, Scheana seems to hate everyone with rants and rages over the past few weeks against Lala Kent, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Vanderpump, Kristen Doute and now Katie Maloney as she continues to try to sell books and land a most coveted role back on TV smack dab in the middle of The Valley Season 3. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Speaking of newbies, Kemp chats K. Michelle and Pinky Cole, Drew’s winning streak and why we should maybe be cautiously optimistic for the return of the now filming RHOA.

RHOC’s second half of the season has swapped Katie for Gretchen as Tamra apologizes, Gretchen blames Tamra for everything and the whole cast promises - in their words - one dark, evil, confusing, awkward, uncomfortable finale which has left the group fractured, shocked and uncertain about what happens next. Teresa makes claims, statements and moves in a desire to return to Housewives on RHOM, RHOSLC, or any franchise that will have her now that her RHONJ fate seems to be all but not signed, not sealed and not delivered. Jeff Lewis’ game is exposed. Denise Richards comes after Bravo. Slade Smiley’s career, or lack of, is deciphered. Andy Cohen get slammed, is recognized by the younger gen and attempts a prank which goes horribly wrong.

Dorit Kemsley speaks out about her new harsh reality with PK, her newfound friendship with Rachel Zoe and just how this season of RHOBH went now that Alexia Umansky has gotten married, the season has come to an end and rumors, and nastiness, have started to leak as far as what we can expect when this beloved franchise returns to our Bravo TVs later this month. As Dolores prepares to begin filming RHONJ later this year with Teresa’s two arch enemies, Mel and Marge, Dolo’s friendship with Tre reaches an all time low leaving many to wonder if this several decade long union is now irreparable.

Another week, another batch of RHONJ casting rumors, and nastiness, that have arisen from out of nowhere. Some fake, some real. From Danielle Cabral returning to Teresa’s BFF cast along with Tre and Jackie, we separate fact from fiction surrounding each and all of these rumors. In yet another feud we did not have on our bingo cards this year, Nene Leakes slams Lisa Vanderpump as manipulative claiming “she did foul shiz to me”. Brittany Cartwright does not give one F as The Valley Season 3 begins filming. Ally Lewber moves to Charleston and films Southern Hospitality. Last, but not least, we look ahead to what’s to come the rest of this dark, twisted season of RHOC. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RHOC’s toxic season continues with allegations of bots, upcoming cast terminations and one Katie Ginella who is definitely not going down without a fight. Speaking of cast terminations, Teresa Giudice seems to have accepted her fate that she will not be returning to RHONJ in a series of subtle but clear interviews that shed light on the fact that she is moving through the five stages of grief briskly. Finally, Andy Cohen wants Karen Huger back on RHOP as Karen gets her hair done, walks runways and plans a Gizelle alliance that she deems unstoppable. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TheRealReal - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Alexia may have chosen RHOM over ex husband Todd Nepola, but one thing is for certain. Teresa Giudice has clearly and unequivocally chosen husband Luis over her very own RHONJ future. RHOSLC is all set to premier next week and Lisa Barlow is in the hot seat with a gang up that is already being compared to that of Katie Ginella’s sophomore RHOC season. Speaking of RHOC, Jennifer Pedranti breaks down, Katie fights to stay alive and Tamra’s brilliant, maniacal, evil end game plan is exposed. Carole Radziwill hangs with Harry Styles and prepares to return to RHONY. Last, but certainly not least, Monica Garcia talks about returning to RHOSLC with the one and only Jen Shah next year when Jen is released early from prison. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TheRealReal - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) FLETCHY - Fletchy.lnk.to/TCA (STream “The Colossal Apostle” From Fletchy To Hear What All The Hype Is About) 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.

Teddi Mellencamp says that Scheana Shay initiated the rumors that Gretchen had to go to the hospital because of Tamra’s naked wasted antics over a decade ago. You cannot make this shiz up if you tried. Scheana did not take too kindly to Ms. Mellencamp’s involvement as the rest of the viewers are left asking, begging and pleading to please make it stop. RHOC that is. Speaking of things that should be stopped, Teresa has come out swinging against those rumors, and nastiness, that RHONJ has test filmed with everyone except her. Teresa breaks down her current status on RHONJ, current status with the network and when RHONJ casting will, in fact, actually be announced. Denise and Charlie Sheen reunite as support for each other in his coming out and her time of need amongst her brutal divorce. Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral are affected by bad timing. Last, but certainly not least, Lindsay Hubbard is caught filming her so called Summer House spin off. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TheRealReal - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.

As the new cast of RHONJ is about to be revealed, on thing becomes crystal clear. Both Teresa and Melissa will be on our Bravo TV screens, full time, by this time next year. Kyle Richards has some much needed changes that need to be put into effect for next season when RHOBH returns later this year.

As this upcoming Season 15 of RHOBH wraps, behind the scenes drama leaks from the cast trip that promises to be the most explosive vacay for our diamond holders in years or, at the very least, since Eileen Davidson was called a beast and Rinna let us know not to talk about Harry Hamlin. Speaking of RHOBH, Dorit and Rachel Zoe have become fast friends, Sutton and Dorit are still on the rocks and newbie Amanda Frances seems to have changed the dynamics amongst our existing diamond holders and very famous friends of. The Valley’s fan fav Kristen Doute and Shahs’ GG get into a very public smack down over Brittany Cartwright that we never knew we needed but just simply cannot get enough of. Finally, one lie after another has set this season of RHOC on fire as we try to move on from this past weeks explosive lie detector fall out, prepare for the reunion to film very, very soon and look ahead to who is likely to lose their job and who from the past is likely to return for next season’s two decades old 20th anniversary! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) FLETCHY - Fletchy.lnk.to/TCA (STream “The Colossal Apostle” From Fletchy To Hear What All The Hype Is About) 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.

Now that the rumors, and nastiness, have all but been proven true that Margaret, Melissa and Dolores will be returning to RHONJ without Teresa, it is time to focus on just how Teresa is really feeling behind closed doors about her RHONJ exit. We share deets from our reliable source and what Teresa is really going through as she puts on a brave outward facing front. Vacations out of the county, magazine covers and more all look great but how is Tre really doing? In other news, we break down this past weeks RHOC as rumors, and nastiness (yes again), arise regarding potential producer manipulation that, if true, have changed the future course of Orange Holders forever. Tamra loses her mind, like, for real this time, Vicki thinks she has an actual chance of returning for Season 20 and Katie really should listen closely to this episode and avoid the reunion at all costs. Call us girl. All this and more in this explosive episode we never saw coming! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last week, we all sat around and witnessed Katie Ginella get run off The Real Housewives of Orange County. This week, the story has continued with an entire group of women forcing one of their very own out. Is there anyone out there who thinks Katie can actually recover with this group and live to see another season? Lie detectors do not lie, or do they, and who was really responsible for the take down of Katie Ginella? Katie? The Cast? Producers? Was the cast really as outraged as they appeared on air and just who is the biggest liar of them all on the current cast? You got questions and we have answers here today!

RHONJ is recast without Teresa. This narrative keeps arising week after week, day after day. We break down the origins of this narrative, share info on the rumored newbies, discuss the likelihood Dolo, Marge and Mel will return and what this really all means for the future of the once beloved franchise. Speaking of RHONJ, RHOC has gone as dark as RHONJ on air with lie detectors, lies and allegations of criminal activity and off air with accusations of racism, more lies and cast show downs that leave many calling for an all cast change, RHONJ style pause or, at the very least, several main cast members’ termination. The RHOP trailer has come and gone, Karen Huger has been released from jail and Bravo’s cameras are back up to capture The Grand Dame’s first words, wig and all. Denise Richards’ daughter makes headlines and Denise is caught in the fire along with ex Charlie Sheen.

In a series of strange and disturbing new statements, it has become very clear that Teresa Giudice has officially lost her mind in oh, so very many ways. Speaking of Teresa, BravoCon has some interesting RHONJ updates as Teresa and Gia prepare to get into it hard with Kody Brown later this month on Special Forces. Teddi has stepped forward with a new message to the RHOC cast considering she is part of the story line this season. Tamra continues to play uber victim as we cry Munchausen's and her daughter declares she is a good, pious person.

Being called a liar by a group of liars, in many respects, is a huge compliment and there are no shortage of liars this season of RHOC. The liars on RHOC are running so rampant that an official lie detector test made its way onto the season but Miss Tamra Judge has taken a moment out of her very busy schedule to get the last laugh. The RHONJ casting bloodbath is alive and well and in motion. Scheana Shay slams Stassi and LVP. Denise Richards steps forward with a major power play in her divorce to remind us all - hello Charlie Sheen - that this is not her first time at the rodeo.

Now that Season Three of The Valley has commenced filming this week, it is time to discuss who is in/out, who should be in/out, who is likely to emerge as the new Valley villain now that Jax is gone (no, not Janet) and last, but not least, which past full time Vanderpump Rules cast members are likely to land that coveted full time spot. Stassi and Lisa Vanderpump’s secret alliance is exposed. Speaking of Stassi and LVP, Vanderpump Villa Season Three begins filming in the English countryside as the future of Stassi’s new solo show remains uncertain at best. Vanderpump Rules 2.0 snags a drop date and we deep dive what we know about the new cast and fans’ expectations versus the reality of what to expect once the show premieres. In other news, rumors, and nastiness, arise now that it is months later, about the true nature of Paige DeSorbo’s Summer House exit. Speaking of rumors, Hannah Berner is slammed with a few herself and they ain’t so nice. Meanwhile, Carl opens his soft bar with a lotta ambition and well…. Tamra Judge is not on the spectrum, the entire RHOC cast tries to alienate Katie further and Producers make final moves to put on one F of a show at the upcoming RHOC reunion. @vanderpumprobs @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) FLETCHY - Fletchy.lnk.to/TCA (STream “The Colossal Apostle” From Fletchy To Hear What All The Hype Is About) 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.

RHONJ has resumed filming for Season 15 without Teresa Giudice, or so someone, or Teresa, or Luis, or someone in Teresa’s camp would love for you to believe. In other news, Miss Karen Huger, The Grand Dame herself has been released from prison after only serving half her jail time. Well, she will be released this Tuesday assuming nothing goes wrong between now and then. RHOP Season 10 is still in production with many wondering, in what capacity, if any, will The Grand Dame return for the upcoming season, a “cameras” up end of season addendum and /or the reunion. Teddi Mellencamp inserts herself in the RHOC drama off air, lies for Tamra and has a few choice words for both Gretchen and Katie Ginella. Teresa’s bad influence seems to have rubbed off on her good friend Jacqueline Laurita, Paige DeSorbo films “The Devil Wears Prada” and last but not least, Coach Shah celebrates his 31st wedding anniversary in jail with Jen as Jen serves out the remainder of her sentence with a summer 2026 release rapidly approaching. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Lea Black steps Behind The Rope. The “Mayor of Miami” is here to chat about her time on The Real Housewives of Miami - the highs and lows, the epic fights and the various cast members she saw come and go during her full series run on RHOM 1.0. Of course, we discuss the “reboot” aka the new current incarnation of RHOM and why Lea is not involved. With this stellar season of RHOM well underway, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Lea Black. Lea shares her thoughts about the Reboot, Alexia, Lisa, Larsa, Marysol, Adriana and Julia. Finally Lea chats about her brilliant lawyer of a husband Roy Black (RIP), Joanna Krupa, Tom Girardi’s (who Roy Black and her knew) fall from grace and oh, so very much more!

Who knew one deep, dark lie, or truth, or lie about being “naked wasted” would set a whole chain of events in motion that will ultimately cost several current orange holders their jobs when this “blogger” season of RHOC comes to an end. RHOA comparisons have been made, the entire cast has been telling various lies and in Miss Judge’s own words from the past, any season that is all about something that has happened off air could be a huge red flag for the future success of the show. In other news, Luis Ruelas is up to this old tricks, but this time, his recent statements and actions are so scandalous and anti-Bravo that the nail could finally be put in Teresa’s proverbial coffin. Speaking of Tre, the RHONJ cast is in a “Game of Thrones” style bloodbath with a race to the finish line as the new cast is expected to be announced in 3,2,1…. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

In shocking news that no one saw coming, Gia declares she is desperate to get away from Teresa, and, we wonder, Louie? Bethenny is living her best life down in Florida, but where is her ex Jason Hoppy and when is the last time he saw Bryn? Tamra is very hurt by Emily and Gina, makes moves away from them and tells a few more lies, but, hey, lying seems to be a theme this season of RHOC. Meanwhile, Brittany Cartwright meets a new man, gets Kristen Doute’s stamp of approval and receives an on line message from a woman claiming to be his wife. Gizelle and Monique call a truce as Keiarna Stewart unfollows Professor Wendy.

As Teresa Giudice’s RHONJ future hangs in Bravo’s possibly ill fated hands, fans revisit the convo of whether her beloved husband Louie Ruelas has really ruined her chances of an RHONJ return. RHOBH’s newest diamond holder Amanda Frances has come in hot to the currently filming season 15, but all is not as it seems as tidbits from her past are revealed. Bethenny Frankel continues to win at life, but Bravo has a new message for her. Erika Jayne buckles up for a complicated upcoming RHOBH season. Karen Huger prepares to be released from jail later this year, Gizelle Bryant is slammed and Meghan King Edwards becomes a Class A Stalker. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 Louie Ruelas’ court case with his ex fiancée grows closer, Gia Giudice gets dragged into the middle of it, Jackie Goldschneider knowingly puts herself in the middle of it and Louis continues to claim all sorts of hardships and loss of income which have RHONJ viewers scratching their heads, once again, about what he actually does do for a living. Denise Richards finally breaks her silence on her nasty divorce, demands Aaron and family vacate the premises of the family home prior to possible eviction and faces more rumors about exactly what her role will be next season when RHOBH returns to our TVs later this year. Teresa loses another job, more drama with the Wives at Sea Cruise arises and RHONJ casting rumors flair with outrageous tabloid fodder unlikely to ever come true. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 Giudice, and Louie, have received some very good and some not so good news this week as they navigate daily life and hold their breath that they are on the good list when the RHONJ cast is announced any week now. Dorit and Boz hit a rough patch as they film RHOBH Season 15. RHOM Producers are accused of defamation as they navigate being the lowest rated Housewives franchise of all time. Brandi Glanville attempts to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. The RHOSLC trailer dropped last week and the fall out of the new season has already begun as a result. Finally, RHONY’s Raquel Chevremont, remember her, sues her ex fiancé for $10 million dollars all but ensuring her RHONY return, if anyone even cares. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 has addressed the future of RHONJ and today we break down Daddy’s statement, discuss what this means for both Melissa and Teresa and address all the many fake blogger rumors which have surfaced over the past few weeks. We also all know by now Andy Cohen and Carole Radziwill have reconciled, but today, we break down just how this actually happened, why this actually happened, what this means for the future of RHONY and last, but certainly not least, what Bethenny Frankel thinks about this once feuding duo. Now that The Valley has finished its second season, fan outrage over Janet continues to grow with many urging she and husband Jason exit ASAP. Finally, rumors and nastiness arise regarding Scheana Shay and her much beloved book that lead some to believe all is not as it seems. @polatteu @patriksimpson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

With all the new shows coming to Bravo later this year, we figured today the perfect day to check in on the status of Jeff Lewis’ new show, working title Flipping Out 2.0. This season of RHOC makes moves with Katie’s revenge, mean girl Emily and the looming lie detector finale which is rumored to have left the cast too stunned to speak.

This past week Tamra Judge has asked her cast mates, fans and general RHOC for sympathy in what she has been going through this season. Gretchen Rossi has eviscerated Miss Judge in a response we are just not worthy of. RHOC Producers move closer to a full on Shannon Beador take down. Tamra demands Shannon be fired again, Gina K. relishes in Tamras very temporary exit and Shannon demands she is not an alcoholic, all on and off air this past week in RHOC land. In other news, Teresa Giudice tells some new major RHONJ lies, and/or, is just a little delusional. Ramona The Singer Stinger is up to her old tricks in The Hamptons this summer, being ruder than rude to all those caught in her path. Luann shares Bethenny Frankel Updates. Alexis Bellino moves closer to becoming Mrs. Johnny J. Last, but not least, The Real Housewives of London premieres with a bang! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Dorit has been seen spending big bucks during this currently filming RHOBH season but not all that meets the eye is real or as it seems. Andy Cohen is very angry about a whole slew of things, many of which we cannot blame him for. One thing he is happy about though is RHOM as tea from behind the scenes of their reunion have leaked hard this past week. Tamra Judge’s ego gets bigger by the week as Eddie remains MIA for this whole RHOC Season. Speaking of RHOC, our fav orange holders seem to be bringing it this season as the Katie take down that they all planned on seems to have gone awry at best. Bethenny Frankel’s latest rants hit home.

Moving on, Marge The Sarge Josephs is up to her usual games again and new facts about the future of RHONJ emerge.

Dorit & PK reconcile much to everyone’s surprise but all is not as meets the eye as this season’s filming of RHOBH continues. Dolores Catania is caught up in a scam that no one saw coming. RHOC’s up and down season continues which the entire cast still promise a very dark, deep secret to be revealed at the finale, lie detector and all. Lindsay Hubbard’s spin off is set to film. Jesse Lally’s girlfriend comes forward with a much different story than was told at The Valley reunion.

Bethenny Frankel has been making big waves, and moves, this summer and Melissa is here to help make sense of it all. The RHONY OGs have been spending quite a bit of time together this summer in The Hamptons but all is not necessarily as it seems.

Denise Richards makes strides in her divorce against Aaron where she appears to be winning, remains seemingly unbothered and is thriving now that she has returned to RHOBH. RHONJ remains off the air but new facts emerge which seem to suggest that the entire cast could ultimately return, why Teresa and Melissa could work together again and how Gia may be a bargaining chip for Tre when the show eventually returns, maybe, next year. Speaking of show pauses, the new cast of RHONY is expected to be announced any day now with some familiar faces expected to return. Tamra’s therapy does not seem to be helping and she may actually have PTSD from RHOC past. Finally, with Ladies of London, Zoe, Gretchen and more back on Bravo, who from the past will be next. All this and more with the one and only Val Greenberg. @valgreenberg @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Purchase Val’s Book, You've Been VALidated, at the below link: https://www.amazon.com/Youve-Been-VALidated-Confidence-Connection/dp/B0DV4MY4MH BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Kathryn talks the highs and lows from her time on Southern Charm, cast mates good and bad, Southern Charm after her, Patricia Altschul and oh, so very much more. On a more serious note, Kathryn opens up about her ongoing struggles with Thomas Ravenel and the truth about her relationship with her children. Finally, Kathryn addresses the many tabloid rumors separating fact from fiction that have arisen regarding her rumored hit and run, custody battle over her children and what the tabloids say is her never ending battle with sobriety.

Joe Gorga has confirmed that both he and Melissa will be returning to film RHONJ Season 15 when the show begins production later this year / early next year. Never one to miss out on an opportunity of her own, Margaret seemingly also confirms her return which, with Dolores and Teresa also present at this November’s BravoCon leads fans to think that the formal announcement may come during Bravo’s biggest day of the year. In other news, Tom Sandoval is rumored to have quit Reality TV to focus on his music with many wondering if he truly will not be doing Scheana on The Valley Season 3. Paige DeSorbo reveals the real reason she quit Summer House, Larsa Pippen has a new face, RHOM prepares for a major cast change and last, but not least, Rachel Zoe is apparently livid that Denise Richards’ RHOBH return amidst one of the most salacious divorces in years is stealing her debut season thunder. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASK RABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Tackle Your To-Do List Today & Get 15% Off Using Promo Code INSIDERS on Taskrabbit.com or On The Task Rabbit App) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 35% Off Plus a Free Bottle of Fiber & Spice Of The Best Fruit, Veggie & Fiber Supplements) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

Yvie Oddly steps Behind The Rope. Yvie is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Yvie chats about what it was like to win Season Eleven of Drag Race, spills the tea on RuPaul and chats the Drag Race judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews. In the home stretch of the summer, we figured today was the perfect day to air this blast from the past chat with the one and only Yvie Oddly. Yvie also discusses guest judge Miley Cyrus and guest judge Kandi Burruss who she had a not so pleasant run in with. Way to bury the lead!

In a series of shocking, scathing posts on Instagram, former Project Runway contestant Kenley Collins pulls back the layers of what she claims was a toxic work environment during her time on the hit show during Season 5 when it was run by both Harvey Weinstein and Andy Cohen. You have to hear this to believe what she is claiming. In other news, Heather Dubrow is mad, really mad, over Gina Kirschenheiter’s claims that Heather behaves much like Teresa Giudice off air digging into cast mate’s backgrounds. In this case, one Miss Katie Ginella. Shannon’s reign to destroy anyone and everyone in her way continues, Tamra slams everyone and RHOC makes major moves all of which will lead to its ultimate finale later this season of just who is the biggest liar on RHOC. Finally, The Valley concludes with Jax’s burner exposed, foreshadowing of Jesse Lally’s girlfriend hopefully joining the cast, Andy schooling everyone and Scheana set to take center stage next season when the new cast is announced any day now.

Carole Radziwill has returned to the clubhouse exactly 7 years after her last appearance but that is not all that she is returning to. We discuss Carole’s future on Bravo and one thing is very clear, RHONY Season 16 here we come. Andy plans to stick to his promise and announce the new RHONY cast any day now. Jen Fessler makes some desperate moves, Teresa talks her RHONJ future and Gia’s first podcast seems to have failed as she already has a new one in the works. Finally, Brandi Glanville is on a fast track to mental instability, burns off half her face and, in a move no one saw coming, names her parasite, which Vicki Gunvalson also claims she has, Caroline, we can only assume after Miss Manzo for the obvious reason of, well, having ruined her life. Finally, Lindsay Hubbard blasts the most self righteous man on Bravo, the one, the only, Mr. Carl Radke.

Another day, another bit of drama in the Denise and Aaron saga which is now known as their divorce. From the cops being called to accusations of dead dogs, Denise and Aaron’s drama gets more insane by the day. Mistakes on both sides are made but how will this play out if and when their formal divorce actually has its day in court? Speaking of insane, Jax Taylor’s actions are making even less sense than usual after being fired from The Valley and his namesake bar as folks start to wonder if he will be okay now that the show is going on without him. Finally, Tamra Judge, in a shocking reveal, shares an update on her friendships with both Vicki and Shannon.

Andy Cohen has broken his silence and shared a mega update about the future of RHONJ that has us seated. Based on Andy’s update, many rumors, and nastiness, have arisen about who will be in, who will be out and who is still yet undermined as of today’s chat. We break down these rumors and nastiness separating fact from fiction and reveal when we can all expect to hear about the return of Teresa and/or Melissa and gang. Gia and Teresa join Special Forces with a whole slew of others.

Having been though a much worse divorce with Charlie Sheen than she is currently going through with Aaron, Denise has learned from the best - thank you Charlie - and seems to be winning at this game every step of the way. Jennifer Pedranti claims Heather Dubrow is afraid of Tamra Judge, Heather protests and Tamra’s henchmen, Emily and Gina, chime in. Speaking of RHOC, Shannon Beador gets one of her cast members fired, continues her poor behavior and plays the perpetual victim as the season moves along. Speaking of seasons moving along, RHOM cast changes are expected and in the works as more than one fan fav is expected to be on the chopping block. Last, but certainly not least, Teresa leaves her supposed BFF Dolores Catania in the lurch for bigger and better things. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Denise Richards has officially entered RHOBH Season 15 earlier this week in a sit down dinner with Sutton and Erika. Fans can rest assure that her volatile divorce from Aaron will be front and center as we break down in just what capacity she is joining our fav Diamond Holders for their upcoming season. Meanwhile, Kyle, Zoe and Dorit were spotted down the street right here in our back yard, The Hamptons. Kim Zolciak hates Tamra Judge but it seems a lot of the current RHOC do too. Jennifer Aydin makes moves this week which show her delusion is real. Katie Ginella proves she is not going down without a fight this week both on and off RHOC. Finally, The Valley Reunion, Episode 2 comes and goes which does not help Jax at all, makes everyone realize just how much of a star Kristen Doute is, annoys Andy Cohen more, revisits Darko Danny and leaves the rest of us suggesting just how this cast should be changed heading into Season 3. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Amidst all of this week’s drama between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers, rumors, not nastiness, have arisen that Denise is headed back to participate in the upcoming season of RHOBH. Speaking of RHOBH, Garcelle officially hard launched her new beau last week, but now it is time to get under the hood of the car to share what we know so far about this fine new gent who is occupying G’s time. Brock has forgotten that he cheated on Scheana. Peter Madrigal has slammed Scheana and the rest of the VPR cast. Last, but certainly not least, Bethenny has fled the scene in another series of TikToks which have left many wondering, what the F is really going on. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Very reliable sources confirm that Scheana Shay is a “done deal” to join the cast of The Valley for Season 3. Kristen Doute has issued a warning to Scheana about joining the cast, has revealed her true feelings about Brock and has a few things to say about Scheana’s now NYC Best Selling Book. Finally, Gia, having wrapped her first season on Next Gen, wants to connect with Savannah Chrisley ASAP for a whole host of reasons all of which seem calculated.

Now that the dust has settled and Jax has lost his role on The Valley, his job as namesake of Jax’s Studio City, his wife and what is possibly about to be the custody of his child, we take a look back to ask just how did Jax Taylor lose it all when only two years ago he was hailed as one of the best comebacks in Bravo history. Tamra’s lies seem to be backfiring on her as even her performative reform and therapy do not seem to be working to get her fellow orange holders to buy what she is selling. Katie Ginella moves forward with her plan of how to win against a cast take down. Emily becomes meaner, Gina chimes in, Shannon becomes unraveled, Jo De La Rosa shows up and Gretchen continues to bah-ring it.

Kelly Dodd’s Brother steps Behind The Rope. Eric Meza, that is. If you have not heard, Eric has come forward over the past few days in a series of now viral videos with claims that Kelly’s whole family does not speak to her anymore, that she engaged in shocking acts toward her daughter and so very much more. Today, Eric is here to explain these claims in detail and just what Kelly has done to drive her family away. Eric shares never before heard alleged secrets from her past that have left us absolutely shell shocked and speechless.

As RHOBH continues to film its upcoming Season 15, Dorit and Kyle call a truce, Rachel Zoe’s divorce takes center stage and other secrets from production arise that leave us all wondering, how is this season really going. Jennifer Aydin resurfaces for a hot second. RHOC’s real liar is about to be exposed. Speaking of RHOC, this season has been met with mixed reviews which lead many to wonder, is the beginning of the end of Housewives forever finally, really here? As for the end, Vicki Gunvalson is still not over the show going on without her. Last, but certainly not least, Next Gen NYC emerges as Bravo’s clear winner of the year, so far… @polatteu @patriksimpson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Gia Giduice is on her apology tour after, in her words, seeming completely annoyed at everything and everyone during this past season of Next Gen. Gia shades Aunt Mel (what else is new), praises Aydin (for real?) and reflects how she will change next season (yes there will be one) when the show starts filming later this year. Sutton has a new FU for Garcelle as Garcelle boos up and RHOBH filming prepares to come to a close for what will hopefully be a great upcoming Season 15. Kenya Moore is hurt and betrayed by Cynthia Bailey, praises Andy Cohen and Porsha and is sued by her landlord. Finally, Charlie may be leaving Next Gen, Kathy Hilton chats on her RHOBH future and we wonder, and discuss in detail, what Charlie Sheen must think about Denise’s current divorce. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Housewives of Miami’s Karent Sierra steps Behind The Rope. Karent is here to mention it all regarding the good and bad with RHOM. Karent spills the tea on former cast mates Adriana, Marysol, Lisa and Alexia who are all still going strong today. She talks highs and lows and reveals where all the “bodies are buried”. With this stellar season of RHOM going strong in full force, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Karen Sierra. We also pay homage to RHOM legends from the past like Lea Black and Joanna Krupa, discuss where Karent stands today with Alexia, Lisa, Marysol and Adriana, reveal who changed the most from the fame of show and last, but certainly not least, chat who was the meanest of the RHOM “mean girls”. @karentsierra @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

This week, as expected, Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers divorce took more twists and turns than an episode of RHOBH. Aaron released Denise’s alleged sexts with Special Forces co-star Rudy Reyes, Denise’s attorney fired back claiming he violated the restraining order and oh, so much more. Rumors, not nastiness, arise that Carole Radziwill is headed to RHONY Season 16 and we are here to explain why this may just very well be the case. Teresa is acting delusional again about herself and her RHONJ future. Finally, The Valley Reunion Part I has left everyone asking just how fast can Jax actually leave the building and who else from the current cast is about to go. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Shannon Beador has lost her mind in a series of new interviews and chats claiming all sorts of insane things about her cast mates past and present. Katie Ginella is hailed as evil by the cast. Heather Dubrow says she is not leaving RHOC and oh so very much more. In other news, The RHOBH newbies are clashing with the veteran cast. Kyle and Dorit have good days and not so good days. Gia Giudice has been edited out of Next Gen NYC and the viewers come for her over her recent statements about Riley Burruss. Teresa teaches Gia a few things about the biz she maybe should not have paid attention to. Last, but not least, Guerdy claims the RHOM cast has been icing her out Katie Ginella style and Julia Lemigova digs herself deeper into a hole which is not helpful for her future on RHOM. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Kyle Richards has a really big RHOBH problem which does not seem to be going away anytime soon. Speaking of Kyle, her RHOBH problem and the new season, new leaks from filming have arisen confirming that more than one of our fav diamond holders is having a hard time this season in the hot seat. Erika Jayne’s court date has been set and there are many reasons for her to worry these days. RHOC promises a very dark, twisted, not easily able to recover from season finale which will forever change many of the current relationships of the cast. Jax Taylor has had a master plan and it all seems to be falling into line exactly as he has planned. Denise and Aaron’s divorce gets stranger by the day in a he said / she said which is dark, low and has left the audience completely divided on exactly what to believe. Finally, Teresa and Louie use each other more as their situation grows more dire by the day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Kyle Richards, in a new series of interviews, has revealed all sorts of things, friendships and TV that she is just done with which has left us confused, shocked and speechless. Andy Cohen has banned all sorts of things regarding Housewives all thanks to the woman many call the most successful Housewife of all time, Bethenny Frankel. Speaking of Bethenny, she has a whole new set of things to rant on this week and we are so here for it. Tamra Judge reveals the results of her lie detector test which this entire RHOC season is leading up to. Kandi Burruss receives the second ever Wifetime Achievement Award which will be presented to her at BravoCon later this year but what is the real reason both Kandi and Vicki Gunvalson were chosen for this, for lack of a better word, award. Finally, Heather Dubrow joins Melissa Gorga on the unemployment line as her podcast moves on to greener pastures but there is much more than meets the eye to these strange disappearances. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) 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, Aaron Phypers has come out swinging slamming back at Denise with claims of affairs, addictions and mental stablity. Since then, Aaron has doubled down, accuses Denise of sleeping with a co-star and discusses what disparaging info he is prepared to release next as their August 8th restraining order day in court nears. Louie Ruelas makes new moves to secure a huge payday from Teresa who he seems to have turned into his little worker bee. Teddi Mellencamp shares more updated, heartbreaking news. Last, but not least, the Katie Ginella take down season the RHOC cast had hoped for seems to be backfiring with several new mean girls emerging as front runner to get themselves voted off the franchise. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

Denise Richards’ divorce has so many twists and turns there seems to be new info every hour on the hour. By now everyone has heard Denise’s claims of abuse by Aaron. Aaron strongly denies those claims and a serious case of two very different conflicting stories is in full effect as we approach their initial hearing date, August 8th, in which a judge will determine if her temporary restraining order should be made permanent. Erika Jayne and Teddi tried to warn us all and many resurfaced RHOBH clips, plus Denise’s reaction to the Brandi Glanville situation, are now revisited causing fans to look at everything and anything with hindsight which, they say, is 20/20. This RHOC take down season of Katie does not seem to be going quite as Tamra, Emily and Gina had planned. The RHONJ long pause which is just getting started means so much more to the future of other franchises than meets the eye. Teresa makes new moves Down Under in acts of desperation, Dolores declares her PTSD and many cast members become delusional in a total lack of reality about what their future on RHONJ really looks like.

Margaret Josephs has a few words of advice, pity and what seems to be fake empathy for Miss Teresa Giudice in a new series of interviews which leave no one wanting RHONJ back on our screens anytime soon until all sorts of messes from the past are sorted out. Tamra Judge explains the real reason she quit RHOC earlier this year and acts holier than thou forgetting she has a few skeletons of her own in the closet. Scheana Shay reveals her impressive list of Hollywood conquests, chats about what VPR Producers forced her to do against her will and discusses how she was punished by Lisa Vanderpump all because of her number one enemy, Kyle Richards. Finally, Lisa and Larsa call a truce, Stephanie Shojaee reminds us that she is rich, again and last, but certainly not least, Guerdy smacks Julia down publicly leaving most of the cast too stunned to speak. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) GOPURE - gopurebeauty.com (Use Code Velvet To Get 25% Off The Best Tighten & Lift Neck Cream) THRIVE MARKET - thrivemarket.com/velvetrope (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) INDACLOUD - indacloud.co (Use Code Velvet For 25% Off Your First Order Plus Free Shipping on Federally Legal Gummies, Flower, Prerolls and More) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

Denise and Aaron’s daily he said / she said saga continues with Denise’s attorneys issuing a strong warning to Aaron which Aaron responds to by doubling down on his claims against Ms. Richards and, to everyone’s surprise, filing a police report of his own. Kelly Dodd and Teresa Giudice mock Denise’s claims of abuse and get tons of push back and on line vitriol for it. Teddi Mellencamp is in danger with another attempted burglary at her home which has revealed horrifying details for her and her family. Finally, this season of The Valley has come to a close with Brittany totally repulsed by Jax, Janet hated by everyone except Brittany, more questions about Darkside Danny than we had before the episode, Kristen Doute the clear MVP of the show, reality tv and life and last, but not least, a clear vision and understanding as to why, from a show point of view, Jax will not be back. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra has just claimed that Shannon has hatched a diabolical plan to take her down and out as Tamra continues her sympathy tour with more tears, apologies and re-introductions. Speaking of RHOC, although she will never return to Bravo, Kelly Dodd has taken a moment out of her busy day - said sarcastically - to issue a plea to us directly in an attempt to pull on our heartstrings, assuming we have any. Melissa Gorga quit her podcast a few weeks ago, but what are the real reasons for shutting down “On Display” and just what does this move have to do with the return and future of RHONJ. Bethenny Frankel has suffered another recent loss which has pulled on the heartstrings of many and has others claiming it performative.

As RHOC continues its season 19 drama, one thing has become apparent. Katie Ginella has learned nothing from Teresa Giudice’s downfall due to blogger involvement.

As RHOC continues its season 19 drama, one thing has become apparent. Katie Ginella has learned nothing from Teresa Giudice’s downfall due to blogger involvement. The fans are split between team Katie vs. team Emily as rumors arise that two main RHOC cast members will not be returning for Season 20. Kelly Dodd falls from grace again with more rumors and nastiness swirling about her erratic behavior. Denise Richards’ divorce gets uglier by the day as her Reality show is cancelled.

Teresa may be enjoying her time down under, but all is not as it seems as a boots on the ground vacationer spills the T, no pun intended - revelations, Louie and new lows. Jennifer Tilly and Faye Resnick “smackdown” rumors arise and grow legs as both women weigh in and share tidbits about what is really going on now that we are smack dab in the middle of filming RHOBH season 15. Speaking of RHOBH Season 15, Dorit and Kyle’s secret alliance is exposed. Now that Jax has left the Valley, the rest of the cast scrambles to make the cut as the new cast and filming Season 3 is expected later this summer. Scheana? Lala? Finally, Lisa and Larsa fight more, Stephanie loves money and Lenny Hochstein is at it again. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Even though this season of RHOC has just begun, in a mere few months all the current drama will come to a shocking end which is promised to be equally awkward, jaw dropping and a total reset of most of the current relationships on the cast. Gretchen is back and determined to have a fate different than the almost forgotten Alexis. In other news, RHORI is off to a rocky start with many bans across the RI state. Speaking of RHORI, Dolores’ true involvement is exposed and the dark side of Paulie is discussed. Jax Taylor gets banned. Kristen gets redeemed, again. Janet sends mixed messages and last, but certainly not least, the Bloggers infiltrate Bravo again. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASK RABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Tackle Your To-Do List Today & Get 15% Off Using Promo Code INSIDERS on Taskrabbit.com or On The Task Rabbit App) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) BALANCE OF NATURE - balanceofnature.com (Get 31 Ingredients From Fruits & Vegetables w/ Balance of Nature Fruits & Veggies Supplements) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Bravo begs the courts to silence Leah McSweeney in an unprecedented move to keep all their private information, well, private. Nene Leakes talks The Traitors Season Four.

RHOC is back in our lives and there is no shortage of drama right out of the gate. Having learned nothing from the RHONJ pause and Teresa’s dirty involvement with Bloggers which caused NBC to pull the show, Katie Ginella’s extra curricular activities with bloggers, podcasts and anyone and everyone else who will listen seems to have cost her the trust of her cast mates, love from the audience and possibly her coveted orange in what is likely to be a Katie take down season of the OG franchise. Denise Richards’ husband Aaron Phypers has filed for divorce asking for spousal support, a chunk of her Only Fans dynasty and everything he came into the marriage with as fans wonder what this means for Denise, her family, a possible RHOBH return and more. Finally, Rachel Zoe and Dorit are knee deep in RHOBH Season 15 filming but things may not be going as smoothly as has been anticipated. Oh My Gawd.

RHOP producers F with Candiace Dillard who has a lot to say about a lot of things as of late. Speaking of Candiace, the Traitors Season 4 is almost done filming.

PK and Dorit are officially at war as their divorce gets nasty with new love interests, financial woes and PK wanting a piece of her now very large RHOBH salary. Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz are spending so much time together, gush over each other publicly, he picks up her tabs at dinner and so much more that we finally had to check with our sources regarding the now strong rumors that they are, in fact, a couple and dating. Rumors and fan fiction or truth that their secret rendezvous are about to be exposed? In other news, Teresa Giudice needs your money in order to pay her taxes. Juicy Joe faces new lows which Teresa is rumored to be responsible for and involved in.

Gia Giduice needs help. She is asking for your help, all the character witnesses' help and last, but not least, the President’s help to bring her Dad Juicy home.

RHOM goes low gansta style a la RHONJ with private investigators, off camera convos with bloggers and cast members vying for top dog no matter what it takes. RHOC returns tomorrow night and RHOC cast members past and present have a few words for Ms. Gretchen Rossi.

RHOC is back in our lives tomorrow and all of our fav Orange Holders have been spilling the tea all over town. Emily Simpson puts Gretchen in her place explaining to her, and us, that she is, in fact, afraid of one Miss Tamara Judge. Gretchen claps back and has a few words for Ms. Simpson of her own. Tamra is angry…again. A Top Attorney warns Bravo of their legal exposure, with many reasons and examples, that could result in litigation if they do not let Mr. Jax Taylor go. Here we go again… Kristen Doute and Tom Sandoval reunite, and it feels, kinda good as Sandy moves one step closer to signing a contract for The Valley Season Three. The truth behind Kelly Dodd’s breakdowns are exposed as are Jeff Lewis’ break ups and make ups. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THRIVE MARKET - thrivemarket.com/velvetrope (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Bravo has some regrets about the power they gave Teresa through all these years which has now led to an RHONJ future which is still, at best, uncertain. Bravo continues to attempt to figure out the mess they have gotten into regarding RHONJ’s future with various initial solutions presented. Speaking of RHONJ, Juicy Joe has a new set of problems.Tom Sandoval’s year of redemption continues with a now viral appearance on America's Got Talent, fan approval and what appears to be a next season full time role on The Valley along with his buddy Schwartzy. Speaking of The Valley, major cast changes are going to happen with new hires, fan favs fired and last, but certainly not least, the Jax of it all. Finally, new Housewife and Podcast feuds emerge, Sutton Stracke buckles up for a difficult RHOBH Season and RHOC returns with a bang, a new villain and a Tamra who is in rare form and ready to rumble. The Chumps themselves, Patrik and Pol, return to dish it all! @patriksimpson @polatteu @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THRIVE MARKET - thrivemarket.com/velvetrope (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

Captain Sandy steps Behind The Rope. She is back! Captain Sandy stops by to help us break down the current season of Below Deck, to talk about her own almost decade long at the helm of BD Med and so much more. Sandy talks Captains Kerry, Lee and Jason. Sandy talks Chief Stews Hannah, Fraser, Bugsy.

The Valley’s Janet Caperna has left the United States amid multiple continuous death threats which she has received on line as a result of her edit this season on “Jax’s Show”. As The Valley heads into its final weeks with a major cast change on the horizon, Janet’s return is uncertain at best. Louie Ruelas appeared on Next Gen this past week. Sources have now come forward explaining exactly why Louie appeared on the show. It seems the motivations behind Louie's appearance are much greater than just supporting step-daughter Gia and that the masterminds at Bravo have a bigger plan at play. Finally, with the RHOC set to return to our screens later this week, Tamra Judge remains as clueless as ever and the entire cast has spilled a ton of tea in a series of interviews which we break down here today! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Frankie Grande steps Behind The Rope. Reality TV Star, Red Carpet Host, Influencer, Broadway Legend.

As this long and fun holiday weekend comes to a close, we figure today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Frankie Grande.

Now that Next Gen NYC is a huge hit that everyone is talking about, Bravo moves ahead with Next Gen LA having already spoken to several Housewives’ kids from various franchises, including the local mothership RHOBH. The possibilities are endless and several high profile offspring have already expressed serious interest in becoming the next Ariana Biermann. Teresa Giudice now claims she was attacked… again! The Gorgas’ RHONJ future is in jeopardy. RHOA concludes with a bang with an Angela versus Phaedra blow out that makes it very clear that Phaedra was not brought back to salvage this season but to lead us into the clear storyline that will take center stage when RHOA returns for its seventeenth installment next year. Finally, The Valley slays again without Jax, a very messy Jesse - in the best way possible and after over a decade of highs and lows a very engaged Kristen Doute. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Andy Cohen has recently come out with a bombshell that there are three banned Housewives from different franchises that he never, ever wants to work with again. We break down just who these three are, the difference between “banned" and “would rather not work with” and just what is up with the various lawsuits against Bravo and Andy these days. In other news, the Gorga’s hit a road block on their journey to filming Bravo’s upcoming Wife Swap but all is not as it seems. Finally, a Jersey Shore cast member could be headed to RHONJ when and if the show ever returns for its much talked about 15th season and it is someone none of us ever saw coming! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 more the months go on with no RHONJ in our lives, the more likely it is that both Melissa and Teresa will be returning and many recent statements by Andy Cohen himself sure seem to suggest this. As The Real Housewives of Miami continues with mediocre ratings and a Larsa / Lisa feud we just do not want to pick sides on, they take a time out to send a clear and direct message to Miss Bethenny Frankel and it ain’t pretty. Teddi Mellencamp has ignited a new feud we never could have predicted nor saw coming but now just cannot get enough of. Tom Sandoval continues his redemption tour with an appearance on America’s Got Talent that many say was rigged. Stacey Rusch tells Wendy Osefo to F off. Candiace Dillard talks Monique Samuels and shady RHOP production.

In an effort to rebuild her life now that husband Louie has all but vanished from her socials and career, Teresa blames everyone on her staff, to use that term loosely, for her current financial mess, fires everyone in her employ and throws out different strategies, and conflicting statements, regarding her RHONJ future. Melissa Gorga gets in a serious car accident and Tre Huggers old and young, near and far react in shocking, unprecedented and unheard of manners that we just cannot. Reports arise that Gia Giduice is jealous of Next Gen’s break out star Ariana Biermann for reasons we never could have predicted. Speaking of Ariana, she talks Kim Zolciak, Chet Hanks and what really happened to all her money. Finally, this season of The Valley needs to end so that Production can come in, chop heads, and deliver the revised slimed down cast they so promised. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Kelly Dodd’s latest scandal just does not seem to want to go away. New facts emerge in Kelly’s latest public tantrum which the world witnessed last week in the form of a threatening voicemail to her ex husband which she claims is AI. Haven’t we heard that somewhere before? Margaret Josephs, we are looking at you. With Kelly driving at 200 mph straight into a proverbial brick wall, we wonder if it is time to ask for some much needed help. New facts also come forth regarding the one and only Heather McDonald regarding some moves in her past. Casting for the future of RHONJ may be closer than you think. Teresa remains on pins and needles as husband Luie Ruelas vanishes. Today we discuss the real reasons why Luis is MIA, just where he has gone off to and whether this will help him and / or Teresa accomplish the many, complicated, lofty goals they so hope to achieve sooner than later. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Gia Giudice has been fired or so the rumors say. Fan fiction, fake, someone’s imagination or real life truth? We break down all the chatter about Gia Giudice’s rumored termination on Next Gen which even Andy Cohen, not the Executive Producer of this show, himself has weighed in on. Meanwhile, Mama Tre has a new job and potentially a new blogger to replace Melissa’s Old Nose. Is Teresa up to her old tricks or is this all just a bunch of noise and distraction from what is really going on, a $3 million dollar tax debt. Jax Taylor creates another fake social media account, lies about a few things and leans into what some call his “very fake” life. Speaking of Jax, The Valley prepares to ax much of the cast. RHOM chugs along with fake divorces, feuds, boyfriends and so much more. RHOC is back in full force with Katie’s very difficult sophomore season ready to unfold before our very eyes, bloggers and all. Katie was absent last summer when Teresa Giudice’s blogger disaster unfolded before our very eyes. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Now that the dust has settled from Jeff Lewis' Exes’ - Gage and Scott - engagement announcement, two of the Chumps themselves - Patrik and Pol - step Behind The Rope to discuss how, what, why, where, when, and more importantly, what happens next for all the aforementioned parties and how is Jeff Lewis really feeling about these upcoming nuptials of his two ex boyfriends. In other news, Kenya Moore’s actions have resulted in, not only a $20M law suit by Brit Eady against Bravo, NBC and production but have caused rumors to circulate that all Housewife franchises are in jeopardy of cancellation. Rumors that have arisen again, stronger, louder and more real than ever. RHOC is back in our lives with Gretchen’s revenge, a new villain in someone we never suspected nor saw coming, Tamra in rare form and oh, so very much more.

There has been a lot of chatter the past few weeks about Louie Ruelas’ disappearance out of Teresa’s life. There have also been a lot of theories as to why. Today we break down the real reasons why Louie has all but disappeared from his own social media, Tre’s socials and what this means for the return of RHONJ. Speaking of the return of RHONJ, Dolores Catania’s recent statements have just hurt Teresa’s chances of returning. Did Dolo mean to put a wrench is her so called bestie’s plans to remain the RHONJ OG or was this all just a pure accident? Speaking of Tre, she has just “enjoyed” a wild weekend away with Kelly Dodd, but all is not as it seems as these two use each other in the hopes that viewers will forget what each shockingly has going on in their own lives. Fear not, we are here to remind you.

Cynthia Bailey steps back Behind The Rope. What a season of RHOA this has been. Kenya’s exit, Phaedra’s return, Porsha’s failure to make the mark she was bought back to, newbie Angela, low ratings, Brit’s exit and current $20M lawsuit against Bravo, NBC and RHOA Production. The one constant has been Cynthia Bailey and, as a result, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Cynthia Bailey. Cynthia is here to talk all things RHOA but, somehow, the convo turns to dinner out with Madonna, Nene Leakes, Celeb Big Bro and last, but certainly not least, her friends Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas. @cynthiabailey @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) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) BOLL & BRANCH - bollandbranch.com/velvetrope (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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 the freshman season of Next Gen NYC chugs along to great fan reception and poor ratings, several individuals have come forward claiming that they were part of the original cast and dropped out as a result of Gia Giudice and, to a lesser extent, Ariana Biermann’s involvement with the show. The individuals explain who they are and why they did not want to be part of a “Housewife Kids” show. Speaking of NYC, Summer House spin off rumors arise again with Paige DeSorbo and Lindsay Hubbard front and center. Meanwhile, behind the scene, a top NBC / Bravo executive shares what will really get a Real Housewife fired, why there are so many Housewives with a criminal record and how they deal with cast scandals and real life addiction issues. Finally, Jennifer Aydin speaks out to address her marriage, RHONJ future, Teresa and much more for those in the back row who were wondering. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Eva Marcille steps Behind The Rope. Eva is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Eva chats RHOA - highs and lows, Kenya, Porsha, Shamea, Kandi, Nene, Bolo and The Grand Dame herself, Karen Huger. Eva also chats winning the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model in 2004. With this stellar return to form season of RHOA well underway, with or without Kenya, we figure today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Eva Marcille. Eva opens up about ANTM, that experience, Tyra, her feud with Janice Dickinson and, of course, appearing in JLO’s “Live It Up” video.

Ever since the announcement that Shahs of Sunset will be returning to Bravo, along with Ladies of London, many stories have been spilled as far as what we can expect when Reza, MJ and GG return to our TVs. Today we separate fact from fiction regarding their return and what we can expect when this Valley style show drops. Speaking of The Valley, Jax moves closer to the point of no return by the day and Brittany seems to be enjoying it a little too much. Speaking of MJ, her chump feud with Jeff Lewis over Chump Con takes an interesting turn and new facts arise regarding Sonja Morgan’s well being. Everyone’s favorite chumps, Patrik and Pol, are back to help us make sense of it all. @patriksimpson @polatteu @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASK RABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Tackle Your To-Do List Today & Get 15% Off Using Promo Code INSIDERS on Taskrabbit.com or On The Task Rabbit App) BOLL & BRANCH - bollandbranch.com/velvetrope (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) PIQUE LIFE - piquelife.com/velvet (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) MINT MOBILE- mintmobile.com/velvetrope (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

Dolores Catania has finally broken her silence regarding her actual role in and involvement with The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI) which is filming now and set to premiere on your Bravo screens later this year. Tamra Judge issues a stern warning as RHOC prepares to drop early next month. Andy Cohen’s contract for WWHL has been renewed for two years and his “first look” deal with NBC has been extended for three. For everyone who thinks Housewives is on a decline or that Andy has been affected by the multitude of lawsuits, it does not look like either are going anywhere anytime soon. Ralph outs Drew’s lesbian affair with Ty, receipts and all. Drew claps back. Finally, RHOM premieres to an epic Larsa and Lisa feud, newbie Stephanie and Miss Hochstein claiming it really is not at all about the pasta. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Jenny opens up about the start of her career when she hosted a radio show with Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis, her TV Show on the Hallmark Chanel of the same name and everything and anything in between.

Teresa Giudice has been talking a lot lately about her return to RHONJ, with or without the entire cast, or various members, in tow. The TreHuggers have reacted, of course, in droves - some happy, some not too happy these days for a plethora of reasons. Bethenny Frankel has entered her supermodel era and slams everyone and anyone in her way. RHOBH Season 15 changes. The RHOBH Producers are angry at Boz. Erika Jayne seems to maybe have some deep, dark secrets she does not want to discuss.

Although Teresa may have thought she held all the cards when it came to the future of RHONJ, Bravo has sent a clear and distinct message this week as to who holds all the cards. Hint: them. The network. It is always the network. Bravo rejects Tre’s ultimatum and makes a few things clear about the future of RHONJ which may begin filming sooner than we have all thought.

With all the new shows Bravo has announced over the past few weeks, rumors, not nastiness, have emerged that there is a new Southern Charm spin off show filming which actually has ties to RHOP. Teddi Mellencamp, and Erika Jayne, seem to blame Lisa Vanderpump for a whole lotta things. Dolores’ past comes back to haunt her. Gia, Lexi and Lauren Manzo, the RHONJ next gen, seem to have a lot to say about a lot of things these days. Kristen Doute gets her revenge.

Melissa Rivers is back by popular demand to help us break down all that has been going on in the BravoVerse and Pop Culture world over the past week. Melissa helps us break down why RHORI was really green lit, why it will most likely replace RHONJ and what to really expect when this new franchise premieres on Bravo TVs later this year. Speaking of RHONJ, Teresa moves forward despite her new financial issues with a possible, maybe plan that involves Melissa Gorga. Melissa sheds more light on the real reason Garcelle left RHOBH, shares Kyle and Morgan info and discusses the casting for next season of RHOBH. Melissa chats Taylor, Travis, Blake and Ryan, the love of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner with or without Kris Jenner’s help and a play by play of the Diddy trial.

In a most unexpected move, The Chrisleys have been pardoned. Julie has been spotted, Todd has been doing press conferences non stop and Chase and Savannah do not give one F about what anyone thinks. Of course, Reality TV cameras are there to capture it all. Speaking of Pardons, Teresa Giudice is mad, again, at a whole slew of things. The Villians announces its new cast with repeat offenders. The Traitors is on the verge of announcing its new cast. Finally, Sonja Morgan, to no ones surprise, stiffs another vendor in what she claims was just a mere misunderstanding and oversight. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Todd and Julie Chrisley step Behind The Rope. In a truly shocking turn of events, if you have not heard, Todd and Julie Chrisley have been pardoned and are out of jail, free and clear. Shocked would be an understatement. In this chat, Todd and Julie reminisce about their epic journey over the past almost decade, most of which has been captured on their reality show Chrisley Knows Best. We chat highs & lows both on and off camera, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, Nanny Faye, The Kardashians and more. With almost hourly media updates which Todd seems to be loving (a little too much?), we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Todd and Julie Chrisley. Of course we also talk Real Housewives, Bravo, the spin offs - According To Chrisley, Growing Up Chrisley, What’s Cooking with Julie, biggest misconceptions and what it is like to just be a little particular about many, many things. @toddchrisley @juliechrisley @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PIQUE LIFE - piquelife.com/velvet (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - www.trudiagnostic.com (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

RHONJ may be long off the air but our fav Garden State ladies sure know how to keep themselves in the headlines. Jennifer Aydin has her sights set on a new target as the future of RHONJ may not lie in either Teresa or Melissa as everyone initially thought. Speaking of new targets, Melissa Gorga has a new alliance herself in moves she thinks and hopes will secure her own space in the franchise’s future. The Love Hotel gets hotter by the minute as Lu, Shannon, Ashley and Gizelle reveal more about themselves than most Housewives on The Real Housewives shows as we head into elims, big reveals and the soon to be end of the season. Jax returns to The Valley, Scheana is traumatized by LVP - as is the rest of the VPR cast, Lala makes shocking claims about Jax and Brittany, Jesse Lally reveals shocking new info, The Valley Producers hide scenes from the viewers oh so very much more in this week's latest Bravo drama both on and off air. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Gia Giudice comes out with bold statements and tea regarding next week’s “Next Gen” premiere.

The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI) is coming, many say to replace RHONJ.

Now that RHONJ is a distant, possibly permanent, memory of the past, Dolores is feeling her newfound freedom with no current contractual obligations to keep up any type of friendship with Teresa. From hanging out with Tamra Judge in LA to Margaret and Melissa in NYC, Dolo seems to have finally found her voice, and freedom, as the once top rated franchise looks ahead to maybe one day returning, most likely, without its one time star, Miss Teresa Giudice. In other news, Gia Giudice takes it upon herself to clap back, with the help of Dina Manzo and her daughter Lexi. Ramona Singer reminds us how great her life is and how happy she is all while defending Sonja’s recent behavior which has gotten her banned in multi states at various establishments. Finally, Jesse Solomon talks his Bravoleb crush, Erika Jayne explains that she likes aggressive men whose looks don’t matter and the fans gasp even more over this very unlikely pairing both in and out of the bedroom. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle and Mauricio have come together, with the Fox Force Five, recently to celebrate their daughter’s upcoming nuptials but there is more than meets the eye with Kyle and Mo. There is more than meets the eye with the Fox Force Five also and today we get to the bottom of these ever changing relationships. Finally, Bethenny Frankel has been going through a lot of life changes lately, loudly, for all to see from Poshmark mishaps, a move down South, RHONY desires and much more, it is definitely time for a little check in and hello. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PIQUE LIFE - piquelife.com/velvet (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) 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.

Numerous stories have arisen this week that RHONJ’s very own Dolores Catania will be leaving her beloved Garden State to move to, rent a beach house in or pass on through Rhode Island to appear on, star in or just be a side kick “friend of” on RHORI when it premieres on our Bravo TV’s later this year. Today, we break our silence separating fact from fiction, truth from untruth, Andy Cohen’s comments based on their face value versus their hidden meaning and oh, so very much more finally getting to the bottom of Dolo’s rumored role in RHORI. In other news, Teresa, down two key employees including her long time trusted lawyer, seems to be misbehaving again by allegedly leaking fake stories for her own personal reasons all of which point in one direction, to her return to RHONJ. Finally, Erika Jayne fu*ked Jesse Solomon, kinda, maybe, definitely, sorta, for sure. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cynthia Bailey steps Behind The Rope. Cynthia is here to mention it all. Cynthia talks co-stars past and present - Kenya, Nene, Porsha, Shereé and so many more that have come and gone during her now twelve season off and on run on RHOA. Of course, we also talk the now forever defunct Real Housewives Ultimate Girl’s Trip. With this stellar return to form RHOA season back in our lives - even with Kenya’s departure - and Cynthia’s return to the franchise, we figured today the perfect day to break down this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Cynthia Bailey. Cynthia talks RHOA highs and lows, "50 Cynt”, her time on Celebrity Big Brother, who else from the RHOA past should return and oh so very much more. @cynthiabailey @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) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) 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.

Dolores Catania just wished Teresa Giudice a very Happy Birthday on line for all the world to see. However, all is not as it seems behind the scenes between these once BFFs. TreHugger’s have united, once again, to claim that The Gorgas - Joe and Melissa - have violated a new NDA from Bravo urging the network to sever ties with their Queen’s mortal enemies. Over in and on The Valley, Mia breaks down, Dark Danny makes an appearance, Janet deflects, Luke prepares to propose to KD, Jesse and Michelle hit new lows and Jax prepares to return. Finally, Andy Cohen’s own words are used against him as the powers that be have finally asked the question which we - us, Real Housewives, NBC execs, Andy, the fans - have all been talking around for the past many months, “has the Real Housewives Franchise finally reached its breaking point”? @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Ariana Madix heads back to Fiji for Love Island but not without a stern warning to Bravo, Lisa Vanderpump and others as she spills more tea than we ever expected, or asked for. Speaking of LVP, Kristen Doute laughs at her and shares some words of advice. Andy Cohen claps back at everyone. Sophia Umanksy walks out on Mo. Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin move forward with their divorce but all is not as it seems.

BravoCon has announced its dates, ticket sales dates, ticket prices and talent going. What is much more interesting, is the glaring lack of representation from many shows like RHONJ and RHONY and the fact that Dorit is the only confirmed cast member going from RHOBH. Talk of the RHONY OGs’ return to save RHONY surfaces with various past RHONY banned, not interested, off brand and / or just perfect and ripe to swoop in and save Andy’s obvious fav franchise. Kenya Moore may be in trouble, Andy Cohen claps back, Ramona tells the people to FU and we have a face to face run in in The Hamptons with the woman who doesn’t like to pay her bills, Miss Sonja Morgan. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BOLL & BRANCH - bollandbranch.com/velvetrope (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) MINT MOBILE- mintmobile.com/velvetrope (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) PROMESCENT - promescent.com/velvet (Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Streaming Now 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.

The Valley is facing a big cast shake up amidst a season of low ratings, troubling personal issues which have spilled over into the real world and the absence of Jax for more than half the season. The Valley Producers scream fake news. Today we separate fact from fiction and get to the bottom of what the future of the VPR spin-off really looks like. In other news, Andy Cohen plays favorites - again, RHONY makes a final attempt at a return, RHOA brings the friendship fall outs - hey Porsha and Shamea - and fake story lines, Shahs prepares to return, BravoCon causes tons of drama for Bravolebs and fans alike, Dolores plays even more games than usual and last, but not least, Teddi Mellemcamp is rumored to be prime for a return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when the cast is announced any day now. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BOLL & BRANCH - bollandbranch.com/velvetrope (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) MINT MOBILE- mintmobile.com/velvetrope (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) PROMESCENT - promescent.com/velvet (Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) 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.

Now that the dust has settled after being kicked out of two establishments in two states, Sonja Morgan has emerged with a defense like none we have ever heard before. Danielle Staub slams Margaret Josephs as a thief, puts Dolores Catania in her place and amuses us to no end in the process. Speaking of RHONJ land, Joey Gorga confirms a major rumor which he probably should not have even spoken on… yet. The Summer House reunion looks drop, Porsha and Shamea hit the point of no return, Lisa Rinna makes power moves, Lala has a scare, Teresa doubles down and hits new lows to no ones shock and last, but certainly not least, the Fox Force Five reunite and reminisce…kinda! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

As RHOBH prepares to announce its new cast line up any day now, Sutton Stracke makes another attempt at reconciling with Garcelle which seems to have set off a whole new chain of events that are not beneficial for anyone involved. Southern Charm’s new season is well underway with OGs, newbies and no shortage of drama. After having just made up a few weeks back, Thomas Ravenel slams Patricia Altschul as “disgusting sc$m” who lies. Of course this involves Kathryn. Speaking of Kathryn… Finally, today we separate fact from fiction in the she said, she said friendship fallout of Porsha and Shamea, which friendships are next to be fractured and why real friends never last when it comes to the Real Housewives Franchise. @promescent @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROMESCENT - promescent.com/velvet (Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) BOLL & BRANCH - bollandbranch.com/velvetrope (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) MINT MOBILE- mintmobile.com/velvetrope (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Streaming Now 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.

Lisa Vanderpump has two shows on TV now - Vanderpump Villa and The Valley - and another on the way - Vanderpump Rules 2.0 - but has the allure behind the pink curtain of Villa Rosa lost its allure? We break down all three shows and deep dive the theory of LVP returning to RHOBH that may not be as insane as it once sounded, despite Lisa’s many claims of pigs flying and the sort. Meanwhile, Kristen Doute emerges as the true winner of The Valley. Stassi and Beau try to “work it out”. Jax and Brittany reveal more demons by the day. Finally, Jesse, Janet and the gang all jockey for air time as good news and bad news emerge for the cast as this season of The Valley chugs along.

As usual Teresa Giudice has listened to our Pod, is not happy with us, and in an unusual turn of events, has responded. Teresa is busy spreading some half truths regarding her future with Bravo, her interest - or lack thereof - in joining Bravo’s upcoming Wife Swap, her excitement - or lack thereof - in The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI), Andy Cohen’s comments that RHORI is about a group of Italian Americans which will give RHONJ a run for its money and oh, so very much more. Gia Giudice uses Auntie Mel and Uncle Joey for clicks as she prepares for her “very own” “Next Gen”. Last, but certainly not least, Sonja Morgan cries out for help for a second time in under a week as she is almost arrested - allegedly - for trespassing, labeled "persona non grata" in a second state - Florida - to add to her NYC “unwanted” moniker, is carted away in an ambulance which was almost a police car and has a message for everyone which is broken down, discussed and analyzed to the core herein today! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle Richards has received some heartbreaking news over the past week as the RHOBH new season cast announcement is expected to drop any day now. Jax has realized he is not meant to be in a relationship, to nobody’s surprise, and Brittany seems to be loving the drama of this season on The Valley just a little bit too much. Gizelle’s children have a message for Eminem as RHOP’s new season celebrates with a Birthday party for Karen Huger despite the fact that she is in jail. New facts emerge in Teresa's new joint biz venture which seem shady, at best. Last, but certainly not least, a year ago our very own Miss Fraser went viral after giving a scathing, albeit, honest, review of Something About Her on opening day.

A hysterical Sonja Morgan is blacklisted from a NYC hotspot after refusing to pay a $1,000 bill she thought was comped. The more things change, the more they stay the same with certain housewives who are broke, entitled and, for lack of a better word, arrogant. Thinking one is a celebrity when they are not… In other news, Andy Cohen doubles down on how The Real Housewives of Rhode Island - RHORI - is a group of tight knit Italian American women in a coastal town who live a certain lifestyle. In other words, a replacement for the once wildly popular RHONJ. Finally, RHONJ casting notices surface but all is not as it seems. Teresa makes changes in her “inner circle” and “organization” and remains, for many reasons, in denial about her TV future. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

With Dorit having now formally filed for divorce from her husband of over ten years, PK, we cannot help but wonder, what next? Today we get answers to the many questions we have surrounding PK and Dorit’s divorce. How does Dorit really feel about PK’s very public kiss? What is going to happen to Dorit’s motion for sole custody of the kids and what motivated that request? Meanwhile, heading south, Katie Ginella skipped the RHOC cast trip due to an epic rumored feud with Emily Simpson. We discuss what we know about this feud, the real reasons why she was absent from the trip and how this will affect her and Emily’s RHOC future. Finally, Meredith Marks speaks out on her suspension but, based on her own words that she used, did she just “out herself” to what really happened and went down. Shocking details arise regarding Ms. Mark’s suspension as this currently filming season of RHOSLC prepares to finish with a bang. @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) THRIVE MARKET - thrivemarket.com/velvetrope (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - piquelife.com/velvet (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - Redrazz.org (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) SELFUP - selfup.com (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) 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.

Lisa Vanderpump, and her VanderWorld, are once again dominating our screens and causing drama off screen of epic proportions. Vanderpump Villa has dropped, with Stassi, a few weeks ago and the verdict is in. There is some good news and some not so good news for Stassi, Beau and LVP. Meanwhile, Paige DeSorbo has morphed into the new Ariana Madix as both Summer House and Southern Charm call out for help in need of a major next season overhaul.

Bravo announced four new shows which are being added to its line up. Glaringly absent from the full list of their returning shows, in addition to these new shows, was RHONY and RHONJ. Despite all the fake news, tabloid fodder, network chatter, blogger speculation and cast statements, we break down exactly what is going on with RHONY and RHONJ, the likelihood either will be back ever and which cast members will be most affected by this. Next, we discuss the new cast for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, why this franchise will effectively replace RHONJ and when we can expect this new franchise to actually appear on our Bravo screens. Finally, we discuss the remaining new shows - Shahs Valley Style, Ladies of London and Wife Swap and explain what these shows mean for Teresa Giudice’s future on Bravo and why things are looking very good for Melissa and Joe Gorga and their new upcoming Bravo show. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

With many of the current Real Housewives franchises past their prime, it is uncertain if more franchises are actually needed. That said, more tea is spilled about the rumored upcoming Real Housewives of Chicago and Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Morgan and Kyle make moves to “come out” despite the possible longevity of this relationship as Kyle’s role in Garcelle’s exit is exposed. Jax Taylor is in trouble as he loses real world business due to his behavior on The Valley. Also, Morgan may not be as innocent as people originally thought. Finally, we break down our worst Housewife interviews of all time as well as current and past feuds with other Podcasts, Housewives and Ex-Housewives.

The RHOC cast trip to Amsterdam has come and gone and the season has wrapped with tons of tea spilling in terms of storylines, feuds and the return of Gretchen. In other news, after Andy Cohen’s night out with the Summer House boys, we cannot help but wonder if Summer House needs some serious fixing moving forward and offer some, albeit unsolicited, advice on how to fix this franchise. Tom Sandoval slams LVP as “not present” while Stassi’s return to Hulu in her own show stalls.

Cameras Up. For RHOP, that is. Cast changes, blasts from the past - Ashley talks Candace Dillard’s return, Gizelle’s “TJ” receipts and one, still jailed Grand Dame. Speaking of jail, Karen Huger is winning behind bars and running the place. More RHONY fake news arises. Luann shows us her game. Love Hotel is two episodes in with some good and not as good news. Finally, we plead our case to Luis Ruelas with something we never thought we would need help with and find that, now that we do, only Luis can be of service.

The RHOM trailer dropped last week to very mixed reactions. Alexia and Todd’s divorce. Tons of Marysol. Guedy vs. Julia. Julia vs. Adriana. Newbie Stephanie. Lisa’s “social climber” of a man and, of course, the Larsa of it all. Andy Cohen has a wild night out. Paige DeSorbo graduates from Summer House. Porsha Williams has a total, epic fail. Somehow, somewhere, Margaret Josephs has a laugh as Dolo, Tre and Fessler seem to be begging for a job. Good news for Dolo arises to her relief. Kyle Richards is sad for Garcelle but ignores Sutton.

Teresa Giudice just spent a wild weekend with Kelly Dodd but, with their new booming business together, there is more than meets the eye. Teresa also spent the weekend stripper style walking the runway, making live appearances, dealing with new financial setbacks and, apparently heading oversees to The Traitors castle. Speaking of The Traitors, we break down these rumors, some say self spread rumors, separating fact from fiction about Teresa’s star turn on The Traitors Season Four. Alan Cumming beware. RHOBH prepares for major casting changes next year which will possibly affect over half the cast. We break down who is on their way out, who will stay and when the official announcement from Bravo is expected. Finally, a little digging into PK’s new love reveals some shocking facts as Andy Cohen weighs in and we get to the bottom of their sordid past and just who this new Dorit look alike really is. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that Garcelle has exited the building, many famous actresses and past RHOBH cast mates keep getting mentioned as possible new faces / return faces to this franchise that is much in need of a makeover. Today we separate fact from fiction regarding these rumors and explain who is really truly short listed for when filming resumes later this year. Did someone say Crystal Kung Minkoff? Lisa Vanderpump is enjoying her reign on top as Vanderpump Villa and The Valley make moves and VPR 2.0 is well underway with a cast already making headlines behind the scenes. Julia Lemigova and Adriana de Moura break up as RHOM prepares to return - convenient. The Shahs of Sunset reboot gains traction - sorta. Last, but not least, Kyle Richards shares life updates that no one saw coming.

Another day, another interview with half truths, fabrications, playing dumb and legit outright lies from the TreHugger’s once queen Teresa Giudice. With all the RHOBH casting news circulating, a brand new Jax vs Sandoval feud we did not know we needed but are kinda living for, Angela Oakley’s insta iconic shade about lips that have miles on them, we have much better things to talk about. That said, Teresa has done a series of interviews claiming that what we have all witnessed with our very own eyes - court documents, past testimony and comments all over social by Juicy - never really happened. In other news, Tre has banned Heather McDonald and is about to ban Kelly Dodd due to newly discovered information - by us. Finally, legit RHONJ casting news has arisen with hints that Bravo may be closer to it’s dream cast than many initially thought thanks to new tactics, strategies and one aggressive campaign to fix this very broken franchise. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

RHOBH cast rumors continue to circulate with rumored firings, downgrades and one beloved "friend of” being asked to hand in her diamond and exit the building. Teresa is up to her old tricks with half truths, lies and not accurately remembering the past as it actually happened.

As the RHONJ pause continues on, one has to wonder if Bravo’s dilemma of choosing between Teresa and Melissa is solving itself due to Teresa and Luis’ latest financial problems. One also has to wonder if Bravo is secretly happy Teresa’s problems are mounting which would essentially make their decision for them as far as who will be returning, should the show actually ever come back, between the Table Flipper and her Sister In Law. Kathy Wakile accuses Melissa Gorga of lying, reveals her new message for Teresa and talks about returning to RHONJ.

As predicted, now that RHOBH Season 14 has ended and contracts are out for Season 15, Dorit has announced that she has hired a top, no nonsense, shark of an attorney to represent her in what is about to be a nasty, bitter all out divorce. PK is caught kissing Ryan Seacrest’s ex. Or is he? The paparazzi sure seem to be on hand for divorce filings, kisses, no make up or glam school pick ups and drops offs, not to mention the now infamous “social distancing” pics from yesterday at Jagger’s baseball game.

Brittany is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Jesse and Michelle go to new lows to hurt each other, Janet becomes more manipulative by the hour and last, but certainly not least, Kristen Doute reigns supreme as one of the best Reality TV humans ever. Garcelle takes back her narrative and has the last laugh with Sutton. Boz slams Garcelle. LVP slams Adrienne Maloof. Erika is on the verge of announcing her RHOBH exit. Jenn Fessler spreads fake RHONJ news and so much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

New details about Kyle and Morgan arise from the past revealing new facts about the timeline of their relationship and exactly what Mauricio, Dorit and others really knew. Andy Cohen shows his double standard regarding Kyle and other Real Housewives he considers “worthy”. RHOBH looks ahead to Season 15 with various well known celebs being considered for Garcelle’s open slot. Luis Ruelas continues his influencer program on TikTok as many join, but for all the right reasons? Brit Eady and Angela Oakley get into it, Kenya prepares to drop receipts and this return to form season of RHOA moves on.

Jax Taylor seems to wanna talk and talk and talk - to the press that is - now that The Valley has returned and one revelation is more shocking than the next. Kristen Doute is validated, vindicated and hailed as the Queen she always knew she was. Denise Richards chats the future of her show, Charlie Sheen and RHOBH. RHONJ, RHONY and RHOP remain on pause. RHOC and RHOSLC continue to film as the tea from both spilt over. RHOM prepares to return and for those who often ask, no, RHODub ain’t coming back. Ciara and Jesse grow closer but will West give his blessing? Bronwyn Newport, or whatever her real name is, is accused, again, of identity fraud and other serious crimes, but does she even care? Finally, Kyle Richards has a run in with the dogs, acts tough and scared at the same time, comes out again and last, but not least, reminds us that she will be revealing nothing about Morgan, Mo or anything else she considers sacred in her life.

The Valley is back and the drama is real both on and off air. Jax is jaxing as only Jax can. Jax slams LVP, ignores the cast except for Brittany and Kristen, declares he wants to be selfish, slams Lala and Scheana, praises Schwartzy and offers unsolicited advice to the new cast of Vanderpump Rules which began filming last week. Speaking of VPR, Schwartzy and Sandy break up. The tension between Porsha and Kenya heats up as newbies Brit and Kelli weigh in as new info is being released by the day. Ramona Singer reminds us why she is The Singer Stinger. Leaks and tea spills out from the currently filming RHOSLC Season Six. Alexis Bellino acts rude, Erika Jayne uses excuses in court and Dorit and PK actually share a bit of good news which they both seem to need. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MY LIFE IN A BOOK - mylifeinabook.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off To Create a Unique Gift For Mother’s Day) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) 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.

Gia Giudice keeps clapping back at herself in a non existent fight with Bethenny who seems too preoccupied in relocating to Florida - for all the obvious reasons - to even give a shiz. Of course, none of this will be on Next Gen but a group of randomly thrown together friends living in NYC is set to hit our Bravo screens this summer. Rumors and nastiness hit the RHOSLC streets last week as chatter about Meredith Marks being suspended from, and/or walking off filming for the upcoming RHOSLC Season 6 arose. We break down those rumors, reveal what caused them, separate fact from fiction and discuss just who - Mary, Lisa, Whit, Heather, Angie, Bronwyn, Britani - was involved in Meredith’s rumored stage five meltdown. Finally, Dolores Catania weighs in on a lot of RHOBH drama which has, at best, very little to do with her. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) MY LIFE IN A BOOK - mylifeinabook.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off To Create a Unique Gift For Mother’s Day) 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) 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.

From his early days of working with Robin Williams on Mrs. Doubtfire and Steve Martin on Planes, Trains & Automobiles to his current day gig of working with brothers Joey and Andrew on their Brotherly Love Pod, Matthew chats about the full anthology of his career and more. Of course we talk Boy Meets World, girlfriends past and present, TLC and Chilli, the pitfalls of being a child actor and just what is next for this 90s breakout who just refuses to slow down. @matthewlawrence @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) MY LIFE IN A BOOK - mylifeinabook.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off To Create a Unique Gift For Mother’s Day) 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) 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.

Jeff Lewis and Gage Edward, all these years later, still have their good days and many bad days. It is hard to even imagine these two were once a happy couple. Kinda and not really. With Kyle and Mo and Dorit and PK most likely headed to their attorney’s offices -coming next season on RHOBH - we look at all the marriages that did not survive Reality TV and why. The Lisa’s Rinna and Vanderpump are somewhere smiling large. Speaking of next season of RHOBH, now that Garcelle has exited the building, it is time to review Hollywood’s top contenders for her position and break down what we can expect next season on RHOBH. Finally, we address the current state of Real Housewives - with just RHOA on our screens, why Bravo is slowing down and notably spacing out the franchises and whether the hey day, golden age of Housewife shocking moments is officially over and forever a thing of the past. @patriksimpson @polatteu @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WARBY PARKER - www.warbyparker.com/velvet (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) MY LIFE IN A BOOK - mylifeinabook.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off To Create a Unique Gift For Mother’s Day) 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) 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.

Brynn Whitfield claims she made seven figures last year, is a marketing genius that none of us - or her other RHONY castmates - truly understand and shares a few choice words for Mr. Jeff Lewis. Sonja Morgan 2.0 is alive and well. Rumors of Gretchen’s RHOC storyline from the upcoming Season 19 surface, including possible secrets and demons from the past. Teresa Giudice emerges with a strange never to be expected ally. Speaking of Teresa, Jax Taylor has some advice for Tre, or at least some advice that she should seriously listen to and take. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Shep Rose and Craig Conover step Behind The Rope. The Southern Charm boys are here to mention it all. They talk highs and lows of the many seasons they have been a part of as OGs of Southern Charm, relationships and exes - Taylor Ann Green and Paige DeSorbo, cast mates past and present and what being on a Bravo reality show with no shortage of drama is really like. With Southern Charm Season 10 now a thing of the very distant past, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with Shep and Craig. Did Paige ever really like Craig?

RHOBH Season 14. That’s a wrap and Part Three of the reunion did not disappoint. Sutton worked hard to repair her friendship with Kyle, Erika and, gasp, maybe even Dorit. Everyone except Garcelle, that is. Andy Cohen outed Kyle - again - and, even though he cannot wait to see where her life journey leads her, one thing is for sure. We will not see that journey next season as it relates to Morgan Wade, infidenlity rumors surrounding Mo or the ultimate dissolution of her marriage. In other words, nothing has changed. Jennifer Tilly and Boz share first season revelations and changes. Kathy tries to offer support to Kyle but she is not feeling it. Oh yea, if you haven’t heard Garcelle has walked out, quit, and exited the building like only Lisa Rinna wishes she could have. There is a lot to say about Garcelle’s exit with mixed feelings, mixed reactions and mixed emotions all of which are broken down here today. The real final straws that led to Garcelle’s exit will be discussed as it is time to get real separating fact from fiction. In other news, The Valley premieres, Kristen Doute is vindicated, Jesse and Michelle emerge as messy AF, Jax jaxes and cast leaks for RHOBH Season 15 emerge. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Teresa and Gia Giudice have gone back and forth with Bethenny Frankel over the past few days regarding the status of Teresa’s marriage to Luis. Or have they? Gabriella Giudice saw Luis holding hands with another woman and is disgusted with her Mom’s marriage. Or is she?

Physical altercations we have never heard of, nasty behind the scenes housewives we would never expect to be mean and, oh yea, who on RHOBH has been naughty and who has been nice. You name it, this former Producer mentions it all. Erika Jayne has returned to her old ways as her several year long redemption arc may be in jeopardy next season in what many predict will be a return to form “hard” season for the songstress. Cynthia Bailey is no longer speaking to Kenya Moore, but all is not as meets the eye. LVP shades the OG VPR kids and talks VPR 2.0, Kennedy, Lala, Katie and more. RHOM prepares to return, some of our fav Housewives check into the Love Hotel, and last, but not least, Denise Richards’ freshman season of her reality show ends as she opens up on where she stands with Lisa Rinna. @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) CORNBREAD - cornbreadhemp.com/velvet (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) 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) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) 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.

Rumors arise again about Kathy Wakile’s potential return to RHONJ as she is seem again with Margaret Josephs. Teresa continues to prepare for her own RHONJ return. Shamea and Porsha have fallen out and their once very close friendship is not what it once was prior to Shamea’s peach. Kandi Burruss weighs in, Kenya exits and this stellar season of RHOA continues. Adrienne Maloof appears on the BH scene but is not quite ready to return to RHOBH, not that she ever will be.

Teresa drops a new video with a new message for Melissa and Joe. Of course, Luis chimes in.

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.

Now that Garcelle has handed back her diamond, or had it revoked, depending how you look at it, RHOBH Producers look ahead to next season with some interesting external casting options, scramble to mend existing cast fences and plant seeds amongst our remaining favs that foreshadow new feuds a brewin’. Southern Charm may be over but Craig and Paige still cannot stop talking about each other. Leva, to no ones surprise, exits SC but reigns supreme as next season of Southern Hospitality is so bright she may have to wear shades. Teddi Mellencamp has not heard from Dorit (sorta) or Garcelle since her many unfortunate health updates over the past few months but she has heard from Vicki Gunvalson. Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s other ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, feud over “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things”, Lisa Rinna cannot stop talking RHOBH these days and The Valley, Love Hotel, Vanderpump Villa and RHOM arrive and / or gear up to grace our TV screens over the next few months. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Candace talks about what it was like to be a child actor on a hit TV show for 8 stellar seasons on Full House. She talks cast mates - Bob, John, Dave, Jodie, Mary Kate and Ashley, Lori, Andrea and what it was like to reprise her role as DJ Tanner decades later on Fuller House.

She chats her third place finish in DWTS, shares her thoughts on the Real Housewives, if she would ever join RHOBH and whether there will ever be another incarnation of Full House.

Dr. Jenn Mann steps back Behind The Rope. Fresh off her appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as Erika Jayne’s therapist, Dr. Jenn stops by to, as we like to say, mention it all. Dr. Jenn helps us make sense of many of the ever changing relationships on RHOBH - Kyle and Mo, Dorit and PK, all the single ladies and more. Dr. Jenn provides great advice to some of our fav Bravo couples like Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas, discusses what qualifies as valid red flags and when it is time to run from your current partner based on all the warning signs. Dr. Jenn also weighs in on family dynamics offering advice on what to do when your family just does not see eye to eye, or, even speak to each other anymore like Teresa and Melissa / Joe. Dr. Jenn discusses girl code a la Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino and the challenges of staying together on Reality TV. Finally, Dr. Jenn explains why Erika Jayne is a dream client and just how far she has come from only a few years ago when the entire world judged her and had written her off. @drjennmann @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

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.

Shuga Cain steps Behind The Rope. Shuga is here to discuss it all! Of course, all includes RuPaul’s Drag Race and Shuga’s Season Eleven contribution to the brilliant show. Shuga takes us down the road of her journey from quitting a six figure a year job, to performing nightly in the legendary New York City nightlife club scene with the likes of Bob The Drag Queen to eventually applying and being chosen for Drag Race. With all the drama so far this season on RHOA, RHOBH, Summer House and more, we figured today the perfect day to share something fun in this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Shuga Cain. Shuga opens up about the positives and negatives of Drag Race, the judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews as well as RuPaul herself. Shuga breaks down the best and hardest parts of Drag Race and lifts the curtain for a look into what filming the hit TV show is really like. We also chat about guest judges Miley Cyrus, Adam Rippon and last, but certainly not least, The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss. @missshugacain @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) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) 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.

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.

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.

There continues to be so much said, written and hypothesized about Garcelle’s RHOBH exit that today, again, we separate the new facts from fiction. Truth from untruth. Erika continues to slam Garcelle as she faces her own legal setbacks. The audience slams Erika and we look ahead to Boz’ seemingly difficult season two. Will the current members of the Fox Force Five - Kyle, Dorit and Erika - turn on Boz next season? After all, they can only pick on Sutton for so long, no? In other news, Jeff Lewis reveals big life news and realizations as we deep dive the status of Flipping Out 2.0. Lisa Rinna has a new message for Andy Cohen, RHOM prepares to return in June, according to Marysol, and last, but certainly not least, new details about BravoCon 2025 are spilled. @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.

Now that the dust has settled from Teresa and Luis’ new financial and legal woes, we break down just how dire their situation really is or is not, discuss what Luis does to make a living and what the Giudice-Ruelas’ plan to do until a year from now when RHONJ maybe, possibly will start production on its next season. Jen Shah’s prison release date is moved up again which makes it very likely Ms. Shah will be back on RHOSLC before RHONJ returns to our airwaves. Bethenny Frankel reveals TMI regarding her dating life and offers advice, unsolicited, to the rest of us.

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 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.

Kyle stands tall still not wanting to share a lot of what is really going on behind the scenes. Love is in the air.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone’s fav Jeff Lewis Live Chumps, Patrik and Pol, are back. With the RHOC back and filming in full effect, there has been no shortage of reported drama surrounding the return of Gretchen Rossi who, along with Jennifer Pedranti, has come for Tamra Judge hard core. Tamra Judge is not one to go down without a fight and knows how to play this game better than almost anyone as one of the longest standing housewives, well, ever. Is she is? Is she out? Let us get to the bottom of it. Lala Kent says to leave Tom Sandoval alone and let him live. He may have been the brunt of the joke on The Traitors, but Lala demands peace for Mr. Sandoval as he tries to figure out the next move now that The Traitors is over. Erika Jayne emerges as RHOBH fan fav. Teresa Giudice and Tamra seem to still be fightin’. Last, but not least, with White Lotus based on Southern Charm, the chumps break them both down with incest, fake accents, break ups, make ups, friendship fall outs and much more. @patriksimpson @polatteu @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 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.

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.

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.

Who is speaking to who, who is divorcing who, what is the status of this season long RHOBH on again, off again and does anyone still care. Kyle keeps talking about almost resigning from RHOBH that we wonder if it is time for her to hand in her diamond, even if just for a season. Patrik and Pol talk Chump viruses, chump break ups and chump make ups. Gretchen Rossi returns to the OC and we break down what this really truly means for Gretchen, Slade, Tamra, and the rest of the cast.

This is the true story…of seven strangers…picked to live in a house…(work together) and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting real… On that note, Andre Comeau from the original grandaddy of them all, The Real World: New York, steps Behind The Rope. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. With no predecessor to look to, we discuss how this makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. With so many new Bravo shows being announced, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat about the show that started it all. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a multigenerational blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Eric, Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, and Becky and the groundbreaking issues they dealt with way ahead of “their time” such as racism, sexuality, The AIDS crisis and more.

From Karen Huger’s last words to Ray in the courtroom as she was escorted to jail to her cast mates - Gizelle, Wendy, Ashley and more - speaking out on the sentencing, Karen Huger has had quite a past two weeks. RHOP has a slot open and seems to be wasting no time in discussing the necessary cast changes to move forward with this franchise. Is anyone shocked the show is moving forward and not waiting for The Grand Dame the way they did Ms. Giudice across the river over there in the dirty jerz? Bravo get sued again by former “employees”, Kyle and Mauricio prepare for their looming unavoidable divorce and Dorit causes more drama with RHOBH cast members this week than even before.

Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case. After the sentence and calling out to Ray in the courtroom, she was immediately taken to Montgomery County Jail. But what now? We discuss how Karen got here, what she has or has not learned, so far, from this conviction and sentencing, what she will learn in jail and whether Bravo will welcome her with open arms or turn their back on her once she is done with her sentence two long years from now. Sutton Stracke doubles down on her fat wallet comment to Dorit. Erika Jayne continues to doll out sage advice. Mia Thornton continues her half truths even post reunion. Last, but not least, Summer House and Southern Hospitality continue to dominate Bravo ratings as Housewife fatigue for the audience does not seem to be ending anytime soon. @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) CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) 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.

Summer House and Southern Hospitality are bringing it for Bravo with huge ratings over one million per episode, season highs and drama that has us all glued to out TVs. Have these two shows have become the new Vanderpump Rules that are saving the viewers from Housewives fatigue? TJ and Joe Bradley’s did they or didn’t they, Ciara put the fear of fu$K into West, Lindsay’s single girl pregnant summer that Carl only wishes he can be a part of, Craig and Paige’s unraveling, references to Luann de Lesseps - the drama is real and non-stop. Denise Richards has a new reality show, The Baldwins have a new reality show and the future of RHONY remains as uncertain as RHONJ but no one seems to care. Will this once beloved franchise just fade into history along with the Real Housewives of Dallas or make a triumphant return with a star studded cast? We’ve got your answers.

Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case. After the sentence and calling out to Ray in the courtroom, she was immediately taken to Montgomery County Jail. Psychic Robbin stops by today to shed light on what Karen is going through behind bars emotionally, mentally and physically as she adjusts to her new digs, cellmates, work life, surroundings and reality for, at the very least, next year of her life.

In other news, Robbin talks whether Melissa or Teresa will return to RHONJ when the show returns in a year or two, what each is going through personally and financially without the show and whether it is likely either will be back on Bravo in a spin off series about their lives and family. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrop e (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) 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.

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. Psychic Robbin is here to break it all down and tell us what to expect in the next few months for all of our fav Bravolebs and Pop Culture Icons.

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.

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.

Jeff Lewis tries to get his new Bravo show off the ground as Shannon Beador announces she cannot return to Jeff Lewis Live leaving us all to wonder if Jeff is in hot water with the powers that be.

The RHONY Season 15 finale has come and gone with a bang.

Brynn broke her silence in an interview exclusive, Jenna claimed Brynn was dangerous on WWHL, the fans demanded she be terminated or the show cancelled and much more h$ll hath broken loose over the past few days in our one third home and fav city of them all. In other news, Andy Cohen weighs in on Lisa Vanderpump returning to RHOBH, The Traitors continues to reign supreme and Danielle Cabral makes major moves across the river in good ole’ RHONJ land.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 14, Episode 8. Kyle doth protest too much. The subject of Kyle’s texts to PK remains center stage as the ladies, minus EJ, rally around Dorit holding Kyle’s feet to the fire regarding these, some would say scandalous, texts to PK.

Erika remains torn between her two friends even though Dorit claims she is afraid of Kyle, Kyle walks out, Garcelle has an unlikely and unexpected moment and bond with Dorit, Jennifer Tilly learns about memes - welcome to 2025, Sutton refuses to bow down to the house of Kyle Richards, Kathy vacations and Boz tries to employ corporate practices to this dysfunctional group to no avail, hot chefs, massages and all. In other news, Teresa and Jackie reveal RHONJ producers are looking for new women for next season of RHONJ. We break down what this really means and why it does not mean the show is definitely coming back.

Jennifer Aydin slammed a Jersey Mike’s employee as “slow” and “old”, declared a fellow patron an “a**hole” and labeled herself a “f**cking celebrity” with a surgeon husband who can buy people ten times over. Earlier this week, we discussed exactly what happened and shared our thoughts on Miss Aydin’s behavior. Earlier this week, we also discussed the fall out as a result of Jen’s actions, lost opportunities and what Bravo PR, Andy Cohen, Danielle Cabral and others had to say to Miss Aydin. Today we finalize this discussion. Margaret Josephs has breaks her silence, discusses a recent run in with Jennifer and offers stern words of advice and warning to Ms. Aydin. Next week uncover other recent bad, entitled behavior by Jen and discuss why she is acting out in such a manner. Last, but certainly not least, we break down Jennifer’s recent interview, her claims of being a victim and needing an apology and where she goes, now that RHONJ is over, probably forever, and most likely forever for her, from here. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Teresa Giudice, Jen Shah, Shannon Beador, Karen Huger, Kenya Moore, James Kennedy, The Singer Stinger and more have all been arrested, convicted or accused of bad behavior over the past decades. Some have survived, some have been punished and some, such as Karen Huger, have futures that are, at best, uncertain. RHOP, RHOBH and RHOSLC prepare for all new episodes this coming week. 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. Finally, Melissa Gorga shares updates on her Sprinkle Cookie business, RHONJ “til 2026” pause and her sister-in-law Teresa. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Just raise your glasses high. This one's for you tonight. All good things must come to an end and, now, that includes Vanderpump Rules. First we react to the announcement that the OG cast of VPR will not be back and that Season 12 will include an entirely new cast except for Lisa Vanderpump. After we react and share our reactions, we break down just how we got here, explain the real reasons for the termination of the OG cast, explain whether this is, or is not, a shock and discuss why this was the only inevitable, viable option to move the show forward. We chat the winners and losers from this new normal, Schwartzy, Lala, Scheana and Brock’s upcoming stint on the Valley Season Two, how Jax, Stassi and Doute must feel and last, but certainly not least, what happens now to our beloved OG cast, one by one, as we all try to all move forward.

The RHOC cast has, collectively, won this stellar return to form Season 18 of the OG city of all the franchises. Shannon put Alexis in her place, Pedranti showed no fear, Katie brought the humor, not her cat, and clapped back any Durbow, Johnny J was present even though he wasn’t, Emily represented as the greek chorus and we, the audience, got a glimpse into the future of the show. We break down the future of each Orange Holder - some good news, some bad, and when we can expect to hear about Season 19 casting. In other news, RHONY has hit an all time new low with cast members begging the audience to “stick with them” after a prank gone awfully wrong. We break down just where the RHONY Reboot went awry, the original casts’ reaction and whether this franchise can come back from the life support that it is on. Finally, we chat some RHOP - this past week’s episode, how this franchise is better than it has been in years, the much different treatment of Miss Huger’s DUI from Shannon’s and much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Jennie also opens up about her much publicized exit, the public’s reaction and whether Bravo has a double standard for Housewives who are in “good favor” with the network. Recorded in a simpler time before Monica, Jennie held nothing back.

Jennie Nguyen steps Behind The Rope. Jennie is here to chat all about her experience as one of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Jennie talks highs and lows of being a Bravo RHOSLC Housewife, cast mates Lisa, Heather, Meredith, Whitney, Jen and Mary. Speaking of Mary, Jennie talks about why they just did not see eye to eye, the absence of closure due to Mary’s failure to attend the reunion and many of Mary’s controversial statements toward Jennie during their time together on the show. Jennie also opens up about her much publicized exit, the public’s reaction and whether Bravo has a double standard for Housewives who are in “good favor” with the network. 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.

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.

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.

Speaking of teams, with Gabriella here, the convo turns to RHONJ. We discuss Jennifer Aydin’s reaction and likely future once she finds out she is not returning to RHONJ, why TreStumps are still angry with Dolo, why Dolores would never “work” with Bloggers the way Tre and Aydin “allegedly” did, why Tre and Aydin have still not “learned”, what Teresa told her about her brother Joey Gorga, Andy Cohen’s true feelings about Joey G, when we are expected to hear about the future of RHONJ, who is most likely returning and what she has heard about casting and potential newbies.

Rumors arise that Teddi has been having an affair for a long time with her Horse Trainer and that it is well known in the equestrian community. Edwin lets the world know that he and Ms. Mellencamp have a pre-nup. Last, but not least, Teddi reveals she has been in pain for years and that none other than Kyle Richards has inspired her to finally break free. Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson dig into Katie Ginella’s past in a move that reminded us of Tre and Louie, Pedranti hits Simpson where it hurts and Tamra and Shannon attempt to reconcile, kinda, but not really. JT quits Southern Charm refusing to participate in press or any more green screen interviews. RHO Dubai is cancelled and The Huff Post slams the RHONY Reboot as a “total fail” causing us to wonder if the RHONY franchise is next. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with The OG of the OC so kick back, relax and enjoy this trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma, Slade Smiley’s infamous “pig” comment, her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van?

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!)

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.

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.

Jax is here for a nothing is off limits chat breaking down the full anthology of his time in the VanderVerse - the highs and lows of VPR, cast mates, and ultimate end. Jax clarifies the circumstances surrounding his and wife Brittany Cartwright’s exit, the many misconceptions about it, and the truth as to what actually happened. Jax also talks about the end of his friendship with Stassi, ups and downs of his relationship with Lisa Vanderpump and ins and outs of his bro Tom Sandoval. Recorded in a simpler, and some could argue more peaceful time, before “The Valley”, before his separation from Brittany, Jax talks about a new show he was trying to get off the ground about “Daddy Jax” set in the valley, discusses married life to Brittany and much more. They say hindsight is 20/20. Today we put that theory to the test by sharing this never before aired chat, uncovering easter eggs, foreshadowing and so much more.

Teddi Mellencamp announced her Divorce from Edwin Arroyave, her husband of thirteen years. 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.

The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps Behind The Rope. Vicki is here to chat about the full ride of her RHOC career - the ups and downs, good and bad and everything in between from her time on the show to life after being a full time RHOC Orange Holder. Vicki opens up about many of her much publicized relationships that we have seen and heard so much about on air and behind the scenes - Don, Brooks and Steve. Vicki discusses her many tumultuous relationships with RHOC co-stars Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino, Meghan King Edmonds (Did Brooks lie about cancer?), Jeana Keough and Heather Dubrow. Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma, Slade Smiley’s infamous “pig” comment, her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van? @vickigunvalson @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 Products) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) IRESTORE (Get 25% Off iRestore’s Illumina Face Mask with the code VELVET25 at https://bit.ly/4eMcFQK ) HEALTHY GUT SECRET - HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet (Watch This Video Right Here HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet and See Exactly How I Am Able To Stay In Shape) 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) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

There are so many rumors swirling in the VanderVerse about the future of VPR. Contract disputes, demands for money, the fact that Ariana has moved on both figuratively and literally - as her and Tom’s house goes up for sale and last, but certainly not least, a cast that is much divided with Lala not speaking to Ariana at all. We break down all these facts, discuss the likelihood VPR will return for a final season and address the rumors that the next gen of VanderKids is about to emerge in VPR 2.0. The Real Housewives of Dubai is green lit for Season 3, Caroline Brooks tells fans to F off and we, the BravoVerse, gasp in shock that this low rated franchise is returning. Of course, we have a few theories on that. Finally, we break down our recent run in with Lisa Rinna and discuss the return of RHOBH - trailer released and whether Rinna would, should and could return as a diamond holder one day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 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) BRANCH BASICS - branchbasics.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Your Entire Order Of These Non-Toxic, All-Natural Cleaning Products) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) IRESTORE (Get 25% Off iRestore’s Illumina Face Mask with the code VELVET25 at https://bit.ly/4eMcFQK ) HEALTHY GUT SECRET - HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet (Watch This Video Right Here HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet and See Exactly How I Am Able To Stay In Shape) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

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.

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.

Tamra Judge rocked the BravoVerse last week when she declared she was “on the spectrum”. We break down Tamra’s statement, analyze the validity of it, weigh in on the public outrage and discuss the claims that it was for sympathy, to excuse over a decade of RHOC bad behavior and / or for a story line next season, RHOC 19. Finally, we discuss the comments thereafter from Vicki, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and Heather McDonald.

Heather chats about how Housewives has changed during her run on the show from the early days of Bravo and cast mates past and present answering some of life’s most important questions as to who she wants back, who she would like to see gone and her very own future as we head into the RHOC reunion ready to close yet another epic season. We talk about Heather’s real life “run ins” and comments made throughout the years by Margaret Josephs, Tamra Judge, Teddi Mellencamp and “that other ex RHOC castmate” who we have a thing or two to say about also. With the many ups and downs between Shannon and Tamra this season, appearances by Vicki and many come to life moments by Emily and Gina, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Heather Dubrow. @heatherdubrow @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 Products) JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

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.

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 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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!!)

With so much going on this current season, we figured it the best time to sit down and chat with Elizabeth again. We break down all that has been happening this season - the return of Jesus Jugs, her engagement to Johnny J and the videotape of what really went down with Shannon that fateful night she crashed her car into a house. 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. Seeing as the OC is a small place where everyone seems to know everyone, Elizabeth brought friends with her who know more about what happened the night Shannon received her DUI, who have had past histories and run ins with Johnny J, who know our good friend - cue the sarcasm - ole Kelly Dodd and much, much more off screen drama, secrets and true boots on the RHOC in their backyard ground with the one and only Miss Elizabeth Vargas.

Margaret Josephs has come out swinging in support of her friend Tamra Judge. As the mounting calls for Tamra’s takedown, termination and legal action against her continue by viewers, the Housewife Community - Teresa, Jill Zarin, Vicki, Shannon, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and RHOC colleagues, Margaret details why she will not turn her back on her friend. Margaret explains why she thinks RHOC is bordering on RHONJ territory as we discuss whether the OC is the next franchise to go on pause, whether it has risen to the toxic level of RHONJ, what to expect at the upcoming RHOC soon to be filmed reunion and offer words of advice, along with both Marge and Melissa Gorga’s word of advice, to the RHOC cast on what to avoid moving forward.

The RHOC Cast past and present, Housewives from other franchises and Housewives community as a whole seem to be coming for Tamra Judge in full force threatening lawsuits, exposure of private information and urging Bravo to terminate this orange holder that seems to have ruffled almost everyone’s feathers this season. Kelly Dodd, Teresa, Vicki, Gretchen, Jim Bellino and many others have weighed in but we wonder, where is her new BFF Alexis Bellino’s support? RHONY returns for Season 15 and we break down the premiere discussing newbies, Scientology, good news and some now so good news. We discuss how and why this RHONY season is crucial for the future of Teresa, Melissa and RHONJ, recap this past week’s RHOSLC and explain why RHONJ is the last thing anyone at Bravo is thinking about. Finally, Joel Kim Booster slams Shannon as a horrific human he hopes suffers with a nod of sympathy for John Janssen as things over at Love Hotel seem to be heating up.

Recently we attended what we thought was a Boy George concert. The night turned into a Boy George concert plus a whole lot more which involved full back stage access and a night out with the one and only PK. We chat about our evening with PK and George, dispel many long standing mistruths about Paul Kemsley and, probably most important to y’all, discuss the tea spilled about Dorit and the upcoming season of RHOBH!! Some nights just turn out great. In other RHOBH news, David Foster and Katharine McPhee seem to be having marital issues, Erika Jayne looses her now infamous earnings forever and still faces legal troubles ahead from Marco Marco and last, but certainly not least, Kyle Richards is seen around town, once again, with no wedding ring.

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. Ahh Mary Ramona Singer Stinger Cosby is in the house. Angie K., still emotional over getting the center snowflake, shows up and shows out but Miss Barlow reminds us that it is way too late to change in your late 40s. Amen to that, no pun intended. Meredith gives us McSweeney, Leah vibes announcing her upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Seth is excited and the bath balm biz is off to the races. We smell a few fake storylines, have heard some off air rumors - and nastiness - and much more.

Finally, Jennifer shares a new message for Margaret Josephs as, surprise, surprise, the RHONJ pause remains in full effect with nothing expected to be discussed til early 2025, if that. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Kelly Dodd has come out this past week and claimed that Tamra Judge is the biggest bully and that although she can dish it out, she cannot take it? Say whaaat? We clap back on behalf of TamRat reminding Kelly that she herself is the biggest bully and that she definitely cannot take it after dishing it out. Oh, Miss Dodd. You are so silly. Speaking of Miss Judge, Tamra has a warning about the upcoming reunion for her castmates, fans and viewers and doubles down on the claim that she did nothing wrong this epic RHOC season. Heather Dubrow speaks out on John and Alexis, Alexis issues a shocking statement to and for viewers and we break it all down, make sense of it all and look ahead to the rest of this RHOC season as Andy Cohen gets ready to tape the reunion bringing to light all the unanswered questions of this RHOC season. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps back Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, her relationships and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses that cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow and much more.

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.

Louie Ruelas’ company, Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS), filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy last week. We break down the facts that led up to this declaration, discuss what this means for the business and where Mr. Ruelas goes from here. We next discuss Teresa - what she knew, if anything, her new goals in life and how she feels about this declaration of Bankruptcy, her husband and the public’s reaction. We discuss their marriage, is there a need for intervention and whether Margaret Josephs has been right all along. Next, we discuss and reveal every detail regarding the Tre Hugger bloggers who have bombarded the RHOBH cast past and present this week - Sutton, Erika, Kyle, Dorit, Teddi, Rinna, Garcelle, even Jennifer Tilly - trying to bring the toxicity of the RHONJ blog world to RHOBH which suggests that the toxic nature of RHONJ has not yet died down and the pause has changed nothing since last month’s finale. Finally, we discuss Teresa’s involvement in the RHONJ blogger community, whether she is aware of the recent RHOBH attack and whether this will affect her future multi million dollar job.

There is really only one main topic to break down today. After gathering all of the facts of she said, she said, we break down the epic war that seems to be getting worse by the day between Tamra and Vicki, no last names needed. Who could have ever predicted this? 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 MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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 Device) 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.

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.

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=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

Another day, another bunch of fake RHONJ rumors about Tre, Mel and the future of the show. In other RHONJ news, Teresa has a very stern new message for Frank Catania, shares shocking news about her brother Joe, urges for a certain past RHONJ to return and much more in a series of recent interviews. The fans react, share their thoughts and scream loud that they will not watch RHONJ if the Tre Huggers' Queen returns. Heading west, Emily Simpson shares what happened off air with Shannon and Alexis this season which was edited and not seen, John Janssen coming into Shannon’s life is possibly the best thing, in retrospect, that could have ever happened to her and a newly engaged Alexis and Johnny J continue to flaunt their love as fans, cast and Bravo execs react and weigh in everywhere. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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. 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. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (15% Off Plus a $44 Gift With Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) 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) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) 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) 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.

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. All this and more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. First things first, we chat with Elizabeth about her RHOC experience - the good, the bad, the other and what it is like to join the likes of Former Orange holder Peggy Sulahian and many others from various cities as part of the “One Season Wonder” Club. We address many fans’ criticism of her ill fated Season 15 as “the worst in Housewives History” and break down exactly where and why it all went off the rails. Elizabeth discusses her RHOC cast mates Emily, Gina, Shannon and last but certainly not least, Kelly Dodd. Elizabeth also chats Orange Holders - Megan King, Gretchen Rossi, Jesus Juggs Bellino, Gina Keough, Lynne Curtin, Heather Dubrow, Miss Victoria Gunvalson and Tamra. Finally, Elizabeth addresses the many misconceptions she feels viewers have about her, how she would like to be remembered from her one season, and much more as we share this blast from the past chat to celebrate this return to form great season of RHOC! @elizabethlynvargas @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Any Tasker For Any Task) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) 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) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) 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 Device) 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.

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 Part One 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. #enjoy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Andy Cohen slams Bethenny Frankel and defends Carole Radziwill in a strange turn of events we never thought we would see. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler part ways for good, Jennifer Aydin slams Bravo for their double standard - her words, not ours and Gia takes a larger role in the potential future of RHONJ. Lala and Scheana film The Valley, LVP heads to Vegas, Something About Her spin off rumors emerge and we ask, what about the Toms?

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!

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.

Chris Kattan steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Saturday Night Live himself is here to talk about it all from early days at The Groundlings with Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri. Chris chats going from the master class, The Groundlings, to the big league, SNL. Chris breaks down many of his iconic SNL characters - Mr. Peepers, Mango, and one half of the Butabi Brothers, which ultimately led to the iconic film, “A Night at the Roxbury”. Chris chats sequels and reboots with Will and Jim Carey, working with guest stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande and his many impressions throughout the years. Of course, we deep dive into Chris’ time in the Celebrity Big Brother House - roommates in the form of Cynthia Bailey, Carson Kressley and Lamar Odom as well as his decision to leave the game early. Finally, Chris discusses cancel culture, Roseanne Barr and his new podcast “Idiotically Speaking” which you can check out wherever podcasts are found.

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.

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. With this stellar season 18 of RHOC underway, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Fernanda Rocha. @fernandarochafitness @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HERS- forhers.com/velvet (For Your Personalized Weight Loss Treatment Options) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - 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) TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Visit One of Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 1400+ Locations or Order Online or Through Their App Their Summer Mocktail Smoothies) 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 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.

With Real Housewife Franchises on the decline, Bravo turns to past housewives and similar concepts with new shows green lit or in development to be pitched. From The Housewife Dating show with Luann, Giselle, Ashley and Shannon to Dorinda’s Blue Stone Manor Vanderpump Villa concept, Snowbirds which might as well be called Palm Beach Housewives and more, we break down all the new shows and concepts that are in the mix at Bravo. Next, we address the rumors that Reality Von Tease will be back on RHOSLC, share new tea about the future of Vanderpump Rules and give updates on Ariana and Lala’s fall out. Finally, we chat this season of RHOC - Tamra’s biggest lie, Vicki’s awkward return. Newbie Katie’s attempt to make her mark, Alexis Bellino’s transformation to “fun Lexi”, Archie Beador’s role, Shannon’s ability to face her problems head on without facing them at all and much, much more. @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) 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) 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) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) 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) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

With RHONJ Season 13 a distant memory, or at least a thing of the past, Louie Ruelas continues to make statements, claims and everything and anything in between as we try to forget the epic fail that was RHONJ Season 14. In other news, RHOBH is on fire. Garcelle reveals we may be preparing for the Bit$h season of Dorit Kemsley, Kyle’s cast mates are over her, Jennifer Tilley compares the RHOBH master class to working with Scorsese, Sutton brings the heat, Kathy is in rare form and so much more as we wind down filming and prepare for our fav diamond holders to return to our screens later this year.

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. Spilling more tea that we have never heard before, Melissa’s Old Nose addresses rumors she is paid by Marge, explains how she still knows so much about Tre and which other franchise she expects to work for now that RHONJ is over for a very long, if not indefinite, time. @rhonjteabee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 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) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) 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) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com ( Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

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.

Then we discuss the public’s reaction to the statement, the effect, if any, the statement has had, Melissa Gorga’s response to the statement and Rachel Fuda’s response to the statement.

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.

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.

One of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Executive Producers from the early days, Dorothy Toran, steps Behind The Rope. Dorothy was there when Teresa got out of jail.

You know how there were rumors that Margaret was close to certain Producers, allegedly, well…. So much of this chat foreshadows where we are today with a mess of a season, the toxicity worse than ever and an RHONJ Season 14 cast that is about to be disassembled in a few short weeks.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8. The physical altercation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has finally arrived. We break down the hair drama and other facts that led up to the altercation, break down a play by play and discuss who we think is to blame for this mess of a Troubled Tulum party. We discuss Tre’s claims that she is using Jackie to take down Marge, Rachel Fuda’s claims that Jackie is the laughing stock of Bravo, Dolores’ savage breakup with Jackie and Margaret enjoying it all just a little too much. We discuss the seemingly double standard as Jen and Danielle returned to work after suspension but Kenya Moore is not allowed to return to RHOA. Finally, we discuss an RHONJ without Melissa and Joe, Melissa’s claims of wanting to make up with Kathy Wakile, real life fall outs with Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs and much much more as we are joined by the one and only Andrea Lopez as Teresa Giudice! @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 6. It is official. We are at the half way mark and Teresa and Louie have finally sat down with Rachel and John Fuda. Apologies, rejections of apologies, name calling and another epic storm out but this wouldn’t be RHONJ without a good table flip or walk out. We break down the episode - Dolo wants a ring, Cabral heads to Fashion Week, Marge the Sarge does charity work, Messy G lays low, Fessler and Aydin have fun and sip margs, Jackie and Tre grow closer and much, much more. Our favorite guest, Teresa Giudice, as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all this drama and all that has been going on behind the scenes off air in the dirty jerz. After that, for all you wonderful Patreons who have been asking, yes, as a huge thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin we share our live show from the other week where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth. Of course the REAL reason for past RHONJ friendship breakups was the top question we received and yea, it was time to set the record straight. #enjoy @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Jackie Tohn steps Behind The Rope. Best known for her breakout performance as Melanie “Melrose” Rosen on Netflix’s award winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece “Glow”, Jackie stops by to share it all. Early in her career Jackie appeared on many of our favorite shows such as “The Sopranos”, “Veronica Mars”, “Strangers With Candy”, not the least of which was “The Nanny”, in which she played a young Fran Drescher. She talks famous friends such as Kristen Bell and Jessica Biel, comedic inspiration Joan Rivers and appearing on the iconic Howard Stern Show. Jackie also chats about her singing abilities, those abilities which led her to the semi finals on “American Idol” and Bravo’s very own “Platinum Hit” (Kara DioGuardi, we see you!). Jackie shares stories from behind the scenes on Glow, chats about the disappointment when Season 4 was indefinitely shelved due to lockdown and hints at what the future holds for the un-filmed season and possible Glow movie (what a wish!). We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jackie Tohn. @jackietohn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 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) TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Kick off your summer on May 29th for National Flip Flop Day® with a FREE 12 oz.

With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener.

Jackie Beard Robinson steps Behind The Rope. Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC. Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more. We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other.

Dorit and PK have announced their separation. We break down their statement, the shock or lack thereof heard around the BravoVerse, how long they have really been having problems, the likelihood this announcement was motivated only and solely in response to Producers’ rumored ultimatum to Dorit, how this has secured Dorit’s diamond for Season 14 and what we expect to see when RHOBH returns to our Bravo screens later this year. In other RHOBH news, filming has begun, we discuss likely storylines for the other RHOBH cast members and share an update on whether we can expect to see Morgan Wade next season in Bev Hills. Next, we deep dive Andy Cohen’s recent interview where he has responded to Leah McSweeney, Brandi Glanville, Eboni K. Williams and Bethenny Frankel’s claims against Bravo, reveals the true status of his relationship with John Mayer and which Housewives are the "ultimate standard”. Finally, Bravo announces new shows, renewed shows and why they will be standing by Andy Cohen after conducting an internal investigation which, shocker, has found nothing. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

This explosive season of Vanderpump Rules has ended with a bang. Lala slams Ariana, Tom attempts to make peace with Ariana by speaking directly to her and new BF Daniel, Scheana struggles with forgiving Tom while still remaining loyal to Ariana, Jo is bullied and everything comes to a head in the much expected Tom Sandoval redemption season. As Schwartzy said, "plot twist", or is it? The VPR after shows were even messier with Lala doubling down, Kristen and Brittney weighing in and the name of Beyonce being taken in vain. Finally, we address the rumors that Kyle and Dorit do not want to film with each other next RHOBH season, the effect - if any - that will have on their ability to hold a diamond and the party Sutton is having this weekend because filming has…begun! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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, 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 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.

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 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.)

She chats about ANTM judges Miss J, Nigel Barker, Twiggy and last, but certainly not least, Janice Dickinson as well as about Creative Director Jay Manuel. Lisa confirms and debunks many of the vicious rumors heard over the years about the tension on the set and the “my way or the highway” rumored attitude of Tyra Banks. Leaving no detailed spared, Lisa explains how she felt she was treated by Tyra and Producers, the good, the bad, the other. There was a lot of bad and a lot of other. We discuss! Of course there was also her product pitch on Shark Tank, where she got a deal with the one and only Miss Barbara Corcoran. She takes us behind the scenes of Shark Tank and all the shenanigans taking place behind the scenes off camera. @lisa_damato @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GOHENRY - gohenry.com/VELVET (Set Your Kids Up For Success w/ The Best Debit Card & Financial App For Kids 6 to 18) HELLOFRESH - HelloFresh.com/velvetropefree (Use Code velvetropefree For Free Breakfast For Life on America’s #1 Meal Kit) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) 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 Journey Today) JONES NATURAL CHEWS (Best Natural Treats For Your Dog - Available At a Pet Store Near You) 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.

Linda Gray steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Sue Ellen Ewing in the flesh! Linda is here to chat about the full anthology of her career and what it was like to be part of one of the most Iconic shows of all time, Dallas. Linda reminisces about being cast, the early days on set with co-stars such as Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Charlene Tilton and Victoria Principal - to name a few, the highs and lows of Sue Ellen, best and worst storylines for the character, playing drunk and how life changed as a result of Dallas. Linda opens up about leaving the show after twelve seasons, returning for the series finale, being a fan favorite, life after Dallas and the positives and negatives of playing one character for so long. Linda also opens up about her life long friendships with Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy, 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 fav show of ours Linda starred in, Models Inc. Linda chats working on an Aaron Spelling show, playing Heather Locklear’s mother and working with both RHOBH’s Garcelle Beauvais in one of her first full time acting gigs and a then unknown pre-Matrix Carrie-Anne Moss.

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 Journey Today) WONDERY: EVEN THE ROYALS (You Can Binge Even the Royals Ad-Free Right Now on Wondery Plus) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) JONES NATURAL CHEWS (Best Natural Treats For Your Dog - Available At a Pet Store Near You) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson, otherwise know as Alex M, returns. Yup, Laguna Beach. One of the granddaddy’s of them all, or as we like to say, one of the best reality shows to ever exist. 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. Alex discusses just how much reality TV has changed since the early days of MTV. Finally, we answer the age old question, just how “real” was Laguna Beach / The Hills.

We explain why each of our choices made the list and count down from ten to one with some current goss thrown in.

This year though there is double the trouble as our reg weekly co-host joins us to share her Top Ten List also as we fight it out to see who will take the top coveted spot.

Merry Xmas. Today is the perfect day for a fun, all out chat with the one and only Miss Lady Bunny. Yes, THAT Lady Bunny. Drag Queen Extraordinaire, NYC Nightlife Legend, Friend to RuPaul, Lady Bunny. From her humble beginnings in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to her early days of Drag alongside RuPaul in Atlanta, Georgia, to her arrival on the New York City Club scene in the 1980s, Lady Bunny is here to tell it all. Lady Bunny discusses what the NYC “Club Kid” scene was like back in the day and how that scene was rocked when infamous Club Kid Michael Alig, with the help of his roommate, high on drugs, killed fellow Club Kid “Angel” Melendez and disposed of the body in the east river after bragging about the murder for days to anyone that would listen. Lady Bunny is also happy to discuss BFF RuPaul, BFF Andy Cohen, what each are like off camera, the evolution of WWHL, Real Housewives, Andy and more. Finally, we discuss how, when, where and why Lady Bunny founded the world renowned Wigstock, the juggernaut that it has become, the several blockbuster films it has spawned, and the involvement of “A” list celebrities such as Neil Patrick Harris.

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. Has she learned nothing from The VanderKids now that Season Eleven is about to return with every cast member, including Ariana, having filmed scenes with Tom Sandoval? Ramona Singer crashed the RHONY RHUGT party and does not seem to give one fu$k. 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.

RHOBH Dinner Party from Hell. No, not that Dinner Party from Hell from Season One with our very good friend Allison DuBois. The past two weeks’ Dinner Party from Hell. We did what only we could think of doing and invited the original star and center of the first ever Dinner Party From Hell back, Miss Allison DuBois, to break down the latest episodes of RHOBH, share her hot takes on the current season and to help analyze just what the F is really going on with Kyle Richards these days. We discuss newbie Annemarie, return guests who were at both parties Camille and Faye and the shady but brilliant strategy of Sutton. Finally, we discuss the performance of a lifetime by one of the hottest Bond Girls ever, Denise Richards.

Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard from Bravo’s "The People’s Couch" step Behind The Rope. You may have heard a thing of two about them feuding with Jeff Lewis lately. You may have heard a thing or two about Heather McDonald’s involvement as well. Here we were thinking it was going to be a nice, happy, peaceful end of 2023. Ya, right. We figured this was the perfect time to share this blast from the past chat with Julie and Brandy listening for and uncovering many Easter eggs of foreshadowing of what was to come on their eventual, brutal, ugly fall out with Mr. Jeff Lewis. We talk Jeff Lewis, Gage, Jenni Pulos, Kelly Dodd, Lea Black and tons more Bravo, Housewives and Jeff drama as we take this trip down memory lane. @mrjuliegoldman @peeweethepeoplescouch @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUVAGA - www.truvaga.com ($15 Off w/ Code Velvet on The Best Product To Enhance Your Wellness Journey) AURAFRAMES - auraframes.com ($30 Off Their Best Selling Frames With Code VELVET) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Reliefband’s “Twelve Days of Relief” Sale Is Happening Now.

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.

Kathy Hilton had an epic Holiday Party which has got everyone in town talking thanks to one Miss Teddi Mellencamp. Heather Gay will never film again with Monica Garcia who Mary Cosby says we all need to pray for. 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 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.

Vicky Vox steps 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. We figured this holiday weekend was the perfect time to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Vicky Vox. @thevickyvox @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) UNCOMMON GOODS - uncommon goods.com/VELVET (15% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) WATERBOY - waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

Moving on, we discuss the fall out of Bethenny Frankel and Nene Leakes, Andy’s involvement in this fallout, Nene and Bravo re-following each other on social and the true, real likelihood that Nene could return to RHOA as a peach holder next season as rumors of a reboot, Sanya and Drew terminations and other cast shakeup tabloid fodder surface and resurface all week. Next, we share some newly surfaced tea from BravoCon and it is scolding hawt. Finally, we recap RHOP, RHOM and discuss all that is RHOBH - “name ‘em”, a humbled EJ, make ups and break ups, Dorit’s PTSD and the return of the one and only Denise F’ing Richards. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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 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% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) WATERBOY - waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

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% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) WATERBOY - waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

Brooks Marks steps back Behind The Rope. With RHOSLC back in our lives for a stellar Season, we thought it time to share this never before aired blast from the past chat with Brooks Marks. Brooks is here to chat about his experience as one of the Real Housewives’ Kids from his break out Season One status to the past few years on RHOSLC. 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 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.

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.

Candiace Dillard steps back Behind The Rope. Candiace Dillard from the vault that is. This never before aired chat, on the heels of last season’s The Real Housewives of Potomac premiere, is shared here today with Miss Candy Gal and our regular BFF Sarah Fraser. We talk RHOP past, present and future. We chat Ashley Darby’s divorce from Michael, Gizelle Bryant’s love life, Robyn and Juan Dixon and so much more. Candiace opens up about her over zealous mouth and twitter finger which often gets her into hot water, the involvement of husband Chris Basset, being held to a different standard than many of her RHOP cast mates and how, no matter what she does, people hate, or love to hate her. Of course, we also chat music a la her first album “Deep Space”, other housewives’ music a la Countess Lu, Mel Gorga and the like and how she turned to one and only Kandi Burrus as well as Erika Jayne to not get caught up in the Housewives music mix. As we say, she mentions it all. @candeegal09 @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 Upgrade Your Job Post ) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

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.

Allison DuBois steps back, again, Behind The Rope!! With two episodes of this season of RHOBH under our belts, Allison stops by to help break down this current season of RHOBH. First, we revisit her thirteen year in the making prediction that Mauricio will never emotionally fulfill Kyle. Know That!! Allison breaks down the recent scenes between Kyle and Mauricio helping us separate the real from fake and weighing in on all the recent real world events - Morgan, DWTS and many conflicting statements. Next, we break down the Dorit & PK “Pretty Woman” scene and discuss whether these two are separated or not - despite Dorit’s weekend BravoCon claims that they are, in fact, not separated. We discuss how the season is going for other cast mates - Sutton, Garcelle, Crystal, the fact that Erika is learning “empathy” for the first time (Allison actually knows Dr. Jenn Mann well) and what the arrival of Annemarie Wiley in episode six really means for the rest of this season and future of this franchise. 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.

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.

On the heels of the return of RHOP, the drama off screen is heating up in full force. Robyn and Gizelle weigh in on the Chris Bassett infidelity rumors, Candiace slams them back and Mia Thornton gears up to share more of her life than she ever thought possible as her marriage and separation take center stage. Welcome back ladies. Moving on, we analyze Shannon Beador’s future as she is formally charged with DUI and Hit and Run after blowing way above the legal limit - black out level to be specific - for her drunk while driving night out. Speaking of the OC, Kelly Dodd slams Tamra, Tamra blocks us, and Ubah Hassan slams Tamra. The RHONY ladies come to life in their reunion - who knew they had it in them, foreshadow what we can expect next season and answer, kind of, whether Jenna Lyons will, in fact, return next year. Finally, Andy Cohen gets annoyed with Teddi Mellencamp, weighs in on this season of RHONJ and prepares for his Super Bowl weekend this weekend at BravoCon. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NOOM - noom.com (Sign Up For Your Trial Today So You Can Manage Your Weight For The Long Term) DraftKings Casino (Download The Draft King’s Casino App Now & Sign Up w/ Promo Code Velvetrope To Get a Deposit Match Up To One Hundred Dollars In Casino Credits When You Dposit $5 Or More To Play All Your Favorite Casino Games) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) 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.

Last week Bethenny Frankel, Nene Leakes and the artist formerly known as Raquel Leviss had dinner at Hotel Bel Air with approximately twenty seven other women. One of those women was our very own BFF and monthly cross over co-host Miss Melissa Rivers. Today Melissa returns to spill all the tea on that dinner - what did Bethenny talk about, how and why was this dinner organized, what were 90210’s Jennie Garth and Tiffani Thiessen doing there and did they actually burry the hatchet as the viral headlines have suggested, who did Raquel speak to, was Scandoval discussed, what was Larsa Pippen doing there. what was Melissa’s role in all of this, and last, but certainly not least, did Bethenny spend all night discussing her “Reality Recknoning”. Speaking of B’s “Reckoning”, we discuss the upcoming “Vanity Fair” “deeply reported probe into Bravo’s relationship with Housewives" - when we can expect it to drop, the target of the article and likely outcome at Bravo once released. Speaking of Bravo, we discuss heading to BravoCon next week and break down Melissa’s plans to stalk, we mean meet, Below Deck’s Captain Jason, team up with her “competition” Countess Lu, attend Erika’s “Bet on Blond” and spy incognito on Kyle to see if there are any Morgan Wade or Mauricio Umansky sightings. Finally we discuss the close of this season of RHONY, the premiere of RHOBH and how to fix both RHOA and RHOC when they return to our Bravo TVs later next year. @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NOOM - noom.com (Sign Up For Your Trial Today So You Can Manage Your Weight For The Long Term) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) 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.

We start with an update on White House Crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi! We know, we know. We did not see that one coming either. Jax Taylor de-boards a plane, drops bombs on WWHL, opens Jax’s Studio City, shares tea on Vanderpump Valley Village and makes a plea to join RHOBH. No really, Jax wants to star on RHOBH - we assume with Brittany as a diamond holder. Once that sinks in, we break down the fall out from Tamra telling boss Andy Cohen to F off, discuss Shannon Beador’s Outpatient Program, offer relationship and love advice to both Shannon and Vicki, propose marriage to one Miss Nene Leakes with our potential move to the ATL and last, but certainly not least, cannot help but wonder what Thanksgiving will be like at Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s this year with a potential Kim Zocliak appearance alongside new prey Chet Hanks.

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.

Admit it: you’re obsessed with royal families – watching them, gossiping about them, wanting to be them. It’s the stuff of fantasy. But for real life royals, the crown jewels can be more like shiny handcuffs. There are expectations and rules – and if you break them, the consequences are big, and very public. And no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before. 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. This is just a preview of Even the Royals. You can listen to the full episode exclusively on Wondery+. https://wondery.app.link/ETR_BTE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. This is an episode not to be missed. @marcbouwer @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THE KARDASHIANS (Catch New Episodes of The Kardashians on Thursdays, Streaming Only on Hulu) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is that time of the month again! We welcome back our regular monthly correspondent, the one, the only Miss Melissa Rivers. Melissa is here to help us make sense to all that has been happening in the BravoVerse over the past few days. Melissa weighs in on Shannon’s recent DUI, her cry for help, new roommate Vicki and how Bravo, as a corporation, plans to handle this as another season of RHOC comes to a close and we head into the reunion. What do we think of the just released reunion looks? In other West Coast news, Mauricio and Ariana dance to mixed reviews and scores - revenge dress and all, Kyle takes time out of her Parisian get away with Morgan to cheer Mo on and the RHOBH cast weigh in, comment and prepare for what will hopefully be an epic premiere mere weeks away. NBC releases statements regarding alcohol, mental health and NDAs amidst the “Reality Reckoning”, Bethenny takes credit and we wonder, will anything really change or is it business as usual? Finally, Captain Lee is not happy about out interview with Aesha Scott, Captain Sandy gets engaged, Captain Jason strips down and Miss Melissa Rivers has a lot of thoughts, feelings and opinions on the new pairing this week that broke the entire internet - Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce!! @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off The Best Skincare Products With Code VELVET) AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

As the days pass and more info is revealed about Shannon Beador’s DUI, Hit & Run and subsequent arrest, the more questions we have. Today we address subjects such as where Shannon really was the night of her crash, who was she really with, what was Archie doing in the car, who are her real friends in this time of need from RHOC and who is sucking up for clicks, is she really getting the treatment she needs and last, but certainly not least, will this affect her Bravo future. Can anyone say Bethenny Frankel three times really loud. Speaking of Bethenny, we share a status update on her Reality Reckoning, review and recap this week of RHOSLC and pay homage to Mary Cosby with a “Best Of” segment. Finally, we spill the tea on our night in Vegas this past week with Erika Jayne, reveal what she had to say about Rinna, Dorit and Kyle and for those thinking of purchasing tickets, recap and review “Bet On Blonde”. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off The Best Skincare Products With Code VELVET) AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

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 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) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

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 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.

Heading east, we share what we know from RHONJ Season 14 filming, discuss the fact that Tre and Mel are still not speaking and explain why this once explosive franchise will seem tame and non toxic when it returns to our Bravo screens in Q1 next year.

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 !

What a season of Below Deck Down Under it has been. Aesha handled the removal of Luke and Laura phenomenally. We are still in awe. On that note, we figured it a great time to share this chat we had from earlier this year with Aesha Scott. Aesha spoke about the then upcoming season of Below Deck Down Under. 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. Of course Aesha also chats about the full anthology of her Below Deck career - Med, Down Under and Galley Talk! Yes, everyone’s fav Chief Stew has been busy AF! Aesha chats working with the Captains Sandy and Jason, Chief Stews Hannah and Bugsy, the infamous prescription drug fiasco, Captain Lee’s exit, Sandy as replacement and Fraser’s freshman season as Chief Stew and working relationship, or lack thereof with Sandy. Finally, Aesha talks Below Deck drama from the past, current and future, BravoCon, her off screen beau, life between seasons, Kate Chastain and just what is next for this Yachtie and Reality TV star who does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. @aesha_jean @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MTV Music Awards - (The MTV Music Awards are LIVE this Tuesday September 12th at at 8pm EST / 7 CENTRAL) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

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. In other news, Summer House’s Carlito and Lindsay are dunzo. We break down all the recent rumors regarding their separation, separate fact from fiction, discuss the involvement of producers, share details from the cancelled wedding, deep dive why this was done on TV for the upcoming season of Summer House, and finally ask, are Carl and Lindsay the new Scandoval. 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. Finally, we reveal our recent DMs from the icon that is Phaedra Parks.

Debbie Matenopoulos steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about Debbie’s time at The View, exit from The View and working relationships with her co-hosts but Debbie is here today to set the record straight regarding all of that. 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!

Despite many of y’all calling her the “thirstiest Bravolebrity on the planet” - your words, not ours, we discuss the fall out from Bethenny’s chat with Raquel, her claims that she “does not care”, the cast’s / ex-cast’s reactions - Lala, Scheana, Stassi, Katie, Ariana, LVP and what Raquel is going to do in career wise. Speaking of Bethenny, we check in on the status of her “Reality Reckoning”, the strategy of her attorney’s to have Bravo voluntarily let their talent out of their NDAs and analyze the likelihood that this reckoning will be successful.

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.

With the return later this month of The Kardashians and all going on with Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”, we figured it a great time to share this chat we had with Sophia Hutchins back in our oh so far distant first year. Checking in from the home she shares with Caitlyn Jenner in Malibu, California, Sophia is here to talk about it all. 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?

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 biases 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. Hey, this is nothing new for Tre. Anyone remember Kathy Wakile, Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub? Need we go on? In a strange twist of events, Teresa has bigger fish to fry this season than Melissa and what her plan is to move forward without all the typical Housewives’ noise she has experienced in the past. Speaking of RHONJ Season Fourteen, we explain why everyone is back this season - plus two, discuss Danielle Cabral’s new friends and why John and Rachel Fuda are already having one F of a season. In other news, Tom Girardi is set to head to court, in person, to determine capacity, share a Bravocon update, explain our plan for Bravocon and break down whether Raquel Leviss can, and will sue, for Revenge Porn and if so, the full list of who. @thesarahfrasershow @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) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) STARBUCKS - ( Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso !

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. Let us not forget Peppermint’s stellar acting resume as well which includes parts in hit TV shows such as Ryan Murphy’s Pose. @peppermint247 @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.

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.

RHONJ has resumed filming the other week. We break down what we know from filming, the drama that has already arisen and clarify many recent claims from Margaret Josephs. Morgan Wade, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky film videos, make public appearances, leave social media comments all why seemingly laughing at us. We ask what the F is going on and whether these are master’s at the game on marketing, publicity and the media or a deep hurt felt emotional and / or physical affair has been taking place. Next we reveal all the details about a run in this past week with Ramona Singer down the street from our home in Sag Harbor, The Hamptons. Was the Singer Stinger in a good mood and what other RHONY was she purposely seated next to for drama? We reveal all as summer in The Hamptons rolls on. Finally, we break down the RHOSLC trailer, share updates on Jen Shah and last, but certainly not least, discuss the return of one Miss Mary Cosby. @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.

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!

With Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” in full swing, Melissa Rivers stops by for our regular monthly cross over to share inside knowledge, tea and realistic likelihood of success being a Top Reality TV Producer herself. 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. Finally, we break down the latest in the Kyle, Morgan, Mauricio drama and analyze what is really going on. @melissariversofficial @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.

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.

Gina talks early Go Go days in the LA Punk scene of the late seventies and early eighties, making their breakout first album, “Beauty and The Beat”, the height of their fame, subsequent albums, “Vacation” and “Talk Show” and the ultimate demise and initial break up of the band. Gina talks about the much publicized drug use of The Go Go’s band members, the wild antics and nights and separates fact from fiction amongst the many tall tales and public stories. Gina reminisces about the many makes ups and breaks ups throughout the decades, the on again - off again touring and how the original members - Belinda, Kathy, Jane, Charlotte and herself have achieved the near impossible remaining family and sisters though it all. 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”!

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.

Grape Kool-Aid and vodka in hand, this Dallas Diva mentions it all from growing up as a carny to the real deal behind the scenes on RHOD to cast mate feuds, break ups, make ups and more. @leeannelocken @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: VESSI - vessi.com/velvet (Get a Pair Of The Best Waterproof Sneakers & Shoes Around) MIRACLE MADE - trymiracle.com/velvet (For 40% Off The Best Temperature Regulated Sheets.

As the new season of Vanderpump Rules continues to film, the drama sure does not seem to be slowing down. Scheana Shay has received a ton of on line hate for doing her job, Lala has clapped back, Graham Kennedy has returned home to Daddy James, Ariana has taken time off for Love Island and Raquel’s future still seems to be on again, off again as the days and weeks fly by. Ahh, LVP sure has her hands full. Speaking of Raquel and Ariana, we take a temperature check on just how everyone is feeling about both and ask whether the tides of hate are turning for one miss Rachel Leviss. In other west coast news, Erika Jayne visits victims, has a lot to say about her famed earrings and heads to Vegas to bet it all on blond. We analyze which franchises are in need of a reboot, recap recent RHONY episodes and contemplate whether Kim and Nene should return together for an epic RHOA season. All this plus a BravoCon update. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: VESSI - vessi.com/velvet (Get a Pair Of The Best Waterproof Sneakers & Shoes Around) MIRACLE MADE - trymiracle.com/velvet (For 40% Off The Best Temperature Regulated Sheets.

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. 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.

Sorry Chelsea, the job is taken. Mary talks all the ever changing relationships in the office - newlyweds Chrishell & G, newly single - again - Jason and ex Marie Lou and a topic which seemed to come up often this season, Bre and Baby Daddy Nick Cannon.

Thom Filicia steps Behind The Rope. Having just had Jai Rodriquez on the Pod, we figured it was a great time to continue our trip down memory lane from the early days of Bravo and share this epic chat we had with Thom. Queer Eye For the Straight Guy. Bravo Royalty. Thom takes us back to the beginning of how he got cast for Queer Eye by getting stuck in an elevator. Thom talks about the behind the scenes filming, producer involvement, and what he thought about the finished product once the show aired. He talks about how life changed once Queer Eye came out and catapulted him into the public eye. Of course we discuss cast mates Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez, Ted Allen and Kyan Douglas. We discuss what Bravo was like in those early days, the evolution of the network, and Andy Cohen. Thom tells us stories from the vault about designing projects for celebrity clients such as JLO. Thom also chats RHOBH, RHONY and more Housewives! Of course, no discussion of Queer Eye would be complete without a nod to the current Netflix series and Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Tan France and Bobby Berk. @thomfilicia @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: IQBAR - TEXT VELVET to 64000 (Get 20% Off All IQBAR Products Plus Free Shipping) ROCKET MONEY - rocketmoney.com/velvetrope (Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions & Manage Expenses The Easy Way) FACTOR - factormeals.com/velvet50 (Use Code VELVET50 To Get 50% Off Your First Box) 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.

In other RHONJ news, Kim shares updates on Frank Catania’s recent “backpedalling”, deep dives John Fuda’s shady past, reveals the truth about The Gorga’s home make over and much more. Looking ahead to next season, Kim explains why there could be more to Marge allegedly going to HR to complain about Luis, why Marge is smarter than we have given her credit for, the conundrum that is Luis Ruelas, what the cast is likely to look like when the show returns - hint: not at all what you expect and how, based on the heated on-line toxicity of Tre vs Mel that is reigning as strong as ever, we should not expect the RHONJ pause to end any time soon. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/85160843/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Whew! Once we let all that sink in and recover, we break down Andy Cohen’s supposed recent diss to Bethenny Frankel, Bethenny’s response, and the real likelihood that we will see Jill Zarin and Bethenny on RHONY RHUGT Legacy amidst all the rumors that these two OG’s represent the “extra apples” in the original show announcement earlier this year.

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.

In other B news, we chat her engagement, how many karats that ring is, fiancé Paul, new biz ventures and the claims she and Jill Zarin will appear on RHONY Legacy Girl’s Trip. Speaking of Andy, we break down his recent defense of Meghan Markle, his regrets about never having her on WWHL and who he also seems to not want to have on his late night talk show. Hint, she is a huge Below Deck fan and on this episode with us here today.

Music Legend Taylor Dayne steps Behind The Rope. Having just run into Taylor at Dorit Kemsley’s “Homeless Not Toothless” full RHOBH Cast Charity Event, we figured it was a good time to share this chat we had with Taylor back in the day. Did you know Taylor is very close friends with the one and only Jill Zarin? Taylor takes us when back to the beginning when Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister helped her chose her stage name and what life was like before hitting it big with the Smash “Tell It to My Heart”. Taylor’s stellar book by the same name “Tell It To My Heart” is a must read - juicy!! Taylor discusses her career which has included selling over 75 million records worldwide which makes her one of the best selling musical artists of all time. We discuss some of Taylor's famous friends such as Whitney Houston, Clive Davis, Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul and Tina Turner. Oh, let's not forget her friends Madonna, Prince or Michael Jackson, who she opened for on his infamous BAD tour. We just cannot. Say whaaat? We also talk about Taylor's take on some of today's hottest acts such as Halsey, Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande.

Just when we thought it was safe to turn on our Bravo TVs again, the RHONJ drama just will not stop and seems to be continuing even though the most toxic season in RHONJ history has come and gone. Kim D. is here to help separate fact from fiction regarding police reports, receipts, lawsuits, private investigators, jail cells and much more. Though all of this, she reveals never before discussed past violent behavior by Joe Gorga - which she witnessed, discusses the claims that Teresa and Luis marriage is in trouble, shares a message for Mel and discusses newly received information about the future of the RHONJ franchise - who is likely to go, who is likely to stay and when, realistically, we can expect contracts for the new season to go out. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/84851736/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

With the most toxic season in RHONJ history behind us, we sure did not think there would be anything left NJ related to discuss. Boy, were we wrong. First off, we share an update on Miss Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Bo Dietl and much, much more. With many people claiming “fake receipts”, we deep dive the validity of police reports, lawsuits, baby mamas and more. Looking ahead to the future, we break down a way we think The Real Housewives of New Jersey can possibly, maybe move ahead with both Teresa and Melissa. Maybe. Possibly. Maybe. We also discuss the involvement of the house husbands and why we may see Luis, and Joe Gorga - if he returns - and the rest of the boys take a major back seat next season. @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) 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.

So many Housewives franchises, so little time. First we discuss the return of RHOC, contemplate whether Tamra Judge has saved the franchise, and break down whether the rest of the season will live up to the hype. Heading north, we focus on what we can expect when RHOBH returns in November, whether anyone will miss Rinna or Kathy and why there have been no press leaks during filming. In the Vanderpump world, we chat about how and why everyone is winning in Scandoval, share info we know about Lisa Vanderpump’s new show, “Vanderpump Villa” and explain what the next season of Vanderpump Rules will look like. Finally, we break down the Bravo shade as they edit Nene Leakes out of past season flashbacks, share updates on Kim and Kroy’s just getting started legal drama and chat whether Kim Zolciak - she dropped the Biermann from her social - will be headed back to RHOA sooner than later. @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) 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.

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.

With the final installment of the RHONJ reunion having now aired, Kim D. is here to break down the end of the most toxic season in RHONJ history. Luis’ stranger and stranger behavior, Tre’s no more namaste, Tre’s declaration that this is the last time she will ever speak to her brother, Melissa’s smugness, receipts that no one cares about, Andy’s disdain, walk offs, yelling and lies. Of course, there is the also constant mention of many off screen supporting players past and present - Juicy Joe, Jacqueline Laurita, Laura, Nick, Bo Dietl and more. As far as the real world goes, there is just as much happening off air as on - and you thought these weekly chats would be slowing down with Kim D. now that the season ends. Kim details her recent phone call with Vanessa - Luis Ruelas’ ex - about her new claims against Luis and all the on line chatter against her, Bo Dietl’s recent message to Joe Gorga, Kim G’s recent tweets claiming she knows who called the FBI and much, much more. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/84577879/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Forget all the speculation shuffling around the internet, the source himself is here to explain just what went down. Of course we also cover the highs and lows from his time on the show - table flips, "see you next Tuesday”, his beloved daughters and much more.

Back before The Randall Scandal, when Randall and Lala were a seemingly happy couple, back when he just appeared on Vanderpump Rules for a few times, back when he and Lala were double dating with Lisa and Ken, before the many assistant claims, before the alleged home foreclosures, before Scandoval and many legal woes, we sat down with Randall Emmett to chat. They say hindsight is twenty, twenty but were the signs there of what was to come? We admittedly were more than fooled having originally placed this chat in one of our all time favorite interviews ever. Listening back, almost three full years later, this chat takes on a whole new meaning with each word analyzed more than the next.

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.

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.

Heading South, with the new season of RHOA upon us, Carlos shares a temperature check about how Season Fifteen is going so far, the involvement of Martel Holt, whether the season will hold up to the current hype, Drew and Ralph’s messy divorce, Kenya and Marlo’s new men and whether any OGs from the past should return with a bang - Nene, Kim, Porsha and so on, and so forth. Speaking of Kim, Carlos breaks down Kim and Kroy’s divorce - the validity of it, the ugliness of it, the child custody claims, the social media unfollows and likelihood it will get worse before it gets better.

Juicy Joe Giudice steps Behind The Rope. The man. The myth. The legend. 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. Forget all the speculation shuffling around the internet, the source himself is here to explain just what went down. Of course we also cover the highs and lows from his time on the show - table flips, "see you next Tuesday”, his beloved daughters and much more. Of course, Teresa has gotten married to Mr. Luis Ruelas. Like we said, Juicy mentions it all. THE interview you have waited this entire RHONJ season for has finally arrived!!! @joe.giudice @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Back before The Randall Scandal, when Randall and Lala were a seemingly happy couple, back when he just appeared on Vanderpump Rules for a few times, back when he and Lala were double dating with Lisa and Ken, before the many assistant claims, before the alleged home foreclosures, before Scandoval and many legal woes, we sat down with Randall Emmett to chat. They say hindsight is twenty, twenty but were the signs there of what was to come? We admittedly were more than fooled having originally placed this chat in one of our all time favorite interviews ever. Listening back, almost three full years later, this chat takes on a whole new meaning with each word analyzed more than the next. Fascinating and chilling at the same time from a man whose life was about to fall apart and crumble.

And Round One of The Epic Three Part RHONJ Season Thirteen Reunion goes to….? Teresa? Melissa? Does anyone or anything else even matter? Kim D. is here to deep dive and share her hot takes on this epic showdown, who came out ahead, where she thinks Bravo and the franchise need to go from here and whether each side - Mel and Tre - are really, really done with each other. In other reunion news, Kim chats TreStumps - that you very much Margaret, Cabral vs Fuda, the humor and sometimes failed humor of Ms. Aydin, the wise words and wisdom of Dolo and, oh, so much more. In real life news, Kim chats an angry Bo Dietl, damage control by Andy Cohen, a Melissa Gorga NYC run in, more mounting legal woes for Luis Ruelas and a quiet as a church mouse cast that sat there in real time watching their potential RHONJ future slip away as Tre and Mel slowly put a few more nails in the ten year old coffin. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen To Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83842847/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

With brand deals rumored to be worth $75,000 to $200,000 a pop, we deep dive whether the Vanderpump Rules cast, fans or Lisa Vanderpump still feel bad for Ariana, when and if those tides will turn, the potential fall out from that shift and what the future looks like for Ariana, Tom and Raquel both on and off VPR. We share our hot takes on the VPR Pause, how it will eventually be solved, when we expect Pump cameras to pick back up for Season Eleven, who will be in and out and what we expect to be different when the show returns. Finally, we discuss Lisa Rinna’s recent claims that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is a “stupid” show, her visions of Lois telling her to resign, her conflicting exit stories, her social media block and whether she misses RHOBH way more than she is letting on. @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 Randall Scandal: Love, Loathing and Vanderpump. We break down our appearance in, and involvement with, this ABC / Hulu Documentary, what we learned about Randall, the most egregious things Randall has done, our very own BTS Randall Scandal and what this all means for Lala and Ocean’s future. Speaking of the future, we discuss the just wrapped Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Thirteen - Kyle’s White Party, Erika Jayne’s Performance, Denise Richards’ Drama and so much more of what we can expect next season when RHOBH returns to our air ways. Meanwhile over on the east coast one show that will not be returning anytime soon, RHONJ. We break down the pause, explain why every single cast member’s job is on the line, discuss how we think the Melissa vs. Teresa problem will be solved and when, realistically, we can expect our fav Garden State ladies to resume filming. Finally we discuss the RHONY Reboot, RHONY RHUGT, Bethenny’s involvement and whether Ramona Singer really, truly, possibly could not know who Kristen Taekman is. @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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras.

Of course, we also met Tom and reveal what that convo was like, what we learned about the future of Vanderpump Rules, Raquel, timelines, Schwartzy, and last, but certainly not least, what is next for this booked and busy rocker that is the current punching bag du jour of Bravo fans worldwide. In other VPR news, with the finale over and reunion among us, we share our hot takes on both and deep dive what to expect next season when the show returns for its eleventh installment. Maybe. In other news, Andy Cohen and Lisa Rinna are feuding, Potomac is filming and RHOA is chugging along.

Melissa Rivers steps back Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all that is going on in our BravoVerse. 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. We analyze why people are still so invested in The Scandoval, how everyone wins from it and discuss how VPR moves forward with Ariana’s claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel ever again. Heading east, we break down the RHONY Reboot, Melissa’s past fashion connections to RHONY newbie and former J. Crew President, Jenna Lyons, and how this franchise will fare when it premieres on our Bravo screens later this summer. Speaking of RHONY, we discuss how RHONY Legacy became RHONY Girls Trip, the return of Kristen Taekman, the exit of Jill Zarin and why Ramona Singer has way more than nine lives. Finally, we discuss the hot men of Below Deck - Captain Jason (Melissa’s crush), Fraser Olender (David’s crush) and Bruno Duarte’s move from Deckhand to Gay Porn Star (Ladies and gentlemen you have our attention).

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. On a lighter note, we chat working with Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana, “celebrity” and his catchy new song, “Faith In Me” which is bound to be one of the songs of the summer.

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. Jacqueline weighs in on the current dynamics of Teresa and Melissa and Joe Gorga’s fall out, details her epic lunch reunion with Teresa which broke the internet, reveals plans her hubby and Luis have, shares her thoughts on Luis, chat Sister In Law Caroline Manzo's fall out from RHUGT, shares her opinion on whether this will be Melissa Gorga’s last season like the fans hope and want and much, much more.

Andy Cohen recently said that the newly rebooted Real Housewives of New York City is “different” having watched the first seven episodes. We analyze the word “different”, discuss new RHONY Jenna Lyons’ recent Met Gala hosting gig and discuss whether you, the audience, are excited for this reincarnation, are instead longing for The Countess in her cabaret glory to appear back on our screens or whether, as we like to say, two things get to simultaneously be true. Speaking of The Countess, we chat the, as we predicted, never happening RHONY Legacy, the newly reformatted Girls Trip RHONY and real reasons why Miss Ramona Singer is headed back to this beloved franchise despite all her claims of “legacy loser” and a new life well enjoyed. Heading to the ATL, we chat our run in with Miss Phaedra Parks, question the validity of Drew and Ralph’s divorce and weigh in on the current season - Kandi coming in hot - which is well underway.

The Scandoval. As you know we are in the middle of it, but did you ever stop to ask when was the first sign of something inappropriate going on between Tom and Raquel. Today, return guests, famed dress designer, Pol’ Atteu, and husband Patrik Simpson. break down everything they saw as guests at good friend Scheana Shay’s wedding. Patrik and Pol detail how they saw Tom Sandoval kissing Raquel. Yes, Sandoval.

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.

Jacqueline Laurita steps Behind The Rope. One of the OG’s herself is here to, well, mention it all. 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. Jacqueline weighs in on the current dynamics of Teresa and Melissa and Joe Gorga’s fall out, details her epic lunch reunion with Teresa which broke the internet, reveals plans her hubby and Luis have, shares her thoughts on Luis, shares her opinion on whether this will be Melissa Gorga’s last season like the fans hope and want and much, much more. Like we said, Jacqueline mentions it all and holds nothing back in this nostalgic chat about RHONJ past, current season as we head into the reunion and the unforeseen future of this non stop, over the top franchise!

Welcome back Cedric Martinez. For everyone who has not listened to our Part I sit down with Cedric, which was re-released two Sundays ago, feel free to do so. Now onto Part II. Cedric continues to bring us behind the rosé curtain to discuss what life was like living with Lisa Vanderpump and how that living arrangement ultimately came to an end. He explains what life was then like after his time at the mansion ended and how he, ultimately, was able to move on. We also discuss, in depth, his relationship with Lance Bass. Cedric explains how he met Lance Bass, their courting, dating, the highs, the lows, and the ultimate breakup. He also lets us know the last time he spoke to Lance (the answer is not what you would think) and what Lance used to say about fellow ’NSYNC members including Justin Timberlake. Finally, Cedric gives us a rare look into his current life in London and what he would say to Lisa, Ken and Lance if he ran into each of them today.

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.

With the new season of RHOBH filming, we break down all the cameos, return Diamond Holders and potential newbies. Of course we know a thing or two about rumored newbie Annemarie Wiley, her NFL Legend Husband Marcellus Wiley, the viral video circulating which seems to insinuate she has had problems with the OG herself Kyle Richards and why none of the past Diamond holders are likely to make much of an impact when the show returns. In other RHOBH news, we share a Kathy, Kyle, Kim Richards Hilton update and deep dive Mauricio’s new book, series of interviews, return of Buying Beverly Hills and why it seems he is closer to Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin than Kathy and Rick Hilton.

Jill Zarin. The Woman. The Myth. The Legend. Everyone always asks us where to find the episode that way back, in another lifetime, once caused a riff between Ms. Zarin and ourselves. A riff that has since been talked about, squashed, moved on from and not revisited. Not revisited except for today where we share another classic lost on the back feed. This is the episode which caused national headlines of epic proportion which Ms. Zarin was not pleased with. Now y’all can listen and stop asking where it is on the back feed.

One notably absent name from the aforementioned roster, Brandi Glanville. 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.

Moving on to the P, Juan Dixon is not having a good few weeks. We share our hot takes on his termination from coaching, the women that have spoken out against him, the women he has recently been photographed with, the ever circulating claims that he and Robyn have a fake marriage for her RHOP paycheck and last, but certainly not least, whether Robyn will be given a pink slip when RHOP casting is announced very soon.

Oliver shares his hot takes on the Scandoval, Lala Kent and much more. Of course, Oliver also talks being the subject of Erika Jayne’s affection on RHOBH, what is was like to see his brother Jax attacked on social media, clarified the truth behind the rumored bots, discusses Mom Garcelle Beauvais, shares an update on Garcelle’s bot investigation, and deep dives just who is behind it all and whether, in his opinion, that has anything to do with the terminations of Diana Jenkins and Lisa Rinna.

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.

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 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.

Another day, another slew of events in the ever changing world of The Scandoval. As we head into the Vanderpump Rules reunion taping, we deep dive what we can expect to happen during the upcoming filming and share our hot takes on what really happened between Raquel and Scheana, all the recent statements from all parties involved, the return / cameo of Kristen Doute and that mid season trailer everyone is still talking about. Taking a momentary break from The Scandoval, now that Brandi Glanville has lawyered up, we analyze her statement, her attorney’s demand for raw footage from Bravo, Caroline Manzo’s response and what this all really means for the future of RHUGT 4 and both Caroline and Brandi in the BravoSphere. We chat the return of RHOC and the trailer which is expected to drop any day soon and whether Tamra Judge’s return and the addition of Taylor Armstrong can save this once stellar franchise.

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.

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.

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.

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. Tune in to Part 1 of Behind The Velvet Rope’s very special sit down with Karen Gravano. @karengravano @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.

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.

With Brandi Glanville’s recent statement surrounding RHUGT 4 and viral cameo, we deep dive what happens now, when can we realistically expect to see RHUGT 4 on our screens, will we ever see this installment and, if so, to what extent will it be heavily edited and last, but certainly not least, what is the status of NBC Universal’s rumored investigation and when, if ever, will we find out the results. 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. Finally, with lawsuits, omissions and fake accusations, we share our hot takes on how to move forward with the current mess that is RHOP.

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.

Ronald Richards steps BACK Behind The Rope. Our convo continues. You have read his tweets. You have heard all that Erika Jayne has said about him. 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. As RHOBH Season Thirteen filming commences, Ronald is here to help us make sense of it all.

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. 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. As we said, in rare form, Miss D. is just getting started. Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79408325/edit @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Moving on, we discuss Jen Shah’s final “statement”, for lack of a better word, before surrendering to authorities in Texas where she will spend the approximate next 6.5 years in FPC Bryan, a minimum security prison camp for women. Next, we discuss the new season of RHOBH which began filming without Lisa Rinna and address all the casting rumors separating fact from fiction including the potential involvement of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing’s very own Tracy Tutor. Finally, we address all the off camera recent sagas of one Miss Kim Zolciak Biermann, the every changing on again, off again, now seemingly off home foreclosure that was not and just how she managed, as she always stated, to avoid eviction and disaster in her life, once again. @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.

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.

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 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.)

Next we share our hot takes and ask the question whether anyone is excited for either show, if so which one, when can we realistically see the Reboot on our screens and will Legacy ever really come to be.

With so many franchises in flux, so many back on our screens and so many uncertain as to when they will return, we are all over the place today. Starting on the left coast, we deep dive Lisa Rinna’s new life - acting gigs, Paris Fashion week and many, many statements that she will be okay. 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. Finally, we discuss the return of RHONJ, the ups and downs of Tre & Mel and what we can expect from this already stellar NJ Season.

To celebrate the return of RHONJ in our lives, we share this chat we had with Marge Sr. way back when we first started the Pod. My, my how time flies.

Marge and David chat RHONJ cast mates - Melissa, Tre, Jennifer, that hair pull, how it affected Margaret, and of course, everyones favorite topic, Danielle Staub. What else do these two talk about? Well, EVERYTHING. David's part time job working with Marge Sr., shopping, food, sleep overs at Marge Sr.'s and how David tries to avoid Freckles and Maxi, Marge Sr's two beloved felines. Finally, they talk about the upcoming Season of RHONJ (the new season airing at that time, that is) before heading out for an evening cocktail.

RHONJ Season Thirteen.

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. This does not hold up well in such a shocking way. Were there signs? Should we have known? As they say, hindsight is 2020. Take a listen and let us know what you think. 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.

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.

The more things change, the more the stay the same. One thing that will never change is a basic life principle we choose to live by here Behind The Rope. Do Not Mess With Kelly Dodd. Several months after Tamra dissed Kelly Dodd at BravoCon, Kelly and Rick come out swinging with accusations about The Judge’s CBD “Business”, receipts and all. Let us not forget that Rick was an investigative reporter for much of his career and we are down a rabbit whole with all the Dodd-Leventhal’s have laid out for us to dissect. As Jen Shah’s sentence has now been handed down, we cannot help but wonder once again, what did Coach Shah know and do Jen’s recently surfaced texts to her co-conspirator Stuart prove Sharif had knowledge of his wife’s crimes? Speaking of RHOSLC, we provide solutions with how to fix RHOSLC after an “off” season and break down whether Mary Cosby’s return would help and just how likely is that to really ever happen. Finally, we provide all our hot takes of this epic season of RHOM - the feuds, make ups, rumors, drama and, of course, one divorce in the form of Lisa and Lenny Hochstein which is unfolding week after week before our very eyes. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SMALLS - smalls.com/VELVET (Use Promo Code VELVET for 50% Off Your First Order) DAILY HARVEST - dailyharvest.com/velvet (Up To $40 Off Your First Box) OUAI - theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

The dissolution of Aurora’s marriage, the “hall pass”, Sophia’s recent move to NYC to be with her NFL man and Olivia’s very public past relationships with various athletes and, of course, Nick Jonas.

First things first, Kim is coming in hot after revealing information last week about how she claims Rachel Fuda allegedly “landed" her spot on RHONJ, she talks about the fall out from that claim from Rachel, where that claim originated and offers advice to Ms. Fuda moving forward.

Adore starts at the beginning of how the world first came to know her as Danny Noriega, semi finalist on Season Seven of American Idol. Adore chats Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, the Idol experience and what it was like to have been on the receiving end of a typical day for Mr. Simon Cowell. Adore talks life after Idol - appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show, being hired by Rosie O’Donnell to perform on her legendary “Rosie” cruises and the birth, as we know her, of Adore Delano. Adore talks about Drag Race - joining, finishing second, returning for All Stars, Mama Ru, guest judge Khloe Kardashian and the state of the show today which has traditionally come under scrutiny for its inclusion, or lack thereof, of all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ rainbow. Speaking of that World Tour, Adore talks musical influences, rock and roll and just what one can expect from an Adore Delano show which starts later this month at the famed Whisky A Go Go in Downtown LA!

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".

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: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

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.

We start today’s episode by pondering one of life’s most important questions - who is more authentic and why, Tre or Mel? Meanwhile, we deep dive Lisa Rinna’s recent comments that she is in favor of Heather Dubrow becoming a cast member on RHOBH, is open to working with anyone including Kathy Hilton and discuss the likelihood that either of those will actually happen in the near future next season when the show returns. Speaking of Heather Dubrow, we discuss the rumors that the season ended with a bang between her and Tamra, the rumors that Heather had a tough season, whether Kelly Dodd should be given an orange to return and when we can expect RHOC to return to our small screens. Finally, we share our hot takes for an epic RHOP spin off starring Michael and Ashley Darby. No really, it is so epic we almost wanted to delete it and pitch to Bravo.

Peaches Christ steps back Behind The Rope. We have one word - SHOWGIRLS. Yes, that classic mess of a movie or classic brilliant masterpiece, depending upon which side of the fence you fall. Wait, before we get to that and “You Don’t Nomi”, the documentary that analyzes the making of Showgirls, the movie itself, the public’s reaction, and how it remains a cult classic all these years later, Peaches chats more with us about her life and career that has spanned several decades on the San Francisco, and world, drag scene. Peaches has been producing full blown Midnight Movie drag extravaganzas for years, one of which was Showgirls. The other of which is Purple Rain. Yes, we have yet another Prince fan in the house to discuss one of the biggest musical geniuses of our, or any, generation. We also discuss Peaches’ “Spin The Bottle”, a drag-umentary send up of Madonna’s “Truth or Dare” chronicling life behind the scenes at Midnight Movie Mass. Speaking of Madonna, Peaches analyzes current day Madonna, her “interesting” social media behavior, and whether she has “lost her way”. On the subject of train wrecks like Showgirls that we just cannot look away from, Peaches chats our favorite subject, Reality TV and all its glory. In other current event news, Peaches discusses, yes we are on an Elizabeth Berkley kick, the just released Saved By The Bell Reboot. Finally, we talk about other “so bad they are good” movies such as Grease 2 and Xanadu, to name a few.

Peaches Christ steps Behind The Rope. Legendary Drag Performer, Peaches Christ, that is. Born Joshua Grannell, Peaches takes us back to the beginning and what it was like growing up in a suburban Maryland town with a love of all things “alternative” - Horror Films, The Macabre, John Waters, Depeche Mode and The Pet Shop Boys, to name a few. That “alternative” also came with an early Queer Identity, which Peaches combined with her love of film, to enter film school. It was during her senior thesis at this film school that Peaches Christ was born. After film school, Peaches ultimately settled in San Francisco and voila her famed Midnight Mass live movie / drag/ musical extravaganza began. It shortly thereafter became a thing, a big thing, attracting the likes of RuPaul, The Scissor Sisters’ Ana Matronic, Elvira, and even John Waters himself. Speaking of RuPaul, we discuss that one time RuPaul basically announced he was starting a little show called “Drag Race” at one of Peaches’ Midnight Mass live events. Peaches discusses Drag Race and RuPaul, how far both have come from just starting out to this worldwide, for lack of a better word, “mainstream” part of Pop Culture! What about Showgirls, the sh*tstorm cult classic of a movie that was one of Peaches’ main inspirations for the Midnight Mass Movie Extravaganza? Do not worry, we have not forgotten. That is Part II.

By now, we all know that Jen Shah had a very public break down on the streets of Salt Lake. We break down this breakdown, no pun - what caused it, why it happened and is this a woman who still does not understand the severity of her situation and the fact that sentencing is only a few weeks away. Speaking of Jen Shah, we discuss this season of RHOSLC, whether this franchise is able to continue without Ms. Shah and if Mary Cosby should return, and is needed, for the future of RHOSLC. We revisit the discussion about why the public has a different reaction to Jen Shah than Erika Jayne, revisit the crimes of Mr. Girardi and will RHOBH really be off pause come January. Finally, we deep dive this season of RHOP and discuss the recent legal claims being thrown around about Juan Dixon. @thesarahfraser @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HIGHLAND TITLES - www.highlandtitles.com (Use Code VELVET for 15% Off Entire Site.

Looking ahead to next season, Kathryn analyzes Kathy Hilton’s ultimatum that she will not return if Rinna and Erika do, the likelihood that all three return and who Producers and Bravo would ultimately choose - Kathy or Rinna / EJ - if their hand was forced.

With all the rumors swirling about Brandi Glanville, Lisa Vanderpump and Denise Richards in heavy talks to possibly return to RHOBH next season when filing resumes in January, we dive deep into those rumors, discuss which are true, how serious these alleged talks are, how likely any will come true and will we actually find out in January or is the RHOBH pause likely to be longer than originally announced. We also address those other RHOBH current cast change rumors that Diana and Crystal are being let go, Dorit demoted to “friend” and the fate of one Lisa Rinna ever changing by the day based on her sporadic social media use. Speaking of Housewives past, we break down Nene’s recent interview in which she claims Kandi Burruss is jealous of her, part of her lawsuit against Bravo is still “active” and the fact that she is open to returning to Housewives if she can sit down with Andy and the powers that be. Finally in RHOP land, Chris Basset refutes both Gizelle and Ashley Darby’s claims of inappropriate behavior and DMs, Candiace fights back and, finally, claims that other than herself no one is bringing it and the whole show should officially be recast.

Michael Musto steps Behind The Rope. Michael chats about the full trajectory of his career none the least of which was his ahead of its time legendary Village Voice column which included dish, tabloid fodder, celeb accolades and interviews with anyone who was and is everyone. Michael breaks down the process of “outing” Gay Hollywood, the hate he received for it over the years, Rosie, Ellen, Jodie Foster, where Hollywood is today on the subject, the obvious celebs who are still in the closet - oh hey there Missy Elliott and Queen Latifah and why and just who may be slipping under our radar. Did we mention, tabloid fodder? Michael also breaks down his ahead of its time blind item, how he was not only the original blogger but also an ahead of his time influencer who picked some of today’s A list names out of obscurity and what he thinks of today’s social media culture, famous for being famous, reality tv (did someone say Real Housewives and Kardashians) and the Queen or King of blind items, Deux Moi. Michael also opens up about how one of his blind items led to the investigation and ultimate arrest of now infamous club kid Michael Alig for the death and dismemberment of Angel Melendez. Michael discusses which celebs were the nicest, rudest, most upset at his hold nothing back snarky opinion in print and what current day celeb scandals keep him up at night. As all roads often do, Michael deep dives Madonna - how she, then unknown, prevented him from sound checking with his band, how he predicted she will “never amount to anything” - a statement which still gets him screamed at by M fans globally, Madonna’s current social media behavior and whether she is “trying too hard” or once again is just ahead of us all. Finally, we chat about how his friend Andy Warhol would approve of Andy Cohen being deemed the modern day Andy Warhol, how he would have wanted to appear on RHONY and be spending his days doing portraits of our good friend, Countess Luann!! @musto184 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

We chat the newly announced RHONY Reboot and the fact that newbie Lizzy Savetsky was rumored to have also been filming the now axed Season Six of RHOD with D’Andra Simmons and Tiffany Moon, what can we expect from Lizzy once she is holding her apple and can the RHONY franchise be saved. Cary also chats running into Tamra Judge earlier this year in Switzerland, whether she thinks Tamra can “save” RHOC and what will RHOC be like with Tamra solo without Vicki. Cary also discusses the fact that RHUGT has never had a member of the Dallas cast on it and will that change anytime soon. Cary opens up about joining RHOA or M2M now that she and husband Dr. Mark Deuber have opened a branch of Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery in Atlanta.

The RHOBH are STILL at it - slamming each other on social media, putting each other down in interviews and acting like their juggernaut of a show was not put on pause while the Powers That Be at Bravo try to figure out where to take this show when it seemingly begins production early next year. We break down what really caused the RHOBH pause, which cast members will likely be the most effected by it, and offer advice on what each should do between now and then to secure, save, and / or resurrect their diamonds next season. We address the recent rumors that LVP, Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville are heavily being considered to make a return, explain which, if any, are true and what next season will most likely look like. Finally, we share what each has been up to since the show wrapped and why, when we look back on the legacy of RHOBH many years from now, this past season will go down in history. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) FREEBIRD - myfreebird.com/velvet (20% Off Today) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

Jerry Springer steps back Behind The Rope! One of the most Iconic names in Reality / Daytime TV is here to chat about it all. 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 Bettle 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, and just what is next for the man who everyone just cannot seem to get enough of. Let’s all chant it together.

Now that the RHOBH reunion has come and gone, Kathryn Edwards is here to chat about the “other” cast members besides Rinna, Kathy Hilton, Kyle and Erika Jayne. Kathryn breaks down this past season for Garcelle, Sutton, Crystal, Dorit and last, but certainly not least, Diana Jenkins. We discuss home invasions, bots, “dark”, cat sweaters and where each goes now that the season has ended. Kathryn chats Andy Cohen’s clear favorites after watching the reunion, compares other Reality TV sister relationships to that of Kathy and Kyle - Melissa and Tre, Kim and Khloe, and just why everyone’s social media behavior, yes we are talking about more than just Lisa Rinna, seems to have not slowed down even though the season and reunion is a near distant memory. @katedwards8 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

What a week in RHONJ and RHOBH land it has been. First off, Kim D. comes in hot with scalding tea about Melissa and Joe Gorga. Kim shares info about old rumors swirling around The Gorgas which seem to have risen again over in Jerz land. Kim D., the gift that just keeps giving and, as usual, she leaves no stone unturned and no detailed unattended to. Even though RHOBH is over, our fav diamond holders do not seem to be letting go of this past season. Kim chats about Lisa Rinna’s recent social media behavior, her disagreement with Andy Cohen over envelopes, disappointment over Lois and whether the RHOBH pause til January is, in effect, because of her. Kim also breaks down Diana’s recent statement that she discovered the person behind the Bots, her reluctance to release the info, Garcelle’s lack of interest in anything Diana has to say and likelihood we, the public, will ever find out the truth behind the Bots. We discuss whether the new RHONJ release date of Dec has anything to do with RHOBH’s pause and finally remind people that, oh yea, there is a show airing called RHOSLC. All this plus an exclusive Juicy Joe update.

BravoCon and the Gorga / Aydin brawl was weeks ago but the fall out from this event is still occurring. We break down the ramifications for each side moving forward- rumored WWHL bans, RHONJ cast alliances and whose job in the Garden State is really on the line as we prepare for next season which is expected to drop in early February. In other news, the current RHOP season is chugging along, infidelity rumors, unnecessary edits and all. We make sense of our favs from the DMV and chat about off screen gossip which should come to light as the rest of the season plays out. Speaking of RHOP, we share an update on that now infamous boy who revealed he slept with Michael Darby at BravoCon. Who is he, what are his strange ties to past and current RHOC wives and what details have been learned that, perhaps, would have been better left to the imagination. Finally, we share an update on Ramona Singer and which wives are the best at "playing the game”! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

Now that the RHOBH season has come to an end and we all try to remember what life was like prior, we look ahead to next season and deep dive what that is likely and possibly to look like. With rumors circling about a possible Denise Richards return, we analyze what that would entail, the likelihood it would actually occur and why that would be the best thing to happen to Lisa Rinna for her RHOBH future. Speaking of Denise Richards, we break down some of Lisa’s other, no shade, for lack of a better word, “roadkill” - Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards. In other future RHOBH news, we discuss whether the other women are jealous of Garcelle since she has a legitimate career in Hollywood, whether Kathy Hilton truly loves this experience more than she doth protest and whether Lisa Rinna’s social media behavior will slowly start to fade and / or become more positive now that the season has, whew, finally come to an end. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

Kathryn is back to close out the RHOBH reunion and talk about the ever lasting effects this season of Bev Hills has, had and may continue to have on a sister relationship and family dynamic that has been off and on for decades. Kathryn breaks down the likelihood that Kathy Hilton said any of the things she has been accused to have said by Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne, why Rinna and / or Erika would make up this story and / or embellish the facts, the truth behind it all, the cast’s reaction, the public’s reaction, Andy Cohen’s reaction and just who has come out looking better and worse - Kathy, Kyle, Erika, Rinna - after an epic conclusion to the most toxic, for lack of a better word, season of RHOBH in Real Housewives’ history. @katedwards8 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

We conclude our deep dive into the RHOBH Reunion with the one and only Kathryn Edwards. Who better than to help us make sense of it all than someone who was actually a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. Kathryn is also the most requested return guest in the history of the BTVR. From Rinna asking to be put on pause, to Garcelle feeling disrespected, to the Hilton-Richards sisterly drama to a BravoVerse in which we now live where Rinna seems to be more disliked than current, past, or future Erika Jayne, we mention it all. Of course, having been on RHOBH Season Six with all of the aforementioned - Season Six being the first for Rinna and EJ also - Kathryn chats working with each, discusses how much Rinna has changed, offers sage advice to future Rinna and breaks down just who is likely to hold a diamond when the new cast of RHOBH is announced for Season Thirteen in what is expected to be the very near future! @kateedwards8 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

The RHOBH Reunion and Record Breaking Season has finally come to an end and Kim D. is here to close it down the same way she started it, by holding nothing back. Kim deep dives the reunion, the season and how to move forward with a cast divided. Kim discusses all the names that have been kicked around to make a possible return - Brandi Glanville, Camille Grammer and last but certainly not least, Kim Richards - and the likelihood that each would actually happen. In RHONJ land, Kim has been bombarded with DMs, texts, emails and phone calls about The Gorgas with the public seemingly ready to turn on this power couple thanks, in part, to one little PR boy and Miss Jennifer Aydin. Kim shares her hot takes on what is true, untrue and everything in between. Kim discusses The Gorga’s future on RHONJ, their apology tour and which past RHONJ she can foresee being involved. Finally, Kim weighs in on this weeks RHOSLC, our three newbie “friends of” and one Coach Shah who seems to have been completely in the dark a mere few months before Jen’s guilty plea.

Almost as shocking as the day we found out about Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s divorce, Monique and Chris Samuels seem to be headed there with rumors of separate current living arrangements, magazine reports and one Miss Ashley Darby throwing in her two cents. Teresa and Melissa and Joe are at it again and BravoCon certainly did not help. Neither did Jennifer Aydin as we break down Jennifer and Joe’s literal BravoCon brawl. Speaking of BravoCon, we break down Andy’s recent comments that Jen Shah was not in attendance because her situation had expired and chat about what was really meant behind that comment. Finally, we discuss the RHONY reboot, who we personally know on the new cast, the public’s reactions, Jenna Lyons’ involvement, the OGs’ reaction and whether y’all intend to watch. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CBDISTILLERY - www.thecbdistillery.com (15% Off.

The RHOBH Reunion and BravoCon have both come and gone which has left some, many, most of our loyal listeners, that means you, asking, “what next?”. Well, in typical BTVR fashion we are here to wrap it all up with a neat bow and help y’all answer that question. Garcelle and Diana are not speaking and will probably, it is safe to assume, never speak again. Andy Cohen fumbles though an answer of why we did not have a RHONY Season Thirteen Reunion even though we know and break down the real reason. Lisa Rinna got booed, ended the season on an unknown note and still does not care, middle finger and all. Kathy Hilton dominated BravoCon, came out swinging at the RHOBH reunion and doubles down on the fact that she will not return if the cast is the same - are those fighting words or a whole bunch of nothing considering at least one current Diamond Holder is definitely not returning. She does mention EJ and Rinna by name, after all. All this and more as we help answer some of life’s still unanswered most important questions. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CBDISTILLERY - www.thecbdistillery.com (15% Off.

Mario Cantone steps Behind The Rope. Mario wastes no time in deep diving the role he is beloved to many for in both Sex And The City and And Just Like That. Mario chats on screen and off screen friendships with Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP), Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. Mario talks how the show, and cast, has changed since the beginning, the public’s reaction to And Just Like That, the controversy of Sara Ramirez’ “Che”, the original plans for Stanford & Anthony’s storyline, who his character should now date newly single and the huge mega influence this juggernaut of a show has had on fashion, NYC and women worldwide. Focusing on what everyone wants to talk about, Mario shares hot takes on the upcoming And Just Like That Season Two, addresses filming rumors and clarifies when we can really realistically expect to see the Sophomore season aired. Moving on, Mario talks about Andy Cohen’s desire for him to do a Kathy Griffin “Life on the D List” show, the fact that he could have been “Jack” in Will & Grace and whether we can ever expect to see Kim Cattrall back on screen in the Sex universe. Finally, hot off his elimination on The Masked Singer, Mario shares what that experience was like, who from SATC / AJLT he thinks would go farthest, advice he has for his celeb friends who wanna participate, the Maize and much, much more!

Gloria chats how a little song originally slated as a B side, “I Will Survive”, became THE go anthem of empowerment for men and women worldwide, an anthem that is still one of the most sung, downloaded and beloved songs of all times. Gloria chats about the highs and lows of the music business, working with Kylie Minogue last year on her album “Disco” and who of the current day reigning Divas she thinks is most well equipped to keep the legend of Disco going.

BravoCon has come and gone and the RHONJ, RHOBH and RHOSLC have certainly kept us on our toes with a lot to break down. Kim D. is here to finally break her silence on The Gorga’s BravoCon behavior, who is really behind a divided RHONJ panel and, of course, the Jennifer Aydin / Melissa Gorga / Joe Gorga “loser” drink throwing incident which involved assistants, public relation kids and one very pissed off security guard. Kathy Hilton was treated like the Queen of BravoCon - we are still hearing “Kathy Kathy” in our sleep, Rinna was booed, Erika revealed shocking info about PK and Dorit, Garcelle refused to acknowledge anything regarding Diana and, oh, so much more. The RHOSLC cast mistook the event for their end of season reunion while Jen Shah crashed chanting “Free Jen Shah”. No really, we could not make this stuff up if we tried. Finally, we deep dive RHOBH reunion Part Two and break down next weeks’ finale as Miss Hilton finally takes the stage. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/73559586/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Bethenny Frankel has sued TikTok. We break down the lawsuit, the claims, her disdain for The Kardashians, Meghan Markle, her 1 million followers and whether she really misses her time on television more than she lets on. With RHOP back in our lives, we break down whether Ashley and Michael Darby should be and are really headed for divorce or, as they make plans to purchase a house, are really BFFs destined to be together forever, Gizelle’s reaction to Wendy this season and whether Chris Bassett is this seasons’ scapegoat. Welcome to Bravo. Finally, we analyze what a different season of RHOSLC this would be if Jen Shah stood trial and we did not already know of her guilty plea!

As the RHOBH reunion continues on, we break down many of this season’s still unanswered questions such who really leaked Kathy’s alleged “meltdown” to the press, is Lisa Rinna the smartest housewife to ever play the game, slowly losing her mind or just plain grieving, will Rinna return, will alliances shift next season with Kyle’s recent statement that she left the reunion feeling closer to Garcelle and Sutton and last, but certainly not least, can yet another divided family recover and find peace as this reality juggernaut continues. Finally, we address the public’s disdain for Lisa Rinna, what exactly is causing that dislike, will the show be boring if she does not return and will they really really not watch next season if Miss Melrose Place returns. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyiontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FIRSTLEAF - TryFirstleaf.com/VELVETROPE (Get 6 Bottles of Wine for $39.95 Plus Free Shipping) ORGANIFI - organifi.com/velvetrope (Use Code velvetrope at Checkout for 20% Off Your Entire Order) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) VH1’s The Surreal Life (Premieres Monday October 24th at 9/8c) 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.

Colton Haynes steps Behind The Rope. Colton is here to mention it all. Colton takes us on his journey from his early days in a small Kansas town to modeling at just sixteen for Abercrombie and Fitch to starring roles on two “teen dream” projects, Teen Wolf and Arrow, all while hiding his secret from the world that he was gay. Colton opens up about the industry’s involvement in keeping him closeted, coming out, and all the anxiety, depression, addiction, self doubt, insecurity and family loss that went along, in his case, with that. Colton chats about coming out the other side, the effect that had on his career and where he stands with it all today. Colton also chats about his stellar recent project in Swinder Seduction, in which he plays crooked twin brothers who are romantic cons living off the women they fool and steal from. Dirty John and The Tinder Swindler ain’t got nothing on Swindler Seduction. Finally, Colton chats about working with Ryan Murphy in AHS: Cult, the current state of being gay and out in Hollywood and his brilliant courageous memoir which captures this all, Miss Memory Lane. @coltonlhaynes @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FIRSTLEAF - TryFirstleaf.com/VELVETROPE (Get 6 Bottles of Wine for $39.95 Plus Free Shipping) ORGANIFI - organifi.com/velvetrope (Use Code velvetrope at Checkout for 20% Off Your Entire Order) ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) VH1’s The Surreal Life (Premieres Monday October 24th at 9/8c) 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 RHOBH Reunion has finally arrived. Kim D. is here to help us make sense of it all. Andy and Kyle’s confusion with Crystal’s “story”, Erika Jayne’s acknowledgement that she is okay, the awkwardness that you could cut with a knife when Diana appeared, Garcelle’s son, Bots, and last but certainly not least, the outfits, fashion, and appearance of Khloe Kardashian, oh we mean Lisa Rinna. On RHOSLC, Kim D. breaks down the whirlwind that is Whitney, Meredith, Lisa, Heather and Jen Shah - accusations of infidelity, tears, lingerie, blowies for box seats and denial that there is a sentencing looming. Finally, Kim weighs in on Joe Gorga’s recent interview that he loves his sister, the fact that Tre is coming for the Gorgas, A BravoCon RHONJ Panel divided and much much more! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/73261464/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that RHOSLC is back in our lives, we thought it time to ponder some of life’s most serious questions such as why does the public, fans, viewers - as in y’all - despise, hate and chastise Erika Jayne and yet seem to be much softer on and, dare we say, like Jen Shah. In other RHOSLC news, we deep dive the break up of Meredith and Lisa, the riff between Whitney and Heather, missing Mary Cosby, the comedic timing of one Miss Heather Gay, and whether Jen Shah understands what “sentencing” really means. Heading east, Teresa Giudice says that it is finally over with Joe and Mel, that she never gave Bravo an ultimatum and how we will all finally see the “evil ways” - her words not ours - of Mel and Joe by watching the new upcoming season of RHONJ. Finally, we deep dive Ashley Darby’s recent comments that maybe she won’t divorce Michael after all, the return of RHOP and just what we can expect the rest of this already brilliant season of Potomac! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORGANIFI - www.organifi.com/velvetrope (Use Code velvetrope at Checkout for 20% Off Your Entire Order) ETHOS - www.ethoslife.com/VELVET (Get a Free Personalized Life Insurance Quote Today) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) The REWATCHER: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (Listen on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, or Listen Early and Ad-Free by Subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery App) 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.

It is all these weeks later, the RHOBH reunion has come and has almost gone, and we are still a BravoVerse divided over whether Lisa Rinna is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when it comes to Aspen and one Miss Kathy Hilton. We break that down, Rinna’s constant social media posts that she knows EXACTLY what she is doing and whether we are as confident as her that she is the LeBron James of Real Housewives and will definitely be back next season. In other West Coast Housewives news, Vicki was seen filming the other week with the other two Tres Amigas - Shannon and Tamra. Is Vicki’s filming a last ditch effort to hold onto her Housewives’ fame of yesteryear or a brilliant play at getting the franchise and Bravo to realize they need the OG of the OC more than we ever knew. We also break down the rumors that the franchise has got off to a slow start, the rumors that Heather Dubrow has not filmed in weeks and the rumors that Taylor Armstrong has come in hot ready to exchange her once diamond for an orange in an attempt to officially be upgraded to full time status. Finally, Jim Edmonds marries, David Beador plans to divorce, TomKat divorces and Straight Up With Stassi returns!

The RHOBH Season has finally come to a close.

On RHOSLC, Kim talks about how “interesting”, we can think of a few other words, it is to watch this season knowing that Jen Shah has pled guilty and will be sentenced later this year, the not ending anytime soon feud between Meredith and Lisa and could Whitney and Heather be the next in a long line of Bravo families to go to the point of no recovery. Be careful ladies. Finally, Kim weighs in on Teresa’s claims that we will see the “evil” - her words not ours - of Joe and Melissa by RHONJ season’s end, the fact that Mel and Tre cannot even come together for a BravoCon panel and finally, last but not least, that Teresa and Melissa will be taking separate cast photos for the RHONJ opening credits when the show returns early 2023.

RHOBH. Does anyone wanna talk about anything else in the BravoVerse these days? It does not seem like it. The Rinna vs. Kathy Hilton feud which started a few weeks back seems to have more twists and turns than we could have ever predicted. Was there a coverup? If so, of what? Did Rinna embellish the facts? Did Erika Jayne add fuel to the fire in an effort to take all the heat off herself?Has Kyle finally abandoned the sisterhood for good? Will this cost any of them their highly coveted positions in the franchise next season and, if so, was it all worth it? The more questions we answer, the more we think of to ask.

Brielle starts at the beginning discussing what it was like to grow up on Bravo having first appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta at age ten. Brielle reminisces about her time on RHOA - best/worst/viral moments, and all that drama that she witnessed between all our fav peach holders, including Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Brielle discusses her much talked about relationship with Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann - the public’s obsession with it, judgment of it, and truth behind what having a Mom like Kim is really like. Of course, we learned more about that relationship during the first ever RHOA spinoff “Don’t Be Tardy”. Brielle chats about that eight year journey working with her whole fam including “Dad” NFL Superstar Kroy Biermann. Brielle explains how she handles her online “trolls” who judge her every move and chats about the constant scrutiny she receives regarding what plastic surgery she has and has not had, a topic which recently came up during her WWHL “Bravo Kids” appearance. Brielle breaks down which Bravo children she is friends with, what Bravolebs have slid into her DM’s throughout the years (the answer has left our mouths agape!), and who she would still love to meet in the BravoVerse.

Kim is also here to chat about the return of RHOSLC - a clueless Jen Shah, the breakup of Meredith and Lisa, the alliance of Whitney and Lisa and ever present comedic timing of one Miss Heather Gay. Finally, as Kim has predicted, she chats about the early exit of Tre from DWTS - her dancing, Aydin and Cabral and of course, the comment that Len Goodman just does not like our New Jersey Housewife.

Kandi Burruss and the entire cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta have been asked back for Season 15 making Kandi the longest running housewife in the BravoVerse holding the title for fourteen consecutive seasons. Sorry Ramona and Vicki, you came close but the record is held by Ms. Burruss!

As the new season of Vanderpump Rules continues to film, we share shocking Raquel / Tom Schwartz gossip that you will not believe and, no, it is not the several week old story of them “hooking up”.

Emily also breaks down Jen Shah’s recent guilty plea in her criminal fraud case, why she plead guilty, what we can expect from sentencing, her, Andy Cohen, the RHOSLC cast and public’s reaction to Jen’s guilty plea and what this means for her, her family and RHOSLC’s future.

Okay, Allison is much more than an e-cigarette and letting Housewives know when their husbands will never emotionally fulfill them.

Heather opens up about the struggles she has faced over the years in Hollywood trying to find work, the many misperceptions the public has about life in the biz, her viral tweets on the subject earlier this year, her own struggles with mental health as a result and where she, and Hollywood, are today regarding it all!

As rumors of the reunion circulate, we break it all down separating truth from embellished facts - sisterly rivalry, cover ups, lawsuits, casting rumors, social media disasters and what the viewing public is calling one of the darkest seasons of RHOBH in history. Kim shares her theories on how we got here and where we go next. Who is likely to stay and go, what celebs’ names are being thrown around and will the fans really boycott if certain members of the self deemed Fox Force Five are not terminated. In other news, Kim checks in on Tre’s Dancing With the Stars progress, Melissa’s reaction to DWTS, Luis’ excitement, just how many times we can expect to see Jennifer Aydin in the audience, the new looming RHONJ season, the fact that Mel and Tre will come face to face in a few short weeks at BravoCon and last, but certainly not least, Tre’s recent comments that it is finally over, done, finished, never to come back from with Melissa and Joe. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/72022741/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

These and many more questions answered as we prepare for our fav Snowflake Holders to return in less than two weeks. In other news, Raquel Leviss has gone from Schwartzy to Garcelle’s son Oliver and back again (?), Scheana has gotten married, Lala is dating, Katie is blaming everyone, LVP skips a wedding and this is just the tip of the iceberg as Vanderpump Rules Season Ten continues to film.

Heading west, what a week in RHOBH it has been. Diana Jenkins has not only come out swinging with cease and desist letters to all those claiming false narratives, but she has donated $100,000 to the Victims’ Families of Lion Air Flight 610 and is going after the alleged people behind the “Bot” attack on Garcelle’s Son Jax. As we have said many times before, do not F with someone worth a cool $250M. Just sayin'. Finally, we break down this week’s RHOBH - #team EJ is trending, Rinna to the rescue, Kathy is mad, Paris gets involved, and Kyle seems to have set her sisterly relations back once again.

We break down the likelihood that any of the aforementioned had anything to do with that and what is the possibility bots were actually involved. Once that dust settles, and after we deep dive to the n-th degree from every angle, we break down what is next and what this means for their Bev Hills’ future and how likely is it that Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins and anyone and everyone else will not return for next season to hold a diamond. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino steps Behind The Rope. Today we share this never before released gem from the vault. Alexis takes us back to the beginning of her Real Housewives of Orange County journey, when then husband Jim brought her to the Season One Premiere Party and she met the then cast Vicki Gunvalson, Jo De La Rosa, Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson and Kimberly Bryant. Fast forward several years, and Alexis was cast as a main RHOC cast member Season Five. The rest is history. Not so fast. Alexis opens up about how much life changed from when we saw her on RHOC as a married woman to Jim Bellino to her current life with love Andy Bohn. Alexis chats about the reasons for the demise of her marriage, the role, or lack thereof RHOC played in this demise, what it is like to now watch these scenes back all these years later, and what is was like to have the general public weigh in on your marriage. Alexis also chats about her time on the hit Bravo show and cast mates Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Gretchen Rossi, and Vicki Gunvalson - who was the hardest to work with and the status of each of these relationships today. Alexis also discusses her Christian Faith and how that played out on the show. Yes, for all those wondering, we do discuss Alexis’ moniker “Jesus Jugs” as bestowed upon her all those years ago by Tamra Judge. Speaking of Tamra, we DO bring up the Jim Bellino law suit against her and Shannon Storms Beador. Alexis also weighs in on the current cast and we finally answer why or why not she would really ever go back despite all the rumors out there. @alexis_bellino @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Chaz Dean steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from the Hollywood Hills home he shares with his three Labradors, Chaz is here to tell it all. First things first, Chaz fills us in on his journey from his early days of working at a LA Salon to eventually purchasing that salon, developing WEN hair care products, taking over QVC and, of course, those infamous WEN infomercials - think Alyssa Milano and Brooke Shields - that we all love so much. Speaking of celebrities such as Brooke and Alyssa, his very first well known client was Nicolette Sheridan and from there things just took off. She told a friend who told a friend and soon he was doing hair for much of the Aaron Spelling Empire. That empire included such Superstars as 90210’s very own Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. As their stylist, Chaz heard and knew it all! The things he could, and does, tell! Let us not forget there was a time way back when where Shannen, Tori and Jennie didn’t exactly all see eye to eye. Our very own RHOBH Lisa Rinna was also a client and is a current friend. What happened when Nicolette Sheridan walked into his Salon one day while Rinna was in his chair? Umm, yea, exactly what you are thinking. Not well. There was also that one time he had to run to Casa Rinna for a Delilah Belle Hamlin hair emergency. Chaz has stories for days and we are LIVING for it. Chaz is also close with Lisa Vanderpump. Wait, how does that work also being friends with Rinna? Are you starting to see a trend? Tune in to hear it all - Chaz Dean, the man behind the WEN empire, chats about business, hair and what we love best, Celebrity on this Part I sit down of our interview with Chaz Dean. @chazdean @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Garcelle Beauvais’ son was the subject of online troll attacks. We break down those attacks, the RHOBH casts’ reaction, Bravo’s reaction, the fans reaction and why many think Diana Jenkins is behind it all. In other RHOBH news, LVP has come out swinging against Mellenball who made derogatory comments about her brother, Kelly Dodd calls Mauricio and PK gross and RHOBH casting rumors continue to swirl with Diana, Crystal, Dorit and Rinna all rumored to have been considered to be on the chopping block. We dispel many of those rumors, who may be coming back and then chat RHONY 2.0 and OG casting. So many rumors, so little time. What is not a rumor is that our very own Scheana Shay tied the knot and Schwartzy and Raquel Leviss were said to be getting cozy. Filming for the OC has begun and not all of her cast mates are happy with the return of one Miss Tamra Judge. Nothing shocking there. Finally, Nene Leakes’ lawsuit against Andy Cohen was dismissed without prejudice. We break down what that means and what happens now for all parties involved. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Heather chats Dollhouse - what it was like to lead a feature film as your first project, how life changed after and why this film is still so beloved as the teen angst voice of “other” or “different” for many generations to come. We chat hot takes on some of Heather’s projects after Dollhouse - The Princess Diaries, Scream, Roseanne, The L Word and Grey’s Anatomy to name a few as well as co-stars such as Anne Hathaway, Neve Campbell and Ellen Pompeo. Heather opens up about the struggles she has faced over the years in Hollywood trying to find work, the many misperceptions the public has about life in the biz, her viral tweets on the subject earlier this year, and where she, and Hollywood, are today regarding it all! Finally, as a member of the LGBTQIA community, Heather talks representation, new movie “The Mattachine Family” and, of course, her wife’s tribute book to Queen Madonna because as we often say, all roads lead back to Madame M. @heathermatarazzo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

First we chat about those viral honeymoon pics of Tre and Luis that have been circulating all over the internet. PDA much? Then we break down Frank Catania’s claims that he had to break up the men and women at the finale, share a Mel/Tre update - does anyone even still care, and deep dive the Margaret / Laura spat that took Twitter by storm earlier this week. Heading west, we address the social media hate Garcelle’s son received earlier this week, Bravo and the RHOBH cast’s response and what happens now?

As RHOBH casting rumors for next season swirl, we break down the likelihood that the rumored Diana, Rinna and Crystal will be let go. We share our thoughts on that and offer up some likely other options of who will most likely be on the chopping block next season. As these casting rumors circulate, Denise Richards weighs in announcing she would return to RHOBH in the future. It certainly would be a good weekly reminder that her Only Fans is alive and well, not that she needs any help in that category and she would certainly be coming for Rinna. Hello Bravo. Are you listening? Ariana Biermann was arrested for DUI and her and Kim Zolciak have come out swinging. What do they say about there being two sides to every story? Kelly Dodd calls Melissa Gorga a loser, Cynthia Bailey says Tre is warmer than Mel, and we ask does anyone still care about the fact that Tre and Mel will never, should we say it louder for those in back, never get along. Finally, we address those recent RHONY 2.0 reboot casting rumors and weigh in regarding our friend Orfeh who was named as one of the new six apple holders. Of course, we called and texted Ms. Orfeh to get to the bottom of all these rumors of who really is being cast in the new RHONY and break down when we will most likely hear the definitive cast so that we can all sleep a little better at night. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

The Nene Leakes and Andy Cohen seems to be over. Let us discuss. In other current news, Sutton is not shying away from any of the drama this season of RHOBH as we deep dive this season, drunk Erika, who we think is carrying the season and who will go. Kathy Hilton chats Kyle’s RHOBH future and the fact that she herself never wants to hold a diamond. In RHOA land we break down Marlo’s freshman season as a Peach Holder and ask is she carrying the season or doing too much, too soon. Ahh, life’s most important questions. Someone who wont be back on Bravo anytime soon, if ever, by choice, is Miss Monique Samuels who just turned down RHUGT, personal phone call from Andy Cohen and all. Finally, since y’all cannot seem to get enough of Tre’s wedding, Luis Ruelas, the rumors surrounding Mel and Joe not attending, and everything RHONJ in between, yea, we go there, once again breaking it all down for you from every possible angle y’all can even possibly imagine! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Carlos King steps back Behind The Rope. Picking right up from where we left off last time, Carlos chats current seasons of RHOA (Marlo’s Peach, the return of Shereé, Kenya supposedly passing the villain baton) & RHONJ (just wrapped filming), where each of those franchises have been and where they are going. We break down Carlos’ Infamous Top Ten Housewives List - Nene, Teresa and Bethenny in the top three seats, an underrated Danielle Staub making the cut, the glaring lack of any RHOBH and why Kyle Richards is his Queen of the 90210. Carlos chats Teresa spin off rumors - in addition to her wedding special, why New Jersey cannot survive without Tre and why he prefers an OG cast for any franchise any day. Speaking of an OG cast, Carlos breaks down what having two RHONY’s really means, how to properly cast the RHONY reboot, which OG’s he thinks deserve a seat at the OG table, why Bethenny Frankel secretly does want to be a part of the franchise and why no one should count Eboni K. Williams out just yet. The best producer in the history of Reality TV is here to mention it all. @thecarlosking_ @behindveletrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne Heche earlier this year. I, and everyone at the Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast, are deeply saddened to hear of her passing last week. Besides a career in Hollywood that most could only dream of, having started in some of the most iconic TV and Film of all time, she was an actress whose craft had been perfected to the nth degree. During this interview, she was so gracious with her time. She was kind, open, honest, forthright, a bright light and so very full of life. A trailblazer. I hope that by listening to this chat, you are able to get a glimpse into what a remarkable woman she was. Having spoken to her for just this hour, I sure did. We release this episode today as a tribute to the life of Anne Heche. Anne Heche steps Behind The Rope. Actress of Film, TV, Stage. Best Selling Author. Activist. Trailblazer. Director. Icon In The Flesh. Now Podcast Host. The ONE. The ONLY. Miss Anne Heche!! Anne is here to cover it all and have one of the most open, honest, raw conversations The Rope has ever had! Anne chats about her Iconic Career from its beginnings on Another World to starting in more movies and TV shows than we could ever list - Donnie Brasco, Six Days, Seven Nights, Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Wag the Dog, to name a few. Anne chats about her favorite roles, the ones she wants to forget, her favorite co-stars, who she would still love to work with, and why this brilliant accomplished actress still has to audition for parts. Anne opens up about what it was like to be the original one Cancelled before Cancel Culture was a thing as a result of her bringing Ellen DeGeneres to a movie premiere as her date and Ellen’s coming out of “Yup, I’m Gay” at a time when the world wasn’t 2022. Anne talks about those ten long years when no one in Hollywood would cast her, her public fallout with Ellen, what it’s like being “tied” to Ellen in the public eye all these years later, how The Ellen Show complicated her search for work even further and what she thinks, in a full circle moment, about Ellen’s now Cancellation after being deemed The Queen of Mean. Anne talks about her star turn on Dancing With The Stars, her love of Reality TV - her Best of List is music to our ears - and whether and why she would ever join or not join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!! Of course, we chat with Anne about her book “Call Me Crazy”, the biggest misperceptions about her regarding the subject, and whether an open and honest discussion about mental health can be had stigma free in the world we live in today. Anne Heche in a hold nothing back chat like you have never heard her before. @anneheche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORA ORGANIC - www.ora.organic (Get 30% Off Your First Subscription When You text ROPE to 64-000) DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Kathryn Dennis steps Behind The Rope. Southern Charm’s Kathryn Dennis that is. Kathryn is here to chat about the highs and lows, the good and bad of her entire time on Southern Charm, both on and off screen, over the past many years. Kathryn discusses the challenges of “putting it all” out there, no matter how personal, for the world to see, and consequently judge. Kathryn chats about how she has learned to cope with the public having an opinion about everything that she does in her life and what advice she would give to her twenty one year old self, before her many breakups, and two children, Season One Southern Charm, just starting out. Kathryn chats about the many ups and downs of some of her friendships with the men of SC - Craig, Austen & Shep, the women - Madison, Leva, & Naomie and who out of casts past she would most like and least like to have back - Cameran, Landon, Chelsea. Of course, with various cast members linked to A-Rod, Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler in the past, we needed all the gossip and to deep dive on what Kathryn really knows.

Melissa and Joe did not attend Teresa’s wedding. Tomorrow, Kim D. is back where she is every Saturday on our Patreon where we will be breaking down Tre’s big day - the hair, the gloves, the dresses, the fog, the nuptials, the guest list and everything else in between. Before we get there though, today we wanted to share with you an episode that would normally be on Patreon with Kim D. There is so much going on in RHONJ land that one episode this week was just not enough. We break down the chain of events that led Joe and Melissa to boycott Tre’s big day, the cheating allegations against Mel, the rumors Joey G charged Luis at the finale and much more. We also break down the multitude of rumors regarding this fractured family thereafter - namely that Tre sent a bil to Mel and Joe for not attending, all of the RHONJ cast’s involvement - including newbies Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, what we will actually see this season when RHONJ returns and, most important of all, how, if at all, do Tre, Mel and Joey move forward from here. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Jen Shah Pled Guilty. We may have mentioned that once or twice before but today we take a deeper dive on what this actually means for her future, Coach Shah’s future and the future of RHOSLC. In other West Coast news Miss Tamra Judge has returned to reclaim her Orange. We break down Tamra’s return, the public’s reaction, Vicki Gunvalson’s reaction, Jill Zarin’s involvement, current RHOC filming rumors and how this will all play out next season now that filming has begun with four people she is not currently speaking with - Heather, Shannon, Emily and Gina. Plus the return of Taylor Armstrong to Housewives! With her Orange reclaimed, we can only assume Tamra won’t keep spending her time with that other West Coast Housewife from Bev Hills so we contemplate just who would be a great replacement for Tamra’s side gig slumming it with the Mellenball!

We chat about the Iconic “break out” role of Damian, why that character resonated and still resonates with people almost 20 years later, how it changed the lives of so many gay and “other” kids worldwide and just why, out of all the characters in this epic film, Damian is the one everyone can agree brings oh so much joy to the masses.

Taylor Armstrong steps back Behind The Rope. Who can believe its been eleven years since Taylor first appeared on the freshman season of the currently highest rated Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Feeling nostalgic, Taylor takes a trip down memory lane during her tenure on RHOBH with castmates Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle and Kim Richards, Adrienne Maloof and Camille Donatacci Grammer (now Meyer). The ORIGINAL Dinner Party from hell - Allison DuBois, Faye Resnick & one epic e cigarette pen, what could go wrong?, a $50,000 Birthday soirée for a four year old, one epic stretch limo fight between two sisters that ended with the “a” word being thrown around and early accusations of LVP leaking stories to the press before that was “a thing”, we cover it all. On a more serious note, we chat with Taylor about the domestic abuse she endured from her husband at the time, Russel Armstrong, through most of her marriage and while filming RHOBH. We dive deep into topics such as why join RHOBH with this hidden secret, the difficulties of filming trying to hide this from the cast, how did she convince Russel to “let” her join RHOBH, did the show make the abuse worse, who from diamond holders did she confide in, and finally, did RHOBH, in effect, save her life? Taylor opens up about the full range of emotions expressed after she found then husband Russel Armstrong hanging in his LA home and resulting legal battles she faced as result of inheriting his several million dollar debt. Taylor reflects on how lucky she is to be here today, a gift she has shared in her aptly titled “Hiding From Reality” book and now shares in public speaking engagements across the county in the hopes of helping others suffering from domestic violence. On a lighter note, Taylor became part of a viral cat meme a few years back, you know the one, which we dissect. Of course we chat about the storyline and casting high points and mistakes of RHOBH throughout the years, whether the current cast is “right” or needs to be changed, the presence of actresses as Housewives, the realness of the show present day, Erika Jayne’s current legal woes, and much more. ***If you or a loved one are a victim of domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential assistance from trained advocates. @officialtaylorarmstrong @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

The day has finally come. Teresa is going to the chapel and she is going to get married. Now, today. The day has come! As rumors fly, we break it all down - Andy Cohen not attending, Ramona Singer “uninvited”, what other Housewives will actually show, a dress rumored to be designed by Donatella Versace, rumored being the key word, Victoria Gotti and much more. Kim D. is here to break down all that we can expect from Tre’s big day, Melissa being kicked out of Tre’s Bachelorette Party, Marge fighting with Danielle Cabral on the plane home from Ireland and more as RHONJ wrapped filming this past week with one drama filled season finale party. In RHOBH land, seems Rinna has a few different sides, Garcelle still doesn’t fully trust Erica, Crystal, Diana and Kathy are MIA and we, the world, are introduced to Rinna Rose and the Rinna Rita, the products we did not know we ever needed. No really, can we have one of each? @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/posts/70068897/edit Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kelly Dodd had some choice words for us and our Podcast following a recent two part chat we conducted with RHOC’s Braunwyn Windham Burke. Today we share those choice words and our response to Miss Dodd. All this KD talks makes us wonder, might we be seeing Kelly Dodd on a Girl’s Trip soon or are certain Housewives like the rumored Danielle Staub, Carole Radziwill and, we assume now forever, Nene Leakes, persona non grata at the network. Speaking of Girls Trip, we check in on our fav Season Three Thailand Housewives and chat Candiace Dillard’s recently announced tour. Finally, Lisa Rinna does not think Lois got a proper RHOBH tribute and rumors surface that RHOD may be back all because D’Andra was overheard in a NYC airport talking about Bravo execs. Say what?

Jen Shah’s case seems to be changing by the day. We break down Jen’s case, what happens to her and Coach Shah now and how it will affect the future of RHOSLC. In other news, the cast of RHUGT 3 headed to Thailand, filmed and now has returned home to many rumors as to what happened oversees. Speaking of RHUGT, Miss Mortimer was deeply missed which leads to our discussion as to why Tinsley Mortimer is one of the most underrated Housewives and what we can expect from this new crop of Housewives “ultimates”. As far as RHOC is concerned with Noella and Dr. Jen out and Tamra Judge in, we chat about the future of RHOC and will Alexis Bellino actually be returning for real.

Erika Jayne told Garcelle’s fourteen year old son Jax to F off. This set off a series of events which has had the Twitterverse in an uproar and has effected this season of RHOBH both on and off camera. We deep dive those events and how it has affected almost everyone in the cast none the least of which is Kyle Richards. In other RHOBH news, Lisa Rinna has apologized to the entire cast of Dubai - a cast which has its own internal sets of conflicts and we ponder, even though it is only mid season, which of our fav Diamond holders will be on the chopping block in a few months.

In other news, we deep dive into the LA Times Randall Emmett article which alleges Randall used physical violence against Lala, offered women roles in exchange for sex, continued to work with Bruce Willis after signs of his failing mental health, and so much more. If all that were not enough to give you a second to pause, Wendy Williams claims she will be back on TV very soon and allegedly has a new podcast in the works. So much to dissect.

Audrina Patridge steps Behind The Rope. Audrina Patridge from one of the best, if not THE best, Reality TV show of all time, The Hills. Audrina is here to, as we say, mention it all. Audrina takes us through the full anthology of her Hills’ experience from being cast as a relative unknown at a young age to global superstardom of epic proportion. Audrina chats cast mates - Lauren, Heidi, Spencer, Brody, Justin Bobby, Kristin, Whitney and more, storylines and just what was real versus fake. On a more serious note, Audrina opens up about the unvarnished truth about her darker days off camera when she lost all her confidence, her voice and even self worth due to a series of bad relationships which sent her on a road of self discovery and back again. Audrina chats life after The Hills - her own reality show, Dancing With The Stars and eventual return to the scene of the crime in The Hills: New Beginnings - shout out Mischa Barton! Speaking of reboots, Audrina weighs in on the recently announced The Hills: Next Gen, the recent comments from Spencer Pratt that his cast mates are less than stellar, her well documented relationships with Brody Jenner, Justin Bobby and Ryan Cabrera and last, but certainly not least, that fact that all of this plus a whole lot more has been divulged in her hold nothing back new book, Choices: To The Hills and Back Again. @audrinapatridge @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Carlos is here to chat about the early days of RHOA - when we didn’t know a Nene from a Sheree, when Kim Zolciak Biermann was just the "other" Kim in our lives, when we didn’t know that you could be tardy for any party and when we had not heard of Porsha, Kandi, Cynthia, Marlo or any of the other later icons to be. Carlos also talks early RHONJ, which here was there for as Producer as well - before Teresa was Tre, when Danielle Staub was the star of the show and the Manzo’s were still in our lives on the weekly.

Claudia Jordan steps back Behind The Rope. Claudia is here today to chat about all things, what else, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She explains how she ran into a RHOA producer at a West Hollywood gay bar and from there, the wheels were in motion. Claudia chats about her prior friendship with Kenya Moore, her arrival in Atlanta and just how she went from “Friend Of” to “Official Peach Holder” on this highly rated Housewives franchise. One word: Nene. Remember that infamous cast trip? Claudia chats about how welcome, hint - not much - she felt by Nene, Nene’s refusing to film certain scenes and how Nene treated everyone on set. She also chats about the remainder of her co-stars Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, and Cynthia Bailey - what working with each was like and the status of her friendship with each today. Speaking of Miss Linnethia Leakes, Claudia chats about Nene’s departure from RHOA this past season. On a larger scale, we discuss the concept of “everyone is replaceable” and how some times some people can be their own worst enemy. Claudia also discusses whether Nene’s current actions regarding Bravo and Andy Cohen have gone too far to “the place of no return” or can she still make a return to the network, or any other network for that matter, in the near future. Claudia is currently living in Dallas, Texas with her boyfriend and yes she knows some of our favorite Real Housewives of Dallas such LeeAnne Locken (they just had an epic day of drinks together), D’Andra Simmons (she thinks Claudia should be an RHOD) and Kary Brittingham (they have had recent real life beef).

In a very rare Podcast appearance, Taylor Armstrong steps Behind The Rope. Who can believe it’s been eleven years since Taylor first appeared on the freshman season of the currently highest rated Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Feeling nostalgic, Taylor takes a trip down memory lane during her tenure on RHOBH with cast mates Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle and Kim Richards, Adrienne Maloof and Camille Donatacci Grammer (now Meyer). The ORIGINAL Dinner Party from hell - Allison DuBois, Faye Resnick & one epic e cigarette pen, what could go wrong?, a $50,000 Birthday soirée for a four year old, one epic stretch limo fight between two sisters that ended with the “a” word being thrown around and early accusations of LVP leaking stories to the press before that was “a thing”, we cover it all. On a more serious note, we chat with Taylor about the domestic abuse she endured from her husband at the time, Russel Armstrong, through most of her marriage and while filming RHOBH. We dive deep into topics such as why join RHOBH with this hidden secret, the difficulties of filming trying to hide this from the cast, how did she convince Russel to “let” her join RHOBH, did the show make the abuse worse, who from diamond holders did she confide in, and finally, did RHOBH, in effect, save her life? Taylor opens up about the full range of emotions expressed after she found then husband Russel Armstrong hanging in his LA home and resulting legal battles she faced as result of inheriting his several million dollar debt. Taylor reflects on how lucky she is to be here today. On a lighter note, Taylor became part of a viral cat meme a few years back, you know the one, which we dissect. Of course we chat about the storyline and casting high points and mistakes of RHOBH throughout the years, whether the current cast is “right” or needs to be changed, the presence of actresses as Housewives, the realness of the show present day, Erika Jayne’s current legal woes, her recent WWHL appearance, her daughter Kennedy who is now 15, would she would ever return to RHOBH and, if so, what type of Housewife would she be now that she is happily married and not suffering at the hand of domestic abuse. ***If you or a loved one are a victim of domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential assistance from trained advocates. @officialtaylorarmstrong @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

As Teresa sends out new wedding invites in preparation for the big day which is only four short weeks away, Kim D. still has so many questions she would like answered. Kim breaks down Luis’ daily affirmation videos, the rumors that Dina Manzo and husband are on the “outs” with Tre and Luis and the rumors that there has been a power shift in current RHONJ filming with Dolores in the alpha seat, Jackie back up to full time due to a recent alliance with Tre, Danielle Cabral a full time housewife and Melissa on the outs. Some of that is true, kinda, and Kim D is here to dispel all those many rumors floating around the blogs. Heading west, we discuss the fact that the whole world has come to read Kyle for filth, what exactly is appropriate to say to someones fourteen year old son, Sutton’s true intentions, Diana’s reaction, Rinna’s outfit, Dorit’s revelations, guest appearances by Kim Richards, Kathy Hilton and the Tedster Mellencamp and oh so much more as we break down all that has been going on in RHOBH land both on and off screen this past week.

Claudia Jordan steps Behind The Rope and she DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! THE Claudia Jordan from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. First things first, let’s not forget Claudia’s entire career before joining the highest rated of all the Housewives' franchises, RHOA. Claudia placed in the Top Ten in the Miss USA Competition. She was also once a “Price Is Right” and “Deal or No Deal" Girl. It was “Deal or No Deal” where she first met our current President, Mr. Trump. It was on “Deal or No Deal” that she was first approached to do Celebrity Apprentice. A year, and many meetings with Donald Trump and Mark Burnett, later, she found herself a contestant on the hit NBC show. Claudia shares all the drama both on, as well as off set with not only The Trumps Donald, Ivanka, Don. Jr and Eric, but also with fellow contestants Joan and Melissa Rivers, Dennis Rodman, and last, but certainly not least, Khloe Kardashian. Several years later, Claudia was invited back for Celebrity Apprentice “All Stars” and is happy to discuss her co-stars this second time around, LaToya Jackson, Omarosa (the two have since had a falling out. Do tell. Claudia does), and our favorite RHOBH pot stirrer, Lisa Rinna. We discuss the behind the scenes inner workings of a reality show like Celebrity Apprentice, what is real versus scripted for TV, how Trump really chose who to “fire”, how hard were the tasks, and what skills were vital to survive the boardroom. Finally, Claudia, recounts her many many inappropriate interactions with President Trump throughout the years and how she reacted when she was invited for a “ride" on his private jet.

Erika Jayne seems to have quite a bit going on lately. With a $2.2 Million Dollar Tax Bill, claims she cannot pay, earnings being possessed and a glam squad as seen on RHOBH, we figured it was time for another deep dive on EJ and to dissect what really went down between Mr. and Mrs. Girardi. In other RHOBH news, Denise and Charlie' daughter joins Only Fans to mixed emotions within the Sheen household to which Denise follows suit. If only Denise were still a Diamond Holder and cameras were rolling. Diana Jenkins knows the Kardashians and, well, seems to have a lot else going on as well. In other West Coast Housewives news, Vicki Gunvalson has a new man who we hope is filling her love tank, Tamra seems to be in the thick of it with Miss Dubrow and Andy Cohen claims she cannot return to RHOC all because she now talks about Housewives for a living. All this and we are only getting started. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Todd and Julie Chrisley step Behind The Rope.

Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, new relationship with girlfriend Victoria and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently.

Earlier in the week we sat down and chatted with Gary Janetti. Today we re-share this chat with the one and only Brad Goreski. Brad Goreski steps Behind The Rope. Brad Goreski is a Celebrity Stylist who we know and love from some of TV’s finest such as Fashion Police, The Rachel Zoe Project and It’s a Brad Brad World. However, at one time in his life, a skin condition known as Rosacea forced him to shy away from the camera, if you can believe that. Along with Dermatologist, Doctor Shereene Idriss, Brad is here to explain what Rosacea is and what can be done about it. Thank you Brad and Dr. Idriss for bringing awareness to this chronic skin condition, for offering encouragement, and for bringing a face and name to this ever growing issue which can be treated. Of course, while we have Brad’s attention, we had to discuss his time on Fashion Police, what it was like and would he ever consider a reboot. Of course, we also dive deep into RHOBH, Lisa Rinna and Real Housewives. We also discuss the new E Network Fashion / Beauty show he has in the works with the one and only NeNe Leakes. Brad also dishes on which Awards Show, he has done them all, is his favorite. He explains what the current state of Fashion is and how he thinks it will be forever changed. Finally, we catch up with Brad on all that he and husband Gary Janetti have been up to over the past few months and what else is next up for the power couple.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World’s First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America’s Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen’s “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice’s early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra’s notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. @janicedickinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALLBIRDS - www.allbirds.com (Get Running Today with the Tree Flyer or Any Other Allbirds Products) RADIX REMEDIES - www.radixremedies.com (15% off Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $35.

Kyle and Kathy at The MTV Awards and recent claims that she would be part of the RHONY OG show if Alex McCord participated and left her home in Australia.

Lisa Rinna has certainly been keeping us entertained both on and off air this RHOBH season. Rinna’s feuding with Kathy Hilton, responding to unknown own cell phone numbers and fending off Kelly Dodd’s claims that Harry Hamlin is gay. That is just the beginning. In other 90210 news, Kyle calls out LVP, LVP has receipts and we ponder, would Miss Vanderpump ever return to the show if Kyle resigns, as she claims she may be ready for. In other news, Stassi and Beau are mad, mad, mad Brittany and Jax did not attend their Italian wedding and seems they have texts to prove all sorts of things about their ex(?) BFFS? Meanwhile on the east coast, Caroline Manzo wants to return to RHONJ to put Tre in her place and Gizelle Bryant seems to have a new mystery man? Might we see him on the new season of RHOP?

Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction is 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. Of course, we deep dive the many celebs he has read - Snooki, Lala Kent, Kristin Cavallari, Carmen Electra and chat about his reading with Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner which many believe was his “cracking” of the Jordyn Woods “cheating scandal”. Of course there was also that one time Cher wanted him to stop by for a game of tennis.

Eva Marcille steps Behind The Rope. Where do we begin with the woman who has done it all? Eva first came to the world’s attention when she won the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model in 2004. Eva opens up about that experience, addressing the many people who are constantly bashing Tyra, chatting about her experience with Tyra while appearing on ANTM, explaining the status of that Tyra friendship today and discussing Janice Dickinson’s recent comment a few months back about her nose. Eva takes us on the journey of how life changed as a result of winning Top Model and what the show did for her modeling career after. One door that opened as a result of ANTM, was the wonderful world of acting. Eva discusses the many parts she played including that of “Tyra” on The Young and The Restless as well as appearing in JLO’s “Live It Up” video. All roads lead back to Reality TV here Behind The Rope and in a full circle moment, Eva found herself back on Reality TV, this time as an initial “Friend Of” and then Peach Holder on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She chats about the evolution of her friendship with Nene - whose friend she was when she started with RHOA, some of her other epic up and down relationships - Porsha and Kenya we are looking at you, her cameos this past just finished season - who could resist an invitation to the Bailey-Hill wedding and the controversy surrounding throwing a star studded 250 person in the height of a global pandemic, her opinions on Nene’s “departure” and answers whether she misses the hit Bravo show and if she will ever go back. Eva also chats Tyler Perry’s “All The Queen’s Men” in which she plays lead, Madame Marilyn Deville, the owner of a high class club featuring male exotic dancers. Eve chats about how she got the part, how she researched for the part, what working with Tyler Perry was like, and what she learned about the male exotic dancer industry. Of course, we also wanted to chat all about one of her co-stars, Michael “Bolo” Bolwaire, known to us RHOA fanatics simply as Bolo, the dancer with the, #&#&, from Cynthia Bailey’s Party!!!!

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World’s First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America’s Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen’s “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice’s early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra’s notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. @janicedickinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CALM - www.calm.com/velvetrope ( 40% off unlimited access to Calm’s entire library. ) RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

Y’all begged, borrowed and everything else under the sun for Kim D. to stay beyond RHONJ and your prayers have been answered. If you don’t think Kim D. deep diving into every week of RHOBH makes any logical sense, starting with his premiere, I have two words for you… PRESS PLAY! That is right. In true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back in her thoughts on all our favorite diamond holders. She meets Sutton, Garcelle and Crystal for the first time, has some unpopular opinions on classics such as EJ and Rinna and, of course, has a lot to say about Dorit’s home invasion. Oh yea, we also have a RHONJ reunion to get to and, if you haven’t watched, Tre is still mad, mad mad.

Speaking of RHONJ, we break down the viral Danielle Staub parking lot video.

F bombs and all, Kim don’t hold back when it comes to how she really feels about Luis referencing his 50,000 square foot love bubble nest he shares with Tre - it is 17,000 square feet to be exact, his private jet and the fact that Tre can apparently quit the show and never work again. Kim shares her recent texts from Dolo, what we can expect from next week’s reunion with house husband walk outs, b*tch boy references, Bill Aydin’s chance to speak, speak, speak, no love loss between The Marge - thank you for The WWHL Shout Out - and Tre and one seemingly epic breakdown from Daddy Cohen himself. All this and we are only getting started.

Another day, another divorce in the BravoSphere. This time, the big D has struck the one and onlys Ashley and Michael Darby. Did we see this coming? Are we shocked?

Suzanne Sommers steps Behind The Rope. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. One of THE MOST LEGENDARY names in TV history, an author of almost thirty books, an entrepreneur in every sense of the word, an Informercial Superstar before we understood the word Informercial, a Gay Icon and so many more monikers, we could go on all day. Suzanne Sommers!!!! Hard to imagine it has been almost forty five years since Suzanne first played Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company, a show which is still as beloved today by the current gen as when it first premiered. A man pretending to be gay to live with two women in order to share the rent, Jack Tripper, Three’s Company was ahead of its time in even mentioning “gay” on a Prime Time ABC show and showing a straight man comfortable enough in his sexuality to show his “nontraditional” sensitive side making “gay” ok. Suzanne, a trailblazer, left her iconic Chrissy Snow role after five seasons demanding the equal pay of her male colleagues, a topic at the forefront of discussion in Hollywood over the past few years. Switching gears, there is no mention of Suzanne Sommers without thinking of the Iconic Thighmaster and vice versa. Back on ABC many years later as part of the Iconic TGIF lineup, Suzanne found herself opposite Dallas’ Patrick Duffy in the brilliant “Step by Step”. We had to pick Suzanne’s brain on her last book, “A New Way to Age” considering she is Seventy Four years young and is aging backward before our very eyes - no really check out our IG for pics. Although she is busy running her lifestyle empire, we had to ask if she would ever act again and who she would love to star alongside. We chat famous friends, Kardashians, RHOBH, DWTS & more. Finally, we discuss her recent statements of her “three times a day” sex life with husband and life partner, Alan Hamel. No question is off limits in this no holds bar chat with one of the most well known Icons to have ever stepped Behind The Rope. @suzannesomers @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PAIR EYEWEAR - www.paireyewear.com/VELVET (15% Off Your First Purchase) DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

We chat about what Bravo was like back in 2003 when Andy Cohen was in Corporate and not yet on air talent or the mega producer he is today and what it was like to go from a booming fashion career to one of the most recognizable men in America. We break down how Bravo has changed over the years from the channel that Queer Eye started to the house that Real Housewives built. Car Car chats his best / worst dressed Housewives, best / worst dressed Housewife franchise, and his many interactions with Real Housewives over the years. Of course, we chat about being a contestant on Celeb Apprentice, Dancing With the Stars and the many other Reality Shows (shout out Big Brother) he has been involved in. Carson breaks down celeb culture, best / worst dressed, red carpets, the future of fashion in the entertainment biz and the current Netflix installation of Queer Eye which has, once again, taken the nation by storm. Finally, we chat about Carson’s day job as a Judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race / All Stars - the contestants, judges, queens, and, last but not least, Mama Ru. @carsonkressley @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: LATHER- www.lather.com/velvet (15% Off Your Order with Code VELVET) PELOTON - www.onepeloton.com (See Website for More Information) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Tiffany Moon steps Behind The Rope. The good doctor is back! Tiffany opens up about the end of The Real Housewives of Dallas, who would have been in and out if RHOD returned, the rumored new cast members in the mix when the announcement was made, the allegations that RHOD was cancelled in part due to racial overtones, other reasons why RHOD was cancelled, if RHOD was in fact cancelled a la the use of the word “hiatus”, and who she is still in good graces with today, including RHOD OG Miss Leanne Locken. Of course with RHUGT, everyone could get a second chance which we discuss and the likelihood and outcome of casting Kameron Westcott along with Dr. Moon on a future Housewives Girls Trip.

Flipping Out’s Fan Fav Jenni Pulos! Have y’all heard this chat way back when it was first released, before many of you stepped Behind The Rope. We didn’t think so. Today we share with you Fan Fav Jenni Pulos to Mention It All!! Jenni Pulos steps Behind The Rope. Jenni fills us in on what she has been up to in life since we last saw her on our TV screens on the hit Bravo show Flipping Out. These days it is a whole lot of home schooling and family time from her home in SoCal and, in true Jenni fashion, she makes it all fun. We would expect nothing less from this Bravo fan fav. Originally from Portland Oregon, Jenni came to California for school and never left. Having pursued an acting career early on, Jenni once appeared in a movie with Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger. She was also on an episode of Charmed with Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty (OMG!!). Jenni describes what it was like to be an actress and suddenly find herself a key component in a hit reality TV show. She describes the concept of how Flipping Out came about, how the show morphed into something different than what was originally intended, what filming was like and what she thought about the finished product once aired. Jenni offers advice to anyone starting out in Reality TV, discusses the high and lows of her tenure on Flipping Out and what it was like to have your wedding filmed on national TV. Of course, we discuss Jenni's illustrious rap career and her classic children’s songs such as Poo in the Potty, Take Your Vitamins and No Fighting, No Biting. Speaking of Rap and Hip Hop, Jenni and David bond over their favorites 50 Cent, Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown as well as some of Jenni’s Real Housewife Friends Shannon Beador, Lisa Vanderpump, Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge. Finally, we discuss one of the most important contributions to society over the past decade, the WWHL Theme Song which Jenni co-wrote. We need ALL the details please! A fun filled episode with this fan fav.

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney have broken up. We analyze he breakup that rocked the BravoVerse - should we be shocked, were there warning signs, and how they are now, seemingly working on consciously uncoupling - still living together, lunch dates for the paparazzi, asking their VanderFriends to “not take sides”. In other news, we break down what is about to be a rough sophomore season for one Kathy Hilton over on RHOBH - the rumored “slurs”, trouble with both Erika Jayne and Rinna and much more.

There has been so much written in the past week about Bobby Boyd and Josh Flagg’s Breakup. Apparently, Josh has a new boyfriend, Bobby’s name is on the title to Josh’s new $9M house and much more. Are there any signs in this chat we had with Bobby just a few mere months ago. There is a reference to separate beds. As you listen, can you spot any foreshadowing? Million Dollar Listing’s Bobby Boyd steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Josh Flagg. However, there is much more to Bobby Boyd than his husband. Coming from humble beginnings, Bobby became a male model at the young age of 14 in order to help pay for college. Even though Bobby had early success as a fashion model woking for major designers such as Versace and Calvin Klein, he set his sights on something else when he arrived in Los Angeles, Real Estate. Having a keen eye for style, architecture, design and a “personable” rather than “transactional” approach, Bobby’s first home sale was that of a $6.5 million dollar property, not bad, and a new career was born. Bobby then met a man who shared his interests and profession who happened to, not only be one of LA’s top real estate agents, but also one of the long standing members of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. Bobby chats about meeting Josh, their instant chemistry and connection, his position working with Josh at Rodeo Realty, a flash mob proposal in Paris and wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel, both of which were filmed by Bravo. Bobby chats about that, Josh’s sometime over the top extravagant style, and what working with his spouse every day is like. When not busy with MDL-LA, Bobby can be seen on his very own Lifestyle You Tube Channel, “Bobby Boyd Living” or selling his brand new aprons which are stylish, edgy and fun (no really check out his on line store). Finally, Bobby also discusses MDLLA - how does his style differ from Josh’s, the Brtits, Altman, Tracy Tutor and Fredrik Eklund, the conflicts, those over the top open houses, celeb clients and last, but not least, when we can expect and what we can expect from the upcoming MDLLA Season Thirteen. @bboydla @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: WOOGA (“JUNE”S JOURNEY) - (Download “June’s Journey” Free Today on the Apple App Store or Google Play) OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

The founders of WeWork thought they were on the brink of making history. The company was valued at $47 billion dollars, ready for a huge IPO, and its charismatic CEO Adam Neumann believed he was going to change the world. Adam and his wife Rebekah had a prophet-like vision—but did it ever match the company's reality? Now the inspiration for a new AppleTV+ series starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway, WeCrashed: The Director’s Cut is a complete refresh of our original six-part series. Hosted by David Brown of the hit podcast Business Wars, this six-part series includes new interviews and new discoveries about the rise and fall of WeWork. It’s a story of hope and hubris, big money and bigger screwups, and the lengths people will go to chase “unicorns”!

With so much chatter about the new season of RHOP and a lot of internet fodder about one Candiace Dillard Basset’s future on the show, we felt it apropos to share our past chat with Miss Candiace Dillard. What are your thoughts? Would you like to see Candiace on RHOP next season? Candiace Dillard Bassett steps Behind The Rope. What a season she has just had on The Real Housewives of Potomac. Where to begin? We leave no stone left unturned in our discussion with Candiace regarding the physical altercation with Monique Samuels, which was THE central storyline seen this past season on RHOP. We go behind the cameras to discuss what was going through Candiace’s mind before, during and after the “hair drag” watched around the world. We discuss the emotions associated with the event, there are a wide range, and what the atmosphere was like on the set of RHOP for the rest of the season once this occurred. Candiace discusses the RHOP reunion, what we have already seen and can expect to see over the remaining weeks, and the closure she felt, once it was over, from the most drama filled season in the history of RHOP. Breaking the fourth wall, we discuss Bravo’s involvement, what, if anything, could have been done differently and what measures can or should be taken tp prevent something like this from happening again in the BravoVerse. As Candiace reflects back, we discuss how she feels now that she is on the other side of the season and what we can expect as the RHOP Reunion forges on. We also get a rare look into Candiace’s life growing up in the ATL, being a “Pageant Girl”, her current pursuit of her MBA at Howard University, and meeting Chris Bassett. Finally, being a fellow Pop Culture and TV junkie, (yes reality is included and yes she watched RHOP before being on it) Candiace reveals her love of all things Shonda Rhimes and bonds with David over Scandal, one of the best TV shows to ever exist. Kids, we are just getting started. After all, this is only Part I of our two part sit down with Candiace Dillard. @candeegal09 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: ELYSIUM HEALTH - www.trybasis.com/VELVET (10% Off At Checkout.

Carole is here to chat about many of the real life events which have taken place since our last chat - Joe Exotic being re-sentenced for Murder for Hire which could potentially lead to shorter jail time, his announcement that he is accepting applications in jail for a boyfriend, his desire for this search for love to become Netflix’ new break out show, “Bachelor King” - no really, Google it, and Joe’s ex boyfriend Dillon Passage’s own announcement that he has found love in the form of his new seemingly age appropriate, Instagram official, boyfriend John. Carole also chats about the new Peacock Series, “Joe VS Carole” starting John Cameron Mitchell (“Hedwig" Shout Out) as Joe Exotic and Kate McKinnon as Carole. Speaking of actresses to play Carole, the last time she was here she listed Meryl Streep as her top choice. We share an update on that - has she heard from Meryl and how did that conversation go? Finally, we all know Carole can dance a la Dancing With The Stars (yes, we chat Tyra!), but we get to know the most famous woman in all of Big Cat Rescue chatting about what she likes to do for fun, what is going on in the world of Big Cat Rescue today and just what is next for this fearless powerhouse that is unapologetically committed to her cause of Big Cat Rescue who won’t ever stop until all the cats are safe. Oh yea, an episode not to be missed! @carolebaskincat @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: ELYSIUM HEALTH - www.trybasis.com/VELVET (10% Off At Checkout.

Kim D. is back for her weekly #RHONJ recap and she is, as usual, holding nothing back. Double standard much? Tre doesn’t want anyone to talk about Luis, anytime, anywhere, ever. Whops. Guilty as charged. Not that Tre needs to worry about it because even on her best day, Luis isn’t intimidated by Marge. Mel ain’t none too happy 'bout the fact that Tre stayed with Jennifer after it got physical - we always knew that JAydin had it in her - and Frank Catania reminds us that none of us want Patterson Dolo to come out. Seems we are still trying to make sense of the viral vid that shook the Garden State while Jackie tries to deal with real life issues that are actually important. Of course, as usual, Kim spent the week digging up some real life behind the scenes dirt for y’all - who says Jennifer Aydin is the only one good at that - which she shares here today. Obviously, it involves Luis and Tre because, you wouldn’t want Kim D. any other way. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen to Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63301660/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

What an epic Sophomore Season of RHOSLC this has been and an even more epic RHOSLC Reunion. With everyone buzzing about Lisa Barlow, we figured it was a great time to share this chat we had with Lisa just one year ago. Have things changed? The more things change, the more they stay the same? Thoughts? Lisa Barlow, hot off the RHOSL finale, steps Behind The Rope (with special guest appearance by John Barlow). The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Lisa Barlow and we could not be more excited to chat with her about this new stellar addition to the franchise. After a brief background on Lisa, where she grew up, how she ended up in Salt Lake, where she met husband John Barlow, and all things Vida Tequila (yes kids, we have a new Housewives’ product!), we get right into all the current drama on the freshman season of RHOSL. Lisa explains which franchises she watched prior to being cast on the show, how she originally got involved in the show, why Salt Lake is the perfect location for a Real Housewives show and what other Bravolebrities and Housewives she heard from now that the show has aired. Lisa dives deep on her many year friendship with fellow cast mate Meredith Marks and is happy to discuss all of her new “friends” Jen Shah, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, and Whitney Rose. Lisa chats about who she thinks was authentically themselves during filming and was portrayed accurately now that the show has aired. She also chats about who loved the camera a little too much and brought the drama even when there was no drama needed to be brought. On that note, Lisa opens up about what what she thinks is the biggest misconception of herself, reflects back on some of the seasons already iconic moments and chats about what she plans, if anything, to do differently for Season Two. With our prodding, she addresses Vanderpump Rules Katie Maloney’s recent comments about her “Queen of Sundance” title that Jen Shah bestowed upon her. Thank you Lisa. Finally, we discuss the Vida Tequila event Bethenny Frankel attended back in the day and what she has to now say to the Skinnygirl Mogul. A true RHOSL extravaganza not to be missed. @lisabarlow14 @johnbarlow16 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: ELYSIUM HEALTH - www.trybasis.com/VELVET (10% Off At Checkout.

Adrienne chats fellow judges, guest stars and the time she was star struck by Paula Abdul when she stopped by! We take a trip down memory lane a la The Cheetah Girls and chat possible reunions and new music. Turning to her day job, Adrienne chats about “The Real” - recent guest co-host Kathy Hilton, permanent co-host Garcelle Beauvais and all that is going on in the world of RHOBH. Yes, of course we chat spoilers and drama that Garcelle may have spilled from this upcoming season which is currently now filming! As part of her day job, Adrienne deep dives on current Hollywood topics and we could not help but to ask her opinion on many of these such as Britney & Jamie Lynn, Bennifer and last, but certainly not least, what she thinks about BFF Kim Kardashian’s new relationship with BF Pete Davidson and if she will be attending the upcoming nuptials of one Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. Finally, we chat about whether she would ever join RHOBH with co-star and friend Garcelle Beauvais. @adriennebailon @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: ELYSIUM HEALTH - www.trybasis.com/VELVET (10% Off At Checkout.

Summer House! How did this show go from the “little show that could” to the blockbuster “fan fav” that it is today. Season Six. We break it all down - love triangles, looming weddings, on agains, off agains, new cast members, Andrea’s abs, Carl & Lindsey and much much more. In other news, we chat about the real life Potomac updates we have to share from our time in the DMV and the conflicting posts, texts, and rumors about whether Candiace Dillard Bassett will be returning next season to RHOP and who should actually go. Speaking of Potomac, we break the fourth wall to analyze how things have changed from the good ole days where filming starts right after a prior season’s end, such as current RHOBH and RHOSLC, and every other franchise which seems to be taking its sweet time to find the right mix of drama. Finally we chat about RHOSLC Jennie Nguyen’s exit and what actual metrics and standards Bravo seems to be using to determine who ends up “cancelled”.

Todd Bridges steps Behind The Rope. Fresh off his epic turn on this just completed season of Celebrity Big Brother, Todd is here to mention it all. Todd holds nothing back, his now infamous eye rolls and all, to break down his own game play, Todrick Hall’s game play which seems to have all of Pop Culture in a flutter, where he thinks it all went wrong for him, alliances, deception, Julie Chen, whether Todrick will now be “cancelled” in the real world, and what being in the house with two Real Housewives Cynthia Bailey and Teddi Mellencamp was like. Of course, we also deep dive into Todd’s breakout role as Willis Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes - what working on that show was like, highs/lows, famous guest stars like Janet Jackson and, of course, one of the most iconic sayings in TV sitcom history, “Watcha talkin’ bout Willis”. Todd opens up about life after Diff’rent Strokes ended - addiction, arrests, rock bottom and his road to recovery and sobriety which, as a result of Big Brother, has led to his new role of “Sobriety Coach” for Lamar Odom, late night Khloé Kardashian talks and all!

Perla chats about design, the state of the industry, trends, style, and much more. We deep dive into the home Reno for the Pippens, what Larsa was like as a client, and, of course, this current season of The Real Housewives of Miami. #RHOM shout out!

We always say to first year Housewives, don’t change. As y’all listen to this chat from one year ago with Whitney Rose, has she changed? Things certainly have changed in twelve short months. Before Mary Cosby was a thing of the past, before we even knew who Jennie Nguyen was, back when Meredith and Lisa were BFFs, we sat down with the one and only Whitney Rose. Whitney Rose steps Behind The Rope. In preparation for tonight’s conclusion to an epic 3 part reunion, Whitney is here to break down this freshman season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. After a brief discussion of Whitney’s life prior to the show - yea we wanted to know more about the woman behind what ya all have seen on TV over the past few months - we get right into it. Whitney is more than happy to discuss, and does not hold back in discussing, her close friendships, mere acquaintances and not so close friendships with cast mates Mary Cosby, Jen Shah, Meredith Marks, Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay. We will let you figure out which is which. We delve deep into all the seasons dramas discussing which were necessary and valid and which Whitney would never like to speak of again. Speaking of drama, we break down the reunion, part by part, analyzing whether any closure was achieved or rather fresh wounds were opened. Now that Season Two has been green lit, Whitney discusses what she predicts will transpire amongst her cast mates, what she would like to see change, and what she plans to do differently. Spoiler Alert, we here Behind The Rope have already heard tidbits from Season Two filming which we, of course, do our best to get Whitney to comment on. Hey, we are good like that.

There was a recent rumor that RHONY was not coming back which was started based on a statement made on this Podcast. Today we address that statement, how it went viral, the truth behind it and what we, in fact, actually know about the future of RHONY - if filming is likely to occur, when that filming will likely take place, when the cast is expected to be announced, who will be back, which OGs from the past are likely to return and many many more of your burning daily questions will be answered. Turning to our sisters across the river, we break down the RHONJ, what we know about this current season as it plays out, the truth behind many of the on line rumors of affairs, newbie Traci Lynn Johnson (with hubby legend Tiki, straight men rejoice), disputes and, almost, table flips a la Tre and Marge. Finally, we break down some of the newest entries into the Bravo Pod world, “Give Them Lala” sans that other man who she does not want named as well as the aptly titled “On Display” but the one and only, Miss Melissa Gorga. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FITON - (Text ROPE to 64-000 to join and work out for FREE!)

Tabatha Coffey steps Behind The Rope. She is back!! First, we cannot help but reminisce again about the Bravo days of yesteryear when Tabatha reigned supreme with her epic array of shows Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, Tabatha’s Takeover, Relative Success With Tabatha and, of course, the show that introduced us to this blond beauty, Shear Genius. We chat about the appeal Tabatha had to last on our TVs for so long, her signature tell it like it is / hold nothing back approach to hair and life, how Bravo has changed over the years to become the network it is today. With two seasons of RHUGT, we hypothesize which colleagues would be prime to join Tabatha in the non-housewives version of Girls Trip - Kathy Griffin, Rachel Zoe, Jeff Lewis, Patti Stanger, Jackie Warner - we are looking at you, discussing the pros and cons of each as a potential cast member. We also can’t help but throw around Paula Abdul’s name. After all, who can forget, Bravo’s “Hey Paula”. Tabatha weighs in on some of the current Bravo legal cases keeping us up at night - Erika Jayne & Jen Shah, discusses why someone would go on Reality TV if they had anything to potentially hide, and the allure and addiction of fame, one of the most powerful drugs. The last time Tab was here we asked if she would ever join RHONJ, seeing as she lives just across the river. We follow up on that chat with who she has heard from since we have put that out in the world. Andy Cohen we are talking about you. We also revisit Tabatha’s idea for an all gay Housewives - men and women, cancel culture and what the woman who everyone thinks is a B+tch does for fun when not running one of her many businesses. Of course, we couldn’t let her go without discussing hair, trends, fashions and whether a $10,000 Ponytail for the Met Gala was really necessary Kim Kardashian.

Kim weighs in as only Kim D. could on Teresa’s Greek getaway with Dina Manzo which turned into her engagement to Luis, their new $3.3M love nest, the degree and motivations of their love, the speed at which this all happened and the involvement of cameras. Speaking of cameras, Kim discusses the real life events that she is privy too behind the scenes of what we are watching each week on RHONJ and her own real life involvement behind the scenes in the upcoming Jennifer and Bill Aydin acheating storyline and details the call both her, and David, received regarding this matter. Finally, we chat Jackie, Dolo, Gorga and newbie Traci Lynn Johnson who brings along nice guy - yup we met him - NFL Legend Tiki Barber.

Kim D is back for another explosive RHONJ recap. As Kim says at the start of this chat, there is only one word that matters this week. G-I-A. We have watched her go from a child to a young woman and this week, Gia makes her official debut. Ok, she has been here all this time, but Gia, honey, you have our utmost attention! The convo quickly turns to Jennifer, her secret revealed, tears shed, what seems to be a “new” / actually old return of Miss Dolores (she was actually on her way to Kim’s house during this chat to “pick up some stuff” - we discuss), Jackie showing compassion, Margaret being Margaret and, oh yea, does anyone remember we technically have two “friends of” this season. Of course, in true Kim D. fashion she drops one hell of a bomb about Teresa and Luis’ WWHL appearance back stage during premiere night!

Cynthia Bailey steps Behind The Rope. Real Housewives Ultimate Girl’s Trip. RHUGT. Cynthia breaks it all down for us - what it was like to spend a week in Turks & Caicos with Ramona, Lu, Tre, Mel, Kyle and former cast mate Kenya, the drama she ensued causing "50 Cynt" to come out, who she grew closer and farther apart from, breaking the fourth wall and how production was different than Housewives and much more from this instant fan fav Housewives Franchise. Cynthia also chats about her departure from RHOA, how she feels now that she is no longer a Peach Holder, and reminisces on her highs and lows from her eleven year tenure of the show. Cynthia also chats the current RHOA cast - Marlo finally has her peach, the return of Shereé Whitfield, newbie Sanya Richards-Ross and the rumors of Nene wanting to possibly return.

Cynthia Bailey steps Behind The Rope. Real Housewives Ultimate Girl’s Trip. RHUGT. Cynthia breaks it all down for us - what it was like to spend a week in Turks & Caicos with Ramona, Lu, Tre, Mel, Kyle and former cast mate Kenya, the drama she ensued causing "50 Cynt" to come out, who she grew closer and farther apart from, breaking the fourth wall and how production was different than Housewives and much more from this instant fan fav Housewives Franchise. Cynthia also chats about her departure from RHOA, how she feels now that she is no longer a Peach Holder, and reminisces on her highs and lows from her eleven year tenure of the show. Cynthia also chats the current RHOA cast - Marlo finally has her peach, the return of Shereé Whitfield, newbie Sanya Richards-Ross and the rumors of Nene wanting to possibly return.

Y’all love our RHOBH chats with former RHOBH Kathryn Edwards so why not do the same with former RHONJ “Friend Of”, Kim D. Now that RHONJ is back in our lives, you know it is the only thing you want to talk about!! We break it all down sharing our deep thoughts about this past weeks Season Premiere “Smoke, Mirrors and Foggy Diamonds”. Tre is in love, love, love, Luis made a bizarre video, Jackie is cool, an episode would not be complete without a cameo from Big Frank, Jennifer gets a new nose, oversees, we learn new info about Bill Aydin, Margaret has a backbone and oh, so much more. Also, let us not forget Kim has real life ties to many of the current cast and even reveals how she herself was involved in the alleged Aydin infidelity. Whew, all this and we are only on episode one. In true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/posts/62140121 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We could not let this “revised” season of RHOC come and go without re-sharing one of our fav OC, heck, one of our fav chats ever with you, the one and only OG of the OC! The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps Behind The Rope. First Vicki fills us all in on what she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens. For those of you who don’t know, she bought a house in Mexico, had a stellar Whoop It Up Podcast (which BTVR appeared on), has been running Coto Insurance, and has just been enjoying time with her family (Steve, Michael, Brianna, Ryan & The Boys). Vicki and David discuss the trajectory of being a Housewife - the beginning (so hopeful), the middle (save your $), the inevitable end (Cue The Five Stages of grief). We discuss the concept of resigning and quitting versus being fired and let go. Vicki lets us know what advice she would give, not only to Season One Vicki, but other Housewives starting out and what she has learned throughout the years during her tenure on the hit Bravo show. Speaking of the beginning, Vicki and David discuss how much the show has changed since the beginning - the salaries, the vacations, the women, the drama! We discuss the involvement of producers and editing throughout the years and the concept of “reality” as it exists, or lack thereof, in any reality TV show these days. Vicki opens up about her highs and lows during her fourteen years on the show. We discuss the evolution of her relationships that we saw play out on national TV - Don, Brooks, Steve. Vicki discusses her relationships with Kelly Dodd (where she thinks it all went wrong), Tamra Judge (going strong), Shannon Beador (can it be repaired?) as well as RHOC past Jeana Keough, Meghan King Edmonds, Heather Durbrow and Alexis (“Jesus Jugs”) Bellino. Vicki is honest about what she misses the most about Housewives and answers the age old question, would you ever go back? Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma. Slade Smiley’s infamous comment and her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van? @vickigunvalson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: NATIVE - www.nativedeo.com/velvet (20% Off Your First Order.

Sally Jessy Raphael steps Behind The Rope. Icon in the Flesh. The first female host to have a syndicated daytime talk show. With her Iconic red glasses in tow, we chat with Sally about the full extent of her career. A career which began in radio and spanned several decades leaving a permanent mark and having created the landscape of daytime TV. Sally opens up about her best and worst guest, the topics she loved and did not love talking about, all of the celebrities she has interviewed, the cultural significance of being “the first" and just how much the industry has changed over the years. Speaking of being “the first”, we chat with Sally about some of the others she has paved the way for - Oprah (yes, we chat about the Meghan and Harry sit down), Ellen (yes, we chat about her mean girl reputation and the loss of 1 million viewers as a “supposed” result), Wendy Williams (and all she is going through), Drew Barrymore (newbie) Kelly Clarkson (is it an easy transition for actors and singers?), and last but certainly not least, Miss Bethenny Frankel (well, that was short lived.). Of course, we chat with Sally about The View - all the rumored back stage infighting, “Ladies Who Punch”, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Kelly & Ryan. Since we have an Icon in our presence, we discuss the late night talk show scene such as Daddy Andy Cohen’s WWHL and Joan Rivers’ infamous short lived stint. Remember we mentioned those iconic red glasses, we chat with Sally about the origins of her trademark look, how many pairs she actually has, does she ever go out incognito, and whether she ever tires of them. An unbelievable trip down memory lane with the pioneer herself, Miss Sally Jessy Raphael. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: NATIVE - www.nativedeo.com/velvet (20% Off Your First Order.

Isaac (Calpito) Boots steps Behind The Rope. Issac chats the full trajectory of his career from humble early beginnings, to early days in New York City on Broadway, to personal choreographer for Ariana Grande early on in both of their careers to THE destination go to fitness instructor for all of Hollywood’s elite, every real Housewife we love or love to hate, and everyone else in between, including YOU! Isaac is beloved amongst and befriended by his celeb clientele such as Kelly Ripa, Brooke Shields, Faye Dunaway (they attended the Oscars together), Gwyneth Paltrow, and Real Housewives such as two of our favs from both coasts Lisa Rinna and Ramona Singer. Of course, we ask Isaac to spill the tea on what each of these women are like both during a work out and socially - the good, the bad, the other. Isaac chats about how his career skyrocketed during quarantine as a result of offering his premiere training for free on line in exchange for donations to the “No Kid Hungry” Foundation. Isaac chats about how he built his signature “Torch’d” classes into a global brand and fitness empire of epic proportion which just landed him in Forbes Magazine. Finally, we chat about that time we ran into Isaac at “Kelly & Ryan” where Isaac got a lap dance from his (and our) Queen Madonna, his recent marriage (sorry guys, he’s taken) which was attended by Faye Dunaway and officiated by Kelly Ripa and just what is next for this fitness prodigy who will not be slowing down any time soon! @isaacboots @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: NATIVE - www.nativedeo.com/velvet (20% Off Your First Order.

In a rare Podcast appearance, Carole Radziwill steps Behind The Rope. After a brief chat with Carole about her career as a journalist, producer (3 Emmy wins) & NYT Best Selling author (shout out to "What Remains: A memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love”), we get into what y’all wanna chat about, The Real Housewives of New York City. Carole chats about her six year run on RHONY - the highs / lows, cast mates who have come and gone (Lu, Ramona, Dorinda, the Tins, Aviva & Much More), Adam!, and, if you have’t heard, the fact that she has never used, is not currently using and will never use a ghostwriter (shout out to "The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating”). Carole talks about one of the most shocking reunion moments ever - telling Andy Cohen he is full of sh*t and clarifies the truth behind her RHONY exit putting to bed once and for all whether it had anything to do with that reunion moment, her much publicized fall out and demise of her friendship with Bethenny Frankel or plethora of receipts of who said what, when and to whom she sent to production on the reg. We chat about whether Bethenny really is Andy’s “favorite”, what she got special treatment during her RHONY career and whether she should return to RHONY as cast or producer to fix the ratings slump. Carole chats about changes she would make to RHONY to increase ratings, who she would let go, bring back from the past, and whether serious topics like race and politics belong on TV. After all, she was ahead of her time with her very own political story line. Of course, we can’t help but ask if those suggested changes would involve her ever coming back. Listen to find out this plus a whole lot more rumors and myths clarified and set straight by the one and only Carole Radziwill, a guest that we have been chasing, stalking, and charming for quite a while to make an appearance here Behind The Rope! As they say, all good things come to those who wait.

Mary Cosby skipped the RHOSLC reunion. Was that her last act and statement to make it clear she quit RHOSLC, has she been formally fired, did she want to get fired? We break that and all the other season long RHOSLC drama down including the shocking revelation that RHOSLC cast members only make six thousand dollars per episode. We chat about Housewives' salaries over the years and what the future will likely look like in terms of Housewives’ pay days. Moving on, we break the fourth wall and address the recent media S storm from our recent viral episode with Kelly Dodd & Rick Leventhal. Speaking of RHOC, we chat about the return of Fancy Pants Dubrow, the recent accusations of “thirst” amongst newbies Jen and Noella, the plight of one Miss Shannon Beador, the comic relief of one Miss Gina Kirschenheiter and much more up to the minute news in the Housewives world that never sleeps.

Love hearing from y’all about who your fav RHOC from the past has been. Today we share another gem from our back catalogue, Lydia McLaughlin and her Mom, Judy Stirling. On the heels of the The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Season Premiere, Lydia McLaughlin and her Mom, Judy Stirling, step Behind The Rope. Lydia and Judy are here to talk about their new Bravo Web Show, Glitter Town. Lydia and Judy explain that Glitter Town is a new digital series of them spreading “positive vibes” while making normal everyday tasks fun, happy and, well, glittery. They even went to New York City to pitch the show in person at 30 Rock, Glitter Bombs and all. Of course, we couldn’t help but chat with Lydia about all her cast mates past: Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino, Gretchen Rossi, Peggy Sulahian and Lizzie Rovsek. We discuss what it was like to film the show with these women - the good, the bad, the highs, the challenges, her role as the “friendship whisperer” during her RHOC Seasons Eight and Twelve, and what the status of her relationships with each of them is like today. We also talk about the current RHOC and hear Lydia’s thoughts on Braunwyn, Gina, Emily, and newbie Elizabeth Vargas. We chat about why a Web Series was the right platform for this show, check in on Lydia’s family - Doug and the boys, and hear all the details from the Glitter Town Premiere Party such as which RHOC were in attendance. If you are wondering if Lydia and Judy are really really that happy and upbeat and positive alllll the time, well, listen in here! @oclydia @ocjudymom @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: PELOTON - www.onepeloton.com (Try Peloton App For Free For 2 Months - New Members Only) LUMINEUX - www.getlumineux.com/velvet (15% Off Your Order Today.

Lynda Erkiletian from The Real Housewives Of DC steps Behind The Rope. The Real Housewives of DC! As Andy Cohen once said directly to Lynda, “once a wife, always a wife.” We agree. We do agree. Originally, Linda explains, RHODC was pitched to her as a different type of non housewives show. Hmm, we have heard that before. Lynda explains how she was originally cast, when she found out it was in fact a Real Housewives show, and the reservations she had about joining the juggernaut franchise. She discusses the inevitable presence of politics in any show based in DC and the effect that had, not only on the season of RHODC that aired, but what a different show it would be if aired in the current political climate of today. Lynda also talks about the challenges both logistically and confidentially about casting and shooting in the political sector. Lynda expresses the disappointment in being the first of the housewives franchises to be cancelled. Of course, we discuss her cast mates Mary Amons, Cat Ommanney, Stacie Scott Turner and last, but certainly not least Michaele Salahi (now Schon), what filming with each was like, which relationships changed for the better and worse as a result of the show, and where each of those relationships stands today. We focus on what is was like to be part of a franchise that was “hijacked” by one cast maneuver for an event that made national headlines, was a breach of national security, almost shut down the whole production, involved the FBI, and, is most likely the reason why the show was cancelled. Michaele and Tareq Salahi. We go there. Lynda also gives us her thoughts and ideas on what the franchise would have been like if there had been a second season green lit without the Salahis. Whew - we gotta a lot to talk about.

Margaret Cho steps Behind The Rope. Comedian, Emmy Award Nominated Actress, Musician, Advocate, Entrepreneur, Artist and one of our personal favs. Margaret chats about the full anthology of her career which began by performing stand up near her parent’s book store in San Fran. Early success - appearing in the Golden Girl’s spinoff, opening for Jerry Seinfeld - led to a whole host of stand up brilliance - the Queen of the one woman show, and her own ABC show, “All American Girl” where she was told she was either “too asian” or “not asian enough” on the reg. We chat about how much times have changed and how “All American Girl” would have been received by both network execs and audiences today. Back on the road today, we chat live audiences as well as Margaret’s contemporaries and inspirations - Ellen DeGeneres and Joan Rivers to name a few. Of course we chat Reality TV, Margaret’s own VH1 reality show, “The Cho Show” as well as competing on both "Dancing With The Stars" and "The Masked Singer" - shout out to The Poodle! Having appeared in many of our fav shows, we discuss those appearances such as in Sex and The City as well as Margaret’s new Hulu YA Rom Com, “Sex Appeal” starring alongside the one and only Paris Jackson. Finally, we chat about her epic contribution to the LGBTQ+ community that has been evident since the beginning of her very prolific, brilliant and varied career.

Theresa Caputo steps Behind The Rope. She’s Bacck!!! We had so much fun with Theresa the last time she was here, we had to invite her back. This time, we attended her stellar “Theresa Caputo Live” show per her invite from our last chat and have some questions we need answered. During the two hour extravaganza, Theresa connects with Spirit to help provide answers, clarity and relief to various audience members “lucky enough” to have someone come though. We dive deeper into what exactly does The Long Island Medium see and hear as she walks around the audience providing various messages from “the other side”. One common theme evident from this stellar, emotional - make sure to bring tissues, shocking, comforting show was that Theresa is not there, or here, to make believers out of everyone. Her goal is to provide relief for those suffering. On that note, we chat with Theresa about her uncommon day job, the skeptics, the critics, and those who just do not believe in “something more”. We chat about some of the “you need to hear it to believe it” moments from her show where she revealed specific things about audience members that were so detailed, only a very close loved one would know. Yes, we have chills. Off course we also needed to know if Spirit ever came though in Theresa’s own life in compromising positions or on a date, how she handles personal family Spirits, what she can tell us about “the other side” and death - yea we took it deep, and just how this gift has affected her own life and life’s calling. For all the wondering, yup, Theresa is still on the road, coming to a city near you soon. Tickets are available now for a chance to bypass her epic wait list and get a reading in person!! Obviously, we could not help but ask The Long Island Medium, while we had her, if anyone was coming through for us. Tune in now to find out and to hear the reading she provided for BTVR here while live on air!! @theresacaputo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Tickets to Attend One of Theresa's Live Shows With The Chance of a Reading Click Here https://www.theresacaputo.com BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: PELOTON - www.onepeloton.com (Try Peloton App For Free For 2 Months - New Members Only) LUMINEUX - www.getlumineux.com/velvet (15% Off Your Order Today.

Lindsay Hubbard steps Behind The Rope. Summer House, Season 6. How did we get here? The OG herself stops by to chat the highs and lows, cast mates come and gone, regrets, friendships, feuds and of course, her eternal search for Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Right Now every summer in the Hamptons. That search is over, hopefully forever, and the Hamptons will never be the same as we discuss Lindsay’s recent revelation that yes, she is, in fact, dating Summer House co-star Carl Radke. Of course, we dish this current season of Summer House - love triangles a la Ciara / Austen and Andrea / Craig / Paige, newbies Alex and Mya, the parties bigger and better, our fav Southern Charmers in the house - literally, and, on a more serious note, Lindsay’s miscarriage which she chose to share with the world during last weeks Season Premiere.

Candace Bushnell steps Behind The Rope. With all this talk from behind the scenes on “And Just Like That”, we could not think of anyone better to sit down and chat about it all with than the woman who started it all! Candace starts at the beginning - just how much life changed when her regular column for “The New York Observer” and best selling “Sex and the City" Anthology was turned into an international blockbuster show of epic magnitude for HBO. Candace talks about this transition, Darren Star, the birth of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda - which are you?, and the casting of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon which has forever changed her, their and our lives for the better. Never has there been a show that integrated fashion and pop culture so well. Magnolia Cupcakes, Cosmos, and Manolo Blahniks have never looked the same since. Candace chats about her own fashion, Pat Field, the many men of “Sex” that came and went, and how her own love of New York City helped shape the Big Apple as the fifth lead character. We pay homage to many of Candace’s other NY Times Best Selling Novels such as The Carrie Diaries and Lipstick Jungle (Brooke Shields, anyone?). Of course we chat “And Just Like That”, the lack of Samantha and what really went on backstage between SJP and Ms. Cattrall. Being a permanent fixture on the scene in NYC and The Hamptons, Candace is friends with many a RHONY. We chat about The Real Housewives of NYC - who does she know, would she ever join, what type of Housewife would she be, being told "Not Well Bitch" by Dorinda - kinda and finally, is there any sex in her city? Thank you Ms. Bushnell.

Gretchen Rossi steps Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it has 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 Jeana Keough. Gretchen also discusses what she thinks about the exit of Vicki and Tamra and whether that friendship is real or for TV, just what went wrong with Last Season’s Fifteen, the exit of Kelly Dodd, and the return of one Miss Heather Dubrow. In other news, Gretchen has partnered with Lifevac (which protects your children from chocking emergencies), is a Mom (shout out to Skylar Gray Smiley) and Social Media Lifestyle Influencer (almost 1 million IG followers). With all that going on, we can’t help but ask the obvious, would you ever go back? @gretchenrossi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: INDEED - www.indeed.com/VELVET ($75 Job Credit to Upgrade Your Job Post.

Lea Black steps Behind The Rope. That is correct, the “Mayor of Miami” is here to chat about her time on The Real Housewives of Miami - the highs and lows, the epic fights, the various cast members she saw come and go during her full series run, and the untimely end which left BravoHolics asking “why”? Fear not, the RHOM Reboot is alive and well. We, once and for all, get a clear answer from Lea as to why she is not involved in the Reboot - was she asked?, did she turn Peacock down, or was she not asked? Finally, an answer! Fear not, all your inquires will be answered. Lea shares her thoughts about the Reboot, the returning full time cast members Alexia, Lisa and Larsa Pippen, the newbies Julia and Nicole, and returning “friends of” Marysol and Adriana who somehow seem to have been at every party in every scene of filming… We chat about Joanna Krupa’s statements on the Reboot, Larsa returning to TV after Keeping up with many of The Kardashians, and the public’s reaction to the return of this once cancelled franchise. Splitting her time between Miami and LA, we had to chat current RHOBH - did Erika know, should Erika stay on the show, Tom Girardi’s (who her attorney husband Attorney Roy Black and her knew) fall from grace and whether she would ever join the RHOBH cast, most of whom she knows and many of whom she calls friends. Lea is busy running her Lea Black Skincare empire and hosting her Lunch with Lea Podcast so thank you Ms. Black for taking the time for this epic chat about it all!! @leablackmiami @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Ever wonder why Lea looks so good? Well, after listening to this, you now know it’s because of Lea Black Skincare.

Everyone always asks us who are the nicest Housewives ever? Lynne Curtin is definitely on that list. Are y’all loving the new season of RHOC or longing for the vintage days of yesteryear? Check out this chat with had with Lynne back in what can now be considered vintage BTVR… The Real Housewives of Orange County's Lynne Curtin Steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from beautiful and sunny Orange Country, Lynne is here for some fun. Some fun and to tell it all. Let us start at the beginning. 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 also discuss how Lynne handled her newfound fame and the ramifications it had on her personal life. 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 Stephanie Hollman. It is the OC after all, so we had to get Lynne’s takes on her “friendships” with Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow. We couldn’t resist asking for #tea when we learned that her daughters knew some of the cast of Laguna Beach. It really is a small world. We discuss the departure of Vicki and Tamra and the current casting choices. Finally, no chat with Lynne Curtin would ever be complete without a discussion of her iconic, classic, one of a kind "Lynne Curtin Cuffs". Grab your oranges and kick back for a fun filled episode with the one and only Lynne Curtin. @lynnecurtindesigns_ @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Brought To You By: SHIPSTATION - www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Mike Hill steps Behind The Rope. He is back! First things first, we catch up with Mike on all that he has been up to since the last time he was here - Mike is the Morning TV Host Of “Start Your Day” and has taken up acting a la “Misunderstood”, a local LA play and the upcoming “Foster Law” in which he plays Judge Earl Johnson. Mike talks about his best selling book, “Open Mike” which was the cathartic journey he needed in life to clear mental health, a topic often stigmatized amongst “straight bros”, particularly straight hetero men of color. Mike also chats about what it was like to celebrate his recent past one year wedding anniversary. Mike talks married life to Cynthia - the challenges, how these two lovebirds keep the spark alive, and what is the best thing about being married. Of course, the convo quickly turns to Mike and Cynthia’s life after The Real Housewives of Atlanta now that Cynthia has announced she will not be holding a peach when RHOA returns next season. Mike chats about highs and lows from their several year run on the hit Bravo franchise, his and Cynthia’s feelings about the end, what he will miss the most and least about filming with our fav Peach Holders, and the TRUTH behind Cynthia’s exit. Finally, last but certainly not least, we chat about what is next for Team Chill, where they will live now that they don’t need to be at Lake Bailey to film on a regular basis, and just what is next for Mike, and Cynthia. Might we see them back on Reality TV sooner than we all expected? Tune in to fine out. Thank you Mr. Hill for stopping by and being, well, an “Open Mike” (Available everywhere books are sold!). Much to our surprise and excitement, Mrs. Cynthia Bailey made a guest cameo appearance to discuss Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (#RHUGT) - the unexpected friendships, fights and drama, the appearance of “50 Cynt” and where she stands now with out fav Island OG’s (yes Tre, we are giving this one to Melissa) @itsmikehill @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Brought To You By: SHIPSTATION - www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

Kelly Dodd Leventhal and Rick Leventhal step Behind The Rope. Finally! Kelly and Rick chat about all that they have been up to since we last saw them on our television screens on RHOC. Of course, many of you know what they have been up to because this dynamic duo has been causing headlines everywhere they have gone over the past few months. Kelly opens up about the real reasons behind her RHOC exit, her real life drama with some orange holders past and present such as Heather Dubrow, Vicki Gunvalson, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Tamra Judge - to name a few, and the many highs and lows she encountered throughout her tenure on the RHOC. Kelly and Rick chat about their “take no prisoners” attitude, the many on line trolls who come for them daily, their authentic realness to be true to themselves no matter what the cost, their polarizing beliefs and carefree attitude, the many misconceptions about themselves and just how they have turned the public’s vitriol toward them into a booming podcast aptly titled, “Unmasked”. Of course, we also chat current season RHOC, their thoughts on the return of Heather Dubrow and newbies Noella Berenger and Jennifer Armstrong and who amongst Shannon, Gina and Emily, they are still close to. Finally, we talk about why these two are soul mates who enjoy working and living together each day ready to take on the world, one troll, or “Unmasked” Podcast listener at a time.

How do you feel about the return of Heather Dubrow this season on RHOC? Has Fancy Pants saved the franchise? How about Shannon Beador? Is the end near? Remember a simpler time, when RHOC still had the likes of Vicki and Tamra and gang. Remember Peggy Tanous, the one season wonder who had a LOT to say. If not, check this out! The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Peggy Tanous steps Behind The Rope. The original Peggy from the OC. Speaking of Peggys, Peggy Tanous know the other Peggy, Bravo’s 100th Housewife Peggy Sulahian. Is the OC really that small a place? We discuss Peggy’s friends and past Orange Holders Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Lynn Curtin, Lauri Peterson and Lizzie Rovsek. What a trip down memory lane and yes Peggy knows them all. How fun. Peggy also recounts her friendship with Alexis (“Jesus Jugs”) Bellino before they were on RHOC together, how Alexis and Jim Bellino were involved in her being cast, the issues she had filming with her during their season, how the show changed their friendship and the status of their relationship today. We reminisce on how RHOC has changed throughout the years and how it is no where near the show it was way back in the day. Is that a good or bad thing? Peggy opens up about the best and worst part of being a Real Housewife of Orange County and whether she would go back again. Finally we the discuss the evolution of Vicki (Don, Brooks, Steve) and Tamra (Simon, Eddie), the aftermath of their absence and how the franchise will fair without these two staples going forward. @ocpeggytanous @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free & Up To 40% Off Bundles) Brought to you by SHIPSTATION - https://www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

Remember when Mary and Christine were friends, everyone was buzzing about the fact that Mary dated Jason, that Mary was Jason’s favorite, and we had numerous gratuitous shirtless scenes with Romain. We chatted with Mary Fitzgerald during that time and wanted to share with you here today. Do things change this much in your own life in one year? Mary Fitzgerald from Selling Sunset Steps Behind The Rope. First things first, Mary works all the time, like, a lot, so thank you Mary for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us. Mary starts at the beginning - why she got her Real Estate License and how she started working at the Oppenheim Group. The beginning also includes meeting and dating owner Jason Oppenheim and her BFF Amanza Smith. Mary takes us through the evolution of how Selling Sunset went from a possible idea to the juggernaut that it is today. Mary shares how she got used to the cameras, what filming was really like and how she thinks the show and cast has evolved over the course of Seasons 1 and 2. Speaking of the cast, we also discuss Mary's current relationships with costars Chrishell, Davina, Heather, Maya and last, but certainly not least, Christine. Then there is Romain. Ahh, Romain. Give us a minute. On a more serious note, Mary lets us know what the current stats of the Real Estate Market is in LA and the effects she expects Corona to have on that. Of course, no Selling Sunset discussion would be complete without discussing our love for Executive Producer Adam DiVello and his Masterpieces, The Hills and Laguna Beach. Mary agrees.

After making two rare appearances on our Podcast this year (when is the last time you saw the Countess on a Pod), we had to pay it forward and would not have missed the return of the legend, Countess Lu, to her home at 54 Below in her brand new “A Very Countess Christmas” Cabaret. “Viva La Diva”, the Countess is back! We break down the entire show - the songs, the crowd, the celeb guest appearances, the attendance of Miss Ramona Singer & Miss Leah McSweeney, backstage in the “green room” with Leah and Lu, & the sequins. Lu was definitely “Feelin’ Jovani”, as she did what only the Countess can do. “Money Can’t Buy You Class”, but it can buy you a ticket to this show. If you did not get a chance to attend this sold out residence at Lu’s home away from home, 54 Below, “Chic C’est La Vie”, there is always next year! @talktometaylor @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free & Up To 40% Off Bundles) Brought to you by SHIPSTATION - https://www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

The Real Housewives of Miami’s Karent Sierra steps Behind The Rope. Karent, dentist extraordinaire, fills us in on what she has been up to since we last saw her our our TV screens. Besides running her dental practice, Karent has been helping those less fortunate than herself around the world through her Sharing Smiles Foundation. Ok, on to what everyone wants to talk about, The Real Housewives of Miami. Karent discusses what it was like to watch her friends on the show during its freshman season before she herself was cast for the stellar Season Two. She also explains her reservations on joining the show and why she ultimately decided to become a full time cast member. She explains how she was almost a full time host on “The Doctors”, the Power of Bravo and how her DM’s fill up every time Bravo airs an RHOM Marathon. Imagine what they are now that RHIOM is back in out lives on a regular basis on Peacock. Of course we discuss Karent’s colleagues Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, Lisa Hochstein, Anna Quincoces and last, but certainly not least, Joanna Krupa. We discuss the good, the bad, the other and where her relationship with each stands today. We address the fact that these very same colleagues accused her of smiling too much during her season. Umm, did we miss the memo? Is that a bad thing? Speaking of her cast members, Karent gives us her opinions on who changed the most since the show, who was thrilled to have the ever presence of cameras in their life, who was the most “different” on air when the cameras were rolling versus what they were like in real life, and who was the meanest of the “mean girls”. Karent lets us know what she learned about herself and life from filming RHOM and what she would do different, if anything, if given the chance to do it all over again. Speaking of “all over again” we discuss the Reboot with Karent - at the time of this recording not yet a definite - and why this fan favorite franchise was gone way too soon. @karentsierra @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TRUEBILL - https://www.truebill.com/velvetrope (Start Cancelling Unwanted Recurring Subscriptions Now!

Beth Stolarczyk steps Behind The Rope. The Real World: Los Angeles’ Beth that is. Beth chats about what it was like almost three decades ago to have been part of the second installment in the Granddaddy of Reality TV, The Real World. Beth chats about how the LA season invented many things we have now come to take as gospel in Reality TV - the confessional, the reality pet and the first ever person, David Edwards, to be “kicked off” a reality show. Beth chats about the David / Tami drama, her use of the word “rape”, why she was the room mate her cast mates, and America, just “loved to hate” and how this would all hold up now, three decades later. On that note, after the juggernaut success of Paramount Plus' New York installment last year, The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles has arrived, reuniting Beth with her former house mates in the same Venice Beach House. Streaming now! Beth chats about how this experience was different, the drama we can expect as the season progresses and just how much Reality TV has changed. Being a huge Bravo fan, Beth chats Housewives, the Real World inspired Summer House and Winter House, Bravo real world alum Cameran Eubanks (RW New Orleans and Southern Charm Shout Out), Erika Jayne, Jen Shah and much more as we Mention It All! @bethsrealworld @eyelusionlashes_beverlyhills @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Brought to you by WONDERY’S HARSH REALITY (Follow “Harsh Reality:The Story of Miriam Rivera” on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or you can listen early and ad free by joining Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery App) Brought to you by SIMPLISAFE - https://www.simplisafe.com/velvetrope (40% Off your entire system!)

Selling Sunset Season Four! We have waited patiently and then waited some more. Finally, one of the best reality shows to ever exist has returned! Today we revisit a chat we had last year with the man himself, Mr. Jason Oppenheim. Back before Chrishell, we chat with a very single Jason. How quickly things change. Jason Oppenheim Steps Behind The Rope. Jason fills us in on the current state of he market in Los Angeles before diving into the hottest show of the moment, Selling Sunset. Jason discuss his reservations before signing on to the show, what finally changed his mind and getting used to the presence of cameras in the office and while doing deals. Jason also chats about the effect Selling Sunset has had on both his professional as well as his personal life. We discuss the Oppenheim Group office drama and what Jason thinks of the womens' disputes on and off camera. Of course we asked Jason for his opinions on all of his employees Heather, Maya, Amanza, Davina, Chrishell, Christine and last but certainly not least, Mary. Speaking of Mary, Jason explains how he and Mary first met and whether he truly favors her, which seems to be the consensus amongst the other agents. Jason tells us about the one time he showed a house to Ariana Grande and what transpired between the two. He also answers one of life's most pressing questions, will he ever settle down? On a personal note, we also had to pay homage to the king, Executive Producer of Selling Sunset Adam DiVello, thank you 100 times over also for The Hills and Laguna Beach. @jasonoppenheim @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by AUDIBLE - https://audible.com/projecthailmary (Listen to Audible’s “Project Hail Mary”) Brought to you by RITUAL - https://ritual.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off During Your First Three Months) Brought to you by RAYCON - https://www.buyraycon.com/velvet (15% Off Site Wide - Use Code “Holiday”) Brought to you by SKYLIGHT FRAME - http://www.skylightframe.com ($10 Off Your First Purchase - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by CALIBRATE - https://www.joincalibrate.com ($50 Off First Year - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by OMAZE - https://www.omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “velvetrope20”) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick Lachey and the boys from 98 Degrees, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre step Behind The Rope. Having sold over ten million records worldwide, topping the Billboard Hot 100 with eight singles including the Number One hit with Mariah Carey, “Thank God I Found You”, 98 Degrees reflects back on the highs and lows of a stellar career that seems hotter than ever these days. That’s correct, Nick and the boys have brand new music in the form of the single “Where Do You Want To Go” which they will continue to perform on live dates throughout the rest of 2021. 98 Degrees chat about the inevitable comparisons to the other chart topping bands at the time NSYNC, NKOTB, BSB and B2M. The boys pay homage to their many side projects none the least of which was Newlyweds, the Reality Show of global international success and many viral moments of epic proportion. We pick Nick’s brain on what Hollywood Couple he thinks is prime for a Modern Day Newlyweds and the answer is not what you would expect. Calling MTV! The 98 side projects also include the family affair that was Dancing With The Stars. Sorry Nick, and Vanessa (Lachey), we will have to give it to Drew on this one. #mirrorballchamp #dwtsseasontwo We chat with 98 about dream collabs, meeting Michael Jackson, opening for Janet Jackson, Nick’s current Fox show “Alter Ego”, what their millions of adoring fans can expect from their mostly sold out year end live shows, and when can we expect more new follow up music to the brilliant “Where Do You Want To Go”. Of course before we let the boys go we had to pay homage to those brilliant, never to be forgotten 90s fashions. @98degrees @nicklachey @thedrewlachey @jefftimmons @jeffre.justin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by AUDIBLE - https://audible.com/projecthailmary (Listen to Audible’s “Project Hail Mary”) Brought to you by RITUAL - https://ritual.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off During Your First Three Months) Brought to you by RAYCON - https://www.buyraycon.com/velvet (15% Off Site Wide - Use Code “Holiday”) Brought to you by SKYLIGHT FRAME - http://www.skylightframe.com ($10 Off Your First Purchase - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by CALIBRATE - https://www.joincalibrate.com ($50 Off First Year - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by OMAZE - https://www.omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “velvetrope20”) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

It was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be. But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact that Miriam is trans. A new six-episode investigative series from Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and The Apology Line, and from Novel, HARSH REALITY is the story about love, lies, reality TV and a woman before her time: Miriam Rivera.

90210’s Gabrielle Carteris steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Andrea Zuckerman is here!!! Ok, ok, we DO know the difference between Gabrielle Carteris and Andrea Zuckerman. Gabrielle is here to chat about her full career and the role she is most iconically known for in 90210. Gabrielle talks about what the audition process was like, how she got the role and what it was like being on a hit Aaron Spelling teen nighttime soap. We talk what it was like to fake her age of 21 to get the job and to play a 15 year old teenager when she was 29 years old. We chat about her costars - no last names needed - Shannen, Tori, Jennie, Brian, Jason, Luke, and Ian and all those rumors from back in the day on set - the “red dress” catfight, the BTS hook ups, and, of course, Shannen Doherty and her “bad girl” reputation. We talk about Shannen’s exit, her replacement Tiffani Thiessen, guests stars such as Oscar Winner Hillary Swank, her pregnancy being written into the show, and her exit at the end of Season Five. Flash forward, and Gabrielle talks about what being the President of SAG-AFTRA (and now first American President of FIA) was like, her many celebrity run-ins / colleagues, and backstage shenanigans from the esteemed SAG Awards. As busy a job as that is, Gabrielle found herself moonlighting in 2019 when Tori and Jennie came a callin’ for the reboot, BH90210, when the entire original cast signed on to play heightened versions of themselves. Gabrielle opens up about that bittersweet reunion due to Luke Perry’s passing as well as how hard it is to watch friends go through tough times - “True Tori”, Shannen’s current health, and so on. Finally, we reflect back on 90210 and its blockbuster cultural effect that we are still, and will forever be talking about, all these years later. @gabriellecarteris @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free & Up To 40% Off Bundles) Brought to you by SHIPSTATION - https://www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

Charli Burnett steps Behind The Rope. Vanderpump Rules, Season Nine. Charli chats all about the new season of Pump Rules - how it was different for her, filming without OG’s Stassi, Jax and Kristen, being the only one in the group whose significant other isn’t a regular part of the show, and her ever changing relationships with cast mates. She weighs in on some of life’s most pressing questions - the validity of “share plate” charges, Schwartz & Sandy’s, Raquel Leviss’ statement that Katie Maloney is bored in life, the necessity of an engagement ring from Tiffany’s, the fact that Summer Moon has more IG followers than all of us, working at SUR for Lisa Vanderpump and much more. Charli shares an update on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s relationship that has been the subject of much tabloid fodder over the past few weeks. Charli opens up about her food issues, as seen this season on VPR, her decision to show her vulnerable side on Bravo and how the public and her cast mates have reacted. Of course, last but certainly not least, we had to ask if she has, in fact, now still never eaten pasta. @charliburnett @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free & Up To 40% Off Bundles) Brought to you by SHIPSTATION - https://www.shipstation.com (60 Day Free Trial.

In a rare Podcast appearance, Carole Radziwill steps BACK Behind The Rope. After a brief chat with Carole about her career as a journalist, producer (3 Emmy wins) & NYT Best Selling author (shout out to "What Remains: A memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love”), we get into what y’all wanna chat about, The Real Housewives of New York City. Carole chats about her six year run on RHONY - the highs / lows, cast mates who have come and gone (Lu, Ramona, Dorinda, the Tins, Aviva & Much More), Adam!, and, if you have’t heard, the fact that she has never used, is not currently using and will never use a ghostwriter (shout out to "The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating”). Carole talks about one of the most shocking reunion moments ever - telling Andy Cohen he is full of sh*t and clarifies the truth behind her RHONY exit putting to bed once and for all whether it had anything to do with that reunion moment, her much publicized fall out and demise of her friendship with Bethenny Frankel or plethora of receipts of who said what, when and to whom she sent to production on the reg. We chat about whether Bethenny really is Andy’s “favorite”, what she got special treatment during her RHONY career and whether she should return to RHONY as cast or producer to fix the ratings slump. Carole chats about changes she would make to RHONY to increase ratings, who she would let go, bring back from the past, and whether serious topics like race and politics belong on TV. After all, she was ahead of her time with her very own political story line. Of course, we can’t help but ask if those suggested changes would involve her ever coming back. Listen to find out this plus a whole lot more rumors and myths clarified and set straight by the one and only Carole Radziwill, a guest that we have been chasing, stalking, and charming for quite a while to make an appearance here Behind The Rope! As they say, all good things come to those who wait.

We chat about what would you do and just how different would it be if you were given a second chance? Something interesting to ponder as you listen in…. A few months after The Real Housewives of Orange County finale, with production on the new season halted until further notice (thank you Corona), David checks in with the 100th Housewife, RHOC's Peggy Sulahian. From her early days in the OC, to her car loving husband Diko (Peggy is a Ferrari girl), to her double mastectomy, learn more about the real woman behind the facade of what the audience saw on Bravo. Of course, the conversation quickly turns to all things RHOC. Casting, production, filming, the epic Iceland vacation, nothing is off limits in this sit down with Peggy (she really is good at speaking her mind, people). As far as fellow cast mates go, there is the good (Vicki, Lydia), the not so good (everyone else?) and then there is that time Peggy physically closed Meghan King Edmonds' mouth because, well, she was talking too much.

Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg. The Shrink Next Door is now an Apple Original series, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Watch now only on Apple TV+.

Charlene Tilton steps Behind The Rope. Yes, little Lucy Ewing all grown up. Charlene is here to chat about the full anthology of her career and what it was like being part of one of the most Iconic shows of all time, Dallas.

Countess Luann de Lesseps steps back Behind The Rope. The Countess has returned and, once again, in true Countess fashion, does not disappoint. The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. RHUGT! We have waited patiently and now it has finally arrived. Luann chats RHUGT cast mates, drama, who surprised her the most, being on vacation with Ramona Singer, and last, but certainly not least, the shocking revelation that Bethenny Frankel allegedly set up the picture of Tom at The Regency (as discussed on RHUGT). In other words, we needed the tea. Of course, Luann opens up about last season of The Real Housewives of New York City and chats about the future of the show - the highs and lows of season thirteen, how the season ended, current casting rumors, the future of RHONY and when we, the public, might finally hear something solid, real, and official regarding Season 14. Of course we also discuss Luann’s current show, “A Very Countess Christmas”, which kicks off where it all began, at 54 Below on November 30th for eight dates and continues throughout the end of the year. Luann teases what we can expect in her new cabaret and what RHONY and other Housewives we can expect to pop up as she hits the road. The Countess is back doing what she does best because life is, always has been, and always will be a cabaret. @countessluann @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef For tickets to “A Very Countess Christmas” visit https://www.countessluann.com BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by SKYLIGHT FRAME - http://www.skylightframe.com ($10 Off Your First Purchase - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by SIMPLISAFE - https://www.simplisafe.com/velvetrope (20% Off Entire New System & First Month Free) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Brought to you by WONDERY’s OPERATOR - Listen Now at http://wondery.fm/OP_Behind_The_Velvet MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Arden Myrin steps Behind The Rope. Arden is back to help us make sense of everything Real Housewives. Of course, this past season of RHOBH and Erika Jayne is a great place to start - what she knew, her reunion “performance”, social media, Bethenny Frankel and Camille Grammer’s claims they knew of Tom Giardi’s financial woes, Sutton being the only one with a voice this past season and much more. The convo quickly turns to other legal matters, namely one Jen Shah and this season of RHOSLC. We break down Jen’s case, how it compares to Erika’s in terms of seriousness and viewer interest plus other pressing matters from our fav snow birds - the obsession with Brooks’ sexuality, Lisa Barlow’s friendship loyalties, Mary’s beloved Church and much more. We also discuss the shocking decision by Bravo to cancel the RHONY reunion, the future of RHONY and whether other last season “off” franchises such as RHOC and RHOA can come back with a bang. Speaking of shows that need an infusion of a bang we discuss the current season of Vanderpump Rules plus one of Arden’s favs, Below Deck. Finally, we pay homage to all things Arden - her starring role on Netflix’ Insatiable with Queen Alyssa Milano and Debbie Ryan, her hilarious book “Little Miss Little Compton”, her epic Bachelor Nation Podcast “Will You Accept This Rose”, her new movie with Kevin Bacon and, last but certainly not least, an update on her road to The Amazing Race as team “Razzle Dazzle” with BFF new Dad, Lance Bass. @ardenmyrin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus & Ad Free Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free) Brought to you by CALIBRATE - https://www.joincalibrate.com ($50 off First Year - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Brian Dunkelman steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Brian Dunkleman. You have heard, read and imagined so much about his “story”, but today Brian is here to chat about the full trajectory of his career before hosting American Idol during its break out first season alongside that other host we have all gotten to know so well. Brian discusses how he got the Idol co-host gig, what he liked best / least, working alongside Ryan Seacrest - there we said his name, judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, and the true circumstances surrounding his departure. Brian opens up about going from a stand up comedy career to the height of fame almost overnight, with over thirty million people watching each week, back into being “unknown”, for lack of a better word. We break down the psyche behind that, the highs and lows of life - the lows were low, the concept of fame and just how addicting it can be, the public’s perception of him as making “THE colossal mistake”, and the ins and outs of real life challenges and highs he faced along the way. Brian analyzes current singing show competitions and addresses whether they work anymore, whether he is “in” on “the joke”, and the viral headline when TMZ reported he was an Uber Driver. Finally, we discuss his brilliant new documentary “Dunkleman” where he urges people to comedically “Google His Name”, the biggest misconceptions about him, and what we will all be shocked to learn from this new film! @thebriandunkelman @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus & Ad Free Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free) Brought to you by CALIBRATE - https://www.joincalibrate.com ($50 off First Year - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

On the heels of lasts night’s explosive Jen Shah RHOSLC showdown that we have waited all season to see, Meredith Marks steps Behind The Rope. She is back. RHOSLC, Season Two. How did we get here? We waste no time in chatting with Meredith about all this season's dramas both on and of screen - “Catergate”, newest RHOSLC wife Jennie Nguyen and her potential Sister Wife, Whitney Rose / Lisa Barlow - friends or frenemies?, Heather’s Gay’s empty nest, accusations that Mary M. Cosby is in a cult, Mary M. Cosby’s declaration that she would like to change Robert Sr. to “fit her needs” and oh, so much more. Of course, Meredith also discusses one of her central storylines, Jen Shah’s social media behavior toward Brooks and the status of all parties’ relationships today. Of course, speaking of Jen Shah, we break down the epic van scene, Meredith’s WWHL statements implying she may have called the Feds on Jen, what it was like to film with Jen in real time as her legal drama was unfolding, and what we can expect to see the rest of this season. Finally, we discuss why, as an audience, we captivated with watching both RHOBH’s Erika Jayne and Jen Shah’s legal woes play out on Housewives and find both stories to be so fascinating we just cannot seem to get enough. Meredith discusses whether she would film under these circumstances, the casts’ reaction to the epic van raid and what we can expect as the season rolls on and we head into the reunion. Thanks Meredith for chatting RHOSLC Season Two in all its glory!

Emily D Baker steps Behind The Rope. Our fav legal commentator, and former LA Deputy District Attorney, is here to break down the legal woes of one Mr. and Mrs, soon to be exes, Erika and Tom Girardi. So much has happened in the Erika & Tom case since Emily was last here, we don’t even know where to begin. Emily helps us make sense of all the legal aspects of this case - the divorce, the bankruptcy, the $25M, Erika’s potential liability if she knew, Ronald Richard’s recent offer to match 10% of whatever Erika voluntarily returned, the likelihood the victims will ever be paid, the likelihood Erika will face jail time if she is found guilty of any crimes, the likelihood Erika will have a similar lifestyle when all is said and done, the projected timeline of how much longer this case will continue to dominate our lives and so on. The condo quickly turns to this season of RHOBH & The Reunion - Erika’s demand for undying loyalty, Rinna’s double standard, Sutton’s newfound voice, Sutton’s bodyguard, whether Erika is “using” the show to rewrite history with a different narrative and her potential weekly admissions of potential guilt, should she be found guilty, by staying a member of the cast. Of course, we discuss the recent claims that Camille Grammer was told of the Girardi’s financial troubles at Andy’s baby Shower by one of her closest friends on the show rumored to be Kyle and Bethenny Frankel’s claims that she knew - after all doesn’t the B “Know It All”. Finally, Emily looks head to next season of RHOBH discussing the likelihood that Erika will be back and what her future looks like with Bravo under scenarios of potential guilt and innocence. The episode you have been waiting for all season!. Time to legally make sense of it all! From one lawyer to another, thank you Emily.

With all this talk about an “off season” of RHONY and all the cries to bring back the good ‘ole days, we figured it was the perfect Flashback Friday to share another one of our favs, this chat with Kristen Taekman about the good ole days of RHONY! Everyone loved our chat with Carole Radziwill earlier this week, so we figured it was time to re-share this one. The Real Housewives of New York City’s Kristen Taekman steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from beautiful Connecticut, Kristen is here to tell it all. First we catch up with Kirsten on the current status of her Fashion Blogging and fashion trends we can all expect in the world as it exists today. Ok, now onto what everyone wants to talk about, RHONY. We discuss Kristen’s thoughts on RHONY before being cast, what her casting process was like and how she feels she was edited for the two seasons she was on the hit Bravo show. Kristen discusses Bethenny and what watching the show without her is like. Speaking of Bethenny, Kristen’s children go to the same school as Bryn and she tells us about several Bethenny, and Jason Hoppy (whaaaat?), sightings during school events. We also discuss her friendship with RHONY Housewives past such as Jill Zarin and Heather Thomson. Kristen also shares her thoughts on current RHONY cast members, her being a huge Leah McSweeney fan, and, having both seen her cabaret, Kristen and David discuss the joy that is Countess and Friends. Also, let us not forget that both Kristen and David were at the Hamptons party last summer that Ramona pushed Gizelle out of the picture at so they recount that fateful day, the before, during and shocking after. Speaking of Ramona. Kristen responds to Ramona’s statements several weeks back about her and former RHONY Cindy Barshop being “nobodies”. Do tell!!! On a larger scale, we discuss the growing presence of alcohol on RHONY and whether it is time for a cast shake up. Let us not forget one of Kristen’s IRL BFFS is Brandi Glanville!! We discuss what Kristen was told first hand from Brandi and how she feels watching it all unfold each week on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Talk about an episode not to be missed.

Fran Drescher is back!!!. No your eyes are not deceiving you. Fran Drescher for a second epic chat! After all, you would recognize that voice anywhere as it is one of the most iconic in Hollywood history. Actress, Comedian, Writer, Best Selling Author, Activist, Gay Icon and the list goes on and on and on. Fran Drescher stops by to chat, much to our delight, all things “The Nanny”. We chat about the original series, the rumored reboot, her recent comments about Cardi B. as the perfect choice to play the Nanny, other actresses she has her eye on and the importance of diversity and inclusion in any sitcom green lit today. Fran also chats about The Nanny’s journey to Broadway, when we can expect to see The Nanny on “The Great White Way” and what she predicts for the return of Broadway later this year. Of course we talk to Fran about her short lived talk show - “The Fran Drescher Tawk Show”, her thoughts on current Talk Shows like The View, the sitcom she had in development with Rosie O’Donnell about two friends coping with a mid life crisis - “The New Thirty”, her real life friendship with Rosie who is spending the summer in Malibu near Fran, and last but not least, her cousin’s appearance on a little show known as The Real Housewives of New York City - Miss Aviva Drescher we are talking to you. Of course we ask Fran if she would ever consider joining RHOBH, her thoughts on reality TV and what what she thinks about actresses like Lisa Rinna as Housewives. Another moniker we can use to describe Fran is Cancer Survivor. Fran has dedicated and continues to dedicate her time to through her Cancer Schmancer organization. For those interested in donating to this potential life saving cause, see the link below. Be sure to pay special attention to the last few minutes of this epic chat.

American Telnet was an empire founded by the man who called himself “The Telephone Pimp.” He ran the company “like General Motors” and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the calls and delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface, until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?), OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-level corporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution...and on the front lines of a sexual one.

In a rare Podcast appearance, Carole Radziwill steps Behind The Rope. After a brief chat with Carole about her career as a journalist, producer (3 Emmy wins) & NYT Best Selling author (shout out to "What Remains: A memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love”), we get into what y’all wanna chat about, The Real Housewives of New York City. Carole chats about her six year run on RHONY - the highs / lows, cast mates who have come and gone (Lu, Ramona, Dorinda, the Tins, Aviva & Much More), Adam!, and, if you have’t heard, the fact that she has never used, is not currently using and will never use a ghostwriter (shout out to "The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating”). Carole talks about one of the most shocking reunion moments ever - telling Andy Cohen he is full of sh*t and clarifies the truth behind her RHONY exit putting to bed once and for all whether it had anything to do with that reunion moment, her much publicized fall out and demise of her friendship with Bethenny Frankel or plethora of receipts of who said what, when and to whom she sent to production on the reg. We chat about whether Bethenny really is Andy’s “favorite”, what she got special treatment during her RHONY career and whether she should return to RHONY as cast or producer to fix the ratings slump. Carole chats about changes she would make to RHONY to increase ratings, who she would let go, bring back from the past, and whether serious topics like race and politics belong on TV. After all, she was ahead of her time with her very own political story line. Of course, we can’t help but ask if those suggested changes would involve her ever coming back. Listen to find out this plus a whole lot more rumors and myths clarified and set straight by the one and only Carole Radziwill, a guest that we have been chasing, stalking, and charming for quite a while to make an appearance here Behind The Rope! As they say, all good things come to those who wait.

We recently received DM’s from PK who seems to be less than happy with this very Podcast. We share those here today. PK seems to have quite a history of going after people on line. We chat PK and, of course, Dorit. In other news, the RHOBH Reunion has arrived, aired, come and is now about to go. The moment we have been waiting for all season, and what a season it has been. Did it deliver? Obvi this season, with ratings highs, has been large in part to the on and off screen saga that Erika Jayne continues to live day after day in her newfound life. That life includes her downsized 2000 sq foot bungalow, shopping trips and / or staged paparazzi photo shoots at TJ Maxx, red carpet openings in Vegas, claims by past housewives such as Bethenny Frankel and Camille Grammer that they knew of her financial troubles, social media posts in scantily clad get ups, daily Twitter hellos from Attorney Ronald Richards and constant 24 hour, 7 day a week scrutiny from us, the American Public. The Sisters from The Pop Apologist Podcast, Lauren and Chanler Bledsoe, are here to help us break it all down and to discuss the future of RHOBH, Housewives and Bravo!

Gretchen Rossi steps Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine its 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 Jeana Keough. Gretchen also discusses what she thinks about the exit of Vicki and Tamra and whether that friendship is real or for TV and just what went wrong with Last Season’s Fifteen and the changes she would have made as we prepare for the return of RHOC this December! Gretchen also talks about her recent comments about Braunwyn’s sexuality and appearance on WWHL! In other news, Gretchen has partnered with Lifevac (which protects your children from choking emergencies), is a Mom (shout out to Skylar Gray Smiley) and Social Media Lifestyle Influencer (almost 1 million IG followers). With all that going on, we can’t help but ask the obvious, would you ever go back?? @gretchenrossi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://www.omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope”) Brought to you by MANSCAPED - https://www.manscaped.com (20% Off + Free Shipping with Promo Code VELVET) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s one of the most haunting murder cases you’ll ever hear about, and it takes place in a small town in Israel. Tair Rada was only 13-years-old when her body was found inside a locked bathroom stall. She was viciously murdered during a school day, and yet no one saw or heard a thing. The police arrested the janitor, Roman Zadorov, and he eventually confessed, but this was far from being the end of it. Based on the hit true-crime series from Netflix, the podcast "Shadow of Truth" will take you on a journey into one of the wildest and most contested murder cases in the history of Israel, as it reaches its final resolution, 15 years after it all started.

After last week's epic three day reunion analysis, Kathryn is here to help us break down all that has transpired last night on Part Two of the epic Four Part RHOBH Reunion we have waited all season to watch! Was Erika slightly more sympathetic last night? Was that due to editing or the fact that we are so knee deep in this pretty mess that we temporarily forgot certain behaviors both on RHOBH and IRL social media over the past many months that didn’t exactly sit well with the gen public? As super sleuths, we discuss who knew what, where, and why and dissect the many statements and explanations made last night regarding one Girardi / Jayne marriage. Of course, we also break down the Hilton family dynamic, the tender moment between sisters, and the backstory many year build up that led Kyle and Kathy to end in tears. Somehow, we get completely sidetracked, in a good way, back to the days when Kathryn was on the show and take a trip down memory lane a la Münchausen’s, never before aired Eileen Davidson scene, what prompted Kathryn’s phone call earlier this week to Yolanda Foster and last, but certainly not least, Kathryn’s first ever RHOBH scene with Miss Faye Resnick!!!

Adrienne Bailon and husband Israel Houghton step Behind The Rope. Adrienne starts at the beginning, being discovered by Ricky Martin when she was just a teenager. That led to girl group 3LW which led to girl group The Cheetah Girls. We discuss musical career highlights such as touring and working with Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson and Jessica Simpson and how this was an iconic time in music - Britney, Justin, need we say more. Adrienne has also acted, hosted a la MTV and appeared on Reality TV - no not just on Keeping Up With The Kardashians - but her very own show “Empire Girls”. Now Adrienne is one of the Daytime Emmy Award winning hosts of “The Real”. We get all of Adrienne and Israel’s opinions of Sharon Osbourne’s recent “departure” from The Talk, why “The Real” is such a revolutionary show, The View, and her “The Real” co-host, our very own Garcelle Beauvais. Adrienne breaks down RHOBH for us and whether she would ever join. Israel seems to have a strong opinion on this as well. Adrienne has also been busy lately appearing on “The Masked Singer” and having girls’ nights out with Kim Kardashian!! Of course, we discuss that night out and how Kim is going amid her looming divorce from Kanye. In other news, Israel has a brand new album “Feels Like Home Vol I” which we discuss plus what is next for this power couple!! Oh, and for those wondering, yes, these two do sing for us during this epic chat!

Jason Lee steps Behind The Rope. Media Mogul, Entertainment Journalist, Reality TV Star, Author. Of course, Jason is also the CEO, Editor-In-Chief and Founder of Hollywood Unlocked, THE Pulse of Pop Culture, media giant that breaks stories with 2.7M followers hanging on it’s every word. Jason was not always the self made media mogul we see before us today. We chat about humble early beginnings, role models such as Wendy Williams, Charlemagne tha God and Howard Stern and early days as a star of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Hollywood. In an almost unprecedented move, Jason opens up about very publicly challenging CBS via #FreeJasonLee which led to the eventual release of his Reality TV Contract and discusses where his gusto to “take on” a major network comes from. We chat Nene Leaks and her own contract disputes with Bravo. Jason chats breaking the viral Jordyn Woods, Khloe Kardashian, Tristan Thompson “cheating” scandal, the “click power” of The Kardashians, other celebs which the public just cannot get enough of, set backs a la Karen Civil, and just how he manages to serve, stir, and deliver the tea while maintaining close celebrity friends like Rihanna, Cardi B, Lil’ Kim, Tiffany Haddish, Blac Chyna and more. @hollywoodunlocked @theonlyjasonlee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by SIMPLISAFE - https://www.simplisafe.com/velvetrope (20% Off Entire New System & First Month Free) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Eileen first came into our lives four decades ago through her Iconic role as Ashley Abbott on “The Young and The Restless”, a role which she is still playing today. Eileen chats about her entire Soap career which has included not only Y & R, but Santa Barbara, The Bold and The Beautiful and Days of Our Lives, the last including a record breaking five different roles, all off which has lead to two Daytime Emmy’s for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Eileen chats about her various other films and projects including, a highlight for us, The Last Sharknado. Of course we chat with Eileen about her RHOBH career as a full time Diamond Holder over three epic seasons which included "run ins” with the likes of Brandi Glanville, Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards, one of the most iconic RHOBH cast trips ever involving smashed glass and Harry Hamlin and the world learning the meaning of “Munchausen’s Syndrome”. Eileen chats about the status of her many RHOBH relations today, the legal troubles friend Erika Jayne (hey, we would like a part on Y & R too!) is going through, and the just completed season - more Erika, Hello Kathy Hilton and more! We discuss the unprecedented move by Bravo to hire actresses as Housewives the season Eileen and Lisa Rinna were hired, whether that formula works, and discuss others who have come and stayed or gone - Garcelle Beauvais, Denise Richards, Kim Fields (ALT Anyone?). Eileen has said in the past that she has “a lot less stress” in her life since RHOBH so we have to ask, would you ever go back and who on casts past or current would you not work with?

Kathryn voiced what none of the other RHOBH cast had the voice to say, although our three time guest champ Sutton Stracke sure came close, "Erika, this is not okay” and “There Are Victims To Consider”.

Justin Guarini steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Justin Guarini. The most famous, or infamous, American Idol Runner-Up in the history of Idol. Thank you Kelly Clarkson. American Idol Season One. Who knew what to expect? Certainly not Justin who chats about what Idol Season One was like behind the scenes - the contestants, judges Paula, Randy & Simon, hosts Ryan Seacrest & Brian Dunkleman (remember him?), and what it was like to come so close to the first ever winner of the hit singing competition. Justin chats about the life changing choice he made to say no to a recording contract and big role on Broadway in “The Lion King”, his dream, to participate in the then unknown hit TV show. Justin opens up about life after idol - being signed to RCA, touring, meeting Oprah!!!, being dropped by RCA, and ultimately reinventing himself on Broadway. Yes, he was on the Oprah show three times! Of course, life after idol also included “From Justin To Kelly” which was hailed as one of the worst movies ever made - bad or so bad, it’s good. We discuss Justin’s thoughts on the film and Kelly Clarkson’s recent statements of her involvement in the movie. We also discuss dating Kelly Clarkson, those rumors of “hooking up” with Paula Abdul, forever being compared to one of the two most well known and successful winners of Idol ever - Kelly Clarkson, and Idol 2.0 - JLO, Katy Perry, Lionel and more including Justin’s current coaching biz about the biz of show!!

Gloria Allred steps Behind The Rope. No, you are not seeing things. Living Legend! Icon in the flesh! Trailblazer! The most well known, bad a** Civil Rights attorney to ever exist in the world was kind enough to grace us with her presence. We are not worthy!! If you ask Gloria, and we did, it isn’t about any of those titles or accolades or record breaking dollar amount judgements she, and her partners at Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, have won. It is about giving a voice to those who would otherwise not have a voice and fighting for those whose rights have been presumably violated, often by the Hollywood elite. Some of these Hollywood elite that Gloria has pursued and or been involved in cases against include, but are not limited to, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Rob Lowe, Roman Polanski, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Aaron Spelling and so on, and on, and on. Gloria has done more for Civil, Human, Women’s, Gay, Transgender, and everything else rights than any other Attorney we can think of. Gloria opens up about the woman behind the public figure as seen on every major news outlet around the world answering questions on the biggest misconceptions she has heard about herself, moments of insecurity and fear, if any (we don’t see any), what she does for fun, and can she step outside of herself, look back, reflect and realize that she has had one of the most brilliant legal carers of all time. While we have one of the most brilliant legal minds to ever exist in our presence, we get Gloria’s thoughts on current cases such as the Britney Spears conservatorship, The Erika Jayne / Tom Girardi Divorce, Armie Hammer’s disappearance, and Sharon Osbourne’s “cancellation” from The Talk, to name a few. Gloria also chats about the brilliant Netflix documentary “Seeing Allred” discussing what it is like to have your own Netflix Documentary, but, then again, with a career as brilliant as hers, of course Gloria has her own Netflix Documentary. What an honor. Thank you Miss Allred.

Crystal Kung Minkoff steps Behind The Rope. With the epic four part RHOBH reunion starting later this week, Crystal stops by to chat about what her freshman season as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been like. Crystal discusses her highs and lows of the season, who was the most welcoming, her “Sutton” drama, and what going through her first season with fellow newbie and Icon In The Flesh Kathy Hilton was like. Of course, we also discuss what it was like working with Erika as her real life drama unfolded in real time during current season filming, whether she would have been able to stay on the show if she were going through the same and how, as a newbie, she saw Erika’s situation from a different perspective. Crystal chats about who she is closest to from other franchises, the loss of Tiffany Moon from the Housewives’ Fam, which RHOBH past she would bring back and which current cast members should hand in their diamonds. Having a famous Hollywood Director for a husband, we also talk about which celebs have left Crystal star struck, what life is like now that she is in the public eye and how she is not above showing up at her children’s play dates at Madonna’s house. Yes, this is a real story unfolding in real time as we gasp in excitement. Finally, Crystal reveals who and what she was most nervous about when filming her first ever RHOBH reunion, what we can really expect from Erika Jayne and what she expects will leave us speechless as we watch over the next four weeks. @crystalkungminkoff @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Brought to you by CANVA - https://www.canva.com/affiliates/VELVETROPE (Free 45 Day Extended Trial ) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey David, I have up close and personal stories with both Tom Girardi, who hit on me last year and Erika Jayne, who I have bonded with over older men, TWICE.” That is how our DM from Taylor Ferber started. We get hundreds of thousands of these a week and ignore most. This is Behind The Velvet Rope and in true BTVR, we only want to interview true insiders in the entertainment industry whose careers have soared to epic heights. Just as we were about to hit delete, we dove deeper and realized Taylor is a Red Carpet Reporter who has not only just attended the recent Emmy’s but has interviewed anyone who is everyone from “A” List Celebs to Music Icons to, what else do we want to talk about, Real Housewives. Taylor was hit on by Tom Girardi twice, has traveled in the same circles as Erika Jayne Girardi and yes, has had in depth convos bonding over Older Men with the Ice Queen herself. She also knows Dorit, LVP, Kyle, Camille Grammer and so on. Who from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has she not met? The “Real Life” Behind The Rope Erika Jayne / Tom Girardi deep dive you have all been asking for has arrived.

My, my how quickly things change. Continuing with our plan to highlight certain back chats that stick out, we present to you an unedited version of our chat with Peter Madrigal. Who is watching Vanderpump Rules this season? Thoughts? So interesting to revisit this chat with Peter, now unedited, and see just how much things have changed in one short year. When we originally spoke to Peter - Vanderpump Rules OG Peter Madrigal steps Behind The Rope. Back in a simpler time when everyone had their Bravo contracts in place, a mere week ago, Peter sat down with The Rope to tell it all. What does HE think about it ALL? Peter explains exactly how the show was cast way back when and it is not what was expected. Peter is kind enough to entertain the Rope's desires to talk about all of his cast mates. Who changed the most since the beginning of the show? What does he personally think of Jax's marriage? What did he think of this past season and the newbies? Does he think the future of VR should be broken into two shows? How does he feel to be one of the only OGs to actually still work at Sur? What role does he play in helping cast the show as the real manager of Sur? Whose wedding was his favorite? House? Of course we also address the season finale's breaking of the 4th wall and how it felt like a series finale with everyone going their separate ways. The future of Vanderpump Rules? All these and more questions answered in this no holds bar sit down with the OG himself, Mr. Peter Madrigal. @Peter_madrigal @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope” Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Carole Baskin steps Behind The Rope! No your eyes are not deceiving you. One of THE most buzzed about shows of the last decade was Tiger King and one of THE most buzzed about women of the last decade was Carole Baskin. These are facts. Today, Carole is here to dispel the many myths created as a result of that viral Netflix show regarding herself, her one time husband Don Lewis, his disappearance, and just what Big Cats have to do with all of it. Carole chats about life back in the day before Tiger King when she was just a woman married to a man together running Big Cat Rescue, a not for profit organization dedicated to Big Cat rescue, rights and activism. Of course, there was also Joe Exotic, owner of a “different type” of Big Cat organization who didn’t exactly see eye to eye with Carole. One day Netflix came calling and voila, the rest is history. Carole is very vocal here today about how she feels the finished product of Tiger King is not what she signed up for. Carole also opens up about what it is like to be the woman who is the subject of endless on line memes and chatter suggesting she killed her husband and fed him to the Big Cats and what living with such strict public scrutiny is like. We chat with Carole about the many misconceptions surrounding her public persona and answer just “who is Carole Baskin”, the woman behind all of the tabloid fodder. Carole breaks down topics such as fame and the quick education she received in handling the media. Of course, we pay homage to her star studded appearance on Dancing With The Stars, her premiere dance of course set to Survivor’s “Eye of The Tiger”. Carole discusses Joe Exotic’s guilty verdict for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to kill her and his resulting 22 year sentence. She also discussed his recent claims of Prostate Cancer and ongoing petition to be released. Of course, we had to ask what would she say to Joe if she saw him today, what are her favorite of the Big Cats, all that talk about a Tiger King 2 and will she be involved, and just what is next for the woman behind the flower headband. @carolebaskincat @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://bigcatrescue.org/carole-baskin/ Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope” Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Courtney Stodden steps Behind The Rope. You have read so much about Courtney. We all have. In true Rope fashion, rather than figure out what is true, untrue and somewhere in between, we’ve gone right to the source to break it all down. Courtney first came into the public eye at age 16 when they married then 51 year old Doug Hutchison in 2011. Courtney talks about what living with such strict media attention and judgement was like at such a young age. In other words, being trolled before trolling was a thing. We chat with Courtney about Britney Spears and how similar their own situation was, married at 16, to the conservatorship that Britney is now living with each day. The constant media attention earned them and their then husband a place on the second season of the VH1 hit, “Couples Therapy” along with famous co-stars such as your RHONY favs Alex and Simon van Kempen. We discuss! Courtney chats about their many other reality TV appearances on shows like Celebrity Big Brother and let us not forget that 50 Cent video they were in. Sort of! We can explain! Courtney chats about fame, the potential addiction to fame, living a life in the public eye, their public persona versus the real Courtney Stodden, the various and constant misconceptions about them and whether they is “in on the joke”. Having just had their 26th birthday, Courtney looks back on the past ten years and discusses their decision to divorce their then husband. Of course, we discuss the headlines Courtney made recently regarding their “relationship” with 90210’s Brian Austin Green, their public “demise” and the involvement of both Megan Fox and Vanessa Marcil. Courtney also chats about their recent coming out as Non-Binary in the hopes of living a more authentic life. Courtney also chats about others who have slid into their DMs such as, wait for it, Courtney Love! Finally, they chat about being cyber-bullied by Chrissy Teigen, the long term effects that has had on them and what they would say to Chrissy Teigen if they came face to face today. @courtneyastodden @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope” Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

RedOne steps Behind The Rope. One thing is clear from chatting with RedOne. He has worked with everyone who is anyone in the music business. From humble early beginnings - born in Morocco, early music career in Sweden, staring over in the United States from scratch, RedOne is here to chat about it all. “It all” includes working with Legends Jennifer Lopez - he co-wrote / co-produced “On The Floor”, and Lady Gaga - he produced many Gaga hits including “Poker Face”, “Bad Romance” and “Just Dance”. RedOne chats about what working with JLO and Gaga was like - the highs / lows, nuances and fun stories of each. RedOne also chats about some of our other favs he has worked with such as Michael Jackson, some of the music legends he would love to collaborate with such as Queen B herself, Beyonce, “A” list music hang outs with Icons like Bono and Stevie Wonder and how winning several Grammys changes you. In RedOne’s case, it does not. Of course we also had to ask about working with our Queen Madonna! In other news, RedOne has created a new digital and centralized talent show platform to directly connect musical talent, record labels and fans - SpotStar. He chats about that plus whether traditional Music Competition Shows like American Idol and The Voice work in the modern world in which we now live, the “politics” of the music business, the current state of music today - SOS, and just how SpotStar may change the face of music forever going forward! @redone @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope” Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Eboni K. Willams has returned!! Welcome back, Ms. Williams. Well a lot has happened since Eboni was here last. Eboni reflects back upon this past season of RHONY - the good and bad, highs and lows and how she feels now that she has had a chance to digest all that has happened. Eboni addresses the public’s outcry about this RHONY season, whether discussions of race “belong” on Housewives, the vitriol she has received from on-line “trolls”, and how she has remained unapologetically herself throughout this entire freshman season and Housewives experience. Eboni addresses the fact that she won’t be able to have the typical Housewives’ Reunion experience, the lack of closure that has arisen from a cancelled reunion, and what she was hoping to address at the reunion, which she addresses here today! On that note, Eboni opens up about current cast relations and who she is and is not speaking to. Looking ahead to next season, we address the constant rumors that Luann, Ramona and Sonja have been demoted to “Friend Of”, which RHONY she feels are prime for a return, and the chatter that Bethenny Frankel is the key to the future of RHONY. Eboni weighs in on all that Garcelle Beauvais is going thorough this season on RHOBH, chats about her new job at The View including a message to Meghan McCain, shares an update on her search for love, discusses the biggest misperceptions of herself and what she does for fun out in The Big Apple at night. Finally, Eboni chats what she would do differently, if anything, next season of RHONY. @ebonikwilliams @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope”) Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Joyce Giraud steps Behind The Rope. For the countess number of y’all who have been emailing and DM’ing asking us to highlight our best past Housewives and other interviews, we have heard you. You have spoken, we have listened. With all the RHOBH drama regarding Erika Jayne - much of which we have contributed to with recent guests like Kathryn Edwards, Dana Wilkey and many others, we figured it was time for some chatter regarding RHOBH that is happy and upbeat. On that note, we share today an UNEDITED edition of our past chat with Joyce Giraud. Season Four was Iconic in that it was the first time RHOBH followed suit of the other franchises for a cast shift. Joyce explains how the first RHOBH cast member she met was Taylor Armstrong. From there she started running into Lisa Vanderpump all the time at Mohamed's house. Joyce discusses the reality of filming RHOBH versus what she expected the experience to be. She has met Prince, Michael Jackson and, wait for it, Madonna. Ok let's just take a minute to absorb that. Of course we also need to hear all about her BFF friendship with the Queen herself, LVP. She also explains her "favs" from Vanderpump Rules - James Kennedy and Scheana Shay. We always knew Joyce had good taste. Ready for a feel good episode? So are we, so take a listen here. @joyce_giraud @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by CANVA - https://www.canva.com/affiliates/VELVETROPE (Free 45 Day Extended Trial ) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Cassandra Peterson steps Behind The Rope. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, in the flesh, Behind The Rope. Let us just process that for a hot horror sec. Cassandra is here to chat about her new book (currently # 4 on the NYT Best Sellers List) “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark”, where she holds nothing back about her outrageous, strange, often funny, often heartbreaking tale from a Midwest farm girl whose unfortunate childhood accident led her to ultimately become the most Iconic, Sexiest, Sassiest, Campiest Horror Legend of ALL time!

Finally, Cassandra chats about current horror trends and blockbusters such as Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story”, Reality TV, who she would love to play her in the story of her life, what Elvira does to celebrate her just past Seventieth Birthday - we are as shocked as you are - and just what is next for this Queen of Macabre and Living Legend that does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Holla! Heather Thomson Steps Behind The Rope. She’s back! Checking in from her home in The Berkshires, Heather is here to break down her time this past season on The Real Housewives of New York City which ended way too soon. Heather breaks down all that went wrong that fateful weekend in The Hamptons at Ramona Singer’s and shares an update on her “relationship” with all of the current RHONY cast members. Heather also breaks down the apology she read on WWHL, chats about the RHONY cast member who had a strange reaction to her WWHL appearance, explains the real reasons she decided to stop filming and walk away, and divulges the phone call she had in the car ride back to NYC with a past RHONY cast member immediately after! OMG, we know! Speaking of this season just past, Heather helps us break down exactly why the ratings have dramatically dropped so significantly, the fall from grace Leah has had among the viewers, the claims that these are a “bunch of co-workers, not friends”, Jill Zarin’s statement that the ratings decrease is due to the lack of men / husbands, which past cast members should be brought back and just what would Heather do if she were a producer in charge of increasing the ratings for the next season. After all, her and Bethenny Frankel do know it all. We also chat about the fact that, in an unprecedented move, the reunion was cancelled and whether now, after this past season’s experience, she would ever go back.

We chat about Adriana, Alexia Echevarria and Lisa Hochstein returning as full time Housewives and the assumption that Marysol Patton will allegedly return as a “friend of”. We chat about those casting decisions, why the series ended in the first place, what will the show be without fan fav Mama Elsa, what the show will be like without self imposed “ringleader” and “Mayor of Miami” Lea Black and why now is the right time to bring the show back, Of course we discuss Jonna Krupa and Lea Black’s recent comments as to why they are not interested in returning and what the new series will be like with now viral sensation ex Kardashian BFF Larsa Pippen attached to the project.

Parvati Shallow steps Behind The Rope. Survivor Winner, Parvati Shallow. We are celebrating the long awaited return of tonight’s forty first installment of one of the most successful reality shows of all time the only way we knew how. 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. On that note, Parvati has integrated all of these skills of playing Survivor, her struggles thereafter, her career in media and entertainment, and overall life experiences into a booming business as a Life Coach.** @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef @pshallow Parvati has offered all you listeners of Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast 20% off her “Hero’s Journey”, 7 week Coaching & Yoga Program.

Former Pussycat Doll's member Kaya Jones steps Behind The Rope. Kaya chronicles how she came to be a member of the Pussycat Dolls in December 2003, when she was just 19 years old. After chatting about the audition process and landing the part, Kaya pulls back the curtain of what being in this group was really like. Kaya details what she calls the “toxic” (according to her, allegedly) work environment, the excruciatingly long hours, the infighting between the other PCDs and everything else you can imagine, Kaya covers it. Of course, Kaya talks about group founder and choreographer Robin Antin - what she was like, how she treated the members, what her goals for herself and for the group were and whether those goals were always consistent with the other. Kaya explains whose decision it was to transform the Pussycat Dolls from being a “burlesque performance group” to a full fledged musical band, how that transition took place, and what it took to ultimately get signed to a record deal. Kaya contributed to songs that would ultimately make up The Dolls’ first album. We discuss the mega hit “Don’t Cha” and the Dolls’ lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. In 2004, Kaya left the band during the recording of the first album claiming it was no longer fun to be in the band. After leaving the band, Kaya pursed a solo career in music. There were also those repeated times she made allegations that being in the Pussycat Dolls were like being part of a prostitution ring. Say whhhaattt? Yea, we break that one down for you. Ok umm, what? Kaya also chats about her start in the music business at 13 years old working with R. Kelly.

Fran chats about the recent addition of The Nanny to HBO Max, the joys of having it discovered by a whole new generation and shares an update on the status of her road to bringing The Nanny to Broadway. After we wax nostalgic on all things The Nanny, we move on to one of Fran’s new passions, Mahjong.

DJ Richie Skye steps Behind The Rope. There is no one more connected in the DMV than Mr. Skye and we could not think of anyone better to help break down all that is going on this season on The Real Housewives of Potomac than Richie Skye. That chat began a few weeks back where we discussed how all our fav ladies are doing this season - Gizelle, Karen, Ashley, Candiace, Robyn, Wendy and newbie Mia. Today we continue that chat and predict what will happen as the season moves on. The convo then turns to RHOA breaking down the “off season” they just had. We discuss what went wrong with our fav Peach Holder’s this past season, reveal who our MVP was, suggest ways to fix the ATL, chat about who should go and predict who will be “let go” out of Kenya, Porsha, Kandi, Drew and Cynthia. Have you seen all of the blogs the past 24 hours? Do we believe Porsha and Cynthia are out and Marlo is in? Of course we cannot let our Southern gals go without a job and discuss career alternatives for those we feel are on their way out. On the topic of off seasons, we cannot help but think RHONY - Richie knows Bershan IRL - discussing whether this season is as bad, and the situation is as dire as all the public outcry and headlines make it seem. Richie sheds light on what he likes and does not like up here in the Big Apple weighing in on who should go, stay and be brought back from the past - the answers not at all what you would expect. Somehow our sit down about the current RHOP season has led us to RHOA and RHONY but that is what happens when DJ Richie Skye (host of “Reality Talk” on Youtube & “Unfiltered” on Podcast One) stops by. We could have kept talking, but need to leave you with something to look forward to. Until next time, Mr. Skye!! @djrichieskye @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef ** Listen to Full Show at: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54578458 . Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry Springer steps Behind The Rope. One of the most Iconic names in daytime TV is here to chat about it all. Although Jerry was set to retire after his unprecedented twenty seven year run as Host of The Jerry Springer Show, NBC had other plans and Judge Jerry was born. Jerry chats about how nice it is to use his law degree and what we can expect in the upcoming third season of the always shocking, never boring, Judge Jerry. Of course, the conversation quickly leads to The Jerry Springer Show and all those trailblazing disputes, wig pulls, accusations, and everything else under the sun that was before its time as it aired each day on our small screens. 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 - 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 much more. Jerry reflects back on a career most can only dream of discussing highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of himself, and just what is next for the man who everyone just cannot seem to get enough of.

Gia Gunn, famed, outspoken Drag Race contestant steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home in WeHo, Gia is here to tell it all. We would expect nothing less from one of Drag Race’s most outspoken contestants in the history of the show! Let us start at the beginning. Gia takes us back to the first time she did drag, what that was like, what prompted her to “try” and where her infamous name “Gia Gunn” comes from. Think Project Runway! Gia also opens up about the first time she became aware of her “trans identity” and what that was like to deal with at a young age. Flash forward to Season Six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Gia explains how she got involved with the Iconic hit TV show and why Season Six was the right time to participate. Gia discusses what it was like to film the show, the other Queens, the competitions and what it was like to “not be out” at the time. Flash forward to “All Stars Season Four”, Gia was back and ready to take the competition by storm. We discuss the differences this time in “All Stars”, the competition as well as the fact that Gia was an out Transgender Woman, or we should say Woman, participating in Drag Race. Of course, we address the fact that Gia’s participation in this installment of “All Stars“ came mere months after RuPaul’s comment that they would not cast an openly Transgender Contestant on the show. Gia explains how she felt by that statement and whether she thinks that impacted the decision to cast her (whether or not it was “stunt casting”). She also opens up about the rumored filmed but, ultimately, edited altercation with RuPaul on set during “All Stars” over this statement and whether her standing up to RuPaul led, in any way, to her elimination. She also opens up about the fact that the altercation was edited and whether the show is forever slanted to “make Ru look good at all costs”. Gia also chats about the recent change of RuPaul’s famous opening catch phrase to be gender inclusive and the presence of contestant Gottmik, Drag race’s first Trans Male Drag Queen. Gia chats about the whether RuPaul and Drag Race have come far in their Diversity and Inclusion Efforts, shares her thoughts on Caitlyn Jenner - they are not what you would think, and discusses shows like Pose answering the main question as to whether each has been a step forward for the Trans Community. Finally, Gia discusses current projects, the “Gia” brand, and the fact that it is beyond time for The Real Housewives to include a full time Trans Housewife. Yes, Gia is nominating herself. In true Gia Gunn fashion, NOTHING is off limits nor held back. @gia_gunn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef B onus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by O.R.G SKINCARE - https://www.orgskincare.com (Use Code VELVET for 15% Off Entire Purchase) Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet (Now For Men Too) Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Kelly also had a thriving career as a writer and editor at such famed publications like Elle, Page Six and Gotham and as a model who traveled the world working with famous photographers such as ex-husband, Gil Bensimon. All right, All right, onto what everyone wants to chat about, The Real Housewives of New York City. Kelly discusses how she was originally cast in Season Two of the hit franchise, how “welcome" she felt by the Season One Veterans, and how she was advised by everyone on her team not to do the show. We discuss some of her iconic moments such as running in traffic, being “up there” not “down here” and of course, “Scary Island”. Speaking of “Scary Island”, Kelly fills us in on what was really going on in that infamous dinner party scene and what life was like after that episode aired. She discusses how she reacted to and felt by the public’s “outcry” as well as the private messages she received on social media. Kelly discusses who from the cast she keeps in touch with and what she would say to Bethenny Frankel if she bumped into her today. Hint, it is not what you would expect! Kelly also opens up about what it is like when people still want to talk about “Scary Island” all these many years later, what life has been like since we last saw her on our TV screens, her dating life - a topic she rarely discusses, and what a current day in the life of KKB looks like as a thriving Real Estate Agent who splits her time between NYC, The Hamptons and Palm Beach. No surprise, as any reputable real estate agent in NYC does Kelly was on the just completed season of Million Dollar Listing New York which we chat about.

Sonja Morgan's Intern steps Behind The Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Last year we had the pleasure of chatting with Meghan about what it was like to be one of Sonja Morgan’s iconic interns. Meghan chatted about that as well the fall out from coming on our show. Seems like Ms. Morgan was less than pleased with our little chat. We then had a follow up chat about that! Meghan is now back to help us break down this current season of RHONY. We chat about what it is like to still be watching Sonja get fall down drunk on a weekly basis each week - knowing her in real life and all - and how we think all our favorite Apple holders are performing this season. We discuss the public outcry from the fans who claim the show has got too serious, political and is now TV with a mission when all they want to see is a bunch of women getting drunk and having fun. We also discuss the effect this outcry has had on the ratings - the lowest in history, what and who has caused this decrease, and how to fix this decrease. We discuss the many rumors of who is being fired, if anyone, who should be fired, if anyone, and who should be brought back from casts past, if anyone. We chat about the rumors that Bethenny Frankel wants to come back either on camera or as a Producer behind the scenes, the rumors that the highest levels of NBC corporate are now involved and that Andy Cohen has completely lost control of this once highly rated franchise. Of course, Meghan also gives advice to any aspiring Sonja interns who, despite listening to our chat, still want to apply for the much talked about position. Perhaps we will be seeing you listeners on a future episode of RHONY yourselves!. ** Original Chat with Sonja’s Intern Meghan Hubert - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-velvet-rope/id1496557812?i=1000491284626 ** The Aftermath & Fallout from our chat with Sonja Morgan’s Intern - https://www.patreon.com/posts/54758806 @megagahubert @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef **** FULL EPISODE IS AT: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54758806 Learn more about your ad choices.

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.

Carol Potter steps Behind The Rope. Cindy Walsh from the beloved and iconic Beverly Hills, 90210. We start at the beginning chatting about how Carol was cast, the buzz around town about Aaron Spelling's new teen drama, and just what life was like in the early days when all of its cast were virtual unknowns. Life was anything but stellar. We chat about the show premiered to blah ratings and how that one unprecedented decision to air new “Beverly Beach” episodes over the summer changed everything. Carol discusses what it was like when the relatively unknown cast skyrocketed to fame of epic proportions and answers all out nuanced questions about Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Luke Perry, Jason Priestley, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering. We talk about all the buzzed about topics from back in the day - Tori auditioning under a fake name, Shannen Doherty’s bad behavior, Shannen and Jennie’s physical altercation and Shannen’s cutting of her hair, despite warnings, which ultimately led to her firing. Carol recounts stories from the tension on set caused by Shannen and what is was like once she was replaced by Tiffani Thiessen who was then dating Brian Austin Green. We also discuss Oscar winner Hillary Swank’s role, how and why she was fired, and all our other favs Vanessa Marcil, Christine Elise, Kathleen Robertson, and Lindsay Price, to name a few. We pay homage to the reboot (AnnaLynne McCord shout out) before discussing what it is like to receive a call regarding the BH90210 Tori/Jennie produced “heightened version”of themselves show, to see the gang again and why she thinks it was so short lived and didn’t resonate with audiences. That heightened version of herself included played a “therapist” since, well, she is a licensed therapist in real life. On that note, Carol chats about her new book “When Your Child has a Chronic Medical Illness”, the untimely passing of Luke Perry, Shannen Doherty’s unfortunate battle with cancer, and what is next for the actress who was part of one of the most groundbreaking, revolutionary, classic, iconic, life changing shows in history. @carolpotter90210 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cary Deuber steps Behind The Rope. After five seasons, Bravo announced that The Real Housewives of Dallas is not returning. Cary is here to help us analyze exactly why the show is not coming back, where it all went wrong, which cast members contributed most to the show's demise and whether this is the final nail in the RHOD coffin or we can expect to see our fav Lone Star State Ladies in the future resurrected in some other format. Cary also reflects back on her very own RHOD career having been an OG cast member for three glorious seasons and “friend of” for an epic fourth - the highs, lows, regrets, fights, reunions and of course, friendships - some, not all, of which are intact today. Of course, we also address LeeAnne Locken’s infamous “Let Them Try Without Me” quote, and well, they tried. Being one of the most cosmopolitan Housewives to ever grace our TVs, we talk with Cary about her true love of fashion, her non-stop travel with husband Mark, their Deuber Table - yes they are culinary geniuses and last, but certainly not least, Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery because, well, we never met an injectable we did not like. Cary Deuber like you have never heard her before. Goodbye RHOD.

Jay Manuel steps Behind The Rope. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Checking in from his home in Connecticut, Jay is here to tell it all. Growing up, Jay was drawn to fashion at a young age. That led him to land in NYC, and the rest is history. Not so fast. Jay didn't take no for an answer during his early career in fashion, pounding the streets, portfolio in hand, which eventually landed him his first cosmetics campaign for Revlon. One day, Tyra’s makeup artist missed their flight to NYC and Jay got a call to do Tyra’s makeup last minute for the GQ Man of The Year Awards. He ran to her hotel room, she loved the way she looked, and voila, the two started working together consistently after that. Jay is no stranger to working with high profile clients and we discuss a few such as, oh we don’t know, Jennifer Lopez. Jay details, and we slow him down to miss nothing, how the idea for America’s Next Top Model came about and what his initial reaction was when Tyra ran the idea by him at 3am. We discuss casting and filming. Jay explains the evolution from Episode One when they were just figuring all out to his becoming the official Creative Director on the show, a transition which happened before our very eyes. Jay discusses what it was like to work with some of ANTM’s judges such as Janice Dickinson, Nigel Barker and J. Alexander. Ahh, Janice! Tune in now to our Part I sit down with Mr. Jay Manuel. He opens up about why he decided to leave the hit show in Cycle 8. He explains what his conversation with Tyra was like when he told her he wanted to leave the hit show and his fear that he may “never work in this town again”. Jay explains how he was convinced to stay after giving notice and the icy environment on set once he decided to stay for another cycle. Yes, Tyra Banks was not at all thrilled nor pleased. We discus the overall toxic environment on ANTM and what it was like to work in that environment for many many years. Jay chat about why he was really ready and really did leave in Cycle 18 of the show. Next, we discuss the book!!! The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown. We have so many questions, where to begin. Jay explains why he decided to write this book now and why he chose fiction as opposed to a memoir. We prod Jay to discuss what is fiction in this novel versus what is really, well, real on the set of Model Muse. We discuss some of the bigger issues in the book such as the attraction to fame, the cost of fame, and the abuse of power. Of course, we ask Jay if he has heard from Tyra since writing the book and, if so, what that conversation was like. We also discuss whether he has heard from Janice Dickinson, Miss J and Nigel Barker since the book hit the shelves. We discuss the creative process to writing a book and what Jay discovered about himself throughout the process. Finally, we discuss some of Jay’s many other accomplishments such as the E! Red Carpet, which Awards Shows are his favorite, who he would love to sit down and have lunch with and last, but certainly not least, his iconic silver hair. @mrjaymanuel @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He explains what his conversation with Tyra was like when he told her he wanted to leave the hit show and his fear that he may “never work in this town again”. Jay explains how he was convinced to stay after giving notice and the icy environment on set once he decided to stay for another cycle. Yes, Tyra Banks was not at all thrilled nor pleased. We discus the overall toxic environment on ANTM and what it was like to work in that environment for many many years. Jay chat about why he was really ready and really did leave in Cycle 18 of the show. Next, we discuss the book!!! The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown. We have so many questions, where to begin. Jay explains why he decided to write this book now and why he chose fiction as opposed to a memoir. We prod Jay to discuss what is fiction in this novel versus what is really, well, real on the set of Model Muse. We discuss some of the bigger issues in the book such as the attraction to fame, the cost of fame, and the abuse of power. Of course, we ask Jay if he has heard from Tyra since writing the book and, if so, what that conversation was like. We also discuss whether he has heard from Janice Dickinson, Miss J and Nigel Barker since the book hit the shelves. We discuss the creative process to writing a book and what Jay discovered about himself throughout the process. Finally, we discuss some of Jay’s many other accomplishments such as the E! Red Carpet, which Awards Shows are his favorite, who he would love to sit down and have lunch with and last, but certainly not least, his iconic silver hair. @mrjaymanuel @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sutton Stracke - she’s back!!!! Sutton stops by to break down all that has been happening this epic season of RHOBH! First things first, we chat about how this season has been different for Sutton, her highs and lows, biggest challenges, what and who shocked her the most, who she grew closer to and father apart from, and the many instances which have caused her to shed a tear, or two, or three! Sutton opens up about bumping heads with Crystal - an initial run in with racial overtones, the meaning of the word violation, ugly leather pleated pants and a prank gone so wrong she may never drink a martini again (oh no!). We pay homage to the Icon that is Kathy Hilton and the many reasons why we are all so lucky she has joined this cast. Sutton chats about what filming was like in real time as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast made headlines heard around the world. We chat with Sutton about Rinna’s odd behavior of holding no one accountable this season, her recent statement on WWHL that she has learned from her past “mistakes” (Rinna’s word, not ours) towards Denise Richards (and LVP, we wonder?) and whether a leopard can really change its spots or is Lisa Rinna never going to not be able to ultimately urge her cast mates to “own it”. Yea, we went there. Finally, we chat with Sutton about her “rose” and “thorn” of the season and what is the one big thing she regrets. Once thing is for sure, Sutton sure has earned that diamond this season! @suttonstracke @behindvelvetrope @davidytontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

America’s Next Top Model Second Runner Up, Eugena Washington, steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home in Los Angeles, California, Eugenia is here to tell it all and she DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! One day, Eugena saw an “Apply Here” casting call on the CW Website for Cycle Seven of America’s Next Top Model. Always being called a Model in High School, she figured “why not” and sent her application in. That one click of a button led to an open casting call of over 2,000 Model Hopefuls. Over the course of two long days, those 2,000 were narrowed down to 50 and so on and so forth until Tyra Banks and The Executive Producers had their Cycle Seven cast chosen. Months later, she got the fateful call telling her to pack her bags and off to the infamous ANTM Model Apartment she went. As prepared as she thought she was, nothing could prepare Eugena for the reality of filming one of America’s notoriously most pressure filled reality shows. Pressure filled from the other models as well as pressure filled from Producers who Eugena is clear to point out, “were not our friends”. The 16 hour days with no sleep and cameras in your face the second you woke up certainly did not help at all. Eugena explains how she and the other Models were manipulated by Producers to bring the drama, how everything they said could and would be used against them, and how stressful the weekly eliminations were. Eugena also discusses famed Creative DIrector Jay Manuel as well as judges Janice Dickinson, Miss J, Nigel Barker and Twiggy. Finally, we discuss the woman, the myth, the diva, the legend, The One, The Only, Miss Tyra Banks!

Alexis Neiers Haines steps Behind The Rope. If that name sounds familiar to you, it is probably because Alexis was one of the several teenagers who made up the “Bling Ring”, the infamous group of, rumored to be “fame obsessed”, teenagers who broke into several celebrities homes for clothes, shoes and other personal items. The celebrities whose homes were targeted included the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson and Orlando Bloom. Alexis opens up about that time in her life - not only the how, what, where and, most importantly, why of the “Bling Ring” but what was it like to be caught and serve time behind bars. Alexis has struggled with addiction most of her typing adult life. She is very open and honest in this chat about that addiction, particularly to heroin, her dark times, her road to recovery and what it is like to “come out the other side”. While all this was going on, Alexis and her sisters were filming the classic E reality show “Pretty Wild”, no pun intended. We chat with her about that Iconic one season wonder and what is was like to be arrested while the “cameras were rolling”. David and Alexis chat about the “reality”, or lack thereof, in Reality TV, her “Life Reset Course” to help pay forward all she has learned in recovery, and whether celebrities like Kim Kardashian are “doing enough” with their platform to help those in need. They also chat about Sophia Coppola’s 2013 film “The Bling Ring” in which Emma Watson played her and Paris Hilton, a good sport, played herself. Alexis fills us in on her road to recovery, sobriety, and stellar Podcast aptly titled, “Recovering From Reality”.

Dorinda Medley steps Behind The Rope. You have read that correctly. Miss Medley is here to “Make It Nice”. Not only is “Make It Nice” one of Dorinda's epic sayings that originated during her six year run on The Real Housewives of New York City, but it is the title of her brand new book out today. Checking in from her iconic home known as Blue Stone Manor, Dorinda is here to share what the process of writing this book was like, what, if anything, was too personal to include, and how she is forever changed as a person now that her baby is complete about to be birthed into the world. Dorinda opens up about some of the themes shared in the book - becoming a widow at a young age, battling anorexia and body dysmorphia, and picking oneself up to keep always moving forward. If you think you know Dorinda Medley, let us not forget she started on RHONY at nearly age 50 and has lived quite the life prior. In other current Dorinda news, we chat Dorobics, her new Bourbon line, and, of course, the status of her love life - is there a special man vying to become Mr. Medley? Finally, we check in with Dorinda about her future, the possibility of returning to TV and, last, but certainly not least, what she thinks of this current season of RHONY and all its Apple Holders. Dorinda Medley like you have never heard her before in this special two day event to celebrate the release of “Make It Nice”. ** For more information on where you can buy Dorinda’s stellar “Make It Nice” and possibly see her for live signings, go to https://www.dorindamedley.com or check your local book sellers everywhere! @dorindamedley @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

DJ Richie Skye steps Behind The Rope. There is no one more connected in the DMV than Mr. Skye and we could not think of anyone better to help break down all that is going on this season on The Real Housewives of Potomac than Richie Skye. First things first, we chat about how we think our fav ladies are doing this season. We discuss the current lives of Gizelle, Karen, Ashley, Candiace, Robyn, Wendy and newbie Mia. We chat about Wendy’s glow up, the disappearance of the professor, "Zen Wen” and Mia coming in hot. We break down exactly what a "Hot Box” is, a “Sing Sing” is and how The Grand Dame seems to be pulling a Lu de Lesseps and finding the humor in it, and herself, all these seasons later. Has anyone seen The Grand Dame’s appearance on WWHL this season? The award for Most Comedic goes to… Richie also weighs in on whether Robyn has her own identity outside of Gizelle - something Gizelle read us here at The Rope for asking a few weeks back during out little chat. Speaking of Gizelle, we discuss whether she is truly the cause of all the drama as one half of The Green-Eyed Bandits or is she just a girl’s girl trying to help her fellow friends and frenemies. We chat about how RHOP feels much lighter this season and whether we miss Miss Monique Samuels. As far as ratings go, RHOP is on the rise. We chat about why it has taken so long for RHOP to find an audience and how, out of all the Housewives this year, it may be the true leader that has come out on top. Looking ahead, we chat about whether this is the right cast and discuss any changes we should make next year. Too soon? Tune in as Richie (host of “Reality Talk” on Youtube & “Unfiltered” on Podcast One) helps us make sense of it all. #RHOP @djrichieskye @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef LISTEN TO FULL EPISODE AT: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54577146 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Princesses: Long Island's Amanda Bertoncini steps Behind The Rope. Amanda Bertoncini is here to tell it all. Princesses: Long Island. Where to begin? Amanda explains how the concept for the show came about, how it was “cast” and how it ultimately found its way, after a brief journey, to Bravo as it's home. Amanda explains what growing up on Long Island’s North Shore was really like and why the timing for a show like Princesses: Long Island seemed right. Amanda discusses the concept of the show, a series of young women out of college for a short period of time who end up living back with their parents in well to do enclaves of Long Island, New York. We discuss the difference between how the show was marketed, portrayed and perceived as a series of rich young entitled Long Islanders versus the reality of the struggles, both financially and emotionally, most of the cast were facing on and off camera in real life. Amanda also opens up about how hard it is to film a reality show with a bunch of other woman with similar personalities and how it is almost impossible for many of those friendships to survive the strains of Reality TV. Yes, Amanda had drama with many of her cast mates before, during and after the filming of Princesses. No discussion of Princesses: Long Island would be complete without the origins of the shows' name and how Amanda and the rest of the cast felt when they were told this would be the name of the series. We discuss how and why, despite Bravo being the perfect home for this show, it was cancelled after just one short season due in large part to the public outcry of the negative stereotypes the show portrayed of Jewish Women. Amanda and David discuss why they think it will always live on as one of the classic Bravo favorites of all time. Finally, back in a simpler BravoVerse, Bravolebrities had more direct access to “Boss Man” Andy Cohen, and we needed ALL of Amanda’s first hand experiences with the man, the myth, the legend. Of course, there is also that time her appearance on Watch What Happens Live was cancelled! Yup, true story.

Marliu talks about her talk show - the good and bad, the current landscape of talk shows - WWHL (yes, we chat about Daddy Cohen and Housewives!), The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and would she ever return to the format. Of course, we deep dive into her reality TV Career - a two season appearance on Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing With The Stars chatting about those experiences and some of her co-stars Lisa Rinna, Omarosa, Claudia Jordan, La Toya Jackson. One thing is for sure, Marilu will remember this appearance on the “Behind The Velvet Rope” Podcast for the REST of her life. That is right, she has a fascinating total recall memory where she can remember the details of what happened on specific dates and years!!! Can you even imagine? Finally, Marilu has a new Off Broadway Play currently in Bucks County, “The Marilu Henner Show” which has been selling out to rave reviews night after night.

Barbara Kavovit steps Behind The Rope. Ok, you can call her Barbara K., as she is best known from her time on The Real Housewives of New York City. Joining us to help Barb break it all down from her time on RHONY is the first ever Behind The Velvet Rope Co-Host, Ms. Elyse Slaine. Elyse has appeared on Behind The Velvet Rope so many times at this point, we figured it was only appropriate to bestow upon her the much sought after coveted Co-Host title. It’s a RHONY “Friend Of” Extravaganza!! Taking her Co-Host duties very seriously, Elyse helps us chat with Barb about her upbringing as “Barbie from the Bronx” where her love of construction began, what it was like “back in the day” as a woman to enter a male dominated field, being hired to demolish Harvey Weinstein’s old office, her run for Mayor of NYC, and future political aspirations. We then turn the tables and chat with both Elyse and Barbara about the origins of their friendship, their respective experiences on RHONY, the ups and downs with various cast members such as Dorinda, Ramona, Luann, Bethenny and Sonja, and the status of each of those relationships today. We also chat with Elyse about her friendship with current “Friend Of” Bershan Shaw, contemplate Bershan’s likelihood of returning as this current season of RHONY chugs along and discuss the epic night in The Hamptons Barb recently had with Eboni K. Williams.

Erika Jayne’s Performance. The time has come to break it all down. Joined by the only two people we know who chat with, meet, know and interview as many Housewives as us here Behind The Rope - the girls from the official Access Hollywood Digital Series "Housewives Nightcap”, Emily Orozco & Lauren Herbert. We discuss this season of RHOBH focusing on Erika’s story - do we believe all that we see, is she backtracking and purposely dropping false clues to cover her tracks and make her story believable, or is she truly a woman scorned trying to rebuild her life facing the newfound challenges of being on her own with Tiago. We chat about Tom's "car crash", Erika's new "small' digs coming in at just over 2000 sq. ft, and her recent on line behavior on Twitter and Instagram. In other RHOBH news, we chat about the recent headlines that Dorit and PK allegedly owe money in unpaid taxes, the use of the word “violation”, were Crystal’s leather, or pleather, pants really ugly, and the gift that is Icon Kathy Hilton. @emilyorozcotv @laurenherbert @accesshollywood @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef *** FULL EPISODE CAN BE HEARD AT: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54433834/edit See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There is much more to Baylee though than his famous last name. Baylee knew from a young age music was in his blood. He started writing songs in his pre-teen years and made his Broadway debut at the young age of thirteen in “Disaster”. Baylee’s biggest musical influences are Tim McGraw, John Mayer and Florida Georgia Line. Baylee’s debut album, 770-Country, was released to rave reviews, the latest single “Some Guys” which just dropped. Baylee performed the majority of this album as an opening act for The Backstreet Boys on the North American leg of their sold out DNA World Tour. We chat life about what life on the road with one of the most Iconic Boy Bands in history is like and celeb run ins with the likes of Donnie Wahlberg, DJ Pauly D. and Keith Urban. We kiki with Baylee about the process of writing an album at such a young age, what his inspirations were for 770-Country, playing to sold out arenas night after night, life on the road, exactly what advice his Backstreet Boy Dad provided about the business, whether he would ever make a pop record a la The Backstreet Boys, and just what is next for this young musician already on his way to a career to rival his Dad’s. @bayleelittrell_music @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Janice Dickinson steps back Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World’s First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America’s Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen’s “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice’s early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra’s notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. Did we mention the whole reason Janice was here was thanks to her good friends, literary agent Alan Nevins and celebrity chef Joey Santos. Not only do these guys know Janice well, they know everyone, and we mean everyone in Hollywood and are talking about it on their stellar new Podcast aptly titled, “Two Guys From Hollywood”. On their Pod, they don’t dish, they serve. Literally, they serve food and drinks (thank you Joey) to their guests each week while they unpack never before heard tidbits from some of the entertainment business finest including, but not limited to, our BFFs from across the river Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania and, well, yours truly. Thanks boys for all, especially for delivering Icon in the Flesh Miss Janice Dickinson Behind The Rope. (Our initial chat with Janice Dickinson aired March 4, 2021.

Ralph Pittman Jr. steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Real Housewives of Atlanta is here to chat about it all. Made in New Jersey, we knew we liked Ralph for a reason, Ralph chats about life off camera, some of which we have yet to see on our TV screens each week on Bravo’s highest rated of the Housewives’ Franchises - football (Go Rutgers University), music (“My Mind Music” Project, “The Preacher’s Son” Movie), and Fitness (‘Ripped With Ralph”, “Drop It With Drew and Ralph”), to name a few. Ralph breaks down how and where he met Mrs. Drew Sidora, what their first date was like, their whirlwind courtship, engagement, and ultimate wedding in 2014. Flash forward, and Ralph found himself a Real House Hubby on The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Thirteenth Installment thanks to his wife, Drew Sidora being given her Peach. We chat with Ralph about his Freshman Season on RHOA, what he has learned as a result of it, and what advice he got from fellow Peach House Hubbys Mike Hill and Todd Tucker. Ralph open’s up about some of last season’s highlights - disappearing for three days to Tampa, Florida - will he ever live that down?, the ups and downs of his marriage to Drew, and their unselfish decision to introduce their son Josiah to his biological father who wanted to re-establish a presence in the boy’s life after his incarceration. Of course, we needed Ralph’s opinion on the scandal that rocked the A-T-L these past few weeks, the engagement of RHOA’s Porsha William’s to ex-BFF Falynn Guobadia’s ex-husband Simon. With contracts about to go out for Season 14 of RHOA, we chat with Ralph about what he plans to do different once he and Drew sign on, c'mon as if they aren’t going to be asked, what he is looking forward to about next season, which wife he doesn’t want back, who from the RHOA he would like to see back, and just what is next for Ralph Pittman Jr and rest of the Pittman / Sidora clan. @ralphpittmanjr @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CHOPSAVER - https://www.chopsaver.com (15% Off - Use Code “Velvet”) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Carolina Bermudez steps Behind The Rope. First things first, Carolina addresses all of those many viral rumors that she was contacted by the The Real Housewives of New York City to join the RHONY franchise next Season, Season 14, as an Apple Holder. Of course, in true Rope fashion, you don’t think we let Ms. Bermudez off that easily. We discuss who she knows on the current cast, who she knows from casts past, what type of Real Housewife she would be, who she thinks she would befriend, who she has heard from in the RHONY and BravoVerse since this viral press, any reservations she would have in joining and last, but certainly not least, whether the fact that she would be the first Latina NYC Housewife would factor into her decision to join the once top rated franchise. Moving on, did we mention Carolina has had one epic career in the entertainment sector including stints as a Red Carpet Reporter, Senior Editor at In Touch Weekly, and even a recurring role on "One Life To Live”. The majority of Carolina’s career was spent at Z100 with Elvis Duran and currently at iHeart’s KTU where she hosts the “Carolina with Greg T” Morning Show. Carolina has interviewed EVERYONE. We discuss some of her most Iconic Chats - Madonna (one of her most difficult interviews from Dylan’s Candy Bar), Katy Perry (Carolina is the one responsible for “outing” Katy’s 25M Idol Salary), Britney (one of the last to interview her before her Conservatorship took place), JLO (there are makeup tips and Carolina shares a Bennifer update), Kelly Clarkson (who sung Carolina’s pregnancy announcement to the world), Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Adam Levine, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Sting and many many more. Caroline discusses the nice, the not so nice, and everything in between from behind the mic of each of these epic chats. Finally, we chat about her home life in Long Island - happily married to the love of her life with whom she just celebrated a 10 year wedding anniversary and two young boys who are too camera shy to take a pic with Sting and well behaved on an intercontinental flight from Costa Rica. Happily married with two young children. Now there is something we haven’t seen on The Real Housewives of New York City in quite a while. Can someone get Andy Cohen on the phone please? @therealcarolina @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CHOPSAVER - https://www.chopsaver.com (15% Off - Use Code “Velvet”) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Audrey Landers steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Audrey Landers. Afton Cooper from the iconic, mega hit, fourteen year long run TV show, Dallas. After a brief chat about how Audrey ended up in LA to pursue her career in acting, we chat about how she got her role on Dallas. She chats about her early days on the hit TV show, who she felt most and least welcome by, and the challenges of coming into an already mega hit TV show with a cast that was tight. Speaking of a cast that was tight, mostly, Audrey opens up about all of her cast mates including, but not limited to, Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, and Charlene Tilton. She also chats about Victoria Principal who notoriously was considered “an outsider” by the others and dissects the truth behind that rumor. Audrey chats about what she loved most, and least, about playing Afton Cooper and which storylines she thinks went too far. We discuss the rich storytelling of Dallas, how it was truly the leader that changed the game in the nighttime soap genre, how it invented the cliffhanger, and how Eighty Three Million People who watched, and asked all summer, “Who Shot J.R?” will never be recreated again. After four short seasons (yes, it wasn’t enough) playing Afton, Audrey left Dallas for a role in the hit movie “A Chorus Line”, where she got to show off her singing and dancing. That’s correct, Audrey has had an illustrious singing career. Flash forward and Audrey returned to Dallas to reprise her role as Afton in the original and then again in 2012 in the reboot of Dallas. We chat about what it’s like to play such an iconic role for so long, getting typecast in Hollywood, how far Hollywood has come, or not come, in offering interesting roles for women over forty, how far they still have to go, and the “me-too” movement and its affect on the industry. Of course, there is also her recent audition for Mr. Ryan Murphy! @audreylandersofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CHOPSAVER - https://www.chopsaver.com (15% Off - Use Code “Velvet”) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gizelle Bryant steps Behind The Rope. The Real Housewives of Potomac, Season Six. How did we get here? Gizelle is here to answer that question and chat about all we can expect this season on RHOP. Gizelle first chats about how this season is different for her than the past five. Then we break down all of her co-stars - her current relationships with and storylines we can expect from Candiace Dillard, Wendy Osefo, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon, Ashley Darby plus newcomer Mia Thornton. Gizelle addresses all the on-line chatter about her “always being at the center of the drama” and the on-line chatter that Robyn is loyal to her to a fault. Gizelle also explains the “lighter mood” on RHOP due to the absence of the central Season Five storyline involving Monique Samuels. Of course, we discuss her on-again, off-again, currently off relationship with Pastor Jamal Bryant. On that note, we chat about Gizelle’s self described “Hot Single Girl Summer”, her desire to date, current relationship status and “type” of man who would be ideal. Switching gears, we chat about “Bravo’s Chat Room” - what being part of that show was like, the current status of the show, Kate Chastain’s unclear exit from the show (especially since she was a Producer), and Kate Chastain’s comments that working with both Hannah Berner and Porsha Williams was less than desirable. Finally, Gizelle explains how she wants to be remembered from this current Season Six, chats about how RHOP is no longer the Housewives Franchise to be underestimated and describes just what is next for this RHOP Lady Boss who refuses to slow down! Oh, and in the last few minutes, Gizelle cannot let us go without a special "shout out" to Miss Ramona Singer! @gizellebryant @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CHOPSAVER - https://www.chopsaver.com (15% Off - Use Code “Velvet”) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Fernanda Rocha steps Behind The Rope. You have heard, read, and written so much about her, we here Behind The Rope figured it was time to sit down with the woman behind the on-line myths to discuss it all. Of course, at the forefront of that discussion is her current relationship with former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke that went viral when announced a few weeks back. 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 has received, her “role” in the relationship as someone who has been an out lesbian for many years, and what she would like to say to the naysayers who claim their relationship has ulterior motives. Fernanda also chats about the recent RHOC cast changes, what it was really like for Braunwyn when she received the news that she wont be part of next season, and her thoughts on cast choices such as Heather Dubrow, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador and the rumored newbies / friends of Tamra Judge, Noella Bergener and Nicole James. She answers whether she would ever go back and chats “spin off” with Braunwyn. Of course, there is more to Fernanda than recent tabloid headlines and ties to the RHOC. Fernanda chats about her Laguna Beach Gym, “Art of Fitness”, discusses how to shed the Covid 15, dispels many fitness and nutrition myths, and chats fitness trends. Speaking of fitness, we couldn’t help but ask her thoughts about former fellow RHOC Tamra Judge’s infamous, “Cut Fitness” - answering the questions, did she ever see them as a real rival and is she shocked to see them closed. Are we being shady? In all seriousness, check out Fernanda’s “Art of Fitness” for all the work out motivation you need! @fernandarochafitness @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Constantine Maroulis steps Behind The Rope. Of course, we all know Constantine originally from American Idol. First, we reminisce with Constantine about Idol days of past - Randy, Paula, Simon and chat about Idol 2.0, whether singing competition shows like Idol still work, and test Constantine’s knowledge of whether he can name any of Idol's recent winners.

Seems our little chat regarding his “appearance” on RHONY, and by “appearance” we mean his “hidden identity” revealed as the man who has allegedly “been”, for lack of a better word, with three of our fav Apple Holders, Lu, Ramona and The Tins, had a viral moment. We chat with Constantine about the “fall out” from that chat, Countess Lu’s reaction, and whether he has heard from Ramona and The Tins as well. Of course we push for new and unrevealed details every step of the way! We also chat with Constantine about the current RHONY cast asking, of course, if he has ever met Leah and Eboni, just what are his thoughts on each and, well, okay, a whole lot more! Moving on from RHONY, Constantine has a new radio show “Cuz Saturday Rocks” where he will be playing hits and interviewing musicians from our favorite decades of music, The 80s and 90s. Having interviewed many 80s and 90s acts ourselves here Behind The Rope, we compare our favs from each decade, yes Madonna is included, as well as Britney, ’N Sync, Prince, Cyndi Lauper, and many more. Finally, we chat about the current state of the music industry, chart topping favs and much more.

RHOBH’s Dana Wilkey stopped by for a chat a moment ago about all that is going on with Erika & Tom and many other current happenings these days in Bev Hills. That is what Ms. Wilkey now does best. After that chat,, we wanted to keep the conversation going to talk about her time on the show during the first few, now infamous, seasons of RHOBH. Yes, we got Miss $25,000 Sunglasses to talk about the Infamous Sunglasses, we had SO many questions about them, and a whole lot more. We check in with Dana to chat about all she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens on RHOBH as Taylor Armstrong’s “Friend” many seasons ago. We also need to know the behind the scenes of the infamous “Game Night” scene where the tension between The Richards Sisters Kyle and Kim and Brandi Glanville came to a much heated boil. Infamous times, we know. Dana chats about RHOBH of yesteryear - Adrienne, Camille, LVP - who she considers cold - and of course the beginning, middle and end of her friendship with Taylor Armstrong. We also chat about Brandi Glanville who joined the show the same season as Dana and in typical Dana fashion, she tells us what Brandi is really like not holding anything back.

Hey Upper East Siders, this past weekend something we knew would happen, happened. The Reboot of Gossip Girl became HBO Max’s most watched original series trending on Twitter, TikTok and all other social media platforms. The original Gossip Girl, unlike Bravo’s NYC Prep, was a huge juggernaut which aired on the CW for 6 glorious seasons from 2007 to 2012 and helped launch the mega careers of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick and Taylor Momsen into the stratosphere. One key member of this brilliant ensemble cast was Zuzanna Szadkowski, who played fan favorite Dorota, Blair Waldorf’s loyal housekeeper. We are thrilled to have Zuzanna here today to chat about the behind the scenes of making this brilliant, classic TV show. We chat with Zuzanna about how she was cast and what filming Gossip Girl was really like. We also chat about those infamous scenes between her and Leighton Meester, some of which will go down as the best in TV history. We also chat about now mega star Blake Lively and what the set was like on the days that then boyfriend, now husband, Ryan Reynolds came by for a visit. We talk about the critics reception of Gossip Girl and the resulting outcry from parents once the show aired. Shooting for the entirely of its run in NYC, we chat with Zuzanna about her favorite things in NYC. Of course, we need Zuzanna’s thoughts on where Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass would be today and would Dorota still be working for them? Of course, we also pay homage to its reality sister, NYC Prep. Might we see a cameo by Dorota in the now trending Gossip Girl Reboot? Well, you will just have to listen to find out. @zuzannawanda @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NUTRAFOL - https://www.nutrafol.com ($15 Off 1st Month’s Subscription + Free Shipping on Every Order - Use Code “VELVET”) Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kevin O’Leary steps Behind The Rope. Shark Tank’s Mr. Wonderful! Let us start at the beginning. Kevin talks about how he initially became involved with Reality TV SuperGuru Mark Burnett and how Shark Tank found its way into our lives all those years ago. Kevin talks about being the King of Mean, Shark Tank’s Simon Cowell, or, in other words, just brutally honest about the potential entrepreneurs’ likelihood of success. Of course we pay homage to Mr. Wonderful’s epic catch phrases about being crushed like cockroaches, taken out behind the barn and shot, your dead to me (a personal fav) and of course, how all roads lead back to Mr. Wonderful! On a more serious note, we chat the biggest deal in Shark Tank History - it was Kevin’s, his best and worst deal based on ROI, the ones that got away and if there are ever any products in the tank that go on to success of massive proportions that he just doesn't understand. Tipsy Elves, Scrub Daddy, Squatty Potty - we are looking at you. Of course we also discuss Mr. Wonderful’s colleagues on Shark Tank - Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and Damon John as well as guest judges Alex Rodriguez and last, but certainly not least, our very own Skinny Girl Mogul, Ms. Bethenny Frankel. We break down many of the analytics behind the scenes like how many deals don’t close once filming is over, who makes the most deals, and who does Kevin lose most deals to. While we have one of the most brilliant business minds with us, we discussed what qualities make for a good entrepreneur, what is the biggest misconception amongst entrepreneurs, the 24/7 work ethic required, the biggest mistakes most business owners make and just how important is the person versus the product. We discuss the one thing Mr. Wonderful loves the most. M-O-N-E-Y - what it stands for, why he loves it so much, and why are most people shy about saying, “ I love Money”!!! We sure do! Finally, we break down what being a public figure is like - red carpets, celeb run ins, people running down the street screaming “Mr. Wonderful” and what an amazing byproduct that is all from a little show which has turned into an international global blockbuster of a sensation, Shark Tank!!! @kevinolearytv @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NUTRAFOL - https://www.nutrafol.com ($15 Off 1st Month’s Subscription + Free Shipping on Every Order - Use Code “VELVET”) Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kirsten Jordan steps Behind Rope. The newest cast member of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York is here to talk about what it’s like being the new kid on the block, the first woman for the NY franchise, and, what else, NYC Real Estate! Kirsten chats about her rise to the top, how Covid affected the market, the “joys” of virtual showings, fav areas in NYC and The Hamptons and what trends we can expect to see as 2021 plays out. Kirsten also chats about joining the “all boys club” on MDLNY, her first and current impressions of cast members Fredrik Eklund, Ryan Serhant, Steve Gold and Tyler Whitman, who she would hire as her broker, the over the top open houses we have all become accustomed to each week on MDLNY, why looking at multi million dollar properties never gets old and some of the drama we can expect to see the rest of this brilliant season. On a more serious note, Kirsten chats about working with her husband Stefano Farsura, a successful NYC Real Estate Developer, both off and on camera and what being the “first woman broker” on MDLNY means to her. Finally, being a fan of Bravo before getting cast, Kirsten talks about the Bravolebrities she has met, who she wants to meet, upcoming BravoCon, and her west coast MDLLA colleagues.

America’s Next Top Model Second Runner Up, Eugena Washington, steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home in Los Angeles, California, Eugenia is here to tell it all and she DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! One day, Eugena saw an “Apply Here” casting call on the CW Website for Cycle Seven of America’s Next Top Model. Always being called a Model in High School, she figured “why not” and sent her application in. That one click of a button led to an open casting call of over 2,000 Model Hopefuls. Over the course of two long days, those 2,000 were narrowed down to 50 and so on and so forth until Tyra Banks and The Executive Producers had their Cycle Seven cast chosen. Months later, she got the fateful call telling her to pack her bags and off to the infamous ANTM Model Apartment she went. As prepared as she thought she was, nothing could prepare Eugena for the reality of filming one of America’s notoriously most pressure filled reality shows. Pressure filled from the other models as well as pressure filled from Producers who Eugena is clear to point out, “were not our friends”. The 16 hour days with no sleep and cameras in your face the second you woke up certainly did not help at all. Eugena explains how she and the other Models were manipulated by Producers to bring the drama, how everything they said could and would be used against them, and how stressful the weekly eliminations were. Eugena also discusses famed Creative DIrector Jay Manuel as well as judges Janice Dickinson, Miss J, Nigel Barker and Twiggy. Finally, we discuss the woman, the myth, the diva, the legend, The One, The Only, Miss Tyra Banks! We are only getting started.

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. With all this talk about Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke being “out” of RHOC, has anyone stopped to think, or ask, “hey Elizabeth Vargas, how you doin’?” First things first, we chat with Elizabeth about how she is doing since receiving the news that she is no longer part of RHOC and will not be coming back for Season Sixteen. Then, we chat with Elizabeth about her RHOC experience - the good, the bad, the other - and what she will take away now joining the likes of Former Orange holder Peggy Sulahian and many others from various cities as part of the “One Season Wonder” Club. We address many fans’ criticism of ill fated Season 15 as “the worst in Housewives History” and break down exactly where and why it all went off the rails. We chat about how Elizabeth found out she was not continuing with Bravo, her shock level on a scale from one to ten about the decision, why she thinks the decision was made and her prior social media posts that she will definitely be back. Elizabeth also discusses her reaction to the fact that Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke will also not be back - how surprised was she to learn of her co-stars’ fate and why she thinks they too will no longer be holding an Orange. Of course, we break down the remaining current cast of Emily, Gina, and Shannon analyzing whether each was a good decision as well as the return of Heather Dubrow and just how much Heather’s return played a role in any of these many decisions. With the old saying “misery loves company”, we need to know just who Elizabeth has heard from from casts past - Megan King Edmonds, Gretchen Rossi, Jesus Juggs, Gina Keough, Lynne Curtin and so on and whether, somewhere, Miss Victoria Gunvalson is whooping it up with an extra Tequila, preferably at Andales, now that Braunwyn is “off her show” (hey, don’t shoot the messenger just doing our job). Yes, we address Tamara Judge rumors that she will be back as a “friend of” and break down just how true we feel those are. Finally, Elizabeth addresses the many misconceptions she feels viewers have about her, how she would like to be remembered from her one season, whether she will be the next “Jill Zarin” who talks about Housewives for decades to come or be able to adequately move on with her life and, for anyone who loves vodka as much as we do, explains why Vargas Vodka is some of the best out there. @elizabethlynvargas @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NUTRAFOL - https://www.nutrafol.com ($15 Off 1st Month’s Subscription + Free Shipping on Every Order - Use Code “VELVET”) Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Oh Mickey, you’re so fine. You’re so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey. You know the rest. Everyone knows the rest! Toni Basil steps Behind The Rope. Yup, THAT Toni Basil who broke many records with one of the biggest hits and most catchy songs, well, ever. Toni is here to chat about her entire career, a career that has spanned a whopping six decades and still going strong. A career that includes dancing, choreographing, singing, and acting. We start at the beginning, Toni was drawn to the business at a young age with parents who were entertainers, taking up dance and cheering while in High School. Toni’s passion for dance, she was one of the seven original Lockers, landed her premiere gigs as a choreographer working with musical icons like Tina Tuner and David Bowie. Toni opens up about what working with each was like and what music legends she would still like to work with. Toni has also choreographed many of our fav films including “My Best Friends Wedding” - we chat about what working with Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz was like - and “Legally Blond” - we chat about the joys of teaching Reese Witherspoon moves and the infamous “bend and snap”. One Icon Toni has, not only worked with, but became close lifelong friends with is Bette Midler. Toni chats about what working with Bette is like and what it is like to be BFF’s with one of the most recognized women in the world. Toni chats about how she went from choreographer behind the camera to singer with “Mickey”, a song that tops every Top 100 songs of the 80’s list ever made. Toni chats about what it was like to be a singer in the early 1980s when contemporaries like Madonna were rising up the musical scene as well. We discuss the influence of MTV in helping make a singer’s career in the early 80s and the concept, dance, and look - she wore her original high school cheerleading sweater - she created for “Mickey” which helped make it one of the most played videos in MTV’s early days. A triple threat, Toni has also starred in many movies and TV shows working with greats like Robert Downy, Jr. and Penny Marshall. Toni chats about how the business has changed over the years, what she thinks of current music, who she would like to play her in the movie of her life, and what is next for the woman who just doesn’t want to slow down. Finally, we need to know about the last time she hit the town with BFF Bette Midler and just what do these two lifelong friends do for a girls night out.

Tiffany steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Tiffany. No last name needed Tiffany. Checking in from the road from the North American Leg of her “Shadows” Tour, one thing is clear. Tiffany is thrilled to be back on the road performing songs from her 11th full length studio album “Shadows” as well as all her retro hits we have come to know and love so much. .Tiffany chats about what it was like to larger than life famous at the young age of 16, thanks, in large part to her catchy hit “I Think We’re Alone Now” as well as a ground breaking, now infamous, mall tour that took her across America. Tiffany chats about her almost four decade long music career which has included every genre of music - pop, punk, country, ballads, rock and the ups and downs she has faced in the music business along the way. We chat about some of those other Female Icons that ruled the charts at the time Tiffany came into her own - Madonna, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Paula Abdul, and Cyndi Lauper. We chat about her best celeb experiences - she really has met everyone - and how music has changed over the years. Tiffany discuses those other aspects of her career such as acting and reality TV - shows she has been involved in, the good, the bad, the other. Of course, we had to chat about her ties to Debbie Gibson, their friendship, their starring roles together in the SyFy classic “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (yes, it is as good as it sounds), and why the public always has associated and does and will associate each with the other. We talk about some of Tiffany’s recent tours with other acts we just can’t get enough of like NKOTB, Salt-N-Pepa, and Naughty By Nature. Tiffany reveals the current crop of musical chart topers she puts her stamp of approval on and how different being famous at a young age in the social media world of today is to her epic breakthrough in the 80’s. Finally, seeing as Music Biopics are all the rage (Elton John, Freddy Mercury, Cher), Tiffany reveals who she would love to play her in her very own life story and just what can we expect from a potential Tiffany “tell-all” book. Have we mentioned just how thrilled we are that Tiffany is back live with new music touring the states for the remainder of the year! @tiffany_tunes @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef @glitterbgirls ** Our chat with Tiffany is preceded by a musical breakdown of some of our fav rocking ladies of the 80’s (joined by our fav 80s ladies from the @glitterbgirls Podcast) BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Best know for their songs “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You”, UB40 chats about their musical inspirations, the ups and downs of the music business, the secret to success and longevity in this business, and intense appreciation they have to still be selling out arenas on their global worldwide tour which will commence later this year in support of their just released album. Of course, we chat about what the music scene was like when they were “up and coming” with colleagues / contemporaries such as Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner and so on. Robin and Jimmy chat about that one time they “shunned” Sharon Stone from performing with them, their cameo in the underrated “Speed Two” with Sandra Bullock, what they think of Cher whose “I Got You Babe” they covered, the current state of music show competitions such as American Idol and America’s Got Talent, and the current state of the music industry today. One word, auto-tune. The boys now have a new album, “Bigga Baggariddim”, and are about to embark on a sold out stadium tour oversees. We look back, chat about the present and look ahead to what is next for this classic super group that just won’t slow down! @ub40official @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Real Housewives of Miami Cristy Rice steps back Behind The Rope. (For everyone who missed it, our Part I sit down with Cristy is available on our feed! Feel free to check it out.). We get right into it today. Cristy talks about how her and Larsa were “set up” by Lea Black during a Watch What Happens Live Appearance. She discusses Andy Cohen’s role. Juicy Stuff. She also discusses fellow cast mates Lea Black and Adriana de Moura, how they changed as a result of fame and being in the public eye. Also, Cristy reminds us that the only live reunion in reunion history was the Season One reunion of The Real Housewives of Miami. We discuss what that was like, what went horribly wrong, and how Andy Cohen handled the situation. She also discusses the pressures to “create” fake story lines such as dating on camera and the other “non real” aspects of RHOM, a reality show. She explains the disconnect between presenting her real life versus what the producers wanted, how Bethenny Frankel influenced her decision to do the show, the reality of what the show turned out to be, and how she felt she was edited once the show came out. Cristy discusses who she keeps in touch with from her cast of RHOM, how Miami is a “small place” where you can’t help but run into her fellow cast mates, and who she wishes she never sees again. We discuss her friendship with Larsa Pippen during the height of the hit Bravo show, their falling out, Larsa’s involvement with the Kardashians, and the current state of their friendship today. Of course, we address the age old question, “Would you ever go back?” which now that the show has been Green Lit and is currently filming to come back, makes this question more relevant than ever! @cristyrice12 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

John Blizzard steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT John Blizzard. The John Blizzard who sent those infamous text messages to Teddi Mellencamp that were at the focal point of “Puppygate” and Lucy Lucy Apple Juice’s adoption by Dorit Kemsley on the classic Bravo show that we all know and love so much, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Of course, we need a few things clarified about this situation and Mr. Blizzard is here to help. A wise choice if we must say so ourselves considering John Blizzard was at the center of this drama that we saw play out week after week on RHOBH. John opened up about what was going through his mind when these texts became a major storyline, when they, whether directly or indirectly ended a many year friendship between Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards, and ended his own “relationship”, whatever that may have been, with Teddi Mellencamp. John also gives us an update on the current state of affairs at Vanderpump Dogs and fills us in on what LVP and Ken Todd have been up to. We chat with John about this past season of RHOBH, newbies Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kathy Hilton and the changing by the day divorce between and alleged criminal investigation into Erika and Tom Girardi. Speaking of Bravo shows featuring LVP, John discusses the current state of filming for the new season of Vanderpump Rules, the terminations / exits of series regulars Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright, and the multitude of spin off and new VanderShows being pitched to Bravo and other networks. John chats with us about LVP’s reaction to the recent cast changes on Pump Rules and her thoughts on the matter. A Texas native, John is also close with many of our RHOD friends. You know what that means? We discuss the last season of The Real Housewives of Dallas, his own personal off camera relationships with D’Andra Simmons and the gang and share an update about OG LeeAnne Locken. Finally, we discuss the passing of Giggy Vanderpump, who as Andy Cohen recently tweeted, was the First Pet of Bravo. John fills us in on how Ken and Lisa are handling the situation considering Giggy was like a child to them and we chat about the BravoVerse’s outpouring of emotion for the beloved dog.

Isaac Mizrahi steps Behind The Rope. We have to stop meeting like this! Fashion Icon, Performer, Reality TV Star, Housewives Aficionado, Living Legend. Isaac and David get right into it breaking down some of Isaac’s forays in front of the camera such as “Unzipped”, his brilliant before its time Fashion Documentary, and his talk show which hosted a plethora of our fav celebs - Rosie O’Donnell, Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Harry, Queen Madonna, Project Runway All Stars and Bravo's The Fashion Show. Isaac talks about early life in NYC, acquiring his epic Greenwich Village Combo Apt, and the many wild nights out with Gal Pals Madonna and Sandra Bernhard. Of course, we needed all the details about what nights out looked liked for Isaac, Sandy B, and M back in the day. Think Burlesque, one famed East Side hotel, Dinner in Paris with Madonna Security, and Mr. Chow’s with, what else, a side of Naomi Campbell. Being a frequent guest on WWHL, Isaac knows all our fav Housewives. Isaac gives us his hot takes on Housewives fashion, these current seasons of RHONY and RHOBH, the ongoing debate of Dorit vs. Erica Jayne for “best dressed”, the every changing faces of the Housewives, and, being a cabaret star himself, Lu’s classic Countess Cabaret - coming back re-invented to a theater near you soon! Isaac chats about how fashion shows and red carpets have drastically changed over the past year, what he sees for the future of both as well as fashion and what we can expect from the upcoming Anna Wintour’s Met Ball - hosted by Timothée Chalamet and Billie Eilish. We also chat about the Sex In The City revival, the lack of Patricia Field’s involvement, and whether he has heard from BFF SJP about a potential role. Finally, it is June which can only mean one thing - Gay Pride Month and we could not think of a more quintessential gay New Yorker than Mr. Mizrahi to help break it all down. @imisaacmizrahi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Oh Mickey, you’re so fine. You’re so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey. You know the rest. Everyone knows the rest! Toni Basil steps Behind The Rope. Yup, THAT Toni Basil who broke many records with one of the biggest hits and most catchy songs, well, ever. Toni is here to chat about her entire career, a career that has spanned a whopping six decades and still going strong. A career that includes dancing, choreographing, singing, and acting. We start at the beginning, Toni was drawn to the business at a young age with parents who were entertainers, taking up dance and cheering while in High School. Toni’s passion for dance, she was one of the seven original Lockers, landed her premiere gigs as a choreographer working with musical icons like Tina Tuner and David Bowie. Toni opens up about what working with each was like and what music legends she would still like to work with. Toni has also choreographed many of our fav films including “My Best Friends Wedding” - we chat about what working with Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz was like - and “Legally Blond” - we chat about the joys of teaching Reese Witherspoon moves and the infamous “bend and snap”. One Icon Toni has, not only worked with, but became close lifelong friends with is Bette Midler. Toni chats about what working with Bette is like and what it is like to be BFF’s with one of the most recognized women in the world. Toni chats about how she went from choreographer behind the camera to singer with “Mickey”, a song that tops every Top 100 songs of the 80’s list ever made. Toni chats about what it was like to be a singer in the early 1980s when contemporaries like Madonna were rising up the musical scene as well. We discuss the influence of MTV in helping make a singer’s career in the early 80s and the concept, dance, and look - she wore her original high school cheerleading sweater - she created for “Mickey” which helped make it one of the most played videos in MTV’s early days. A triple threat, Toni has also starred in many movies and TV shows working with greats like Robert Downy, Jr. and Penny Marshall. Toni chats about how the business has changed over the years, what she thinks of current music, who she would like to play her in the movie of her life, and what is next for the woman who just doesn’t want to slow down. Finally, we need to know about the last time she hit the town with BFF Bette Midler and just what do these two lifelong friends do for a girls night out. @officialtonibasil @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Million Dollar Listing’s Bobby Boyd steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Josh Flagg. However, there is much more to Bobby Boyd than his husband. Coming from humble beginnings, Bobby became a male model at the young age of 14 in order to help pay for college. Even though Bobby had early success as a fashion model woking for major designers such as Versace and Calvin Klein, he set his sights on something else when he arrived in Los Angeles, Real Estate. Having a keen eye for style, architecture, design and a “personable” rather than “transactional” approach, Bobby’s first home sale was that of a $6.5 million dollar property, not bad, and a new career was born. Bobby then met a man who shared his interests and profession who happened to, not only be one of LA’s top real estate agents, but also one of the long standing members of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. Bobby chats about meeting Josh, their instant chemistry and connection, his position working with Josh at Rodeo Realty, a flash mob proposal in Paris and wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel, both of which were filmed by Bravo. Bobby chats about that, Josh’s sometime over the top extravagant style, and what working with his spouse every day is like. When not busy with MDL-LA, Bobby can be seen on his very own Lifestyle You Tube Channel, “Bobby Boyd Living” or selling his brand new aprons which are stylish, edgy and fun (no really check out his on line store). Finally, Bobby also discusses MDLLA - how does his style differ from Josh’s, the Brtits, Altman, Tracy Tutor and Fredrik Eklund, the conflicts, those over the top open houses, celeb clients and last, but not least, when we can expect and what we can expect from the upcoming MDLLA Season Thirteen. @bboydla @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Madonna’s Blond Ambition & Girlie Show Tour Dancer, Carlton Wilborn, steps Behind The Rope. One of the Iconic Seven chosen by Madonna herself to be part of the Record Breaking Blond Ambition Tour and subsequent Game Changer Film (the Real World and “Reality TV” did not exist!), Truth or Dare. After a brief foray into Carlton’s early career in dance, where he attended classes with Michelle Obama, we get right into how he was hired as one of Madonna’s Seven Blond Ambition Tour Dancers - the audition process, the answering machine message from M, the wild night out with Madonna, and the ultimate tour offer. In true Madonna fashion, she was the first, not only in the “reality” format but the first to show gay men with full actualized lives on screen. Carlton reflects about the 1980s and 1990s Madonna of yesteryear, what the country was like at the time with the initial onset of AIDS, and how he was able to perform night after night living with his own secret of being HIV positive. He also discussed what it was like to be on a tour that the Pope tried to ban, that was one of the highest grossing tours at that point to date, and which Rolling Stone lists as one of the 50 greatest of all time. Carlton details all the late night talks with Madonna, the after parties, and her advice. He talks about the constant parade of Celebrities backstage coming to pay respects and bow to Queen M. Carlton describes how he heard from Madonna years later when it was time to go back out on the road for The Girlie Show Tour. Carlton discusses the differences in himself, the production, the choreography, the music, and last, but certainly not least, in Madonna from The Blond Ambition Tour in 1990 to The Girlie Show Tour in 1993. Carlton discusses his relationship with Madonna after the end of that tour and how in 2016 Hollywood came a knocking, this time in the form of the phenomenal documentary Strike A Pose about the lives of the 7 male dancers who joined Queen M on her Blond Ambition Tour. Carlton opens up about his other accomplishments, acting, author, current life coach and what he would say to Madonna if she walked into the room today! @carltonwilbornrising @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Donna Mills steps Behind The Rope. One of the most recognized names in Nighttime Soaps, 80s Icon, Donna Mills. Donna is best known for her role as the scheming, manipulative vixen Abby Cunningham, or Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner to be exact, on Knots Landing, one of the longest running prime time soap operas in history. We are thrilled to have Donna here today to chat about her career, and life for that matter, in its entirety. We reminisce about all the glory that was, is, and will always be Abby Cunningham and Knot’s Landing including how Donna was cast, co-stars and real life best friends Joan Van Ark and Michelle Lee, the other recognizable faces that popped by the worlds most famous cul-de-sac such as Nicolette Sheridan and Alec Baldwin, and her decision to leave the show way before the world was done with Queen Abby. Moving on from Knots, Donna opens up about the evolution of women in Hollywood from the 1980s when shows like Knots were all the rage to present day, answering questions like how far have we come and how much farther do we have to go. We also chatted with Donna about some of our other favorite shows she has appeared on like Melrose Place, Nip/Tuck, and last, but not least, RuPaul’s Drag U (yes we think Mama Ru is a Knots fan!). Of course we had to chat with Donna about her thoughts on Reality TV and actresses like Lisa Rinna who have become Housewives throughout the years. Yes, Donna does know Rinna. Having posed for Playboy herself, Donna chats and shares stories from her illustrious frothy year career about the pressures of aging in Hollywood, the ever presence of plastic surgery amongst The Hollywood Elite, and the #MeToo Movement. Finally we chat with Donna about the current crop of television she has been binging, the current crop of “A List” actresses she puts her stamp of approval on and with reboots running rampant chat, hoping to will into existence, a Knot’s Landing Reboot. Ahh, a girl can dream, can’t she. Miss Mills, we are not worthy! @thedonnamills @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef *** Special shout out to our friend Actor, Model, #RHONJ Kathy Wakile’s “Son”, Mr. Does It All Gregory Zarian for making this sit down with Miss Donna Mills come to life!!

Juliet Angus steps Behind The Rope. One thing became very clear within the first few seconds of speaking to Juliet, SHE - KNOWS - EVERYONE! We do not mean she has met everyone. We mean know - we mean had dinner with - partied with - traveled with. Dorit and PK. Dorinda. Cary Dueber. Tinsley Mortimer. Paris Hilton. Nicole Richie. Tracy Tutor. We discuss it all, including “The Simple Life” remake she wanted to pursue with the one and only Caroline Stanbury. Speaking of Caroline Stanbury, let us just pay homage to the BEST Bravo show no longer on the air, “Ladies of London”. Juliet explains how Ladies of London was originally supposed to be a sociological experiment of Americans assimilating into British culture. A nice happy cultural show with no drama. We all know how that turned out. We talk about her Ladies of London co-stars Caroline Stanbury, Marissa Hermer, Caroline Fleming, Noelle Reno, Sophie Stanbury, Caprice Bourret, Adela King, and Juliet Montagu. We discuss who she knew before the show, which friendships were “tested” as a result of the show, and who she keeps in touch with today. We discuss her unapologetic friendship and loyalty to Caroline Stanbury and some of the most dramatic moments she remembers from being a cast member on the hit Bravo series. We discuss the evolution of the show and why it was such a huge cult classic in the states. We discuss the power of Bravo and what she thinks about a possible reunion. Finally, Juliet fills us in on her family life and her “Shop My Closet”. An episode not to be missed. @julietangus @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NUTRAFOL - https://www.nutrafol.com ($15 Off 1st Month’s Subscription + Free Shipping on Every Order - Use Code “VELVET”) Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today Brought to you by UNIDRAGON - https://www.unidragon.com (10% Off First Purchase - Use Code “VELVETROPES”) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Michelle Collins steps Behind The Rope. Comedian, TV Host, Pop Culture Aficionado, BravoHolic, Michelle Collins. Michelle started her career working on the classic VH1 pop culture show, “Best Week Ever” as well as early appearances on various talk shows such as Chelsea Lately, The Tyra Banks Show and The View. It was those appearances on The View that led to a permanent co-host position. Michelle chats about her various View Co-Hosts Whoppi Goldberg, Candace Cameron Bure, and so on. We also address those constant alleged “toxic environment” rumors on set, the rumored “hazing” behind the scenes and her exit from The View. Ok let us recover from THAT! Life went on for Michelle after The View, and, um, in a big way.

Ambyr Childers steps Behind The Rope. Let us just start with the obvious. Ambyr was a cast member on one of the best TV shows to ever exist, “You”. Ambyr talks about her screen stealing performance as Candace Stone in “You”, her shocking return in Season Two (totally unexpected), what we can expect for Season Three (yes, they are filming) and answer the question, will Candace make a return once again? We discuss what working with Gossip Girl (Reboot, July 8 - whoo hoo!) alum Penn Badgley was like, the John Stamos Season Two Cameo role (shout out to the Iconic “Full House”), and how a move from Lifetime to Netflix turned “You” into a viral sensation. Ambyr discusses what it is like to be an actress in Hollywood these days, the “me too” movement and how she has an incredible knack for playing “crazy” and “psychotic” really well. Let us also not forget, she got her start on another classic TV show, “All My Children”. Yes, we deep dive into the world of daytime soaps, the “stigmas” attached to being an actress or actor in daytime TV, All My Children, all that she learned from her time in Pine Valley, how it was to live alone in New York City at only Seventeen years old, and La Lucci a.k.a. Icon Susan Lucci. We also discuss some of Ambyr’s other stand out roles such as her time on the hit TV show “Ray Donovan”, what working with Liev Schreiber was like, her current “Ambyr Childers Jewelry” Line, which actress Kate Bosworth was also involved in, and what is next for her as an actress and in life now that the world is opening up!

Sutton Stracke steps Behind The Rope. With the drama already well underway this Season Eleven of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton is here to reflect back on her freshman year and look forward as to what is to come this season of RHOBH. Let us start with the obvious. Congrats Sutton!!! Now a Diamond Holder, in other words a full time cast member for those of you not well versed in your Bravo lingo, Sutton is here to dish it all. First things first, Sutton chats about all she has been up to in between her RHOBH seasons - renting Kyle Richards’ house, running “The Sutton Concept” and continuing her love of fashion, of course. Sutton chats about her brilliantly unique “Sutton Concept”, her fashion choices and styles, Dolce and Gabbana Crowns, her “hate” of leather pants, and why Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne are always thought of RHOBH’s resident fashion icons. Yes, Chrissy Teigen and Karen Huger, we are talking to you following your recent WWHL appearance. Sutton answers all our many questions about cast mates past, Brandi Glanville, Teddi Mellencamp, and, as she says, Denise Fu*king Richards and what it is like to no longer be the new kid on the block. Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kathy Hilton, we are now talking to you. On a more serious level, we chat with Sutton about how she has changed as a person as a result of Housewives, the best things to have come out of the RHOBH experience, the biggest misconceptions about Sutton Stracke, and what are some things we would be surprised to find out about her. Finally, we end with the one question on everyone’s mind, “just how different does it feel to be a Diamond Holder?” Well deserved Sutton.

Our fearless leader David Yontef went to High School with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Dorit Kemsley. Today, he finally breaks his silence to talk about what Miss Kemsley was like in High School. We have all seen the Year Book pictures circulating ‘round the web of the Dorit that existed before the 24/7 Louis Vuitton clad glamour puss we now see every week on our Bravo TV Screens. Pay special attention to the day David was “trapped at sea” with Miss Kemsley! There is no one better to help David recount all the details, facts and looks of a High School Dorit Kemsley than former RHOBH “Friend Of”, $25,000 Sunglasses herself, Dana Wilkey. We welcome her Behind The Rope here today! Dana is a vital part of the epic new special, “The Housewife & The Hustler”, which details the real-life legal drama of Mr. Tom Girardi and Miss Erika Jayne. Dana explains how she got involved with the upcoming special, what filming was like, what she heard Behind The Scenes, what she knows in real life about Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi, and how Bravo feels about the fact that a rival “Network” is diving deep into what they planned to lay out throughout the remainder of the RHOBH season. Finally, we chat about the current RHOBH season, the rumors that by admitting she takes Zoloft on TV Erika waived the doctor-patient privilege, the additions of Kathy Hilton and Crystal Kung Minkoff, the return of Teddi Mellencamp, a Diamond Holding Sutton, and who is the MVP of the RHOBH season thus far. @wilkey_dana @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef FULL EPISODE at: https://www.patreon.com/posts/52224722 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

NYC Prep. One of the gone, but definitely not forgotten, classic Bravo TV shows. Born and raised on New York City’s Upper East Side, Sydney Sadick’s childhood “was” NYC Prep. She has lived the real life “Gossip Girl”. On that note, she stops by to help us break down the classic Bravo TV Show “NYC Prep” which aired for one season, nine episodes, in the summer of 2009. Being the same age as the cast of “NYC Prep”, Sydney remembers the buzz amongst the uptown private elite school system that a real life Gossip Girl was casting way back when. Sydney chats with us about which of the six "NYC Prep” cast members she grew up with and what she knows about each in real life. Next we discuss just how does a show chronicling the lives of six wealthy uptown teenagers get made when those teenagers are going out at night living their lives as if they are adults. We discuss the highs and lows of the show and the public's outcry once the show was aired. We also discuss the glaring lack of parental supervision shown in “NYC Prep” and Sydney breaks down just how accurate a portrayal of a wealthy uptown teenager’s life the show was. We discuss why the show did not make it and only lasted for one short lived season. Of course, we also pay homage to its West Coast sister, “The Hills” and its Scripted Cousin “Gossip Girl” discussing the similarities and differences and why both of those shows were huge mega hits as opposed to “NYC Prep”. Sydney tells us how both Chase Crawford and Ed Westwick used to hang out near her private, uniformed, all girls high school on the UES with questions about what really goes on inside the halls of one of New York City’s elite schools. Yes, we answer all questions regarding “where are they now” with many shocking updates you have to hear to believe! Finally, we discuss what Sydney’s own life was like growing up between NYC’s Upper East Side and The Hamptons with a Celeb Doctor for a Dad. If you are wondering where Sydney is now, she is a a National Broadcast Contributor who regularly appears on NBC’s Today, GMA, Good Day New York, E! and Inside Edition, to name a few. She is also a Lifestyle and Fashion Expert whose book “Aim High” is a must read to help style your life and achieve your goals. There is no one more equipped for a deep dive into Bravo’s “NYC Prep” and Gossip Girl than our very own Sydney Sadick. @sydneysadick @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by UNIDRAGON - https://www.unidragon.com (10% Off First Purchase - Use Code “VELVETROPES”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Norma Kamali steps Behind The Rope. Living Legend, Fashion Icon Norma Kamali. Norma is here to chat about her new book, “ I Am Invincible”, which chronicles her several decade long career in Fashion and the business and life wisdom she has gained throughout the years. Norma opens up about some of the highlights of her career such the Sleeping Bag Coat, the high heeled sneaker, the before its time eBay partnership and her CFDA Lifetime Achievement award. We also talk about her one piece red bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the iconic 1976 poster as well as the bathing suit worn by Whitney Houston on the back cover of her 1985 debut album. We break down the relationship between celebrity and designer, the celebs Norma has worked with, and who she would love to design for. Norma discusses her involvement with Bravo’s Project Runway, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Tim Gunn, the show’s most notorious winner Christian Siriano, and whether shows like Project Runway “work” anymore. We analyze the changes in the fashion industry throughout the years, the current crop of Hollywood’s best and worst dressed, and the current crop of hot models such as Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. With Awards Season just wrapped, we chat about the current state of the red carpet, the decreased ratings across the board for Awards shows, and just what does Norma think about accepting an award in full glam and fashion in your living room. Finally, we chat about the future of fashion as well as Norma’s future - engaged at 75. As laid out in her stellar book, “I Am Invincible”, Norma explains how we are all on our own timeline, one size does not fit all, and just how she maintains her youthful looks and positive attitude no matter what decade in life she has been in.

Brenda K. Starr steps Behind The Rope. Brenda chats with us about what it was like to find success and hit it big in the late 1980’s with her most well known song “I Still Believe”. We chat about some of her contemporaries at the time, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Tina Turner and Debbie Gibson. Speaking of contemporaries, a little known singer named Mariah Carey used to sing background for Brenda. One day Brenda handed a demo to Columbia Records Executive Tommy Mottola at a party on behalf of Mariah and, as they say in the biz, the rest is history. Brenda opens up about what Tommy was really like both as a person and as a Record Exec who helped launch her career. Brenda also discusses how she really feels about Mariah covering "I Still Believe”, which has now become one of her biggest hits, breaks down where Mariah’s “diva” and “difficult” reputation originates from, and discusses how true she feels those monikers are. She spares no detail in explaining exactly why her and Mariah no longer speak and what she would say if she crossed paths with her today. Why does it not shock us that the name Wendy Williams comes up in this conversation. There was also Mariah’s wedding and being seated at a table with both Gloria Estefan and Barbara Streisand. Of course, we delve deep into Mariah’s “The Meaning of Mariah” book which hit shelves last year - Brenda shares her thoughts, discusses what is accurate and what she would like to rebut, Mariah’s short lived reality docu series “Mariah’s World” - Stella, Bryan, Nick Cannon, and the many misconceptions in the media about Brenda’s relationship past and present with Mariah Carey. In other news, Brenda’s daughter made it to the Top Ten on American Idol and we needed all the back stage secrets and thoughts on Ryan Seacrest and JLO. Finally, Brenda chats about new projects, new music, her newfound success on TikTok, her love for and thoughts on Demi Lovato and her recent tell all documentary and all she has going on in life now. @officialbrendakstarr @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by UNIDRAGON - https://www.unidragon.com (10% Off First Purchase - Use Code “VELVETROPES”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hills’ newest resident, Caroline D’Amore, steps Behind The Rope. Caroline may be the newest cast member of The Hills: New Beginnings, but she is no stranger to this friend group. Having grown up in Los Angeles, Caroline has known many of our fav Hills cast members since childhood. She has also known many other household names, once dubbed Hollywood “It” Girl in the early 2000s due to her BFFs Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, ok, you get the idea. In addition to being a regular on the LA Club Scene with her famous Squad, her love of the nightlife and music eventually led to a successful career as a DJ which has taken her all over the world playing to sold out crowds of epic proportion. Caroline chats about her own past in reality TV prior to joining “The Hills” with appearances on “Keeping Up with The Kardashians”, “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, having walked in Kyle Richards’ Fall Runway show for her fashion line, Shahida Clayton. Caroline opens up about how she was cast this season as The Hills' "new girl", the filming processes, seeing her “friends” for the first time once the cameras started rolling, her highs and lows from her freshman season and, of course, the drama. That drama included Mischa Barton, who slammed Caroline as a potential replacement after being let go from her not so stellar least season appearance on The Hills. Caroline chats about that epic day, her response, her thoughts on Mischa, the secret scene she filmed at Kathy Hilton's house last season that was cut, Mischa's urging of the cast to ignore her last season and what she would say if she ran into Mischa today. Of course, we also discuss the advice members of the royal family, Kim, Kourtney and Kris, gave her on reality tv, social media and the press now that she is a bona fide reality TV star in her own right. She is also a hardworking member of the family business, D’Amore’s Pizza, which has locations throughout the LA area. In a full circle moment, after avoiding the fam business for a career in nightlife and DJ’ing growing up, Caroline has re-launched her brand new Organic Pizza Sauce called “Pizza Girl”, we discuss the origins of that sauce, the origins of the name "Pizza Girl", how a shift in her company caused her to say yes to The Hills, the 3 amazing flavors (The Vodka sauce is the best!), and of course, whether it is approved by Foodgod himself!! Cue music, “Starring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window… Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you.

Monique Samuels steps Behind The Rope. Monique is here to chat about ALL of the drama that went down last season on RHOP before putting it behind her, once and for all, and moving on with life. Monique chats about the physical altercation seen ‘round the world, the fall out on and off camera as a result of that altercation, the lawsuit, blogs, social media accounts and, well, you know the rest. We have been over it many times, have we not? What hasn’t been clearly discussed is just how did Monique feel in that moment, the involvement, or lack thereof by Bravo, and how that one event set the entire season in motion for one F of an epic reunion. Monique chats about her past cast mates Robyn, Karen, Gizelle, Ashley, Wendy and Candiace - and the status of all of those “relationships” today. Speaking of that epic reunion, Monique opens up about the exact moment she realized next season would be more of the same, the factors that led to that realization and the ultimate decision to resign from RHOP and walk away from Bravo. Of course, we cannot chat about the Season Five RHOP reunion without discussing Andy Cohen, the fans' opinions of his “supposed” favoritism of Candiace, how Monique felt during the reunion, Chris Samuels’ feelings during that reunion - which he expressed to Andy, and her epic iconic binder!. We discuss the short list Housewives who, like Monique, actually resigned and the addiction of fame and desire of most to stay on TV for as long as possible. We also chat about who Monique has heard from from other franchises showing support, both during the season and after she resigned, what she thinks of other current Bravo events such as Nene Leaks’ “Boycott Bravo”, and would she ever consider a return to reality TV. Remember we mentioned Monique moving on with her life? She has and in a big way. Moniqiue is busy enjoying the success of her “Drag Queens” Single and a brand new You Tube Show “Tea with Monique”. Finally, last but certainly not least, we pay homage to the one, the only, best Pet in the history of Bravo TV, Mr. T’Challa Samuels. @mrsmoniquesamuels @tchallasamuels @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by UNIDRAGON - https://www.unidragon.com (10% Off First Purchase - Use Code “VELVETROPES” Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A few months ago Heather Mariana, from Bravo's Tour Group - does anyone even remember this show? - and I spent the weekend at our friend Alexis Bellino's house. You know Alexis Bellino, some of you may refer to her as Jesus Jugs, a moniker given to her by her then co-star from The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge. Alexis is a friend of ours. The weekend was full of fun, martinis and surprises. Of course, there were also RHOC Housewife cameos as well throughout the weekend Heather and I were recapping this weekend the other day and it hit me. Hold that thought, let me hit record, but of course, just for you Patreons!!! In other news, are we anxiously awaiting the new cast announcement for RHOC or do we no longer care? I have two ideas on how this franchise can be fixed. What are yours? Or do we put it out to pasture? Would this franchise ever be "green lit" today?

Nikki Blonsky steps Behind The Rope. We cannot help but to feel nostalgic with Nikki in the house. Nikki chats with us about what it was like to land the breakout role of Tracy Turnblad in the film version of the iconic Hairspray. Nikki talks about what life was like as a Long Island girl who went to see Hairspray on Broadway with her Mom and said “hey, I can do that”. Little did she know that years later she would be landing one of the most iconic parts in any Broadway musical. We chat about all the details from the audition process, to the mind of John Waters to how life changed after the film came out and made her a household name. Of course, we chat about some of Nikki’s Hairspray co-stars such as Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron (ok we need a moment to recover), Michelle Pfeiffer, John Travolta (whom she still calls “Mom”) and Queen Latifah. We also chat about some of the original film’s stars such as Debbie Harry, Ricki Lake & Divine. On a more serious note, we discuss the pressures of being type cast in Hollywood, how Nikki found it hard to find work after Hairspray, the pitfalls of fame and the best and worst parts about “the business”. Nikki was also on two of our fav shows, Ugly Betty and Smash which, of course, we love. Finally, Nikki came out via TikTok, of course, where would anyone else come out in these modern times in which we live, during the Pandemic last year to Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out”. Nikki chats about the details of that coming out, her love life since, why it is hard for “Tracy Turnblad” on the dating apps and just how Zac Efron seems to work his way into every date she has. @nikkiblonsky @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by STORYWORTH https://www.storyworth.com/velvet ($10 off First Purchase) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Karen Gravano steps Behind The Rope. Welcome Karen. We get right into it. Karen explains how she got involved with Mob Wives back in the day. She explains how it was a show that no one wanted, at first, until a famous name got involved, Harvey Weinstein. Then there was a bidding war and the show ended up, as we all know, at VH1, and the rest is history. Karen talks about her costars Renee Graziano, Carla Facciolo, and Drita D’Avanzo. She explains how each were cast by Renee’s Sister, Jen Graziano, how she was the last one cast, and how, as Sammy The Bull's daughter, she led credibility to the show as it tied to The Mob. She tells us who she knew before the show and who she met as a result of casting. We discuss the inevitable chemistry her and Drita had on screen, whether it be good or bad, and how and why the show was such a success. We discuss the fall outs of certain friendships, how, if at all, she thinks Mob Wives affected these relationships and the current status of her relationships with Renee, Jen, Carla, and Drita today. Karen opens up about how "The Boys” in the lifestyle felt about the show Mob Wives as it related to confidentiality and the way the women represented themselves on national TV. Flash Forward to current day, Karen discusses her last show on MTV, "Made In Staten Island” which aired last year. We talk about the other families involved in the show and what it was like to work with both her daughter Karina and her dad "Sammy The Bull”. Finally, Karen discusses her own Podcast, “The Sit Down” which she hosts with Carla Facciolo and “cousin” Ramona Rizzo. Karen holds nothing back.

Dr. John Sessa steps Behind The Rope. Yes, That John Sessa. Executive Director of Vanderpump Dogs. John Sessa, as seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season Nine. You remember that season, no? Thank you Lucy Lucy Apple Juice. Originally from a farm in Northwest Indiana, John never foresaw his current LA life of working with The Vanderpumps. Ok let us start at the beginning. John first met Lisa Vanderpump right after Giggy won “Reality TV’s Most Famous Dog” Award. It was during one of their first meetings that the idea for Vanderpump Pets was born. John explains how Vanderpump Pets, an idea which started with simple, ok its LVP so let's use the word simple loosely, dog collars grew into a real legitimate bona fide business. He also talks to us about how Vanderpump Dogs was eventually born out of Vanderpump Pets after Lisa Vanderpump became aware of the dog abuse taking place in Yulin, China. John discusses some of the current initiatives Vanderpump Dogs are working on, the process of how a dog gets “Vanderpuffed” once rescued and the infamous Vanderpump Dogs Annual Gala. Speaking of Vanderpump Dogs, John fills us in on the much anticipated “Vanderpump Dogs” Series and lets us know when we can expect to see the finished product online. We discuss who in the Vanderpump Rules cast he turned to for on camera reality TV advice and who in the Vanderpump Rules cast he is closest to. Of course, we discuss all things LVP from Villa Rosa, to what Lisa is like off camera, to what are the biggest misconceptions of Lisa and the rest of The Vanderpumps. Obviously, we asked John about "Lucy Lucy Apple Juice" and just where do these dogs' names come from? John talks about how The Vanderpumps are doing, when he last spoke to them, Lisa’s Podcast, the status of all of Lisa and Ken’s restaurants and what we can expect next from the great work that Vanderpump Dogs has been doing. @drjohnsessa @vanderpumpdogs @vanderpumppets @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by STORYWORTH https://www.storyworth.com/velvet ($10 off First Purchase) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Aja steps Behind The Rope. Yes, we all know Aja from their appearance on Drag Race Season Nine and All Stars Season Three. There is much more to Aja than their appearance on our favorite Ru shows. Born and raised in Brooklyn, we knew we liked Aja for a reason, they got into drag at a young age by performing at the local New York City bars. That NYC training led to a coveted spot on both of the aforementioned Drag Race shows. Aja chats about what the experience was like being part of both blockbuster shows - the good, the bad, the other. Of course, we talk about Ru, the judges, and some of our fav guest judges during Aja’s tenure: Lady Gaga, Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, and Naya Rivera. Aja opens up about life after Drag Race which, yes, includes a career in music. Being completely committed to the craft, Aja announced a few years back that they are no longer a “Drag Queen” but instead are a “Queer Artist”. Speaking of drag queens, Aja dishes on their favs from this current season of Drag Race, discusses whether they think RuPaul and Drag Race have adequately incorporated trans women, trans men, non-binary and all other contestants who deserve representation into the show, including the new catch phrase used this season, and opens up about their beef, fall out, and current status of their relationship with current season contestant Kandy Muse. Remember we mentioned Aja music? Well, Aja has new music in the form of a stellar CD, “Crown” featuring the first single “21 Roads”. Aja chats about their musical inspirations (one includes Prince and we are so here for it!), some of the overall themes heard on the album such as fame, race, gender, class, their fav track, what artist they would love to work with, and just how important is it to incorporate non-binary visibly and cultural representation in their music. @ajathekween @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Frankie Grande steps back Behind The Rope. We have to stop meeting like this! Although it has only been a few weeks, we cannot keep up with Frankie and he is here to share many new projects. First things first, we chat with Frankie about the fact that NYC’s Broadway is coming back and will be open and alive this fall. We also talk about his time on Big Brother, would he ever go back, consider other Reality Competition shows such as Survivor and Amazing Race, what are his guilty pleasure reality shows of yesteryear and today. We also dish the dirt on fav reality shows, thoughts on Real Housewives and other pleasures rooted in Pop Culture history. A forever advocate of the LGBTQIA community, Frankie chats about what that means to him and how important it is to live an authentic life, both in front of, and off camera. We revisit Frankie’s love of Madonna, having met her and all, and deep dive into his favorite era of Madonna - the music, fashion, the Madonna of it all. Speaking of Frankie’s new projects, congrats are in order as he is the new host of the SpongeBob Podcast for Nickelodeon. Of course he is because who better to host a SpongeBob Podcast than shine bright like a Frankie, Frankie Grande. With Pride just around the corner, we chat with Frankie about his upcoming “Rainbowthon”, next Thursday June 3rd where he and a few friends (JoJo Siwa, Jewel, Alexandra Billings, and many, many more) host a virtual performance, celebration and all out party in support of Los Angeles’ LGBT Center. Like last year, perhaps a certain family member will be making a guest appearance. Ya never know. Thanks for stopping by again Frankie!! Always a pleasure. ** This Episode was recorded last week just prior to Singer Demi Lovato coming out as Nonbinary. Demi Lovato now goes by the pronouns They/Them.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Kathy Wakile steps Behind The Rope. Several months ago, before her daughter Victoria got married, Kathy sat down to chat about all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens. Born and raised in New Jersey, the fourth of five children, Kathy loved her first career as a Licensed Hairdresser helping make people beautiful one head at a time. One day, on her way to Florida, she met a man on a plane, who became her current husband, Rich Wakile. Family life is going well - so well, in fact, that she brought daughter Victoria with her. Oh hey there, Victoria. Did you know Victoria worked at Aydin Plastic Surgery for Bill Aydin. What a small RHONJ world it is. Speaking of RHONJ, Kathy thought she was in the mix to be cast on a new cooking / baking show during her casting process for RHONJ. Turns out, it was for Season Three of RHONJ and the rest is history. Kathy discusses what filming with her family, Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice was like plus the status of their relationships today. Plus, she shares her thoughts on and friendships with Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, and last but not least, Margaret Josephs. Kathy and David discuss the “reality” of reality TV, the positives and negatives of being on a “Housewives” show, and how to transition back into the world when the party ends. Kathy seems to have done so quite well. P.S. Huge shout out to Pizza Love, Kathy's delicious, amazing Italian Palace in Wyckoff, NJ!!! @kathywakile @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Big Shot with Bethenny’s Nicole Rose Stillings steps Behind The Rope. Unarguably, THE breakout star of “Big Shot”, Nicole is here to dish it all now that the season has come to an end! A self proclaimed, as seen on TV with Ms. Frankel, DJ, Influencer, and Podcaster, Nicole can now add, “Reality TV Star” to her moniker. Nicole chats about how her dreams of DJ’ing have come true in a big way having worked with not only the the likes of Diana Ross and Noah Cyrus, but there was also that one time she DJ’d and appeared on Summer House during one of their epic finale parties. Yup, we discuss what filming an episode of Summer House was like and just what did Nicole observe from her DJ booth about some of our fav Bravolebs - Kyle, Carl, Lindsay and the rest of the gang. Nicole chats about leaving her career as a triple threat behind to pursue a position as VP, of Operations, billed as “second in command” to the one and only Bethenny Frankel. Nicole has already turned our heads, and that of the B herself, by wearing a crop top on day one, crying after being berated by Bethenny, and, well many other incidents which we discuss in full. In true Nicole fashion she - does - not - hold back when discussing what Bethenny was really like off camera behind the scenes, how “involved" producers of The Big Shot were in storyline, and her edit as the resident “loud mouth”. She also discusses some of her, now standout moments with the world as we watched back each week. She discusses whether Bethenny is bothered by her because she sees herself in her. Let us not forget Bethenny was once called the resident “loud mouth” by our good friend Martha Stewart. Finally, she chats about the epic involvement of Biggy and Smallz and just what she will take away from this experience with Ms. Frankel in the freshman season of her "Big Shot". @nicolestillings @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In a very rare Podcast appearance, Tabatha Coffey steps Behind The Rope!!!! Checking in from her home directly across the river in good ole’ New Jersey, Tabatha is here to - discuss - it - all!! Tabatha starts at the beginning - finishing third and winning “Fan Fav” on the freshman season of Shear Genius. In part due to her signature tell it like it is / hold nothing back approach to hair and life, Tabatha then got her own show, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, which became Tabatha’s Takeover in Season Four. We discuss what it was like to be a Bravolebrity at that time with colleagues such as Rachel Zoe, Jeff Lewis, Patti Stanger, Jackie Warner, Vicki Gunvalson and a singer you may have heard of by the name of Paula Abdul (“Hey Paula” fans rejoice!). Tabatha weighs in on how Bravo has changed over the years to become the network it is today - which also included her show a few years back, Relative Success with Tabatha, what Bravolebrities of past and present she calls friends, what Bravolebs and Hollywood A Listers have the best and worst hair and what she thinks of Celebs who ride or die by one signature hairstyle. Rinna, we are talking to you. Being from NJ, we discuss Tab’s neighbors Tre, Mel, Marge and the rest of the RHONJ, whether Tabatha would ever consider joining the franchise and whether, with all of Bravo’s efforts on diversity and inclusion, it is finally time for our first openly Lesbian or Trans Housewife (no, we are not counting RHOC’s Braunwyn). Of course, that means she would have to wear leopard which leads to a discussion on Tabatha’s signature all black ensemble. Tabatha gives us an update on her personal life, TV projects, hair, and answers just what is next. One next project is her upcoming B.I.T.C.H Camp, where Tabatha herself, plus her Camp Counselors, will help you put your life in order. If there is one person who can accomplish that goal, it is certainly one of the most outspoken, brutally honest Bravolebs in history, Miss Tabatha Coffey!! @tabathacoffey @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef http://www.tabathacoffey.com (tickets for B.I.T.C.H Camp Available!)

RHONJ’s Kim D. She’s baaackk. Kim has a LOT of opinions on this current season of RHONJ and has asked to come back to share them. Who are we to say no? First things first, let’s chat about the elephant in the room, Teresa and Jackie. Kim has a lot of opinions on the matter and in true Rope fashion, her opinions are based on what she has “heard” / allegedly knows from being a local NJ gal. We discuss where we think that rumor really started, whether we believe it is true, what were Teresa’s true intentions in mentioning this rumor on TV, and what is the status of their relationship today. Next, we chat about some of this RHONJ season’s other dramas. What other dramas, you ask? We chat about newbie “Friend Of” Michelle Pais claiming that Joey Gorga owes her husband money. We dissect this claim, the nuances behind it, and of course, do we think there is any validity to it. Speaking of Michelle Pais, she is no longer representing Teresa Giudice in the sale of her home. We answer the question “who is” Michelle Pais and what caused the fall out of her friendship with Tre and subsequent rapid disappearance from our TV screens. Speaking of Joey Gorga, we discuss Melissa and Joe’s “rumored” marital problems, and, well, yea, Kim has something to say about that. Marital and dating problems? Ok, yes, that leads us to Luis Ruelas, Teresa’s new man. Kim knows someone who knows someone… Well, why don’t you just listen to her chat about Luis and Tre. Then there is Jennifer Aydin. Oh, Jennifer. While we admit, the girl is hella funny, never before has a reference to a swan been so funny, David holds back on his own personal real life feelings on Jennifer, that is for another place and time, but Kim chats about how Jennifer was at her past Posche shows despite the fact that Jennifer announced on Watch What Happens Live she has never met Kim D and not know what Posche is. Yes, Kim has receipts. Yea, we will post it. Kim chats about what she has heard regarding this epic RHONJ season and reminisces on the past. Speaking of the past, has anyone been watching Danielle Staub’s weekly IG Live viewing of RHONJ. Should Kim do the same? Grab those cocktails and get ready to gasp. This one is a tell all and who better than the woman who knows everyone who is anyone in the Garden State, Miss Kim D is here to do what she does best, hold nothing back!

Married to Medicine’s Kari Wells steps Behind The Rope. The “Queen of Class”, a titled bestowed upon her by the one and only Daddy Andy Cohen, Kari is here to help us break it all down regarding the current season of Married to Medicine. After a brief chat about how she originally got involved with the show way back in Season One, her up and down relationships with her co-stars over the years, and all the changes in M2M during the past eight years, we waist no time in delving deep into the current season. Kari chats about her current relationships and what we can expect to see the rest of this season from some of our favorite Doctors and Doctors’ Wives - Dr. Jackie, Dr. Simone, Toya, Quad, Dr. Heavenly, and Dr. Contessa. Of course, we nudge Kari to spill some tea about the remainder of the current M2M season, what we can expect, and what drama is a comin’ our way. We also chat about newbie Anila Sajja and what we can expect from this firecracker as the season progresses. On a more serious note, we chat about the absence of series creator and one of the former Executive Producers, Mariah Huq and did that effect the mood in this friend group this season. Kari chats about some of her fellow ATL women, those Peach Holders over at The Real Housewives of Atlanta - who she knows, who she would like to know, and just who stood her up for dinner a few months back. Finally, we chat about all that Kari has done in life - model, actress, author, business owner and, of course, last but certainly not least, Doctor's Wife.

The One, The Only, Randy Spelling steps Behind The Rope. Yes THAT Randy Spelling. Before we get to his current “Randy Spelling Coaching” Business, let us start at the beginning. Spelling Manor. Randy is kind enough to entertain all of our questions about what it was like to grow up at Spelling Manor. Spelling Manor, the house with its own Wikipedia page. We discuss Mom Candy Spelling’s glamorous parties, the infamous gift wrapping room, the whose who of Hollywood who flowed through there, and how Randy felt when the Manor was sold in 2011. We discuss what it was like to grow up with Aaron Spelling as a Dad and what the legacy of such shows like “ Melrose Place”, “Charmed”, “Charlie’s Angels”, “Dynasty”, “The Love Boat” and “Heart to Heart” means to him. We also discuss what is was like to be a high school student at the same time that 90210 exploded. Well there was that one time Randy went to school to everyone chanting “Donna Martin Graduates”, the night after a certain episode aired. Speaking of 90210, we discuss it all and by all, we mean, Shannen, Jason, Brian, Ian, Gabrielle, Jenni and Tori. Speaking of Tori, we discuss her own career both on 90210 as well as the plethora of reality TV she has done, such as Tori & Dean and True Tori and what it is like for Randy to watch some of these shows. Randy also opens up about what it was like to be caught in the middle of certain family dramas and it what it was like to have those played out in the media. On a larger note, we discuss topics such as the importance and value society improperly places on having versus not having money, the addiction of fame, why the media is so obsessed with “The Spellings” and some of the biggest misconceptions about himself, Tori and the rest of the family. Fear not, all of this has helped Randy get to where he is today, a devoted Husband and Dad living in Oregon with a successful life coaching business. No really, you can book him as a life coach, and if this sit down is any indication, sign us up!!! @randyspelling @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Did everyone watch Watch What Happens Live last week with all our friends from the past including Mr. Jonathan Antin. Well, Jonathan Antin steps back Behind The Rope. 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 relationship with Andy Cohen and what he thinks of how the network has evolved throughout the years. (If you haven’t heard our original chat with Jonathan, feel free to check it out.

This is the true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house, work together, and have their lives taped. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real…. The Real World. We sat down with Eric Nies a few months prior to MTV’s decision to bring the entire cast of the original real world back together to live in the same loft almost thirty years later. Mr. Eric Nies was part of the granddaddy of all of reality TV, the original Real World, New York, Season One. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. Welcome Eric. We start at the beginning by asking the question, just how did Eric get cast on the first ever Real World in NYC and what was casting like back when. With no prior reality show to look to, we discuss how he knew what to do when the cameras started rolling - he didn’t. With no predecessor to look to, we discuss how this makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. Eric discusses his hesitations to do certain things not knowing how the final product would turn out and the influence of producers and editing back then. He discusses how he was able to get used to cameras around 24/7 and what he thought of the finished product once aired. Eric discusses what MTV was like back in the day when it was the Chanel that played music all day and how he thought the Real World would maybe be a little show that a few people watched. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a multigernational blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, Becky and Andre and who he keeps in touch with today. He explains how once the Real World ended he was offered the gig as host of Club MTV, which led to MTV’s The Grind (also featuring a pre RHOBH Camille Grammer), which led to The Grind Workout Videos, which led to a long career as both a Competitor and Host of the classic MTV juggernaut The Challenge. He had movie offers, modeling offers and who could forget that Bruce Weber photoshoot book he was in with his brother (Google It). Being the hot commodity in town, no one said no. Money, fame, booze, drugs, women, anything at his fingertips that he wanted, Eric seemingly had it all. Until he didn't. With an addictive personality, Eric finally hit rock bottom and had his “aha" moment when he realized he needed to transform his life. He started working with Grandmasters and Shaman’s and currently runs a successful practice as a life, health, wellness, nutrition guide, spiritual guide and addiction rehabilitation facilitator for those in need. That is a long cry from the streets of New York and the height of fame. Eric and David discuss the aftermath of being in the spotlight, how fame is possibly the most addictive drug of all, the highs and lows of the entertainment business and how to navigate it successfully and come out the other side. A truly spectacular sit down you do not want to miss with The Real World New York’s Eric Nies. @nies.eric @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Margaret Josephs steps Behind The Rope. Margaret is here to chat about her new book, “Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget: How to Survive in Business and Life”. Not so fast Marge, we love you and all, but first we gotta chat about all that was RHONJ Season 11 as we head into the reunion later this week. We chat with Margaret about the Evan “rumor” heard ‘round the world, Teresa and Jackie, the origins of that rumor, and will we get answers at the reunion as to who started this rumor? In other RHONJ news, Margaret weights in on Joe and Melissa - their marriage, how worried is she, or should we be, about their future, and the truth about those “divorce rumors” which seem to be circulating in the press, in part, by Melissa herself. We ask Margaret, "just what is it about Jennifer that annoys you so much (where to begin???), her current Twitter feud with her, and just where does one need to draw the line. Margaret opens up about the men in Teresa’s life, ex-husband Joe Giudice - who is still as much a part of the show as he was in Season One - as well as Luis Ruelas - has she met him, what does she think, has Tre changed as a result of meeting him, is Tre moving too fast, and is she worried based on the recent “press” of his alleged “past”. Of course, we have to address the elephant, or lack thereof, in the room, Danielle Staub and how different is this season without her. We pay homage to the past - The Manzos, Kathy Wakile, Jacqueline Laurita and so on and look ahead to the reunion - what issues is she coming in hot about and does the reunion solve or cause more issues for the RHONJ ladies. Speaking of “Caviar Dreams”, Margaret chats about how the book came about, the writing process and the decision to include topics such as her wild childhood with Marge Sr. as a mom and “sleeping” with her boss. Margaret’s stellar book also includes business advice of how she became “self made” and recovered from financial and legal setbacks to come out the other side, life highlights such as sleeping with a Rock Star and meeting Joan Rivers and just what is next for this Powerhouse In Pigtails.

Corrine Olympios steps Behind The Rope. One of the most talked about contestants in Bachelor Nation history. Corrine stops by to chat about all that has been going on in Bachelor Nation since the end of this past controversial “Matt James” season of The Bachelor. Of course, we chat about and question Chris Harrison’s discussion with Rachel Lindsay, and will and should Chris ever return, who should be a permanent replacement for Chris if he does not return and last, but certainly not least, Chris Harrison’s decision to hire the same high powered attorney Gabrielle Union employed when she was “let go” from “America’s Got Talent”. Hmm, the plot thickens. We also chat with Corrine about new Bachelorettes Katie Thurston and Michelle Young, new Bachelorette Hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe and would she herself would ever want to host. Of course, we chat about her own controversial Nick Viall season, the importance of a nap, the status of her nanny and how Bachelor In Paradise is forever changed after her star turn on the island. In true Corrine fashion, she does not hold back. Perhaps that is why she has her very own new Podcast, “Corrine Saves Us All” where she helps us solve all of life’s mysteries or at least loves mysteries. Corrine gives Host David tough love - did he listen? - and chats about her amazing Aura Sugar beaded products worm on all of our favorites such as Scheana Shay and Christine Quinn.

Below Deck’s Bugsy Drake steps Behind The Rope. In true Bugsy fashion, she is an open book holding nothing back and is here for a fun time. Bugsy reminisces about the seasons she spent behind the Bravo cameras as a cast member on Below Deck Mediterranean. She shares stories from filming and real life charters that make us say whaaat?

Speaking of Alex, Bugsy has a new boyfriend and, ok reluctantly, but we have our ways, shares a few details on him!! Bugsy also chats about her brand new book, “The Art of Tablescaping”. The Queen of Theme talks about some of her fav themes, what goes into a “good table”, and why most people find good tablescaping just so damn hard (us included!). Off course, we chat about other Bravolebrities and Housewives she has met, wants to meet, and / or have “slipped into her DMs”. Bugsy chats about the new season of her fav Bravo show - RHOBH and that one time she ran into Justin Bieber in St. Barts. Looking ahead, we chat about her future, the future of Below Deck, and whether she would ever be “the next Kate Chastain”. @bugsydrake @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Of course, we discuss Shaman Durek’s involvement in Bling Empire after being “hired” by Kevin Kreider to help Kelly Mi Li work out her "relationship issues" with Andrew Gray or, in other words, one of the central storylines of this brilliant freshman Netflix Series (if you did not watch, what are you waiting for). Shaman Durek chats with us about how one becomes a Shaman, what exactly does a Shaman do (oh c’mon, like you know), how can a Shaman help each and every one of us in our daily lives, and what are the biggest misconceptions of a Shaman. We delve deep into topics like social media and fame obsession, how people are often their own worst enemies, the affect Reality TV has on us as a society, the use of outside stimulants such as sex, drugs, alcohol to help numb the pain of daily life and what is needed in order to gain complete peace of mind in the fast paced world we live in today. Deemed “Shaman to the Stars”, we discuss other famous clients, besides our favorite “Crazy Rich Asians” over on Bling Empire, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Nina Dobrev, and Chord Overstreet. In fact, Gwyneth is one of Shaman Durek’s best friends, we chat about what that is like and how, although people are often used to and/or treated differently because they are a celebrity, at the end of the day, we are all just humans trying to live an authentic life. It is clear Shaman Durek is living an authentic life, even if that life involves dating a member of The Royal Family, The Princess of Norway. Finally, we ask Shaman Durek if he has picked up on any vibes from Behind The Rope during our time together and if he can advise us on how to live a happier, kinder, more peaceful life. @shamandurek @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Approximately two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Tawny Kitaen in what I can only assume is one of her last interviews ever. Tawny was full of life, happy, generous, pleasant. We talked for almost two hours. She followed up after in a series of texts, as kind and sweet as can be. She lit up when she talked about her daughters which were clearly her greatest accomplishment in life. Tawny went to her first rock concert at age 14, saw how the singer’s girlfriend got full VIP access and treatment and decided, “hey, I want that.” Tawny went out and made that happen. A rocker gal by nature, Tawny dated the guitarist from Ratt while in high school. From there she graduated, and “graduated”, by marrying Whitesnake’s lead singer. Although they divorced years later, she is most notorious for being “that girl” in the Whitesnake video. With that career defining moment she went from “groupie” to wife and celebrity. Choreographer Paula Abdul took one look at Tawny’s moves on the set of the Whitesnake video shoot and said, “you don’t need my help” and left! Tawny graced our small screens with roles on many of our beloved shows including Seinfeld (who she also dated), Married...With Children and America’s Funniest People. Before it was the “cool” thing to do, Tawny transitioned from “actress” to reality star starring in VH1s “The Surreal Life” and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”. Speaking of Reality TV, who could forget Tawny’s 2017 appearance on E’s mega-hit Botched with Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. Of course, there was also that star studded role with Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party. What follows is an unedited, almost two hour, chat with Tawny as she shares stories from a life well lived opening up about career and personal highs, some of which have never before been revealed. She discusses the book which she was working on because, as stated, “if I don't write my life story, somebody else is going to, and they're going to do it off of sound clips, that aren't true and aren't real about me. So it's really, really important that I get my book out.” Hopefully this interview can help accomplish that just a little. @tawnykitaenofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef B onus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Claudia Jordan steps back Behind The Rope. Claudia is here today to chat about all things, what else, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She explains how she ran into a RHOA producer at a West Hollywood gay bar and from there, the wheels were in motion. Claudia chats about her prior friendship with Kenya Moore, her arrival in Atlanta and just how she went from “Friend Of” to “Official Peach Holder” on this highly rated Housewives franchise. One word: Nene. Remember that infamous cast trip? Claudia chats about how welcome, hint - not much - she felt by Nene, Nene’s refusing to film certain scenes and how Nene treated everyone on set. She also chats about the remainder of her co-stars Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, and Cynthia Bailey - what working with each was like and the status of her friendship with each today. Speaking of Miss Linnethia Leakes, Claudia chats about Nene’s departure from RHOA this past season. On a larger scale, we discuss the concept of “everyone is replaceable” and how some times some people can be their own worst enemy. Claudia also discusses whether Nene’s current actions regarding Bravo and Andy Cohen have gone too far to “the place of no return” or can she still make a return to the network, or any other network for that matter, in the near future. Claudia is currently living in Dallas, Texas with her boyfriend and yes she knows some of our favorite Real Housewives of Dallas such LeeAnne Locken (they just had an epic day of drinks together), D’Andra Simmons (she thinks Claudia should be an RHOD) and Kary Brittingham (they have had recent real life beef). Finally, Claudia reflects on her time on the show and answers the age old question, would she ever go back. Claudia DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK!! If you haven’t heard our explosive initial chat with Claudia, check it out, October 14th, 2020). @claudiajordan @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

RHOD’s Brad Bevill steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Fanci Westcott’s Dog Trainer. We have all seen Brad bring the “tough love” to Kameron Westcott’s adorable treadmill loving dog Fanci, but what is working with Kameron really like? Brad is here to answer that plus chat about his other RHOD connections - working with Mama Dee and Cary Deuber’s dogs. Brad chats about the hardest part of each of those jobs, the strangest requests, how he fell into this line of business, the psychology behind working with dogs, what he loves about his job so much and what he thinks about being now known for his RHOD appearances. He has also worked with Bachelor Nation’s JoJo Fletcher and former Bravolebrity, “Courtney Loves Dallas”, Courtney Kerr. There is also his newest Bravoleb client, Miss Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Of course, we needed to know what Brad really thinks about Sparkle Dog and will pink dog food ever become a thing. We also chat about other pressing Bravo Dogs / Pets: Giggy Vanderpump (is it good for a dog to be treated like a human being and / or travel the world never leaving its owner’s side?); Wacha Cohen (when is it time to give an “aggressive dog” away?), Tiago Jayne Girardi (how soon after an owner is “taken away” for an extended period of time does a dog start to suffer separation anxiety? Can a dog sense a change in it’s owner’s lifestyle, can a dog sense a change in household parties due to live altering events such as a divorce), Lucy Lucy Apple Juice Vanderpump then Kemsley then Vanderpump now unknown (is there ever such a thing as a “too silly” dog name?), and last but not least the best Bravo pet in the history of Bravo, T’Challa Samuels (will Brad ever branch out to Birds or other pets?). On a serious note, Brad talks about being an entrepreneur (running Bevill Dog Behavior), new upcoming Bevill Dog Behavior products and services, and would he ever consider starring in a reality show of his own?

Howard Stern fans rejoice!!! Tan Mom a.k.a. Patricia Marie Krentcil steps Behind the Rope. Tan Mom and BFF Adam Barta, that is. They are here to discuss it all. Both originally from the NYC area, now Florida residents, Adam and Tan Mom became fast BFFS upon first meeting several years ago through their joint publicist. How Hollywood. Adam Barta has written songs for all of the moms. No really, all of the Moms. Octomom, Teen Mom, Mama June and of course, Tan Mom (Free 2 Be Me). He has also written songs for many of our BFFS such as Margaret Josephs, Lisa Lampanelli and Margaret Cho. Adam explains how he never purported to be the next Miley Cyrus and explains the genius behind his viral music. Adam and David also bond over the reality show pilot they were a part of with Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick, RHONJs Dina Manzo, and Michael Lohan. Tan Mom takes us back to the beginning of when she brought her five year old daughter to a tanning salon. Immediately thereafter she was arrested for child endangerment. She was taken right from the salon to jail. Jail for seven days. She recounts what being in jail was like, and how scary a time that was. She then became an overnight sensation. Tan Mom tells us about her legal battles as a result of this day, the ridicule her children had to face in school, what is was like to have paparazzi hiding in her bushes 24 hours a day, and how caged she felt not be able to walk down the street as a result of this one act. Flash Forward and one day Tan Mom and Adam found themselves booked on The Howard Stern show to tell their story. Let us repeat slowly. The Howard Sten Show!!! They quickly found themselves fan favs and, even more important, a Howard fav. As a result, they became regular fixtures on The Stern Show, having had so many appearances that they lost count. Tan Mom was even in Howard Stern’s book and attended his 60th birthday party. We just cannot breathe. They spare no details, from what Howard’s Green Room is like, what Robin Quiver’s is like, who attended Howard’s Birthday party, and what does it feel like to get be considered part of Stern’s inner circle. On a more serious note, we talk about Tan Mom’s near death experience last year and what major announcement she has a result. Wow, is all we gotta say. @realtanmom @adambarta @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RHONJ’s Frank Catania Sr. (“Big Frank”) steps Behind The Rope. Hot off his Watch What Happens Live appearance with his Bros, Joe Gorga, Evan G., Bill Aydin and The Real Super Joe, Mr. Dolores Catania, as we like to call him, is here to discuss it all. This Real Housewives of New Jersey “House Husband” discusses growing up in NJ, how, where and when he met Dolores, their courtship, marriage, children (shout out to Gabby and Frankie Jr. - former BTVR Guest), ultimate dissolution of their marriage and road to the current “best friends” friendship they now have, as seen throughout the past several seasons on RHONJ. Frank is brutally honest about why their marriage ended, their divorce and how they became almost immediate friends thereafter. Speaking of RHONJ, Frank discusses how Dolores was cast, his own participation in the show and just what does he think of the drama and other cast mates Teresa Giudice, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, Jackie Goldschneider and last, but certainly not least, Jennifer Aydin. We also chat with Frank about his Bromances with the Joeys Gorga and Benigno (The Real SuperJoe), Evan Goldschneider and Bill Aydin. On a personal note, Frank chats about his relationship with Dolores’ boyfriend, Doctor David, as well as with his own girlfriend - who knew?. Finally, we pump, no pun intended (yes he and Frankie Jr. are still weightlifting), Frank Sr. for spoilers from the rest of this already stellar RHONJ season. Tune in for this RHONJ extravaganza with Mr. Dolores Catania with special cameo by the one and only Dolores Catania!! @frank.catania.jr @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Christina Schuller (now Sinclair), from Laguna Beach, steps Behind The Rope. One of the OG's of Laguna Beach. Season One! Originally from Laguna Beach, Christina tells us what it was like when MTV came a knockin’ to film one of the first ever Reality Shows. With The Real World being one of the only predecessors to compare it to, Christina sheds light on what filming was like when “no one knew what they were doing”. That “no one” included producers. We discussed the “Game of Thrones” casting process and competition amongst Laguna Beach’s High School Students to be one of chosen eight. We discuss how the original concept was supposed to be a True Life: Day In the Life of a Southern California High School Student versus the juggernaut viral sensation it became. With that viral sensation, came many perks like attending the VMA Awards, Diddy’s after party and all. That viral sensation also includes all of our favorite shows for years to come: The Hills, The City and now, currently, The Hills: New Beginnings (coming back soon!). Christina opens up about what life was like when she was thrust into the public eye overnight and how that changed life forever. She explains her unexpected ties to The Hills / The City star Whitney Port. We didn’t see that coming. We discuss what life was like after the flash bulbs faded and where she took her career after - acting, fitness, full time mom. Of course we discuss some of her Laguna Beach co-stars Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips and Morgan Olsen. Speaking of those co-stars, Christina fills us in on all the details from the Season One full cast reunion that took place last year, the first time the cast has all been together in fourteen years. Tune in now to hear all that Christina has to share about this Granddaddy of reality shows. @christinasinclair @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Countess Luann de Lesseps steps Behind The Rope. Royalty people. Royalty, or at least the first person The Rope has had with an actual title. In anticipation of the premiere (tonight is the night!!) of what is arguably one of the best of the Franchise, Lu is here to break down what we can expect this coming Season 13 of The Real Housewives of New York City. First, Luann reflects back on an epic twelve RHONY seasons - being cool, not uncool, kissing pirates, making eggs a la francaise, falling in bushes, feelin’ Jovani, and sharing very personal private moments in her life. Seeing as Luann has done all of the aforementioned, and more, while holding her head high, it is clear why she is an OG, fan favorite, and still going strong thirteen seasons later. Luann divulges what we can expect for RHONY Season 13, how it is different than the prior twelve, what to expect from new apple holder Eboni K. Williams, and whether Ramona is, well, as Ramona as ever. Since life IS a cabaret, we chatted with Lu about adjusting to life “off” the road having to put her sold out nationwide tour on temporary hold and received a status update on her “Marry, F**k, Kill” show, including whether Ms. Morgan, and all her letters, will be a part of it. Luann opens up about the many headlines she has made off camera the past few months while filming RHONY - potentially joining Dancing With the Stars, posing for topless photos (“Claycation”!), and returning to her single status (farewell Garth). On that note, we discuss her type, who she is currently chillin with and whether she would ever join that other juggernaut show, “The Bachelorette”. Of course, we need all the details from Luann on the upcoming Crossover “All Stars Housewives House” series seeing as she was the first announced official cast member. Finally, Lu is kind enough to entertain our rapid round of RHONY “must knows” - who would you want back, who would you not want back, what NYC Celebrity would be a good fit, does Louis Vuitton really make mistakes, what were her roses and thorns of the past thirteen seasons, how has she changed as a person as a result of RHONY, how are Victoria and Noelle, and what advice would she give to season one “Baby Countess” as Countess Luann de Lesseps reflects back on twelve successful years and looks forward to one hell of a RHONY ride as we prepare for tonight’s Season 13 premiere!!! @countessluann @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In anticipation of her first ever Watch What Happens Appearance, tonight is the night, in what is to go down as one of the most historic weeks in WWHL history, Princesses: Long Island's Chanel Omari steps Behind The Rope. Taking a break from her thriving comedy career and hosting her own “Chanel In The City Podcast” (as featured last season on The Real Housewives of New York City), the woman whose friends call her Coco, Chanel Omari is here to tell it all. Having not seen each other since a Countess Luann and Friends Christmas show, Chanel and David quickly catch up. Why not start with a review of the night and the Countess Christmas show way back when. We also need all the deets about Chanel’s two BFFS Lindsay and Dina Lohan. No really, she is close with both. Okay, now onto what everyone wants to talk about, Princesses: Long Island. Chanel takes us back to the beginning of Princesses: Long Island. She explains how the concept for the show came about, how it was “cast” and how it ultimately found its way, after a brief journey, to Bravo as a home. Chanel discusses the concept of the show, a series of Jewish Women out of college for a short period of time who end up living back with their parents in well to do enclaves of Long Island, New York. We discuss the difference between how the show was marketed, portrayed and perceived as a series of rich young entitled Long Islanders versus the reality of the struggles, both financially and emotionally, most of the cast were facing off camera in real life. Chanel also opens up about how hard it is to film a reality show with your real life friends and how it is almost impossible for many of those friendships to survive the strains of Reality TV. No discussion of Princesses: Long Island would be complete without the origins of the show’s name and how Chanel and the rest of the cast felt when they were told this would be the name of the series. We discuss how and why, despite Bravo being the perfect home for this show, it was cancelled after just one short season and why David and Chanel think it will always live on as one of the classic Bravo favorites of all time. We know you are preparing for your WWHL appearance, but thanks for fitting us into your busy schedule Miss Omari. Perhaps you will be back soon. #staytuned @chanelomari @chanelinthecitypodcast @chanelinthe @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Max Boyens Breaks His Silence. Max joins us in this exclusive chat to discuss it all. Vanderpump Rules just announced it's cast for Season Nine and that filming will resume this month. As the BravoVerse knows, Max Boyens was terminated from the hit show early last year along with Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute and Brett Caprioni. Max stops by to break his silence about the circumstances surrounding that termination, a series of tweets from 2012 which resurfaced just after he was cast on the hit Bravo show. First things first, we NEED answers from Max and we GET answers from Max surrounding those tweets - how, what, where and why, for starters. We dive deeper into his actions and how that affected several minority groups chatting with Max about, not only the ramifications of his tweets, but how he now feels about those tweets and what, if anything, has he learned from this whole experience. After this difficult, but brutally honest and completely necessary conversation, we chat about the terminations of Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, Stassi’s “apology tour”, which included, but was not limited to, her now infamous appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, and her newly hired PR firm in an attempt at a, for lack of a better word, “comeback”. We also discuss the recent cast departures of Vanderpump Rules OG Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright answering the questions (1) were they fired and (2) if so, is it because of Jax’s actions regarding Faith Stowers. We discuss the future of VPR without Stassi, Jax, Kristen and Brittany, the many rumored Spin Offs (Think Babies, TomTom and VanderVegas) and the current state of restaurants SUR and TomTom as of today. Finally, we chat about Lisa Vanderpump’s involvement in this entire mess, when Max last heard from her, and where we all go from here.

Frankie Grande steps Behind The Rope. Reality TV Star, Red Carpet Host, Influencer, Broadway Legend, LGBTQIA Advocate. Yes, he is also the brother to one of the world’s biggest Pop Stars of our generation, Ariana Grande for those living under a rock, but there is much much more to Frankie than his famous last name. Starting at the beginning, Frankie chats about being on Broadway at a young age - the many shows he was in, the pieces he produced and the many talented, many recognizable celebs he worked with. Frankie explains how and why he became a Social Media Influencer, before that was a thing, how he amassed his current following exceeding 2 Million IG followers, over 30 million You Tube Views, and TikTok stats that leave most speechless, the negative effects social media can have and what he foresees as the future of social. Of course, we chat about Frankie’s decision to temporarily leave all of that behind to enter the Big Brother house and play one of the best games in reality TV history, Big Brother. After Big Brother, Frankie Grande became a household name allowing him to continue his career by doing it all - more broadway, red carpet hosting, more reality TV and so on. What hasn’t Frankie Grande done? Now, he is back having just performed in an all-star studded revival of Rock of Ages as well as an upcoming brand new one night only live streaming musical (this Sunday May 2nd), “Titanique: The Maiden Voyage Concert”, a parody of Titanic set to, yup you guessed it, Celine Dion songs. Celine even makes an appearance as herself, kind of. Frankie chats about what it was like to play Victor Garber in Titanique and whether Celine Dion herself will be tuning in this Sunday night. Finally, we check in with Frankie on his fam - Sister, Mom, Nona and boyfriend Hale and, having met everyone and anyone, do a rapid fire round of Frankie’s hot takes on some of our favorite music divas, not the least of which is his number one (tied with Celine) Queen Madonna! Oh, fear not.

Ben Higgins steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Former Bachelor Himself, steps by to chat about all that has been going on in Bachelor Nation since the end of this controversial “Matt James” season of The Bachelor. Ben shares his thoughts on how he thought Matt did, Matt’s choice to give his final rose to Rachael Kirkconnell and the end of their relationship due, in large part, to her "racially insensitive” past actions. We also discuss Matt’s decision to delete any and all mention of Bachelor Nation on his Instagram answering questions such as what does this mean for Bachelor Nation, how must Matt be feeling right now as he attempts to rebuild his life and whether he should be given another shot, not that he is asking for it, at the lead role. Matt and Rachael were recently seen together in New York City. What does it all mean? Of course, we chat about and question Chris Harrison’s discussion with Rachel Lindsay, his decision to “step aside”, will and should Chris ever return, who should be a permanent replacement for Chris if he does not return and last, but certainly not least, Chris Harrison’s decision to hire the same high powered attorney Gabrielle Union employed when she was “let go” from “America’s Got Talent”. Hmm, the plot thickens. Looking ahead, we chat about the next two Bachelorettes, Katie Thurston and Michelle Young, as well as their hosts, Bachelor Nation’s Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe. Speaking of Bachelors and plots, we check in with Ben about his current engagement to Jessica Clarke, their decision to live apart until married, their ideal wedding, and when they plan on getting married. Ben also chats about his stellar new book “Alone in Plain Sight” and amazing Bachelor Nation Podcast “I Almost Famous Podcast”. Finally we need Ben’s expert opinion of other recent Bachelor Nation couples Tayshia and Zac and Clare and Dale. @higgins.ben @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

João Franco, from Below Deck Med, steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from his home in South Africa, birds chirping in the background, João stops by to fill us in on everything he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV sets and chat all things about two of Bravo’s highest rated shows, Below Deck Med and Below Deck. João explains how, although he was authentically himself, many of his cast mates and Below Deck Med Veterans ’tried” to make a TV show and were all too aware of their images and cameras. Veterans? Well that can only mean two people - Captain Sandy and Hannah Ferrier. Do tell? On that note, let us not forget João was at BravoCon with Colin Macy O’Toole, The Captains Sandy and Lee and Kate Chastain. We discuss BravoCon in detail and why there were some bumps in the road there between João and the rest of the gang. Now that João is a Captain of his own, he chats about whether, as seen on last seasons Below Deck Med, Malia was required to report Hannah’s Valium and discusses how he himself interprets Maritime Law in regards to bringing prescription mediation on board a vessel. Speaking of Hannah Ferrier, we discuss his current thoughts on Hannah and the status of their relationship today. João also opens up about his time filming with Captain Sandy, the ups and down in their relationship since filming, how social media has led to some of the “downs” in that relationship and how BravoCon led to a strange interaction between the two. João also gives us the real deal, holding nothing back, about just how accurate is Below Deck Med when compared to the Real World Yachting Industry and discusses which is more difficult, a Below Deck Charter or a Real World Charter. As far as Real World Charter’s, our mouths are agape when João describes particular charters he has been on with Presidents of Countries, Famous Actresses & Actors and Billionaires. Some of his stories have left The Rope speechless. @joaograntfranco @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - h ttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kate Flannery steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Kate Flannery. Meredith Palmer. Kate shares her journey to becoming one of today’s top comedians. That journey began, in part, at Second City’s Improv Comedy Troupe. That Comedy Troupe was also the training ground for many of our other favorite funny ladies and gents which Kate is happy to chat about - such as Jane Lynch and Steve Carell. Speaking of Steve Carell, Kate entertains all of our many questions about The Office - how she was cast, which plot lines were her favorite, all the behind the scenes fun, what it was like to play fan favorite Meredith Palmer in all her glory, drinking problem and all, and where would Meredith be today, to name a few. We discuss how the ratings for the first season were less than stellar and then a little known movie called “The 40 Year Old Virgin” came into our lives and the rest is history. With the reboot trend not slowing down anytime soon, we chat Office reboot and what exactly that would look like. Kate also opens up about her participation in Dancing With The Stars discussing what dancing each week on national TV in America’s most famous ballroom was like and a few of our favorite of her fellow dancers, James Van Der Beek, Karamo Brown, Lamar Odom Bachelorette Hannah Brown. We also talk about some of Kate’s biggest inspirations that led her to pursue a career in comedy, the strangest Office fan encounter she has ever had, and how and why “being recognized” never gets old. Finally, we chat about her upcoming new movie about Women’s Arm Wrestling. sign us up, “Golden Arm” and that, we can't help but make the comparison, other brilliant Women's Wrestling show, Netflix's "Glow". @thekateflannery @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tiffany Moon steps Behind The Rope. That's Doctor Tiffany Moon from The Real Housewives of Dallas who stops by to chat about all from her freshman year. Tiffany opens up about the difficulties of filming a reality show, raising two children and being a full time physician while filming a reality show. We chat about some of the seasons biggest dramas thus far as they related to Tiffany - the epic Austin vacation, being thrown in the pool and hazed to drink Tequila by Kary Brittingham, Kameron Westcott and her aversion to chicken feet, Brandi Redmond and her aversion to crickets, to name a few. Speaking of Brandi Redmond, Tiffany opens up about Brandi's “racially insensitive” viral video heard ‘round the world’, what it was like to confront Brandi on camera, and the status of their relationship today. We also discuss and dissect Brandi's recent statement of potential departure and hypothesize whether she is really leaving the franchise. We also chat about Tiffany’s own recent statement that she may only be “a one season wonder” and chat about our other fav RHODs D’Andra Simmons and Stephanie Hollman. With the reunion looming, Tiffany explains who she is most anxious to see, what issues she feels will be resolved, and those which she thinks are beyond repair. On a more serious note, we discuss the importance of Asian American representation on shows like RHOD and analyze how Tiffany has changed both on and off camera throughout the season as a result of being a part of the friendship group. Finally, we could NOT let Doctor Moon go without a deep dive into her infamous closet with Tiffany answering all of our burning questions regarding this already iconic Housewives’ masterpiece. Thanks for stopping by Dr. Moon. @tiffanymoonmd @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gregory Zarian steps back Behind The Rope. We have to stop meeting like this. With his “Behind The Velvet Rope” coffee mug in hand - sorry Melissa Rivers, yours is on the way - let us not forget Gregory has been in many, and we mean many, of our favorite TV shows - Nip/Tuck, The OC (Queen Mischa), 90210, Revenge, Westworld, Criminal Minds, Bones and Castle. Let us also not forget his role as “fan fav” Julius on General Hospital. Gregory and David chat about “the business” - the highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of what it means to be an actor, how he prepares for a role, how not to take everything personally, and the most difficult aspects of the business. On that note, Gregory opens up about the constant rejection any and all actors and actresses face, whether that ever gets easier and the advice he would give someone just starting out. We also chat about the, for better or worse, presence of social media in the entertainment business today and the role it plays. This brings up larger discussions such as why people pursue the craft of acting, bullying both IRL and on social media, cancel culture and just what is going on in this ever changing world on a daily basis. Wow. Who knew we were so serious. Speaking of bullying, Gregory chats about his role on the brilliant Venice: The Series, which dealt with issues of bullying, a role he is most proud of. On a lighter note, Gregory chats about his brand new movie, 86 Melrose Avenue, about a diverse group of people at a gallery opening taken hostage forcing them to confront their cultural differences, pasts and potential looming mortality as time ticks away. Of course, all roads lead back to Housewives. For anyone who remembers our past two chats with Gregory, if not, hey, go listen, Gregory calls Kathy Wakile “Mom”. He even has a T-shirt to prove it. We discuss our mutual family/friend Kathy, her daughter Victoria’s recent wedding, and all the goings on this season of RHONJ- team Jackie or Tre? As always, Gregory, love having you.

Melissa Rivers steps back Behind The Rope!! Yup, she is baacck!! We could not think of anyone better to help us break down all the red carpets of this past awards season than the one and only Fashion Icon herself, Melissa Rivers. Melissa does know a thing or two about fashion having hosted and executive produced that little blockbuster of a hit show, “Fashion Police” for many years. Melissa opens up about what Fashion Police would look like in 2021 and would she really ever consider going back. We chat with Melissa about the red carpet fashion, or lack thereof, seen in the past few weeks and chat about her predictions for the upcoming Oscars, which will be held live (no Zooms allowed!). We discuss the best and worst dressed of this awards season, who we have our eye on, and what and who it would take to “fix” the current red carpet situation. The last time we chatted with Melissa Rivers, The Rope had a viral moment regarding Joan Rivers and what her thoughts on wearing a mask would be - Google It. To that extent, we followed up the only way we know how, by discussing what would Joan Rivers think and say about having one's entire glam team come over, spend hours and hours making you up, slipping on a way overpriced height of fashion dress, shoes and jewels to travel to your living room to sit in front of a computer and accept an Award. Or your kitchen? Or bedroom? Speaking of Joan Rivers, she was always honest about her feelings for Ellen. We ask Melissa about Ellen and the public scrutiny she has received over the past year for being a rumored “mean girl”. We chat about Cancel Culture, are comedians “exempt” by the very definition of the job, and how would Joan hold up in our current climate. Of course, we had to ask Melissa the obvious question, would she ever consider joining RHOBH? We chat about who she knows on the cast, what type of Housewife she would be, what type of Real Housewives Mom Joan Rivers would be, and finally what she thinks of our fav diamond holders’ fashion choices. With Housewives and TV on the mind, we chat with Melissa about her ex Fashion Police co-host Nene Leakes’ current “Boycott Bravo” petition and can one ever come back from going against a network, what family she thinks is prime to be the next royal family of E once the Kardashians step aside, and when will she start receiving royalties for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which is so very obviously based on the life of the most Iconic Female Comedian to ever live, past, present, future til the end of all time, Miss Joan Rivers. @melissariversofficial @melissariversgrouptext @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by https://www.storyworth.com/velvet ($10 off First Purchase) This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Having discussed how Michael broke into the business at age six with his Rosanne audition and what it was like working on one of televisions all time greatest shows for a nine year run, we pick up right where we left off last time. Michael looks back sharing his opinions why he think Roseanne was not only such a critical and ratings darling for its entire run but will forever go down in history as one of the shows that changed the face of TV as we know it. Michael opens up about his “lean years” after the show ended, how he didn’t hear from family members Rosanne Barr, Laurie Metcalf, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, and Lecy Goranson as often as he expected, how he got a fast education once he returned to public high school and various odd jobs both in and outside the entertainment business and how playing the part of D.J. Conner for nine years led to a “typecasting” that proved not always an easy feat to secure new roles. Then one day John Goodman appeared on Sara Gilbert’s “The Talk” and everything changed. Within two months, the entire original fast had signed on the dotted line and “Roseanne, The Reboot” was official. Having premiered to insanely stellar numbers, all was great with the world and the family was back together. Not so fast. One viral tweet from Roseanne, would change all that! Just like that, The Reboot was cancelled, the public reacted, Michael issued a statement, Roseanne responded, and…. We discuss the psychology and mental state of what it was like for Michael to get hired for Roseanne, lose his job as D.J. Conner in an instant after Roseanne’s tweets, make an official public statement denouncing the tweets (and including his own views on diversity and inclusion), hearing from Roseanne (publicly) in response to his statements hint: she was not happy, and the “fall out” (however temporary or permanent) of a very close friendship with Roseanne, a woman who was like a second mom and saw him grow up. Confused, Dazed, Shocked and many more adjectives - we emotionally go through the full trajectory of emotions, as well as the exact timeline associated with those emotions. Emotions which then included a job offer to “reprise his role”, immediately, in The Conners. It has been a rollercoaster of a ride to present day, present season of The Conners and Michael is here to share it all as we conclude our Two Part chat with the actor behind the iconic role of D.J. Conner. @reelmfishman @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by https://www.storyworth.com/velvet ($10 off First Purchase) This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Alaska steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Alaska Thunderf**k in all her glory. We start with a brief chat with Alaska about how and why she started doing drag, her fashion inspirations for Alaska’s unique style and makeup and the origins of her infamous name. Alaska opens up about being rejected from Drag Race seasons one through four before finally being given a coveted spot by Ru in season five. Alaska discussed what she feels was different with her drag by season five in order to be chosen as one of Ru’s gals, the reality of the show versus what we all see on TV each week and her runner up status - damn you Jinkx Monsoon. All worked out with Alaska’s runner up status because she returned a few years later for All Stars 2 and this time she won. We delve into the public criticism Alaska received after her win and time on All Stars, the effects of social media on anyone in the public eye and how she moved on from there. One of the ways she moved on was comedy and that comedy included her All Stars Reunion leg toss based on the original iconic leg toss by our very own RHONY’s Queen Aviva Dresher. Of course, we need all the details about the decision to recreate this brilliantly classic moment! Speaking of Bravo, Alaska discusses her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with former Rope guests Peppermint and Trinity, Andy Cohen and the other “guests” that night. Now Alaska has first ever comedy special she is here to chat about called “The Alaska Thudnerf**k Extra Special Comedy Special”. Alaska discussed her comedic inspirations - Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller and Margaret Cho (who is also part of the special), her decision to put this out in a social climate different than when it was originally committed to, the good and bad of cancel culture, what a comedic legend like Joan Rivers would say if she were alive today about cancel culture, and just what is up next for this Comedy Queen, no pun intended, herself. One thing we know for sure, she is busy with her “day job” hosting the hilarious “Race Chaser” podcast with Willam.

Kary Brittingham steps Behind The Rope. We waste no time in breaking down all the goings on this current Season Five of RHOD. Kary chats about her on again - off again “relationship" with newbie Tiffany Moon. Kary breaks down some of her biggest “dramas” with Tiffany so far this season and chats about why they just can’t seem to see eye to eye. Kary also addresses her current unexpected “issues” with Trunk Show Partner in Crime D’Andra Simmons. We discuss the word “bully” which has been thrown around a lot this current RHOD season and address whether that word is being appropriately used in regards to, not only to Kary, but the rest of the cast as well. We have a rapid fire round with Kary on such pressing topics as: nicest, closest with, most fake, who should be replaced, and many others as it relates to Tiffany, D’Andra, Kam, Stephanie and Brandi. Breaking the fourth wall, we address how RHOD, and every other Housewives’ franchise, plays out in large part on social media, as opposed to TV, and how one learns, Tiffany we are speaking to you, to deal with that. Speaking of off air, Kary shares her opinions on Brandi Redmond’s cryptic Instagram message that has viewers wondering, is she really leaving the series? Of course, with all the drama surrounding Kary and some of the other women this season, D’Andra and Tiffany, we needed to ask Kary if she wishes OG LeeAnne Locken were back, instead of one of those two, or in addition to help deflect the drama. Finally, Kary dishes on who she is and is not following on social media, the current status of all of her relationships with RHOD present and past, yes LeeAnne included, and just why don’t we see more of her husband, Eduardo, this season on RHOD. @karybritt @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by https://www.storyworth.com/velvet ($10 off First Purchase) This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ ($15 off First Visit) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With all this talk about a Real Housewives of Miami Reboot, today we share our chat from a few months ago with RHOM's Ana Quincoces. Ana fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens on the classic Bravo Show, The Real Housewives of Miami. Born and raised in Miami, of Cuban descent, Ana is here to tell it all. Ana and David bond over both being recovering lawyers and having moved on to other great careers. In Ana’s case, she has been running a legit business, Skinny Latina. Started in 2013, it is a marinate and sauces business, to help making cooking easier and to help make anything taste good. With a name like Skinny Latina, we have to ask, has she heard from Bethenny Frankel or her Skinny Girl team? The answer is not what you would expect. We also discuss her appearance on the "Food Network Star" and how her fellow contestants felt she got special treatment for being a former “Housewife”. Speaking of Housewives, Ana discusses how she originally got cast, why she said yes to the opportunity and how the producers really felt about her. Ana tells us all about her cast mates Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Lisa Hochstein, Karent Sierra and last, but certainly not least, Joanna Krupa and where her relationship with reach stands today. She explains what being on Watch What Happens Live was like and how her life changed as a result of being on the show. One career high was co-hosting The View - we discuss Barbara Walters, was the environment really as "toxic" as everyone says and what happened when two of her guests were RHONJ's very own Melissa Gorga and Jacqueline Laurita.

With all of this nostalgia floating around the BravoVerse these days, we couldn't think of a better Bravolebrity to have join us than "Fan Favorite" Julie Plake McMinn. You know Julie Plake, The “Coordinator of Chaos" from the Iconic Bravo shows “Bethenny Getting Married” and “Bethenny Ever After.” Checking in from her home in Pittsburgh, PA, with husband and 3 kids in tow, Julie takes us back to the beginning. She moved to New York City basically overnight on a whim when she got a job offer to work at a series of famed New York City magazines. It was at one of those magazines, Hamptons Magazine, that she met Bethenny Frankel, who was hired to cook a brunch at Julie's boss' house. Julie was sent to be Bethenny’s Sous-chef for the day. In typical Bethenny fashion, Julie was thrown right into the job never having been asked by Bethenny of her qualifications or experience in the kitchen. They bonded. After that brunch, Julie said to Bethenny, (1) you are going to be famous and (2) when you are, call me and I will come work for you. News flash. Bethenny did become famous. Very famous. Another news flash. Julie did end up working for her, as seen on Bethenny’s two blockbuster Bravo shows. Julie takes us on her journey of working for Bethenny during the start, rise and sale of the Skinny Girl Empire. She bestows us with the wisdom she learned from Master B herself, what a typical work day looked like, what it was like to film a hit Bravo TV show, the decision to ultimately leave the B, and what that conversation looked like. Julie was also there for the beginning of Bethenny’s relationship with Jason Hoppy, which we dissect. We chat with Julie about recent developments in Bethenny’s life - a hit Podcast, brand new apprentice style show “Big Shot With Bethenny” and engagement - Paul Bernon we are looking at you, as well as in her own life - new business “The Learning Match” which helps connects parents to the educators they need and ongoing "JPM Branding and Consulting” where she shares the wisdom she learned from the best business man, woman, anything we know, Bethenny Frankel, with the rest of the world!!!

Roseanne’s / The Conners' Michael Fishman steps Behind The Rope. Little D.J. Conner all grown up. Let us start at the beginning. Cast at the young age of six, Michael began his acting career when Roseanne Barr herself fought for him to play D.J Conner despite any lack of formal training or experience. Michael discusses what it was like being the youngest on a set that included Roseanne, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson. Michael recalls the best and worst times during Roseanne’s original nine year run from 1988-1997, one of the worst being the death threats the cast received after Roseanne “performed” The National Anthem that was heard around the world. The “best" is the “family” that Michael inherited plus lots of fun guest stars such as Leo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Sandra Bernhard, Sharon Stone, and Bruce Willis, to name a few. Nostalgia at its best, Michael describes what it was like to be on a TV show that became a worldwide global hit overnight and had stellar ratings throughout the years. He also discusses the concept of fame and when he first became aware that he was and how “strange” it was as a child to be asked for your autograph. On a more serious note, Michael opens up about the misconceptions of being on one of America’s top rated and critically acclaimed television shows for nine years - that you are making tons of money and will never have to work again, that you can easily find work in another role when the party ends and that everyone in the “family” will keep in touch when the lights fade.

This is the true story…of seven strangers…picked to live in a house…(work together) and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting real… On that note, Andre Comeau from the original grandaddy of them all, The Real World: New York, steps Behind The Rope. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. We start at the beginning by asking the question, just how did Andre get cast on the first ever Real World in NYC and what was casting like way back when. With no prior reality show to look to, we discuss how he knew what to do when the cameras started rolling - he didn’t. With no predecessor to look to, we discuss how this makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. Andre discusses what he thought the show could do for his up and coming rock band, how he was able to get used to cameras around 24/7, the influence of producers back then, and what he thought of his edit once the show aired. Andre discusses what MTV was like back in the day when it was the channel that played music all day and how he thought the Real World would maybe be a little show that a few people watched. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a multigenerational blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Eric, Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, and Becky and the groundbreaking issues they dealt with way ahead of “their time” such as racism, sexuality, The AIDS crisis. Andre opens up about the aftermath of being in the spotlight, the identity crisis he suffered, the highs and lows of the entertainment business and how to navigate it successfully and come out the other side. Flash forward 29 years, MTV comes a’ callin’ and Andre finds himself back in the same loft for an epic 6 episode arc, The Real World Homecoming: New York. Andre chats about how much has changed, how much has stayed the same, what it was like to see everyone again, the re-heated confrontation between Becky and Kevin over the issue of racism, and just how much the original holds up in the world we live in today. @andrecomeaumusic @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kim D. steps Behind The Rope. Yes THAT Kim from The Real Housewives of New Jersey seasons past. She plays with the big boys and is here to tell us all about it. A close personal friend of David’s, Kim is here to chat about it all. Let us start at the beginning. Born and raised in New Jersey (is anyone shocked?), Kim opens up about her childhood and “the lifestyle” she was exposed to at a young age. Yes, we are talking about the M-O-B. Flash forward to Season Two of RHONJ and the world got to meet Kim D, not to be confused with that other Kim, Kim G, (yes that are often confused) and the world has never been the same since. Miss D reminisces about her time on the show. That time includes those iconic Posche Fashion shows which often ended in brawls, table flips, police, hair pulls and lawsuits. You know, just an average day in the Jerz. Of course, she chats about her on and off camera conflict with both Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga and the status of those two relationships today. What about that recent night David and Kim ran into Melissa and Joe Gorga out in Fort Lee, NJ? Say whaat? Kim also chats about her past and current relationships with some of RHONJ’s finest Dolores Catania, Siggy Flicker, Kathy Wakile, Jaqueline Laurita, Danielle Staub, Caroline Manzo and Dina Manzo. Speaking of Dina Manzo, Kim weighs in on the recent charges filed and ongoing case against Dina Manzo’s ex-husband’s and its alleged Mob Ties. Kim also weighs in on Joe Giudice’s new life in Italy, including his new girlfriend, and the current cast, we have a lot to say about you Jennifer Aydin, and season of RHONJ. We cannot even and we are only getting started. @kimdposche @poschebykimd @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Britney Spears is in a conservatorship which has caused the world to chant the slogan, ‘Free Britney”. So many legal issues, so little time. Former LA Prosecutor Emily D. Baker, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of it all (despite the fact that David is an attorney, Emily has been call in as the expert!). Emily and David discuss the rumored events of how Jen Shah’s arrest went down - Federal Agents pulling over a van full of Salt Lake Housewives en route to Colorado - and the process needed to secure a Federal indictment and subsequent arrest. Emily then translates the federal charges into layman’s terms explaining what conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering actually means. Emily breaks down what happens now that Jen has plead non-guilty, what the next few weeks look like for her, the looming Trial in October, the “other” 10 indicted back in 2019, Jen Shah’s moniker as “top dog” in the alleged scheme, the rapid rate at which this case is moving and stability of her job on RHOSLC. Shifting gears, Emily highlights the key points in the Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi case - the divorce, the forced bankruptcy, the ongoing criminal investigation, Tom’s conservatorship and Alzheimer’s / Dementia claims and last, but certainly not least, Erika’s bizarre behavior on her Instagram account. Regarding both Jen and Erika, we discuss how likely it is that we will really see this all play out during next seasons RHOSLC and RHOBH respectively. Finally, while we have legal guru expert Emily D. Baker, we couldn’t help but end with a chat about the one and only Miss Britney Jean Spears - her conservatorship, the real chances of it ever ending, and what we predict the future looks like her. Thank you Emily. We must do this again soon!

Amber Marchese steps Behind The Rope. Amber pours herself some wine and takes us back to the beginning. The beginning for her, as it relates to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is her past friendship with Melissa Gorga, prior to Melissa becoming a RHONJ. Way back when, prior to Joe Gorga, back when we were all young, Amber was friends with Melissa. She remembers when Melissa was first cast and what that did for her relationship with Sister In Law Teresa Giudice. We discuss how Amber first got involved in casting, what Jim thought about her potential on RHONJ, and how she was ultimately cast. Having never watched the show before, Amber didn't know what to expect with filming, editing, producer involvement, interacting with the other women and the after math of how life would change once the show aired. She talks about “The Twins” and why she thinks her Infamous Season Six of the hit franchise was “off”. We discuss the cardinal mistakes she thinks she made as a part of the show and how she thinks to survive on RHONJ it is important to be align with Mel or Tre. Speaking of Mel and Tre, Amber discusses the positives and negatives of each and what her current relationships with both are today. She gives a full critique of "On Display” and discusses her thoughts on other current RHONJ cast members Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jen Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider. We also discuss her opinions on RHONJ past Kim D., Kathie Wakile, Siggy Flicker, and Danielle Staub. Amber opens up about the very public falling out with her stepson, the origins of that fallout and whether it related to his sexuality (Amber speaks her truth), the involvement of Lance Bass, his husband Michael Turchin, Andy Cohen, and her true thoughts on the LGBTQIA community. Amber discusses the effect this very public dispute has had on her family and the hate she receives both in person and on social media. We foreshadow the current RHONJ season as it plays out. Finally, Amber discusses the joy of being a cancer survivor and what is next for her in life.

Tiffany Rinehart steps Behind The Rope. Ok, ok you probably know her as Kathy Griffin's assistant from that little show called My Life on the D-List. Now a Google employee, thanks to a phone reference by Kathy Griffin herself, Tiffany (now married and Tiffany Helzer) takes us back to the beginning. After graduating college, a huge NSYNC fan, her main goal in life was to meet Justin Timberlake. Instead, she did the next best thing, she got a job working with Kathy Griffin, which led her to meeting and becoming friends with Lance Bass. Her first day on the job involved picking Kathy up at the airport. That worked out well and the rest is history. Not so fast. Tiffany tells us how she was thrown into filming “My Life on the D-List” as a result of working for Kathy, how she eventually got used to the cameras and how surreal it was having grown up on Reality TV classics such as The Real World, The Hills and Laguna Beach. Tiffany tells us Kathy's biggest pet peeve and highest maintenance demands. Of course, there was that one time Tiffany accidentally shipped all of Kathy's clothes to the wrong address. Whops. Then there was that one time she had to have pizza delivered to Cher’s house in Malibu. When Cher called, Kathy went running all the way from her Hollywood Hills home to Cher’s Malibu compound and Kathy didn’t just go running for anyone. Speaking of Cher, David and Tiffany bond over Cher having both met and spent time with the Goddess IRL. As far as celebrities go, Tiffany sure met a lot during her tenure of working for Kathy. We do a fast round of gossip on each: Paris Hilton, Tyra Banks, Bette Midler, Suzanne Somers, and TI. We also discuss Tiffany’s “secret society” circle of Celebrity Assistant Friends which included not only Lance Bass, and the frequent game nights at his house, but also Christina Applegate, Goldie Hawn, and Queen Bethenny Frankel’s assistants. Of course being an assistant has it perks, flying first class, five star hotels, private planes and attending the NBC Upfronts where she met Teresa Giudice and The Manzo’s Caroline, Lauren and Albie. Of course, we discuss one of Kathy’s biggest comedic inspirations Joan Rivers and what traveling to London with Kathy and Joan Rivers was like. Finally, we discuss Kathy’s entanglement in “Cancel Culture”, how that ultimately led to her fall out with both Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, how Andy Cohen was a “Boss” to work for, and what being a guest on Watch What Happens Live (Tiffany was the Bartender) was really like. This plus much more! @tiffanyhelzer @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson, otherwise know as Alex M, Steps Back Behind The Rope (our Part I sit down with Alex M aired January 13, 2021. Feel free to check it out if you haven’t already done so.) Alex wastes no time getting right back in to where we left off - talking about all things Laguna Beach and Reality TV. Alex opens up about what it was like to watch her friends on those “other” reality shows in the franchise, The Hills, The Hills: New Beginnings and Very Cavallari for years after she was no longer on Laguna Beach. Speaking of The Hills: New Beginnings, Alex discusses her thoughts about the show, including the casting of The O.C’s Miss Mischa Barton. Speaking of Very Cavallari, Alex divulges her thoughts about Kristen’s recent breakup with Jay Cutler and decision to end her successful reality show after only three seasons. Obviously, no discussion of Orange County would be complete without a nod to our favorite RHOC ladies. Alex discusses which of our fav Orange County Housewives she knows in real life and who she likes most on the show. Alex even has a funny tie to OG of the OC Lauri Peterson. We certainly did not see that coming. Orange Country really is just a small world, isn’t it? We also discuss that other current Adam DiVello blockbuster, Selling Sunset, how it feels and looks like The Hills and how everything Adam touches in the world of Reality TV turns to gold. Alex discusses other real life Southern California friends like Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis. Do tell. She does. Alex ponders whether she will show her children Laguna Beach and what would she say if they came to her wanting to film a reality show while still in High School. Finally, we address the recent viral OG Season One Laguna Beach reunion that Lauren Conrad organized and why she thinks, Laguna Beach, Season Two, should also have been included. Tune in now as our Part II chat with Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson concludes. @alexmurrel @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Rachel Uchitel steps Behind The Rope. Hot off her recent Wendy Williams appearance, yes we discuss how Wendy “came for her” and whether Wendy owes her an apology, Rachel is here to open up about it all. Let us start at the beginning. Yes, for those living under a rock, she was once the “face” of 911 and tied to Tiger Woods. Those are facts that can’t be denied, but there is much more to Rachel Uchitel than meets the eye. Okay fine, we chat about the recent HBO Documentary on his life, which she was a part of, the scary car crash which he just suffered, and how just for once it would be nice to have an interview where a certain someone’s name doesn’t come up. Rachel expresses her feelings about the fact that her past keeps coming up ten years later in interviews, explains the biggest misconceptions about her, dishes the real truth about her life that the media got all wrong and how hard it was, at its height, to live with intense media scrutiny once her relationship was outed. In other words, what it was like being trolled - before that was a thing. Now that we got that out of the way, we move on to all else that Rachel has going on in her life. As we said, there is much more to Rachel than, um, something that is ten long years in the past. Of course we chat with Rachel about those Real Housewives of New York City rumors about her joining the cast that surface every season - how true are they, how close has she come to joining, who she is closest with on the cast, what type of RHONY would she be, who would she fight with, and just what is the real deal with her past, present and future relationship with our fav RHONY playboy and friend, Harry Dubin. We come clean with Rachel about our sit down chat with her “frenemy” from Celeb Rehab, Janice Dickinson, some of the past boys she has been, either correctly or incorrectly linked to - yes Ryan Seacrest we are talking to you, and what exactly is her type. Rachel is now the face of popular dating website “Seeking”. She sheds light on how this position came about, the misconceptions associated with this website, how rewarding these “up front” and “honest” relationships can be, how sugar dating is different than escorting, how she is helping the company rebrand, how she hopes she can truly help people find love on line though his newly appointed partnership and, of course, which of our fav RHONY would likely find love on the website. @racheluchitelnyc @seeking @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Apostrophe https://www.apostrophe.com/pod/VELVET/ Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you are someone who watches the news or reads the paper, you have heard this news. You have all talked about this news. Gossiped about this news. Today we are joined by expert, Former Federal Defense Attorney Trisha LaFache, to help break it all down. The fact that David is also a lawyer certainly doesn't hurt as these two discuss it all. First, we chat about the "rumored" events of Jen leaving the RHOSLC cast trip leaving the women to be pulled over by Federal Authorities, all apparently caught on camera by Bravo. Trisha explains just how the Feds work, explains how a Federal case differs from a state one, and just how likely it is that this ACTUALLY happened. Oh wait, you mean all these rumors being spread around ClubHouse and on IG lives may actually not be true? Shocking. Yea, read our sarcasm Next, Trisha explains the charges in layman's terms, how likely it is that Jen would receive the maximum sentence of 30 years, and what happens next. Having defended many many many Jen Shah's in her lifetime, Trisha chats about the mindset of someone like Jen Shah who allegedly ends up in a nationwide telemarking scam, what goes through their mind and how they act once arrested. Finally, Trisha explains what will likely happen next, how this will affect her role on RHOSLC and relationship with the other cast members and Bravo, and how likely it is we will see any of this next season when our fav snow bunnies return for Season Two. Have the past few days been confusing to you trying to make sense of it all, decipher what is real versus fabricated? This is THE episode you have been waiting for all week.

Lisa D'Amato - Fan Fav from Cycle Five of the hit Reality Show America's Next Top Model, competing for the affection and approval of one Miss Tyra Banks.

She chats about ANTM judges Miss J, Nigel Barker, Twiggy and last, but certainly not least, Janice Dickinson as well as about Creative Director Jay Manuel. Lisa confirms and debunks many of the vicious rumors heard over the years about the tension on the set and the “my way or the highway” rumored attitude of Tyra Banks. Leaving no detailed spared, Lisa explains how she felt she was treated by Tyra and Producers, the good, the bad, the other. There was a lot of bad and a lot of other. We discuss! She chats about her status as “fan favorite” once the show aired, largely in part due to her outspoken nature. That outspoken nature found her back on ANTM, this time "All Stars”, Cycle Seventeen, which she won. She chats about how life changed as a result of winning ANTM and what came next. That next eventually included her Dare-U-Go! product pitch on Shark Tank, where she got a deal with the one and only Miss Barbara Corcoran.

She is used to feeding her community through the two restaurants she owns with her husband, The Draycott and Olivetta.

Frankie Jr steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Frank Catania. Son of the one and only Miss Dolores Catania from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Welcome man. Home from Sacred Heart University for the weekend, Frankie is here to chat about it all. Ever wonder what it is like to be the child of one of The Housewives that we love so much? Well Frankie lets us in on that little secret. We discuss how Dolores originally got involved in filming and what it was like to all of a sudden, as a teenager, have cameras in his house filming his, his Mom’s, and Family’s every move. Frankie also discusses what it was like once the show came out and he was deemed “fan favorite” - how people at school reacted and what it was like when he went away to college being Dolores Catania’s son from RHONJ. Speaking of college, Frankie talks about his love of finance and how he plans to be “The Wolf of Wall Street” and take over the world once he graduates later this year. We discuss all the RHONJ drama that Frankie has been witness to the past several seasons, first hand, while filming, and discuss some of the more shocking moments that have occurred over the years. On a larger note, Frankie breaks down why he thinks the rest of the world is, for lack of better words, obsessed, intrigued, and mesmerized by New Jersey and why he thinks shows like Jersey Shore and RHONJ are so successful with viewers. He also discusses some of the misperceptions people have about the State of New Jersey based on some of these TV shows and is here to clear those stereotypes up. Of course we discuss the picture that went viral of him and Gia Giudice at The Prom, the current status of their relationship, whether one day he may call Teresa his mother in law and answer the one question on everyone’s mind, just what is Frankie’s type of woman.

Summer House’s Danielle Olivera steps Behind The Rope. Summer House, Season 5. Danielle is here to break down all the current season drama from other’s love triangles (thank you Luke, Ciara, Hannah), to her own entanglements (Hannah suggesting she kissed Luke only because Lindsay told her to), to the traumatic physical fight between her roommates seen last week. Speaking of her roommates, we chat with Danielle about just how different the process was this season in The Hamptons when filming Summer House actually became “Quarantine Summer House”. Danielle chats about why she decided to return as a full time cast member after “walking away” to a reduced role last year and how it felt to be back under different circumstances. She also pays homage to those who have been voted off the island - Lauren, Stephen, Jordan and Jules discussing just what it takes to be successful among this group of friends and predicts just how Ciara will fare with fans as the weeks roll on and we get to know Summer House’s newest roommate better. Of course we chat about all of her other roommates - Paige, Carl, Kyle, Lindsay and Amanda - and discuss where the status of each of these friendships is today. Might we see another kiss with Luke before the season ends? Will things heat up with her boyfriend who we have only met via Zoom (ahh, a sign of the times)? Will Kyle and Amanda make it through the rest of the season without another epic fight? Will Carl and Paige find their way back to the pantry? Will Hannah and Lindsay continue to stay clear of each other or is that just impossible living in the same house. These and many more questions answered before we finally play a game of “who would you rather” Summer House edition and sign off with Danielle. After all, she does have a day job to get back to. @danielleolivera @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

We catch up with DeShawn on all she been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens. All includes going through a very public divorce from three time NBA finalist Eric Snow plus starting a successful life coach business while also continuing her day job as one of Sotheby’s top Real Estate Agents. Feeling totally nostalgic as this current season of RHOA rolls on, we chat with DeShawn about her involvement in the franchise - casting, filming, her edit, and how life changed as a result of being involved in the series. We also chat about her exit from the show, how producers thought she was “too normal” and “too nice" for the direction the show was going, how she found out she wasn’t coming back, and why so many housewives who come on our Pod just won’t admit that they were terminated. As we reminisce RHOA’s Freshman Season, we chat with DeShawn about her cast mates Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu, Shereé Whittfield, and last, but certainly not least, Nene Leakes. We chat about Season one Nene and Kim, could we tell both were Reality TV ratings gold back then and how each has changed throughout the years.

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 on her first album, “The Fame Monster”, Kelly Clarkson on her biggest hit to date “My Life Would Suck Without You”, Miley Cyrus on her original anthem “Party In The U.S.A.” and many others that we could not help but to ask about such as 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 and the fact, yes it is a fact, that Prince is the biggest musical genius of our, or possibly any, generation! Of course, this dynamic duo is also here to chat about their brilliant new album, “American Griots” - the inspirations behind that, their musical idols, their love of the music from the 70’s and 80’s (we couldn’t agree more), and the message they hope is received from a listen. Finally, we chat about the lack of good music out today, the recent “virtual Grammys” and their stellar new girl group, The Shindellas. A hot new girl group?

Jackie Tohn steps Behind The Rope. Best known for her breakout performance as Melanie “Melrose” Rosen on Netflix’s award winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece “Glow”, Jackie stops by to share it all. Originally from Long Island, NY, Jackie moved to LA at 18 to follow her dreams of becoming an actress. Early in her career Jackie appeared on many of our favorite shows such as “The Sopranos”, “Veronica Mars”, “Strangers With Candy”, not the least of which was “The Nanny”, in which she played a young Fran Drescher. Turns out Kristen Bell is a close friend and they actually have an animated series coming to Amazon in the very near future! There was also that one time she lived with Jessica Biel and her parents in Calabasas. So much to kvell about, so little time. Jackie opens up about those experiences and chats about some of her comedic and thespian role models that inspired her to break into the business of acting. To our delight, Joan Rivers and Howard Stern are two of these inspirations and Jackie has even been involved in The Howard Stern show in the past, which she is more than happy to discuss. Jackie also chats about her singing abilities, those abilities which led her to the semi finals on “American Idol” and Bravo’s very own “Platinum Hit” (Kara DioGuardi, we see you!). Jackie shares stories from behind the scenes on Glow, chats about the disappointment when Season 4 was indefinitely shelved due to lockdown and hints at what the future holds for the un-filmed season and possible Glow movie (what a wish!). Jackie is now the host of Netflix’s “Best Leftovers Ever”, we delve deep into this brilliant show, her own food preferences and culinary abilities with leftovers and what being a host of her own Netflix show means to her. @jackietohn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Amy Phillips steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Amy Phillips. Master impressionist of all of our favorite Bravo Housewives and Friends. Ok, let us back up. Amy had a whole career, and life, before falling into the BravoVerse. Originally from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Amy moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Comedy. Some of Amy’s early impressions were some of our favorite Iconic Ladies - Martha Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres and Gwyneth Paltrow, to name a few. One day Amy caught a glimpse of a little reality show called “The Rachel Zoe Project” and from there was hooked on Reality TV and Bravo. Amy reminisces on that early time in Bravo’s history and her love of some of the OG shows such as The Millionaire Matchmaker, Blow Out and Top Chef. Amy started the brilliant “Meet Amy Phillips” You Tube Page shortly thereafter with a now nostalgic impression of the one and only Rachel Zoe. Ba-na-nas. As a result of this impression, her phone rang. It was Watch What Happens Live calling to ask if they could use her Rachel Zoe impression on air during an upcoming episode. She said yes. #duh The next thing she knew she was The Bartender on Watch What Happens Live doing an impression of Ramona Singer FOR guest Ramona Singer. Amy now is the host of the stellar “Reality Checked” SiriusXM Radio Show on "Radio Andy” where she dishes on all of the latest Bravo tea and recaps all of our favorite shows. Amy discusses a plethora of current Bravo events with us here today such as the hiring of actresses into the RHOBH franchise (Denise, Rinna, The Richards Sisters, Garcelle and so on - good thing or bad thing?), all in the family (welcome Kathy Hilton!), this just past season of RHOC (as bad as everyone says. Elizabeth Vargas, anyone?), her favorite city in the franchise (did someone say #RHONY), and which Housewives should have never been hired (we will leave that one a mystery for when you listen to this episode). A real sport of a guest, Amy was kind enough to entertain our many impression requests with stand out appearances on this very episode from all of our favorite friends, including, but not limited to Bethenny Frankel, Lisa Rinna, Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Erika Jayne, Lisa Vanderpump, Dorit Kemsley, Dorinda Medley, Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Teresa Giudice, LeeAnne Locken, Lea Black, Kyle Richards and last, but certainly not least, Danielle Staub.

Mary and David are also real life friends with many of the RHOD such as Jen Davis, D’Andra Simmons, and LeeAnne Locken. Mary and David talk about these friendships and what these women are like in real life when the cameras are not rolling. They also talk about what happens when you are friends with both LeeAnne and D’Andra, two Housewives who notoriously don’t get along. What happens if they both wanna hang and grab drinks the same night? Who do you choose? Mary also chats about this season of RHOD sharing her opinions on other newcomer Tiffany Moon, how important is it to eat chicken feet, how well Bravo dealt with Brandi Redmond’s "racially incentive”, for lack of a better word, viral video, and just how the franchise is holding up with the absence of OG LeeAnne Locken. Speaking of LeeAnne, Mary and David chat about whether Bravo did the right thing in letting LeeAnne go and is there a double standard considering other Bravo cast members still have a job. Of course, David didn’t let Mary go without hearing the RHODC gossip update. Mary fills us in on all the off camera drama and updates going on in her life as well as in the lives of Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Staci Turner and last, but certainly not least, Michaele Salahi Schon.

Claudia Wells steps Behind The Rope. Best know for her role as Marty McFly’s girlfriend, “Jennifer Parker” in the 80s Classic “Back To The Future”, Claudia is here to tell it all. Claudia almost didn’t get a chance to star in the first film in this overly successful franchise due to a conflicting TV pilot. Fear not, alls well that ends well. 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 and how, due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, she was back 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.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Mike Hill steps Behind The Rope. Mike Hill. Also known, to us BravoHolics as Mr. Cynthia Bailey. Before delving deep into what y’all wanna talk about, RHOA, yea we know, we chat with Mike about his childhood, illustrious career as a Sports Journalist, and stellar tell all book, “Open Mike” (yup, great title). Mike opens up about some of the traumas he has faced in life as detailed in the book, how writing this book was not only cathartic, but basically “saved his life”, and how through the writing process he was able to let go of childhood demons and become the man he is today. Deep we know, but really, it is a great book! Ok, now we can get into what y’all wanna chat about, The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Mrs. Cynthia Bailey Hill. We start at the beginning, their chance meeting on The Steve Harvey Show during a rapid round of “The Dating Game”. Cynthia chose Mike as her “date”, and the rest is history. We discuss how Mike feels about filming RHOA with wife Cynthia and how the transition from full time Sportscaster to part time Bravo Housewives Husband has been. We needed, and got, answers on what he really thinks about the RHOA women, the RHOA drama, the social media feuds which are part of any Housewives job, and whether he is ever shocked at just how far our favorite Peach Holders will go to make good TV. Of course, we also needed to chat about Miss Linnethia Leaks - the real reasons behind her sudden departure from RHOA, the cast's reactions, her lack of response to the Bailey Hill wedding invite, her current petition to boycott Bravo due to her claims of alleged racial improprieties and Mike’s predictions for the future of Nene’s friendship with Cynthia. Speaking of the Bailey-Hill wedding, we chat about Cynthia’s now infamous Bachelorette Party, Bolo, the male exotic dancer in the middle of it all, and just which of the Peach Holders we suspect “hooked up”, allegedly, with Mr. Bolo in all his glory (see Kenya, we are here to help you uncover the season's core mystery). We also chat about his nuptials to Cynthia - what we saw play out on RHOA, the behind the scenes details we did not see on TV, and the public outcry and reaction to holding a 250 person wedding during a global pandemic. Thank you Mr. Hill for stopping by and being, well, an “Open Mike” (Available everywhere books are sold!). @itsmikehill @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Housewives of Dallas’ Jennifer Davis steps Behind The Rope for her first ever sit down chat interview regarding her involvement in The Real Housewives. Who is RHOD’s Jennifer Davis? By the end of this episode you will be able to answer that question. After a little chat with Jennifer about her Dallas heritage (born and raised), her stint as a Model (living in NYC at a young age with Eileen Ford), and career in Real Estate (it’s the family biz), we get into what y’all wanna talk about, The Real Housewives of Dallas. We chat with Jennifer about how she came to know this group of women and was ultimately cast on the show. Of course knowing this group of women has to do, in part, with her long time friendship with Kameron Westcott. After breaking down that friendship, we get all of her first impressions of and current opinions on her fellow RHOD cast mates D’Andra Simmons, Kary Brittingham, Brandi Redmond, Stephanie Hollman and Tiffany Moon. Jennifer opens up about going through a very public divorce shortly after being cast, how one adjusts to life in the public eye, and the rumors that her divorce and lack of participation from her then husband effected her “Full Time” status as a Housewife. We chat with Jennifer about some of the highlights of this RHOD season so far and discuss what we can expect the rest of the season. We discuss whether Jen knows RHOD OG LeeAnne Locken - her relationship with her and thoughts on last season, LeeAnne’s exit from the show and how she feels this season is different in the absence of LeeAnne. Jen chats about her Watch What Happens Live dream and the Boss Man himself, Mr. Andrew Cohen. Finally, being a Real Estate Powerhouse, we had to delve deep into those classic Real Estate shows with Jen - Million Dollar Listings LA and NYC as well as Selling Sunset (Season 4 coming soon.

Floribama Shore’s Aimee Hall steps Behind The Rope. Season Four. How did we get here? Aimee is here to help us make sense of it all and take us on her journey from small town girl, growing up in a city the population of which was 200 in its entirety, to the stars of one of MTV’s most popular reality shows in history. We chat with Aimee about all of her cast mates discussing the good, the bad, the other - Nilsa, Gus, Kirk, Jeremiah, Candace and Codi. Aimee sheds light on the current season tension between Jeremiah and Gus, answers the ever present “will they” or “won’t they” between Nilsa and Gus, discusses what a now pregnant Nilsa is really like, teases what we can expect to see in the upcoming weeks on Floribama Shore, and explains just how different Season Four will be from the rest. On another note, we couldn’t help but ask Amy about that other amazing, brilliant, equally as fun MTV show, Jersey Shore, discussing the obvious comparisons with Floribama Shore’s Northern Sister, who she has met from that cast and who her favorites are. Speaking of meeting people in the public eye, Aimee discusses her two time VMA’s experience, and some of her favs in attendance, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Of course, Aimee informed us that even though this chat was conducted on a Monday at 9am, she was about to start her Momosas for the day. We would expect nothing less from any self respecting Floribama Shore cast member.

LeeAnne Locken steps back Behind The Rope. Welcome back Ms. Locken! (for anyone who hasn't listened to our initial chat with LeeAnne, feel free to check it out). LeeAnne discusses the two new Real Housewives of Dallas cast members, Tiffany Moon and Jennifer Davis. We also discuss her up and down, now up, relationship with Cary Deuber and her infamous one liners and iconic moments - they are just hands, it's not worth jail LeeAnne, and last, but certainly not least, your husband gets his D sucked at the Round Up. We discuss what LeeAnne thinks is the differences between Stephanie and Brandi, and whether she thinks her RHOD experience would have been different in the absence of one to the two. We discuss what other franchises she would love to be a part of, hint it is not what you would think. She discusses what it was like to get married on TV and what happened behind the scenes that we did not see. She discusses how being a Housewife is an all consuming job where your whole life becomes “about the show”. Finally, we once and for all put to bed the drama surrounding LeeAnne last season addressing the double standard she thinks exists between herself and some of her prior cast members regarding this issue, and who else she thinks should be held accountable, and for what, from the current RHOD cast. She gives details about her Real Housewives of Dallas exit, how she feels about the epic last season reunion and the “hot seat” she was put in, and answers the age old question, “would you ever go back”.

Speaking of Survivor and Reality TV competition shows, Arden explains why Top Chef is one of her favorites. She also chats about how her and BFF Lance Bass applied for and will most likely be on the Next Season of The Amazing Race, whenever it is safe in the world for that little gem to come back.

After a brief chat with Chef Natasha about her life before Bravo, a difficult childhood and troubled marriage, and Michelin-star restaurant (now ranked number one in the world) that she worked in, we get into what ya all wanna talk about, this current season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Natasha chats with us about how she was cast, what filming was like, and how she is handling watching herself each week on the TV as the show airs. Natasha is more than game to answer our rapid fire questions about all of her cast mates including seasoned Bravo vet Captain Glenn. Speaking of her cast mates, there seems to be something brewing in the coming weeks with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher which we had to, and were more than eager, to ask Natasha about. Coming off a season of probably the best chef in Below Deck history, we chatted with Natasha about Chef Rachel - where they met and became friends -, other past Below Deck Chefs, and whether she felt pressure to fill Rachel’s shoes. Natasha explained the similarities and differences between being a cast member on Below Deck Sailing Yacht and a “real life” charter, pet peeves of colleagues as well as charter guests, who she would replace of her current season’s cast mates, the best and worst thing about the Bravo experience, any regrets she had, how it changed her as a person and last, but certainly not least, how she wants to be remembered from this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Blake stops by to discuss his experience within the Bachelor franchise. He chats about what it was like to be cast, film, the other guys in the house, and ultimately be rejected and not receive the final rose or a chance to propose to the then girl of his dreams. On a more serious note, Blake opens up about the mental health “issues” he faced as a result of the on-line bullying and hate he received after Paradise and just how bad things got. Fear not, Blake bounced back. Blake shares stories from his current dating life, what type of woman is his type and who “famous” has slid into his DMs. Of course, we took this opportunity to chat with Blake about all things current, and boy oh boy there is a lot going on in Bachelor Nation these days. We grade Matt James on how he did as The Bachelor, talk about Queen Victoria, discuss the “bullying” we have seen this past season amongst the women vying for Matt’s heart (Blake knows a thing or two about bullying), chat about which eliminations were the most shocking, the rumor of Katie as the next Bachelorette and who we think will receive the final rose, Rachael Kirkconnell, and if there will be a marriage proposal accompanying that rose. On that note, we address Rachael’s past “alleged racial” actions and social media posts, Bachelor Nation’s response to those actions and posts, Chris Harrison’s chat with Rachel Lindsay which caused him to “step aside” from his role as host within Bachelor Nation, whether Chris should have stepped aside, the public’s reaction to Chris’ statement and, now, cancellation, the involvement and responsibility of ABC, whether Chris will ever and should ever be back and, if not, looking ahead to the future. Like we said, there is a lot going on these days in Bachelor World and Bachelorette runner up and fan fav Blake Horstmann is here to help us make sense of it all.

Fashion Icon David Meister steps Behind The Rope. From a young age, David knew fashion was his calling, inspired by such fashion conscious TV shows like The Sonny & Cher show. Yes, Cher was his inspiration! Do we need to know anything else? Of course, like any other fashion forward lad, David made his way to New York City, then Los Angeles, and the rest is history. With signature collections in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Saks, David has done it all. He has dressed them all as well. In this case all includes, but is not limited too, Olivia Palermo, Debra Messing, Whitney Port, Pamela Anderson, The Jane’s Lynch and Fonda, Sofia Vergra, Sharon Stone, and Julia Louis Dreyfus. We chat with David about what working with each of these Iconic women was like - the good, the bad, the other. David also chats about his dream to dress, Angelina Jolie, and that one time he was absolutely speechless when he met her. We also chat with David about Awards Shows, which is the most exciting to dress someone for and which is the biggest hassle. We also chat about some of the best and worst dressed celebrities - men and women. Of course, no chat with us leaves out Real Housewives. David has a new collection for HSN and let’s face it, when we think of HSN, we think of everyone’s favorite QVC icon, Lisa Rinna. We chat with David about what advice Rinna gave him as he ventures into this exciting new partnership with HSN and that time he dressed and attended the CFDA Awards with Rinna offspring and Fashion Icon, Miss Delilah Belle Hamlin!! Finally, we chat about Fashion in TV throughout the years - Fashion Police, Joan and Melissa Rivers and Project Runway. @david_meister @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World’s First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America’s Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen’s “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice’s early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra’s notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. Did we mention the whole reason Janice was here was thanks to her good friends, literary agent Alan Nevins and celebrity chef Joey Santos. Not only do these guys know Janice well, they know everyone, and we mean everyone, in Hollywood and are talking about it on their stellar new Podcast aptly titled, “Two Guys From Hollywood”. On their Pod, they don’t dish, they serve. Literally, they serve food and drinks (thank you Joey) to their guests each week while they unpack never before heard tidbits from some of the entertainment business finest including, but not limited to, our BFFs from across the river Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania and, well, yours truly (yup Behind The Velvet Rope appeared last week! - feel free to check it out). Thanks boys for all, especially for delivering Icon in the Flesh Miss Janice Dickinson Behind The Rope. Oh, and the best part of this foursome? We are just getting started. Part II coming soon! @janicedickinson @rltagency @jojoboy13 @twoguysfromhollywood @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Real Housewives of Dallas’ D’Andra Simmons steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home office, D'Andra is here to tell it all. D’Andra starts with the obvious - how she is feeling since the world heard via viral media that she had Covid and was in the Hospital. Once we chat about that and which Housewives and Bravolebrities she heard from during this scary time, we get into what everyone wants to chat about. This current season of RHOD. This current season, of course, includes a full discussion of cast mates Stephanie Hollman, Brandi Redmond, Kary Brittingham and Kameron Westcott. D’Andra explains who she thinks is having a hard season, who always gets by easy, how the season is going for her and what the status of each of these relationships is like today. We also chat about newbies Tiffany Moon and Jennifer Davis Long. D’Andra opens up about how and why she recommended Tiffany Moon and discusses the importance of minority representation on television. D’Andra discusses why Tiffany is a great addition to the cast and, on that note, what it takes to make a great housewife, the appeal of housewives in general and why people keep tuning in every week. We, once and for all, get a clear answer on what it means and takes to be a "society woman" in Dallas and just how important is a last name like Simmons in the Cowboy State. We also chat about Mama D, why America is so intrigued by their mother daughter relationship. D’Andra discusses who she knew before the show, the challenges of filming any reality show and the power of the edit. D'Andra discusses the allure of fame and who from RHOD she thinks is the most changed by the show. Of course, we get into the one thing missing from this current season of RHOD, LeeAnne Locken. D’Andra discusses how the show is doing without LeeAnne, how the women reacted to her departure, and how and why her departure has left its mark on this current season. Finally, we chat about upcoming “hints” of what is to come, this seasons’ feuds and what she expects will go down at the ever so close to be filmed Season Five reunion. All right, all right, we will stop rushing the rest of the season. Let’s just enjoy this chat with D’Andra for the moment and wait and see… @dandrasimmons @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bachelor Nation Fan Fav, the one, the only Mike Johnson steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Mike is here to talk about his infamous Season 15 of The Bachelorette and time on Bachelor in Paradise. Bachelor Nation rejoice. Mike shares the full trajectory of his journey, his thoughts on Bachelorette Hannah Brown, what it was like to get so close and not be chosen, Paradise, and fellow Bachelorette contestant and also “fan fav” Tyler Cameron. Mike and David also chat about how likely is it to really find love on national TV, Mike's own love life, and the effect the Bachelorette had on that very love life. Speaking of Mike’s love life, we went there and had to bring up his rumored “relationship” with Pop Star and Icon Miss Demi Lovato. We also discuss Mike’s other relationship, his Bromance with now roommate, current Bachelor Nation bro, Connor Saeli. Connor even makes a cameo on this very Podcast here today! We would love to be a fly on the wall in that apartment, but this is definitely the next best thing. Mike opens up on what it is like to almost have been the “First Black Bachelor” and the emotional mind F of almost being chosen, to not being chosen, to the fans reactions, to what ABC explained as their reason for not being chosen. Of course, we discuss the current season of The Bachelor and give a full report of how we think our current heartthrob Matt James is doing. We also chat with Mike about how he felt when Matt James was chosen, instead of him, as the “First Black Bachelor” and how it is about time! Speaking of the current season of the ABC powerhouse reality show that does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon, we discuss Matt James’ remaining three, Queen Victoria - is she for real or just looking for Instagram followers, and just who do we think will be asked to accept that fateful final rose. We also discuss the recent breakup, and now makeup (?), heard throughout Bachelor Nation of Dale Moss and Clare Crawley as well as Mike’s stellar Podcast “Talking It Out” with Bachelorette Winner Bryan Abasolo. @mike_johnson @talkingitoutbn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bachelor Nation’s Michael Garofola steps Behind The Rope. First things first, we chat with Michael about his recent “run-in” with a security guard. Michael chats about how he was assaulted and "had his phone smashed” as a result of this run in. Michael opens up about the circumstances surrounding this run in - what caused it, how it played out, the resulting injuries and the charges he has since pressed as a result. Once we make sure Michael is alright, we delve deep into what ya all wanna chat about, Bachelor Nation. Michael chats about his experiences on the “often underrated” reason of the Bachelorette he was on with Desiree Hartsock. Proving that you can really find love on TV, she is still married to and has a child with final rose holder Chris Siegfried, Michael breaks down how he felt when he was eliminated by Desiree and chats about the behind the scenes shenanigans of being on a show in the Bachelor Nation empire. Those shows also include Bachelor In Paradise and Winter Games. We discuss both. Speaking of Winter Games, we chat about one of Michael’s co-stars, the one on everyone’s minds and lips, Clare Crawley. We discuss the breakup with Dale and the current pictures of the two of them back together (?) that recently surfaced on line. Of course, we could not let Michael escape our clutches without discussing our current Romeo, Matt James, and how his season is going. On that note, we address Rachael Kirkconnell’s past “alleged racial” actions and social media posts, Bachelor Nation’s response to those actions and posts, Chris Harrison’s chat with Rachel Lindsay which caused him to “step aside” from his role as host within Bachelor Nation, whether Chris should have stepped aside, the public’s reaction to Chris’ statement and, now, cancellation, the involvement and responsibility of ABC, whether Chris will and should be back and what the future looks like for Bachelor Nation. There is a lot going on these days in Bachelor World and Michael is here to help us make sense of it all. @michaelgarofola @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Real Housewives of Jersey’s Tessa Hartmann steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home in the Channel Islands, Tessa is here to chat about it all now that the first season of Jersey has come to an end. Tessa chats about how she was cast, what filming was like, why she decided to join the cast of Jersey and how accurate, or inaccurate, she finds her edit to be now that the show has aired. Tessa fills us in on Housewives and Reality TV from across the pond and we discuss whether each are as big a deal over there as they are here in the States. On a larger note, we chat about Celebrity Culture in the modern day and age and whether we, as a world, have taken it too far. We cannot help but chat about what other Housewives she has heard from now that she is part of the legacy. We have two words for you - Lisa Rinna! We also discuss how many people across the world have reached out to her expecting to see her flipping tables with Teresa Giudice or throwing husbands in the pool with Margaret Josephs on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Speaking of celebrity culture, we discuss Harry and Meghan - their move to the states, what Tessa and the rest of our friends oversees thought about that, and the “royal” perception of them now. We had to ask Tessa about her knowledge of the brilliantly classic Bravo series “Ladies of London” and her friendships with the cast in real life. We also had to ask about Daddy Andy Cohen and Tessa does not hold back in her message to him. Of course, we chat about the drama from Jersey this past season - hey some things are universal when it comes to Housewives no matter where in the world they are filmed.

Luke Gulbranson, from Summer House, steps back Behind The Rope. Checking in from his Michigan Lake House, show shovel in hand, flannel clad, shoveling snow, Luke is here to fill us in on all since we last saw him on our TV screen during the Summer House Season Four Reunion. Well, almost all. Ok we did manage to sneak a few Summer House questions in there such as the what his real intentions were in his “relationship” with Hannah Berner, how Carl is really doing after losing his brother earlier this year, will Kyle and Amanda ever tie the knot and what really has been up with Danielle Olivera. Of course, we wanted to dish all about Summer House Season 5, or as we call it, Quarantine House. We picked Luke's brain about Ciara Miller, the new kid on the block, his “friend” who he brought into Summer House - what can we expect from her as the season progresses on and is she really the total package, Mother Teresa meets Naomi Campbell, as Paige so aptly pointed out. We needed to know how he thinks Ciara is handling herself in this crazy group, better than Jules we hope (yes we just made a Jules Daoud reference). Did everyone catch Luke in the HBO Drama “Flight Attendant” alongside Kaley Cuoco. Ooh, we needed all of our Big Bang Theory questions about Miss Kaley answered as well as Luke’s dream Actor and Actress Co-Stars. We also “went there” asking Luke if he were still single, what is his type and what celebrity / celebrities does he have a crush on? Luke opens up about one of his Bravolebrity BFFS, the one, the only Miss Dolores Catania and yes, this is a friendship we are here for. Do tell Luke! He does!!. We also chat with Luke about the status of his many business: currently making a ring for Summer House co-star Danielle Olivera, his new Men & Woman’s Fragrance Line, his upcoming Maple Syrup Line - no you did not read that wrong - as well as his upcoming Furniture Line. Finally, we chat with how Luke is enjoying splitting his time between Minnesota, New York City and The Hamptons and what we can expect next from the man with many talents. @lukegulbranson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Care Of https://takecareof.com (Enter Code velvet50) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who isn’t watching the current 25th Season of ABC’s The Bachelor, one of the longest running Reality TV Shows in history. Who better than to help us break it all down than someone who has lived it first hand. This is the Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast after all and that is how we do it, first hand all day, every day. Enter Kendall Long, former Bachelor Season 22 and Bachelor in Paradise Season 5 contestant. First we catch up with Kendall finding out everything she has been up to since looking for love and roses on national TV. Speaking of looking for love on national TV, Kendall chats about former Bachelor Arie Luyendyk, Jr. who was supposed to be her “Knight In Shining Armor”, what being eliminated right before the Final Rose Ceremony was like, and discuses the likelihood of finding ever lasting love on a Reality TV show. Kendall also opens up about ex-boyfriend, fellow Bachelor in Paradise cast mate, Joe Amabile - the good, the bad, the other. Kendall and David chat about their fav Bachelors and Bachelorettes of all time and the epic last season of The Bachelorette - Clare Crawley “blowing it up”, her supposed rumored communication with Dale before the show, their breakup, and recent on line pics of their rumored makeup. Of course, we talk all things current season - how hot Matt James is, the drama that has already occurred amongst the women, the cringeworthy moments, Queen Victoria in all her glory and who will get that infamous final rose - supposedly Rachael Kirkconnell - and possible marriage proposal, mere weeks from now. On that note, we address Rachael’s past “alleged racial” actions and social media posts, Bachelor Nation’s response to those actions and posts, Chris Harrison’s chat with Rachel Lindsay which caused him to “step aside” from his role as host within Bachelor Nation, whether Chris should have stepped aside, the public’s reaction to Chris’ statement and, now, cancellation, the involvement and responsibility of ABC, whether Chris will and should be back and, if not, who should take over as the new host of Bachelor Nation.

The Real Housewives of Jersey’s Ashley Cairney steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her home in the Channel Islands, Ashley is here to chat about it all now that the first season of Jersey has come to an end. We start with a little chat about how she was cast, what filming was like and how accurate, or inaccurate, she finds her edit to be now that the show has aired. Ashley fills us in on Housewives and Reality TV from across the pond and we discuss whether each are as big a deal over there as they are here in the States. On a larger note, we chat about Celebrity Culture in the modern day and age and whether we, as a world, have taken it too far. Being a huge fan of Reality TV before she was cast, we chat about one of her favorite shows, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and some of our favorite diamond holders, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards. Of course, we chat about the drama from Jersey this past season - hey some things are universal when it comes to Housewives no matter where in the world they are filmed. Ashley chats about Channel Island’s reaction to having a Housewives Franchise filmed there as well as the response, on the island, and social media, of viewers all over who have watched the first season. Ashley also opens up about being the youngest on the Jersey cast and, at only 31 years young, one of youngest Housewives of any franchise oversees and here in the states - Jo de la Rosa and Ashley Darby we are looking at you.

Meredith and Brooks Marks step Behind The Rope. Yes, in their first EVER Mother and Son Marks chat, Meredith and Brooks stop by to discuss all that has been going on this freshman season on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake. We chat with Meredith and Brooks about how they were cast, what filming was like, what reservations they had about joining the franchise, and how life has changed since RHOSLC has graced our TV screens for the past many weeks. Of course, we discuss all of Meredith’s cast mates in full getting both her and Brooks’ opinions on Jen Shah, Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose and last, but certainly not least, Mary Cosby. We chat about some of the dramas of the season - smelling like hospital, F’ing your Grandpa, and being traumatized by Jen Shah’s private parts - and where Meredith’s relationships with each of these women stands today. Yes, Brooks opens up about his “breakout star” / “fan fav” moniker but we needed to know who Meredith and Brooks think is the least favored by America and why, who changed the most, has let fame go to her head, and is not the same off camera as on. Man, are we being super shady today? We pay homage to both Meredith Marks Jewelry and Shop Brooks Marks and ask, beg, and plead for our very own Brooks Marks sweatsuit, every “drop” of which sold out online almost instantly- take that Salt Lake Fashion Week! Finally, we chat about what each has learned now that Season One has come to a close, what Meredith’s true thoughts on the reunion are, and what we can expect next week during its conclusion. Of course, now that Season Two has officially been Green Lit, we discuss how both Meredith and Brooks want to be remembered for this season and what they expect for the explosive Season Two to come. @meredithmarks @brooksmarks @shopmeredithmarks @shopbrooksmarks @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Trista Sutter, THE Original Bachelorette, Steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. 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. Ya right, she thought. 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. From a low low to a high high, Trista discusses that and all of the emotions in between. 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. On a more serious note, Trista opens up about the difficulties of keeping their romance a secret as a freshman season of The Bachelorette played out for America, the pressures of dating Ryan with the whole world watching and what it was like to be the first ever Bachelorette in the “role reversal” spin-off. Trista chats about just how far the franchise has come creating an entire “Bachelor Nation” and how unbelievable it is that The Bachelor and Bachelorette have also given birth to Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor Pad and The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart. We discuss just how much the show has changed since its more innocent days to involve tons more over the top drama and sex. Of course, we touch upon all of the back lash “current” surrounding last season's Clare and Dale and this season with Matt as the story progresses. In true Bachelor Nation fashion, there is a never a dull moment now, is there? Finally, we discuss Trista’s stellar podcast “Better Etc. with Trista Sutter”, the pilot episode of which Husband Ryan Sutter was a special guest. Trista brings years of experience to her new Podcast venture where she will be chatting with experts and everyday better about how we can all be better versions of ourself. From one Podcast Host to another, welcome to the game Trista, and thanks for stopping by. @tristasutter @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Bling Empire’s Andrew Gray steps back Behind The Rope (Part I of our chat aired February 9th, 2021. If you haven't checked it out - feel free to do so.) Bling Empire is THE hottest show of the moment and we are LIVING for it. Andrew chats about how he got involved with Netflix’s break out 2021 hit show about a group of very wealthy, and we mean very very wealthy, Asian “friends” living in Los Angeles and what filming was like. Andrew is very forthcoming about his “role” as the shows “villain” (his words, not ours), when he knew he was going to be portrayed this way and how he feels about this edit. Speaking of his edit, we chat about the resulting public’s outcry about his on screen relationship with girlfriend Kelly Mi Li. Andrew opens up about having his behavior and relationship analyzed and called “toxic”, “abusive” and even that which should come with a “trigger warning” all across the world. A key crucial scene that led to much of this public disapproval came from the fateful Paris trip with Anna Shay. We discuss that trip, what was real versus “non-real” (imagine that a reality show not being 100% real), and how Kelly and he reacted to this scene when watching it back together. Of course, we discuss the evolution of his relationship with Kelly Mi Li - meeting, first date, when they fell in love, how filming a reality show affected their relationship, break ups, make ups and the current status of their relationship today. On a more serious note, we discuss how forthcoming Andrew and Kelly were to show it all on Bling Empire, including each of their own struggles with mental health. Finally, we chat about Andrew’s career, discuss what it is like for an actor to be more recognized because of a viral reality show than any past work, how life has changed since the show first aired and last, but certainly not least, what is it really like to be The Red Power Ranger (twice over). @andrewgray @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Hot off her recent Below Deck appearance, Jackie Siegel steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Jackie Siegel. Jackie Siegel from the infamous, before its time, Reality Documentary “The Queen of Versailles”. Checking in from her home in Florida, 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 rumored return of The Real Housewives of Miami to Peacock Streaming. Remember we said she was just on Below Deck aboard My Seanna for a two episode arch? Jackie pulls back the layers of what it is like to be a guest on Below Deck, what our favs of the crew this season are really like, her recent job offer to Chef Rachel to leave a life at sea behind for an official “Chef of Versailles” title, just how relaxing is a luxury yacht vacation when an entire Bravo crew is involved, and the one thing Beck Deck Producers told her was off limits. On a more serious note, as seen on Below Deck, similar to Captain Lee, Jackie and David lost their daughter Victoria Siegel to a drug overdose in June of 2015. If you or your loved ones need help, the Victoria’s Voice Foundation can help. @therealqueenofversailles @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Are you a huge Real Housewives fan? Are you watching Oxygen’s “Killer Motive”? If so, do you love it as much as we do here Behind The Rope? If not, you must check it out. Just like you, yes you faithful listeners of ‘Behind The Velvet Rope”, cannot look away from the train wrecks that you witness each week on your favorite Bravo shows, you will not believe your eyes when you watch “Killer Motive”. Emmy-winning journalist Troy Roberts joins us today to talk about this stellar show. If Troy’s name sounds familiar, it may be because of his his award winning work with CBS’s 48 Hours or his time with the CBS evening and morning news. Troy chats about what it is like to host “Killer Motive”, a true crime series that guides viewers through some of our nation’s most horrific murders fueled by vengeance, jealousy, fear and greed. We discuss how each episode exposes dark and twisted motives that lead to gruesome murders and how this show is different than other true crime series in that it focuses on the psychology and motives of the people who committed these awful, heinous acts. We pick Troy’s brain on what he has learned as host, chat about whether he himself has become good at solving the mysteries, and discuss why true crime shows are so popular across the world. Finally, we ask Troy for any advice he has picked up through his day job on what to do if ever faced with a life threatening situation and what we can expect the rest of this stellar season. This is one you will not want to miss! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Patti Stanger, our favorite Matchmaker, is back for a third time to, what else, chat about all things Celebrity, Real Housewives and Love. Who better than to break it all down for us than our very own Love Doctor, Miss Patricia Stanger, The Millionaire Matchmaker herself. We start the only place we know how to, The Real Housewives. Patti weighs in on many unconventional Housewives’ couples - how they met, their courtships, marriages, and, of course, divorces, which sometimes change day by day. Keeping it left coast for a moment, we get Patti’s professional advice on RHOC’s Braunwyn Windham-Burke and her girlfriend’s relationship - both the chances of that lasting as well Brunwyn’s recent viral comments that she would be “heartbroken” if open marriage husband Sean were to “move on” with someone else. Also, what about Sean, how is he doing through all of this? Heading east, we discuss the always on-again, off-again, currently, we think, off again marriage of RHOA’s Kenya Moore and Marc Daly discussing whether Kenya should keep her man or, well, kick him to the curb. While east, we head north and, obviously need Patti’s advice, she is a NJ native after all, on Teresa Giudice’s new man, Luis Ruelas. Things seem to be moving pretty fast if Teresa’s Instagram is any indication of real life (c’mon kids, isn’t it always?). No discussion of Teresa would be complete without Joe Giudice and his new girlfriend over in Italy, a self proclaimed Tre fan, Daniella Fittipaldi. For all you single folks out there, we know what you are thinking, yes there is something here for you too, our fav single gals of them all, the RHONY Luann, Ramona, Sonja, Leah and last, but certainly not least, Bethenny Frankel - yes we discuss Bethenny’s sudden split from boyfriend Paul Bernon and their recent hand holding via Instagram. As much as we hate to admit it, life isn’t all about Real Housewives and Bravo. On that note, we get Patti’s take on some of the hottest couples and breakups of 2021, Kim and Kanye - no last names needed, Harry Stiles and Olivia Wilde (RIP Jason Sudeikis), Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, Katie Holmes and her Boy Toy Emilio Vitolo, to name a few. So for everyone out there listening to this with their one night stand, on their first date, with the love of their life, or alone curled up with a nice Dry Martini, let us just say from Behind The Velvet Rope to you, Happy Valentines Day. @pattistanger @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.fiverr.com/business (use code VELVET ) Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Isaac takes time out of his busy day to chat about his “Isaac at Cafe Carlyle” virtual concert series, the third of which premieres tomorrow night (on BroadwayWorld Streaming Platform) with special guest Orange Is The New Black’s Lea DeLaria. Isaac discusses how he and the brilliant Lea DeLaria met on a flight from, he thinks, Indianapolis, and it was love at first sight. He also discusses the musical inspirations that help shape each evening’s set list which has even been known to include classics by Queen Madonna. Speaking of Isaac’s friend Madonna, who doesn’t Isaac know, we discuss the evolution of her career, and fashion, from the 1980s (think Virgin Bracelets) to the modern day Madge we see on our daily Instagram visits.

RHONY’s Favorite “Friend Of” Elyse Slaine, sorry Barbara Kavovit, is back for an unprecedented Fifth Time!!! We just cannot get enough of our friend, not “friend of”, Elyse. We catch up with Elyse to see how life has been on the Upper East Side and in Southhampton for Ramona’s Ex-BFF. Elyse fills us in on her day job, Cryptocurrency Trading, no we do not understand it any better than the last four times she was here, and her unofficial side gig of giving advice from time to time on her Instagram. Fear not for anyone who doesn’t understand Crytocurrency Trading, Elyse is going to be holding training videos on her Instagram. Her first student, the one, the only Leah McSweeney. No really, she is teaching Leah Crypto. For anyone who follows her closely, you will also know that “Ask Elyse” has become a semi-regular or regular, depending on the day and how the market is doing, thing for Elyse on her IG. On that note, being Valentines day and all, we couldn’t think of anyone better than to, well, seek advice from. Before we get there, everyone can breath a sigh of relief, yes, we chat with Elyse about the status of all her friendships with her other RHONY cast mates - LuAnn de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Dorinda Medley and last, but certainly not least, Ramona Singer. We compare Spoilers and Fodder of what we have both heard from the set of current RHONY filming, and pry Elyse for any gossip that we may not know. You KNOW we are good like that. Since Elyse is here to give advice for Love Day, we break down the dating patterns and habits of all the aforementioned Real Housewives of New York, discuss what each of the women does wrong when trying to land a man, and discuss who we predict will first make it to the alter. Speaking of RHONY, we chat with Elyse about her newfound friendship with that other mentioned “Friend Of” Barbara Kavovit which started casually late last year and has blossomed into a full blown “romance” made for The Hamptons and NYC’s Upper East Side. Finally, we ask Elyse the top listener questions - yes y’all have sent in some good ones - that we have received regarding Love and Valentine’s Day and Elyse does not hold back in setting all you lovelies straight. Missing RHONY on your TV sets as much as us, tune in now for a catch up with the one and only Elyse Slaine. @elyseslaine @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.fiverr.com/business (use code VELVET ) Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bling Empire’s Andrew Gray steps Behind The Rope. Bling Empire is THE hottest show of the moment and we are LIVING for it. Andrew chats about how he got involved with Netflix’s break out 2021 hit show about a group of very wealthy, and we mean very very wealthy, Asian “friends” living in Los Angeles and what filming was like. Andrew is very forthcoming about his “role” as the shows “villain” (his words, not ours), when he knew he was going to be portrayed this way and how he feels about this edit. Speaking of his edit, we chat about the resulting public’s outcry about his on screen relationship with girlfriend Kelly Mi Li. Andrew opens up about having his behavior and relationship analyzed and called “toxic”, “abusive” and even that which should come with a “trigger warning” all across the world. A key crucial scene that led to much of this public disapproval came from the fateful Paris trip with Anna Shay. We discuss that trip, what was real versus non-real (imagine a reality show not being 100% real), and how Kelly and he reacted to this scene when watching it back together. Of course, we discuss the evolution of his relationship with Kelly Mi Li - meeting, first date, when they fell in love, how filming a reality show affected their relationship, break ups, make ups and the current status of their relationship today. On a more serious note, we discuss how forthcoming Andrew and Kelly were to show it all on Bling Empire, including each of their own struggles with mental health. Finally, we chat about Andrew’s career, discuss what it is like for an actor to be more recognized because of a viral reality show than any past work, how life has changed since the show first aired and last, but certainly not least, what is it really like to be The Red Power Ranger (twice over). All this and we are only getting started! @andrewgray @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chaz Dean steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from the Hollywood Hills home he shares with his three Labradors, Chaz is here to tell it all. First things first, Chaz fills us in on his journey from his early days of working at a LA Salon to eventually purchasing that salon, developing WEN hair care products, taking over QVC and, of course, those infamous WEN infomercials - think Alyssa Milano and Brooke Shields - that we all love so much. Speaking of celebrities such as Brooke and Alyssa, his very first well known client was Nicolette Sheridan and from there things just took off. She told a friend who told a friend and soon he was doing hair for much of the Aaron Spelling Empire. That empire included such Superstars as 90210’s very own Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. As their stylist, Chaz heard and knew it all! The things he could, and does, tell! Let us not forget there was a time way back when where Shannen, Tori and Jennie didn’t exactly all see eye to eye. Our very own RHOBH Lisa Rinna was also a client and is a current friend. What happened when Nicolette Sheridan walked into his Salon one day while Rinna was in his chair? Umm, yea, exactly what you are thinking. Not well. There was also that one time he had to run to Casa Rinna for a Delilah Belle Hamlin hair emergency. Chaz has stories for days and we are LIVING for it. Chaz is also close with Liza Vanderpump. Wait, how does that work also being friends with Rinna? Are you starting to see a trend? Tune in to hear it all - Chaz Dean, the man behind the WEN empire, chats about business, hair and what we love best, Celebrity on this Part I sit down of our interview with Chaz Dean. @chazdean @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.fiverr.com/business (use code VELVET ) Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Who isn’t watching the current 25th Season of ABC’s The Bachelor, one of the longest running Reality TV Shows in history. Who better than to help us break it all down than someone who has lived it first hand. This is the Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast after all and that is how we do it, first hand all day, every day. Enter Lacey Mark, former Bachelor Season 21 and Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 contestant. First we catch up with Lacey finding out everything she has been up to since looking for love and roses on national TV. Speaking of looking for love on national TV, Lacey chats about The Bachelor application / interview process, filming the hit show, the other women - the good, the bad, the other, and last, but certainly not least, her edit. She also talks about Bachelor Nick Viall, who was supposed to be her “Knight In Shining Armor”, and discuses the likelihood of finding ever lasting love on a Reality TV show. Lacey and David chat about their fav Bachelors and Bachelorettes of all time and the epic last season of The Bachelorette - Clare Crawley “blowing it up”, her supposed rumored communication with Dale before the show, their recent break up as a couple, and Tayshia Adams as a replacement. Of course, we talk all things current season - how hot Matt James is, the drama that has already occurred amongst the women, the cringeworthy moments (think Dildos on arrival, thank you Katie), Sarah removing herself, Queen Victoria, the new girls, Chris Harrison in all his glory, the rumored frontrunners, and who will get that infamous final rose, and possible marriage proposal, mere weeks from now. If you are a Bachelor fan, your time has finally come. Bachelor Nation’s Lacey Mark has arrived to help us make sense of it all. @laceymmark @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lisa Barlow, hot off the RHOSL finale, steps Behind The Rope (with special guest appearance by John Barlow). The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Lisa Barlow and we could not be more excited to chat with her about this new stellar addition to the franchise. After a brief background on Lisa, where she grew up, how she ended up in Salt Lake, where she met husband John Barlow, and all things Vida Tequila (yes kids, we have a new Housewives’ product!), we get right into all the current drama on the freshman season of RHOSL. Lisa explains which franchises she watched prior to being cast on the show, how she originally got involved in the show, why Salt Lake is the perfect location for a Real Housewives show and what other Bravolebrities and Housewives she heard from now that the show has aired. Lisa dives deep on her many year friendship with fellow cast mate Meredith Marks and is happy to discuss all of her new “friends” Jen Shah, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, and Whitney Rose. Lisa chats about who she thinks was authentically themselves during filming and was portrayed accurately now that the show has aired. She also chats about who loved the camera a little too much and brought the drama even when there was no drama needed to be brought. On that note, Lisa opens up about what what she thinks is the biggest misconception of herself, reflects back on some of the seasons already iconic moments and chats about what she plans, if anything, to do differently for Season Two. With our prodding, she addresses Vanderpump Rules Katie Maloney’s recent comments about her “Queen of Sundance” title that Jen Shah bestowed upon her. Thank you Lisa. Finally, we discuss the Vida Tequila event Bethenny Frankel attended back in the day and what she has to now say to the Skinnygirl Mogul. A true RHOSL extravaganza not to be missed. @lisabarlow14 @johnbarlow16 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Randall Emmett steps back Behind The Rope. Back in a simpler time, before the exciting news of Randall and Lala’s pregnancy announcement, before the cast changes on Vanderpump Rules, back when all our favorite VanderKids were still a part of the gang, before Scheana and Jax and who knows who next was with child, we sat down with Randall for a special two part chat (Part I aired June 24th 220. Feel free to check it out). Today we bring you the very special second part to that chat. How interesting to listen to just how much things gave changed in what, six short months? Randall talks to us about his friendships in the Vander Group, how he became one of the boys, and what couple date nights with Lala and the other VanderKids is like. Randall and David discuss the evolution of the cast from living in small apartments to being “on top of the world”. Where else do you get a job as a waiter and end up a millionaire. From a Producer point of view, and Randall is one of the best, we discuss. We talk about how he would never be able to do Lala's job, or the job of any reality TV star who has to “put it all out there”. We chat about Randall’s upcoming nuptials to Lala and the cast, sorry Sandoval, who are most likely going to be part of the wedding. We also discuss whether his upcoming wedding will be part of the upcoming Vanderpump Rules season. Speaking of Sandoval, we chat about his current relationship with Jax and the tumultuous past season of Vanderpump Rules. We talk about other cast members such as Kristen, Scheana and James. Being a fellow Podcast host, we discuss “Give them Lala with Randall”. We also discuss Randall's new film as a first time director and his matchmaker abilities, think Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. Finally, Randall is kind enough to entertain all of David’s questions regarding 50 Cent and the legend that will forever be “FOFTY”!!! @randallemmett @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Flipping Out’s Megan Weaver steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from her bed, no really Megan is in bed, in The Valley, Megan is here to tell it all. Owning her Valley Girl status, Megan takes us back to the beginning, her first job was working as a Production Assistant for Steven Spielberg. She worked on them all, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Twister, Schindler’s List and saw them all Antonio Banderas, Tom Hanks, and oh, there was that one time she stayed in Leo DiCaprio’s Malibu Beach House. How did Megan get from Spielberg to Megan Weaver Design? 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 discuss the first time she realized Jeff Lewis’ work style may be a “little different" than Megan was used to. Ok fine, that is an understatement. 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 Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Drag Queen Extraordinaire, NYC Nightlife Legend, Friend to RuPaul, Lady Bunny. We pick up right where we left off. Lady Bunny is very open when chatting about the phenomenon that is her BFF’s RuPaul’s Drag Race. Bunny weights the pros and cons and ultimately answers the question on whether she feels Drag Race is good for the Drag Community as a whole. When a legendary Queen like Lady Bunny talks Drag Race, we listen!! We discuss how and why Drag Race has become the “mainstream” Emmy winning blockbuster that it is today, the changed perception amongst mainstream viewers of Drag, and how Drag has changed throughout the years from when Bunny and Ru were starting together back in Atlanta, Georgia. Lady Bunny fills us in on all her current projects including, but not limited to, HNN: Hateful Hags Network, a Vimeo Comedy Special she stars in alongside Drag Race Season Six Winner, the one and only Miss Bianca Del Rio.

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. Jo opens up about what life was like when the flashbulbs faded. Fun story, it involved a bartending job and TMZ. Jo is now trying to “reinvent” herself in LA through her stellar PopCandy Podcast and booming YouTube Channel, documenting the art of the comeback and the life of becoming an influencer. As she looks ahead with these and various other projects, she spends the hour with us looking back at her legacy in The Real Housewives of Orange Country Franchise. Thanks for stopping by Jo. *** Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jo who lost her Dad earlier this Month due to Covid. @jodelarosaa @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/10velvet (Use code 10velvet for 10 FREE meals, including free shipping.)

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 is kind enough to answer our many questions about off camera shenanigans between cast members and chat with him about 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! We also had to ask Sean about his recent guest star role on Fox’s 9-1-1 and what working with the likes of Jennifer Love Hewitt and legend Angela Bassett was like. Finally, we chat about the recent announcement that Odd Mom Out is now streaming on Peacock TV. You are welcome. A fun trip down memory lane!. @seankleier @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/10velvet (Use code 10velvet for 10 FREE meals, including free shipping.)

Checking in from his home in Ohio where he is now a successful Real Estate Broker, Suede is here to tell it all. Born Stephen Whitney Baum, Suede was a name that started in college at Kent State and, well, just stuck (full story inside with how the name came about). After college, and a move to, where else, New York City, and several jobs in the industry - Polo, Jordache, Geoffrey Beene, Old Navy, Suede had a dream that Tim Gunn urged him it was time to apply to Project Runway.

Speaking of “Making It Work”, Suede opens up about Project Runway Mentor Tim Gunn, what it is like to work with him as a Mentor on the hit TV show and what Tim Gunn is like in real life off camera.

Jenny Hutt steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. Jenny was born in Roslyn, Long Island to Charles & Bunny Koppelman. A “big wig” in the record industry, her Dad knew them all. By all, we mean he worked with the likes of Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Vanilla Ice. Jenny grew up going on vacations with Barbara Streisand and “hanging out” with Dolly Parton. Obsessed with Rap Music at a young age, RUN DMC played at her Sweet Sixteen Party and The Beastie Boys were also in attendance. Remember the MTV Show “My Super Sweet 16”? Ok, you get the idea. After college Jenny went to Law School, before accepting a position as her Dad’s executive assistant for his newly found position as Chairman and Right Hand Man to Martha Stewart at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. It was at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia that Martha’s daughter Alexis befriended her and decided, hey, we are going to have a radio show together. For the next several years, Jenny and Alexis hosted “Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer” at SiriusXM. That Radio show led to a TV Show on the Hallmark Chanel of the same name where they interviewed a variety of guests such as national treasure Paula Abdul. It was also during this time that Martha and Jenny’s Dad starred on a little known reality show called “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart”. Jenny couldn’t believe her eyes when one of her college friends was a contestant on the show, Miss Bethenny Frankel. Jenny enlightens us with what Bethenny was like in college and how even way back when, she was determined to know and have it all. Jenny has a funny story about Bethenny selling motorcycles in Europe. Yup, always the hustler, even back then. Regarding the radio show, one day Alexis was “over it” and the show ended, leaving Jenny to form her own stellar SiriusXM Radio Show “Just Jenny”. Jenny talks to us about some of her favorite guests such as Kerry Washington, Rob Lowe and, oh yea, she was able to connect with childhood “friend” Dolly Parton for a formal sit down interview. Finally, we discuss her brilliant invention, Bunny Eyez, the flippable, tiltable, wearable reading glasses, discuss whether she would ever take that invention on Shark Tank and of course, discuss once of life’s most important questions, which shark would you chose to invest. An episode not to be missed. @justjennyhutt @bunnyeyez @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Trivia Star (a Super Lucky Game) - Download Trivia Star in Apple or Google Store Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps Behind The Rope. First Vicki fills us all in on what she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens. For those of you who don’t know, she bought a house in Mexico, had a stellar Whoop It Up Podcast (which BTVR appeared on), has been running Coto Insurance, and has just been enjoying time with her family (Steve, Michael, Brianna, Ryan & The Boys). Vicki and David discuss the trajectory of being a Housewife - the beginning (so hopeful), the middle (save your $), the inevitable end (Cue The Five Stages of grief). We discuss the concept of resigning and quitting versus being fired and let go. Vicki lets us know what advice she would give, not only to Season One Vicki, but other Housewives starting out and what she has learned throughout the years during her tenure on the hit Bravo show. Speaking of the beginning, Vicki and David discuss how much the show has changed since the beginning - the salaries, the vacations, the women, the drama! We discuss the involvement of producers and editing throughout the years and the concept of “reality” as it exists, or lack thereof, in any reality TV show these days. Vicki opens up about her highs and lows during her fourteen years on the show. We discuss the evolution of her relationships that we saw play out on national TV - Don, Brooks, Steve. Vicki discusses her relationships with Kelly Dodd (where she thinks it all went wrong), Tamra Judge (going strong), Shannon Beador (can it be repaired?) as well as RHOC past Jeana Keough, Meghan King Edmonds, Heather Durbrow and Alexis (“Jesus Jugs”) Bellino. Vicki is honest about what she misses the most about Housewives and answers the age old question, would you ever go back? Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma. Slade Smiley’s infamous comment and her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van? @vickigunvalson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Trivia Star (a Super Lucky Game).

Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard from Bravo’s The People’s Couch step back Behind The Rope (Part I of our sit down aired December 8, 2020 - feel free to check it out). Julie and Brandy get right into it. They talk about how they went from being cast members on The People Couch to official hosts of The Vanderpump Rules After Show. Of course we needed all the details on the many Pump Rules guests on their show - Jax, James, Kristen, Brittany, Lala and of course, the Queen herself, LVP. They discuss how you prepare to interview LVP and Giggy and what the set was like the days Lisa & Giggy were there. They also explain what it was like to hang with the Pump kids in a social setting. Do tell. They do. They discuss their multiple appearances on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen plus their appearances on Radio Andy. There was also this one time prior to all this that they attended an Andy Cohen book signing! On a more serious note, Brandy opens up about the dark period she fell into after The People’s Couch ended and how her and Julie reinvented themselves as the hosts of the Dumb Gay Politics Podcast, a podcast for people who know nothing about politics, aka politics made fun. To start their podcast, they did what any other self respecting host of The Vanderpump Rules After Show would do. They reached out to Stassi to ask her advice on how to Podcast (I guess we weren’t available). Finally, us Bravo aficionados talk about the evolution of Bravo throughout the years and how the network we know and love today has come a long way since the Bravo of yesteryear. @mrjuliegoldman @peeweethepeoplescouch @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Trivia Star (a Super Lucky Game) - Download Trivia Star in Apple or Google Store Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Lisa D’Amato, from America’s Next Top Model, steps Behind The Rope. Holding nothing back, Lisa is here to tell it all. Starting her modeling career at the young age of twelve, Lisa learned many of the tricks of the trade, which would later help her when she applied to America’s Next Top Model on a dare. That worked out well and Lisa soon found herself on Cycle Five of the hit Reality Show, competing for the affection and approval of one Miss Tyra Banks. Lisa chats about what living in the model house was really like, the competitiveness of her fellow model contestants and the pressure she felt from producers while filming. She chats about ANTM judges Miss J, Nigel Barker, Twiggy and last, but certainly not least, Janice Dickinson as well as about Creative Director Jay Manuel. Lisa confirms and debunks many of the vicious rumors heard over the years about the tension on the set and the “my way or the highway” rumored attitude of Tyra Banks. Leaving no detailed spared, Lisa explains how she felt she was treated by Tyra and Producers, the good, the bad, the other. There was a lot of bad and a lot of other. We discuss! She chats about her status as “fan favorite” once the show aired, largely in part due to her outspoken nature. That outspoken nature found her back on ANTM, this time "All Stars”, Cycle Seventeen, which she won. She chats abut how life changed as a result of winning ANTM and what came next. That next eventually included her Dare-U-Go! product pitch on Shark Tank, where she got a deal with the one and only Miss Barbara Corcoran. She takes us behind the scenes of Shark Tank and all the shenanigans taking place behind the scenes off camera. @lisa_damato @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Trivia Star (a Super Lucky Game).

Vicky Vox steps Back Behind The Rope (Part I of our sit down aired on December 4th, 2020. Feel free to check it out. Vicky came directly from Kelly Osbourne’s birthday party, a little hungover, to dish it all!). Vicky originally decided to do Drag because she needed the $50 pay day that came along with the job. She got herself some clothes and heels, picked her name, and the rest is history. Quickly adopted, shortly thereafter, by Drag Mother Detox, the two have been fast friends ever since. That friendship saw Detox through her star turn on RuPaul’s Drag Race. That friendship also saw Detox, one fateful night, as she was the lucky bidder of the infamous nightly several thousand dollar Madonna Madame X Polaroid. Congrats Detox. Vicky discusses the pressure Drag Queens feel today to participate as a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race and how the “younger generation” of Drag wannabes grow up knowing no other world. Vicky also discusses RuPaul, her history and origins and place in the Drag Community today. Vicky opens up about a career high when she was nominated in the same category as Broadway Legend Patti LuPone for her role as Audrey II in the hit West End production of Little Shop of Horrors.

Gregory Zarian steps back Behind The Rope (For everyone who hasn’t heard, our Part I sit down with Gregory Zarian aired December 29th, 2020. Feel free to check it out). Picking up right where we left off, Gregory chats about his Soap Opera career which started with “Days of Our Lives” and included fan fav role Julius on “General Hospital”. Speaking of daytime TV, Gregory chats about his recent Emmy nomination, for his role on “Venice the Series”, a role that deals with bullying, something near and dear to Gregory and David, having both grown up having been bullied. On the topic of TV, we need Gregory’s hot takes from his guest star roles on many of our favorites: Nip/Tuck, Revenge, 90210, The OC, and last, but certainly not least, Westworld. We discuss what it was like on set of each of those shows and, of course, in typical Rope fashion, we need all the juicy details. Ryan Murphy, Emily VanCamp, Evan Rachel Wood, Donna Mills… we discuss it all! We also discuss his recurring role on CSI as well as his dream role in ShondaLand on the juggernaut that is Grey’s Anatomy. Of course, all roads lead to Real Housewives. With the new season of RHONJ almost upon us, we chat with Gregory about the woman he calls “Mom”, the one, the only Kathy Wakile. Gregory recounts how he met Kathy, the New York Fashion fashion show they “attended” with Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley (we told you we had Housewives fodder to discuss), and just how they became “family”. He also talks about some of his other east coast Jerz friends and run ins, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania and Danielle Staub. Heading west, let us not forget that Gregory lives in LA and travels in the same circles as the likes of Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards, Eileen Davidson. He also fills us in on the fact that his Dad, Larry Zarian, was BFFS with Robert Kardashian. Say whaaat? Way to burry the lead Gregory.

Heather Thomson steps Behind The Rope. 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. One day, Heather got a call from a casting agent and, well, the rest is history. 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. Heather was one of these “new crop” Housewives, 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 six years ago when we last saw her on our television sets as a full time cast member 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 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. Speaking of Bethenny Frankel, Heather discusses her thoughts on the on-line “hate” Bethenny has received from having certain guests on her Podcast and the advice she has for Bethenny who, maybe, does “know it all”. Heather is happy to discuss her stellar new Podcast, “In My Heart”, no really, it is great, check it out and let's us know the last time she spoke to Diddy and the rest of the Bad Boy Fam. Finally, we discuss Heather’s much publicized lunch with Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer and Eboni Williams’ cryptic Instagram post to “meet” your RHONY Season 13 Cast, which happen to include a picture of Heather. Yes, we got to the bottom of that and will Heather be holding an apple when RHONY Season 13 premieres later this year.

Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson, otherwise know as Alex M, Steps Behind The Rope. Yup, Laguna Beach. One of the granddaddy’s of them all, or as we like to say, one of the best reality shows to ever exist. 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. We discuss the casting process, the reactions from students who were “left out”, the reaction from the school’s administration and what Alex’s parents thought about their daughter joining the cast. 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 and Aaron Carter. Speaking of Aaron Carter, she briefly dated Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Say whaaaat? Being a fan of Reality TV herself, Alex & David discuss just how much reality TV has changed since the early days of MTV. Finally, we answer the age old question, just how “real” was Laguna Beach / The Hills.

(if you have not heard our original chat with Peaches Christ on December 22, 2020, feel free to check it out). We have one word - SHOWGIRLS. Yes, that classic mess of a movie or classic brilliant masterpiece, depending upon which side of the fence you fall. Wait, before we get to that and “You Don’t Nomi”, the documentary that analyzes the making of Showgirls, the movie itself, the public’s reaction, and how it remains a cult classic all these years later, Peaches chats more with us about her life and career that has spanned several decades on the San Francisco, and world, drag scene. Peaches has been producing full blown Midnight Movie drag extravaganzas for years, one of which was Showgirls. The other of which is Purple Rain.

Ladies of London’s Caprice Bourret steps Behind The Rope. Calling from her closet, no really she is in her expansive, white closet, from across the pond, Caprice is here to tell it all. Originally from California, Caprice moved to London when she was in her early 20s. As an aspiring model, she deemed London a good place to launch her career. Within six months of arriving, she was on the cover of every UK magazine, newspaper and so on. 350 magazine covers to be exact, and counting. Even though it all happened so fast and Caprice skyrocketed to the top of the modeling world, she always knew it could be a a flash in the pan, and thus started By Caprice Home Products. Smart Biscuit. When her agents didn’t think she was right to play Maureen in Rent, she queued in line like everyone else and proved them all wrong, landing the part to rave reviews once the show opened in the West End. Ok thats all fine, sweet and good, but lets get to it - LADIES - OF LONDON!!!!! Caprice explains how he show was originally supposed to be a sociological study in the assimilations of Americans living abroad in London and not a dramatic “housewives type” show. Well that isn’t exactly what happened, now is it? Not that we are complaining. Caprice discusses her time on the show, casting, filming, editing, and how the final product was not at all what she expected. We talk about her Ladies of London costars, Caroline Stanbury, Marissa Hermer, Juliet Angus, Noelle Reno, and Juliet Montagu, who she knew before the show, which friendships were “tested” as a result of the show, and who she keeps in touch with today. She was also on The Surreal Life and Celebrity Big Brother, two of the best reality shows, outside of Bravo of course, to ever exist. @capricebourret @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Below Deck’s Izzy Wouters steps Behind The Rope. Current Season Eight Deckhand, Izzy Wouters. Checking in from her home in New Zealand, Izzy is here is tell it all and does not hold back. Izzy chats about how she watched past seasons of Below Deck once she was cast on the hit Bravo show to help her prepare for the experience. Wasting no time, Izzy tells us exactly how she feels about last season's Below Deck Med. Izzy particularly has a lot to say about Captain Sandy, Malia White and Hannah Ferrier and the whole Valium/Drugs On Board debacle. Allright, please let us take a moment to recover from that discussion. As we said, she does - not - hold - back!. Moving on, Izzy chats about how she felt when she realized that Francesca Rubi would be her Chief Stew instead of Kate Chastain. She details what it was like to initially work “inside” for Francesca and how working “outside” for Eddie Lucas differed. Hint: it was better! Izzy breaks down many of situations we have seen play out all season on Below Deck and gives us her opinion on whether they were handled correctly or not. Of course, she also gives us her opinion on her other fellow cast mates Elizabeth Frankini, Rachel Hargrove, James Hough, Ashling Lorger, Sunshine Shane (shout out to Sustainability) and last, but certainly not least, Captain Lee. So many questions for Izzy. So little time. We are only getting started. Part II coming soon but tune in now to this nonstop chat with Miss Izzy Wouters. @izzywouters @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dana Wilkey steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Dana Wilkey. Miss $25,000 sunglasses herself from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. If you haven’t heard, she owns $25,000 sunglasses. We check in with Dana to chat about all she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens on RHOBH as Taylor Armstrong’s “Friend” many seasons ago. We also need to know the behind the scenes of the infamous “Game Night” scene where the tension between The Richards Sisters, Kyle and Kim, and Brandi Glanville came to a much heated boil. Infamous times, we know. Dana chats about RHOBH of yesteryear (Adrienne, Camille, LVP) and gives her opinions on the current cast, including her thoughts on newbies Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kathy Hilton. For everyone who follows Dana on Instagram, and that seems to be all of your, she has been keeping the masses entertained and informed on the changing by the minute divorce and inevitable looming potential criminal and civil legal proceedings of Miss Erika Jayne and Mr. Tom Girardi. As an insider and fellow member of the famed zip code, Dana breaks it all down for us - the good, the bad, the bizarre, and there is a LOT of bizarre. She shares insider knowledge about Erika and Tom which has left The Rope completely speechless!!! We discuss the lawsuit and charges - play by play (let us not forget David is a lawyer) and how this could potentially be worse and bigger than Teresa and Joe Giudice. Of course, we don’t let Dana leave without a full analysis of those $25,000 sunglasses in which she answers all of our many many guilty questions. @wilkey_dana @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Million Dollar Listing New York’s Ronita's Kalra Steps Behind The Rope. You know, little Luis D. Ortiz’ “assistant”, Ronita. Assistant now turned Real Estate Super Agent herself. We here Behind The Rope are obsessed with real estate so welcome Ronita, welcome. We check in with Ronita on the current state of the New York City real estate market. Do we buy or do we sell? So many questions, so little time. Ronita tells us how she went from a past career of stability and perks, at Apple nonetheless, to taking a chance on herself in the shark infested waters of New York Real Estate. She explains how she met Luis on her first day of work at Douglas Elliman (she has just accepted a new position at Compass), how getting on his team wasn't as easy as she thought and how she eventually wore Luis down and secured the coveted position of learning from one of NYC's best. We discuss their ever changing relationship, her breaking away and becoming an agent of her own, Luis' shocking decision to leave not only MDLNY, but also New York City and Real Estate in general, and the status of their relationship today. Knowing them all, we also discuss those other New York Super Agents, Fredrik Eklund, Ryan Serhant, Steve Gold and Tyler Whitman. We discuss the lack of women on the franchise, the important role of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles’ Tracy Tutor, and how MDLNY is, in fact, casting a female for the new upcoming season (any spoilers Ronnie on who that may be? Hmm). Being a huge BravoHolic herself, we talk about some of her favorites, Teresa Giudice, Kyle Richards, and Bethenny Frankel. We also talk about that one time her and Luis went to dinner with Dorinda and John and that one time her and Luis went dinner with Miss Sonja Morgan. Do tell. She does. Then there was the time she ran into Tinsley at the bar at The Marmara Hotel, where Tins was living at the time. Ahh, New York. Finally we talk about those other brillant Real Estate Shows, MDLLA and Selling Sunset, the differences, similarities, and why Real Estate reality shows are a genre we will never tire of. A fun, jam packed episode with Miss Ronnie Kalra. @ronniekalra @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/10velvet (Use code 10velvet for 10 FREE meals, including free shipping.)

Gregory Zarian steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. Born and raised in California, Gregory chats what life was like growing up with a Twin Brother and a Dad as Mayor. That would be anything but dull. Ok, let us fast forward to Gregory’s young adult life. One day, while working at a Nordstrom Department Store, he was asked if he ever wanted to be an actor. He said sure and soon thereafter found himself on the set of "Days of Our Lives”, one of the classic and longest running Soap Operas of our time. Of course, all good things must come to an end and, in this case, that includes Gregory’s role on “Days”. With that role over and done, he was scouted and sent to model internationally in Paris, Milan and Germany for a few years. We could think of a worse way to spend a few years. Eventually modeling brought him back to the states and an unexpected return to Soap Life, this time as fan fav “Julius” on “General Hospital”. In some instances, “fan fav” was an understatement. Gregory and David discuss the rabid fan base General Hospital has and how, in many ways, the level of commitment is similar to that of Housewives Fans. Hey, you didn’t think we were going to have a whole episode without any Real Housewives talk, did you? Let us not forget Eileen Davidson starred on “Days of our Lives” and Gregory lives in Los Angeles, home to many of our favorite RHOBH. From one pop culture aficionado to the next, David and Gregory cover it all. We are only getting started! Tune in now to this fun filled, let us cover everything, Part I sit down with Mr. Gregory Zarian. @gregoryzarian @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope This episode is brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/10velvet (Use code 10velvet for 10 FREE meals, including free shipping.)

Wendy Osefo, fresh off her Freshman season on The Real Housewives of Potomac, steps Behind The Rope. Contract in hand for Season Six, Wendy is here to reflect back upon her just finished Freshman Season and look ahead as to what is to come for The Real Housewives of Potomac Next Season - Season Six. That reunion! Can we talk? What a season it has been for RHOP!!! Where to begin? After a brief chat with Wendy about her Nigerian background, many degrees, yes we all know she is super smart, family life with Eddie and the boys and what originally brought her to the DMV area, we get right into what ya all are here to chat about. Piping’ hot tea from this past season of RHOP. Wendy discusses why she originally got involved with the show, potential reservations in joining, the realities of filming versus her perceived expeditions, and just what she knew and didn’t know joining an already established cast in the Fifth Season of a hit Bravo Housewives show. Of course, we also discuss the physical altercation between Candiace Dillard and Monique Samuels heard and seen around the world answering questions such as what was going through Wendy’s mind before, during and after, was she scared, could she believe what she was seeing, did she think this was “normal” Housewives’ behavior and did she think of resigning considering this was “not what she signed up for”. Wendy also dishes with us on her other cast mates Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Ashley Darby, and last, but certainly not least, Karen Huger. Speaking of The Grand Dame, Wendy chats with us about Karen’s dislike of her and the real reasons why she thinks Karen does not like her - it is not what we see or hear at the reunion. Looking ahead to Season Six, Wendy and David discuss Monique and Candiace, both of whom have contracts in hand, and how they feel next season should, and most probably will, differ from this season past. (Monique Samuels has just announced that despite being offered a contract, she has resigned from RHOP after appearing on the show for four years). Finally, Wendy asks David, who she calls a "Housewives Aficionado”, for advice on Seasons to come to which, of course, he gives his no holds bar answers.

Sarah Fraser from The Sarah Fraser Show Podcast steps Behind The Rope. With her background in radio, it is no wonder Howard Stern and Robin Quivers are her idols. David rapidly agrees and a discussion ensues. Sarah shares all of the guests she has interviewed during her radio career such as Justin Bieber, Rhianna and Ashlee Simpson. Who was naughty and who was nice? Sarah tells all and the list is not at all what one would expect! There was also that one time she almost slept with our buddy Constantine Maroulis (Check out our explosive Two Part Sit Down with Constantine on August 17th, 2020 on Behind The Velvet Rope). Sarah is fascinated by the the fact that David used to work for Martha Stewart and he tells all. Kinda. Living in the DMV area, Sarah is close to all our fav Real Housewives of Potomac. She even had a falling out with Ashley Darby last year after having Candiace Dillard on her Podcast. Fear not, all is well now, but Sarah gives us a play by play of that falling out and road to recovery. She has also filmed certain RHOP episodes such as Monique Samuels’ Live Podcast Tour and Sarah is happy to take us Behind The Rope of that filming. Speaking of Monique Samuels, Sarah and David debate whether she will have a job after this season concludes due to her physical altercation with Candiace. Sarah also discussed why Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is her favorite of the franchise and why Real Housewives of New York City is her least. We also discuss The Real Housewives of DC, how it is difficult to shoot any reality show in political DC and how Rob Lowe almost had a DC based reality show. Finally, Sarah and David bond over being Podcast Hosts, discuss how far the medium has come and what is next up for both of them. An episode not to be missed. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope This episode is brought to you by Firstleaf WINE Club https://bit.ly/3moPu3x Merch Available at - h ttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Peaches Christ steps Behind The Rope. Legendary Drag Performer, Peaches Christ, that is. Born Joshua Grannell, Peaches takes us back to the beginning and what it was like growing up in a suburban Maryland town with a love of all things “alternative” - Horror Films, The Macabre, John Waters, Depeche Mode and The Pet Shop Boys, to name a few. That “alternative” also came with an early Queer Identity, which Peaches combined with her love of film, to enter film school. It was during her senior thesis at this film school that Peaches Christ was born. After film school, Peaches ultimately settled in San Francisco and voila her famed Midnight Mass live movie / drag/ musical extravaganza began. It shortly thereafter became a thing, a big thing, attracting the likes of RuPaul, The Scissor Sisters’ Ana Matronic, Elvira, and even John Waters himself. Speaking of RuPaul, we discuss that one time RuPaul basically announced he was starting a little show called “Drag Race” at one of Peaches’ Midnight Mass live events. Peaches discusses Drag Race and RuPaul, how far both have come from just starting out to this worldwide, for lack of a better word, “mainstream” part of Pop Culture! What about Showgirls, the sh*tstorm cult classic of a movie that was one of Peaches’ main inspirations for the Midnight Mass Movie Extravaganza? Do not worry, we have not forgotten. That is Part II.

Candiace Dillard Bassett steps back Behind The Rope (Part I of our sit down with Candiace aired last Monday Dec 14th, 2020 and has managed to make quite the splash!! Check it out). Hot off the most explosive and shocking season in The Real Housewives of Potomac history, and last night’s out of control reunion, Candiace is here to put closure to THE central storyline of the season and move on from the physical altercation with Monique Samuels, seen around the world. We pick up right where we left off, with Candiace opening up about the event and what was going through her mind before, during and after the event. We discuss the outcry of opinions and in the media, the Bravo blogs and social media and what it was like to live through everyone having an opinion on one of the most traumatic events to ever happen in her life. Of course, we address her lawsuit against Monique Samuels, Monique’s countersuit and what went on off camera to result in both suits being dismissed by the courts. Breaking the fourth wall, we discuss Bravo’s involvement, what, if anything, could have been done differently and what measures can or should be taken to prevent something like this from happening again in the BravoVerse.Candiace discusses the support she felt from cast mates Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon and Wendy Osefo throughout this very tough season for her. She also discuss her, more complicated, “relationships” with Karen Huger and Ashley Darby and the status of those friendships today. Candiace answers many of the “big questions” such as, “are you really not going to return to RHOP if Monique is not let go” and “would you have signed up for the show several years knowing this was coming” and “has the good really outweighed the bad”. We discuss how this may be one of Candiace’s last long form interviews on the subject and how, with the reunion over, it is time for closure. On that note, a lighter note, we discuss Candiace the Singer / Songwriter (album coming soon, fingers crossed tour too, and will she one day be performing her hits in the WWHL Clubhouse?), Candiace the Actress (starting alongside Tia Mowry in “Family Reunion” on Netflix and “Christmas Lottery” on BET) and Candiace the entrepreneur (Prima Hair Collection is alive and well).

Lady Bunny is an Icon of a Drag Queen, NYC Nightclub DJ, Recording Artist, Actor and so much more. What has Bunny not done?

Below Deck’s Sustainable Shane Coopersmith steps Behind The Rope. Current Season Eight Deckhand, that is. Or should we say just terminated Season Eight Deckhand. No shade, we loved our chat with Shane. Those are just the facts. Shane chats about how he was cast, his self admitted lack of real world yachting industry experience, and being thrown on board, almost literally, with no prior training by Bravo to be a part of this Season Eight of Below Deck. Shane chats about the challenges of the actual job he was hired to do with no real world experience versus the challenges of the ever present Bravo cameras to make a good TV show. He chats about how he planned to use the Below Deck platform to spread the word about sustainability, he is “Sustainable Shane” after all, and how he feels about the fact that the majority of sustainable footage filmed, paper straws aside, ended up on the cutting room floor. Speaking about Below Deck footage, Shane explains the truth about the several scenes the audience saw which led to his termination and details what we did not see as viewers surrounding those “heavily edited” scenes. Of course, we address his recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) where he decided to chat about sustainability rather than answer all of Andy Cohen’s questions surrounding current season Below Deck Drama. Shane explains what was going through his mind during this appearance and what happened off air during comercial breaks. Finally, Shane responds to both Kate Chastain and Andy Cohen’s comments earlier this week regarding this WWHL appearance and their perception of just how real is his commitment to the growing problem of sustainability in today’s society. Of course, we chat about relationships with current cast members Elizabeth, James, Eddie, Francesca, Ash, Izzy, Rachel and last, but certainly not least, Captain Lee. @sustainable.shane @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Peggy Zabakolas, from Netflix’s Million Dollar Beach House, steps Behind The Rope. First things first, Peggy fills us in on all things Real Estate in both The Hamptons and New York City - the current state of the market, where you can get the best deals, and what are her favorite parts of each location. Let us start at the beginning. Peggy began working at Nest Seekers, while still in Law School, for a broker by the name of Ryan Serhant. You may have heard of him. Her first day on the job was the Premier Party for Season One, Episode One of Million Dollar Listing New York. Peggy discusses what it was like to work for Ryan back in the day, what it was like to film Million Dollar Listing New York, and what she thinks of Ryan’s growth and success throughout the years as a result of the show. Peggy also knows and discusses those other MDLNY agents Fredrik Eklund, Steve Gold and Luis D. Ortiz. Peggy explains how she is one of the only brokers to split her time between New York City and The Hamptons and how that led to her being cast as one of the five main agents on Million Dollar Beach House. We talk about how she was cast, what the filming process was like and how she felt she was portrayed once she watched the series back on Netflix. We also talk about her colleagues and costars Michael, JB, Noel and Jimmy and what the status of each of those relationships is like today. Peggy opens up about her motivations for joining the cast of Million Dollar Beach House, the biggest misconception about her from the show, how life changed overnight as a result of the show, how the show has helped her booming Real Estate career and what she hopes to further gain as a result of the show's success. Of course, we cannot help but compare Million Dollar Beach House to its left coast compadre, Selling Sunset. We discuss that show as well as her other Reality TV love, The Real Housewives. Yes The Hamptons is a small place. She has run into / seen LuAnn deLesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer. Of course, we discuss. Tune in now for this fun filled chat with Peggy Zabakolas from Netflix’ Million Dollar Beach House. @peggy__z @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Candiace Dillard Bassett steps Behind The Rope. What a season she has just had on The Real Housewives of Potomac. Where to begin? We leave no stone left unturned in our discussion with Candiace regarding the physical altercation with Monique Samuels, which was THE central storyline seen this past season on RHOP. We go behind the cameras to discuss what was going through Candiace’s mind before, during and after the “hair drag” watched around the world. We discuss the emotions associated with the event, there are a wide range, and what the atmosphere was like on the set of RHOP for the rest of the season once this occurred. Candiace discusses the RHOP reunion, what we have already seen and can expect to see over the remaining weeks, and the closure she felt, once it was over, from the most drama filled season in the history of RHOP. Breaking the fourth wall, we discuss Bravo’s involvement, what, if anything, could have been done differently and what measures can or should be taken tp prevent something like this from happening again in the BravoVerse. As Candiace reflects back, we discuss how she feels now that she is on the other side of the season and what we can expect as the RHOP Reunion forges on. We also get a rare look into Candiace’s life growing up in the ATL, being a “Pageant Girl”, her current pursuit of her MBA at Howard University, and meeting Chris Bassett. Finally, being a fellow Pop Culture and TV junkie, (yes reality is included and yes she watched RHOP before being on it) Candiace reveals her love of all things Shonda Rhimes and bonds with David over Scandal, one of the best TV shows to ever exist. Kids, we are just getting started. After all, this is only Part I of our two part sit down with Candiace Dillard. @candeegal09 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - h ttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Voice’s Ryan Gallagher steps Behind The Rope. Ryan is having a major moment right now having wowed the judges with a leave them speechless audition on the top NBC hit show, “The Voice”. An audition which had judges Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton turning around their chairs to see the man behind the soulful operatic voice. The man is Ryan Gallagher, a classically trained vocalist who got his start in the music industry singing backup for world renowned singer Josh Groban. Speaking of music icons, Ryan has also shared the stage with the likes of Carrie Underwood and Michael Bolton. Of course, we needed to hear about that they are really like. We also needed to hear all about the behind the scenes inner workings of “The Voice” and real truths about their famed judges Kelly Clarkson, whose team he ultimately ended up on (good choice, Ryan!), Blake Shelton, John Legend and last, but certainly not least, Gwen Stefani. We also needed to hear all about the filing process, eliminations and guest judges such as Usher. If you think you recognize Ryan’s name it could be because he was also a contestant on “American Idol” in the past. It could also be because he was a cast member on the hit MTV show, “Ex On The Beach”. We discuss reality TV with Ryan, his current place in “The Voice” competition and what would happen, as we get down to the final weeks, if he really won. (He has since been removed from the competition due to violation of Covid Protocols - listen closely as we discuss Covid herein).

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, Judy F’ing Gold! Originally from New Jersey (we knew we liked her for a reason), Judy checks in from her house in Provincetown, Massachusetts where she is quarantining with her wife Elysa and fur baby. Missing New York City dearly, Judy and David discuss how New York has changed over the past few months, what they love about the City and why it will always, ultimately, be home. Judy and David also bond over both being bullied in High School and how that has helped shape them into the funny successful people they are today. Well, Judy is, at the very least! Judy takes us back to the beginning, what life was like growing up a tall gay woman in a suburban town and where she found and finds comedic inspiration, her mom, politics, the LGBTQIA community. Judy confides that she still feels luck to be able to ride the subway, pre covid, downtown from her Upper West Side home with the same notepad she used when she was starting out to perform gigs. She loves comedy and she loves her job. All of this is discussed in Judy’s new book, “Yes, I Can Say That: When They Come for the Comedians, We Are All in Trouble”. Judy also discusses the origins, evolution and current state of comedy in this very same book. If you couldn’t tell from the name, the book is a product of “Cancel Culture” and the over the top censorship that we all seem to be facing today. We had to ask Judy 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 what it was like to be an out gay woman back “in the day” before it was en vogue. Of course, we 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, it really is a funny story. Finally, we discuss Judy’s Number One Comedic Inspiration, Miss Joan Rivers, the Icon herself. We bond over Melissa Rivers’ recent appearance on “Behind The Velvet Rope” and discuss how Joan would handle “Cancel Culture” and think of the world we are living in today. Get ready to laugh people.

Miz Cracker steps Behind The Rope. Drag Race Season 10 Contestant and Runner Up (damn you Shea Couleé. We kid, we kid) for All Stars Season 5, Miz Cracker is here to dish, schmooze and share. Both being New Yorkers, David and Cracker bond over New York City nightlife, food and people. Falling into drag though a chance meeting with Drag Mother, Bob The Drag Queen, Miz Cracker shares her early beginnings in drag - the good, the bad, the other. Her early beginnings, just to be clear, were at a time before Drag Race was the “mainstream” juggernaut that it is today. She discusses her own involvement in Drag Race - how she were cast, why she was not ready for the show prior to Season 10, what filming was like, the other queens, the involvement of RuPaul, her elimination in Season 10 and ultimate placement as Runner Up in All Stars Season Five. On a larger note, Miz Cracker shares her thoughts on how Drag Race has changed the industry, the business side of drag, and how she has morphed from a Baby Drag Queen to the Woman we see before us here today. We discuss those Drag Competitions, the true difficulty of Drag Race, and the Power of TV and being one of "RuPaul’s Girls”. Miz Cracker opens up about how she has changed since Drag Race and has dealt with being a Queen in the public eye. Miz Cracker, as humble as she is, has been one busy queen since Drag Race Season 5 ended - world tours with her one woman shows, booming YouTube channel, People’s Choice Awards “Competition. What hasn’t Miz Cracker done? She is not slowing down anytime soon. Miz Cracker discusses her brilliant “She’s A Woman” Podcast, her recent appearance on Hulu’s original new series “Eater’s Guide To The World”, a food travel show hosted by Maya Rudolph, and her preparations for a blockbuster 2021 Comedy Tour, when the world opens, “She’s A Woman”. Last but least, we talk about that one time she met Meryl Streep. OMG. Say what? Tune in now if you are ready to laugh with the one and only Miz Cracker. @miz_cracker @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This Episode is brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Duke Cannon https://www.dukecannon.com - available in the men’s grooming section of Target Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard from Bravo’s "The People’s Couch" step Behind The Rope. Julie and Brandy actually have a podcast of their own, Dumb Gay Politics. It brings their own brand of humor to the political world for political beginners who don’t know too much. They talk about political figures as if they were Real Housewives. Sounds perfect to us. After bonding over being fellow Podcast Hosts, we get into how Julie and Brandy met, on a Rosie O’Donnell Gay Cruise. Well thats not too stereotypical, is it? Cheyenne Jackson makes a guest appearance. Unfortunately, the next Rosie cruise they took together didn’t end well. Brandy ended up getting kicked off the ship for reasons which we cannot put into writing (listen in!). Julie, Brandy and David bond over their love of Big Brother and all things Julie Chen. We also discuss their comedic background, which involves Julie’s guest appearance on Happy Endings! Of course, the conversation quickly turns to all things Housewives. Julie and Brandy met The Real Housewives of Miami’s Lea Black as a result of being on The People’s Couch. This meeting resulted in a friendship, a friendship which includes going to her parties when she is in town at her LA House. One of those parties was attended by Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis, Gage Edward, and Jenni Pulos. Another Lea Black party they attended was also attended by RHOC’s Kelly Dodd. Yes they heard a lot of “off the record” talk from the Flipping Out stars, as well as from Lea Black and Kelly Dodd. Oh really, do tell? They do. Julie and Brandi discuss how they got cast on “The People’s Couch”, what the interview process was like, and how they reacted once they realized the network for the People’s Couch was actually Bravo. Hint, F’ing excited. Finally, we discuss their People’s Couch cast mate, Miss Destiny Rose from Shahs of Sunset and their everyday obsession with Reza and MJ. @mrjuliegoldman @peeweethepeoplescouch @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Duke Cannon https://www.dukecannon.com available in the men’s grooming section of Target Brought to you by Better Help https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Below Deck’s Bruno Duarte steps Behind The Rope. Bruno is here to - TELL - IT - ALL! Checking in from the home he shares with his Fiancé in France, Bruno wastes no time in telling us EXACLY what filming with Below Deck vets Kate Chastain and Captain Lee was like during Season Five of the hit Bravo TV Show. Hint, it isn’t too good. Holding nothing back and being completely honest, Bruno gives us a play by play of specific situations where he was not treated so kindly by both on camera as well as when the cameras weren’t rolling. He provides several examples which, quite frankly, left us completely agape and speechless. Speechless, which does not happen too often here Behind The Rope. Bruno explains how The Real World of Yachting differs from what we see on Below Deck each week as the drama plays out and the real perception of Below Deck, Captains Lee and Sandy, Kate Chastain and Hannah Ferrier in the actual working yachting industry. He also discussed “producer involvement” in filming the show and just how “real” the situations we see are versus what is contrived to make “good television”. On a lighter note, being from Portugal and having lived there most of his life, we HAD to ask what it was like when Queen Madonna decided to take up residence there and turn the country upside down. OMG. Tune in for Part One of our sit down with the one and only Bruno Duarte from Below Deck. @bruknowsfit @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Duke Cannon https://www.dukecannon.com available in the men’s grooming section of Target Brought to you by Better Help https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vicky Vox steps 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.

The Real Housewives of Orange County's Lynne Curtain Steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from beautiful and sunny Orange Country, Lynne is here for some fun. Some fun and to tell it all. Let us start at the beginning. 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 also discuss how Lynne handled her newfound fame and the ramifications it had on her personal life. 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 Stephanie Hollman. It is the OC after all, so we had to get Lynne’s takes on her “friendships” with Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow. We couldn’t resist asking for #tea when we learned that her daughters knew some of the cast of Laguna Beach. It really is a small world. We discuss the departure of Vicki and Tamra and the current casting choices. Finally, no chat with Lynne Curtin would ever be complete without a discussion of her iconic, classic, one of a kind "Lynne Curtin Cuffs".

Ryan Cabrera steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Ryan Cabrera. Brilliant famed musician, singer, songwriter whose debut album “Take It All Away” spawned the Top 15 mega hit “On The Way Down”, a song forever stuck in our minds, in a good way! Let us start at the beginning. 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 just got engaged to the love of his life, WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss. Ryan is kind enough to share all the details about how they met, got engaged, and the upcoming extravaganza. Wait, isn’t this chat supposed to be about Ryan’s music? He has a stellar new song dropping this week “Overthinking” with Superstar Indie Artist Tara Hack.

Southern Charm’s Landon Clements steps back Behind The Rope. Welcome back. There is a LOT going on this current season on Southern Charm and who better than to dish current Season Southern Charm than someone who is not only real life friends with the current cast, but someone who has been on the show herself. Enter Landon Clements. Checking in from her home in Los Angeles CA, Landon is taking a break from closing those Real Estate deals to chat about all her friends back home in Charleston, South Carolina. First we chat with Landon about who we do not see this season on Southern Charm - the max exodus of Series’ Regular Women - Cam, Naomi, Chelsea and Eliza. Landon discusses the real circumstances surrounding Cameran Eubanks’ departure and whether or not it truly had to do with those rumors Kathryn Dennis started about Cameran’s husband Jason, who has not appeared on the show. Turning our attention to newbies, we discuss Leva and Lamar, the racial diversity they brought to the show, and answer the question just how much was this racial diversity needed on a show like Southern Charm? We also discuss newbie hottie John Pringle. Landon discusses what he is like in real life, his true ties to the group and how she thinks he is doing on the show. Of course, we also discuss his interest in Austen’s girlfriend Madison LeCroy and her noted absence from John’s “in real life” Birthday party in Charleston, South Carolina that Landon attended last month during a quick trip home. Say what??? Landon also discusses Austen and Madison, their current relationship and whether they have what it takes to “go the distance”. We also discuss other new couple, Shep and Taylor, we did not see this one coming, who just visited Landon in Los Angeles for a fun weekend. Do tell. She does. Landon gives us all her predictions for Southern Charm’s most famous bachelors Craig, Austen and Shep, chats updates about Miss Patricia, and lets us know when she last spoke to Whitney and Thomas. Finally, we discuss Kathryn - her “inappropriate” use of the Monkey Emoji earlier this year which went viral, how she still has a job when the likes of Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have been terminated, and just how all of this is going to play out before our very eyes over the next few weeks on Southern Charm. @alandonclements @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by Duke Cannon.

Christi Lukasiak steps Behind The Rope. 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. David and Christi bond at how busy they have been in quarantine. Who knew. Ok let's start at the beginning. Christi lets us know that yes, she got Chloe into dance at age 2. She just called the local dance studio, spoke to a woman, yes it was Abby Lee Miller, and said, "hey, I have someone to enroll." Chloe took to it right away, it was truly organic and the rest is history. Christi gives us the behind the scenes of what the dance studio was really like before the origins of Dance Moms. 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. Umm, yea that is an understatement. She explains how it was to go from “regular dance class to dance class with cameras. 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. She remembers how it felt the first time she came to NYC and saw her and Chloe plastered on a Billboard in Times Square, where the girls were mobbed on the streets and everyone wanted their picture. Chloe is in college now, doing well and Christi lets us know what Chloe is up to. 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. Finally we get into the business that Christi birthed in quarantine, Adulting 101.

Below Deck’s EJ Jansen steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from his home in Victoria, Canada, EJ is here to tell it all. Let us start at the beginning. EJ knew our fearless leader Captain Lee for several years before Lee appeared on our TV sets on the hit Bravo show. EJ talks about how he met Captain Lee and how that working relationship and friendship began. He explains how he got involved with Below Deck, yes it was because of Captain Lee and an unexpected source, Jay Z, yes Jay Z, what filming the show was like and just how “real” is Below Deck. EJ discusses his first impressions of Kate Chastain, how those impressions changed over the course of the season, and what the status of their relationship is like today. He discusses the level of actual “work” Kate did in her job as Chief Stew during their season together versus being treated like a reality television personality filming one of Bravo’s top rated TV shows. EJ analyzes why he thinks Below Deck is one of the highest rated Bravo shows of all time and sheds light onto just how hard that show is to film logistically. EJ shares stories of real life charters with Billionaires, Millionaires and famous faces such as Paris Hilton and Dennis Rodman. He also explains the power boat owners have to demand the staff act and look a certain way and just how behind the times the yachting industry may be in terms of, not only the “me too” movement but also diversity and inclusion. Finally, amid Covid, EJ provides a ground breaking way to film the next seasons of Below Deck / Below Deck Med, an idea we deem brilliant that you must listen to to believe!!

Heather Marianna from Bravo’s “Tour Group” Steps Behind The Rope. What? You don’t remember that show? Neither does Heather. Ok she does, she has just tried to block it out of her mind. We discuss how she showed up for “Tour Group” expecting a bunch of hot young singles and, well, that isn’t quite what she got. She discusses what happens when you show up to film a reality TV show for Bravo and just don’t feel like filming it. Hint: Producers and Bravo don’t take lightly to such things. We also talk about Heather’s recent appearances on 90 Day Fiancé. Do tell. She does. Heather knows a thing to two about having a fiancé. She has been engaged thirteen, yes, that is correct, thirteen times. Besides starting on several reality TV shows, Heather is a reality TV junkie and also knows many of our favorite Housewives. We discuss it all RHOBH, RHONY, RHOC. Speaking of RHOC, Heather is very good friends with Jesus Jugs herself, Miss Alexis Bellino. Don’t let Heather’s playful attitude fool you though. She is CEO and Boss B of Beauty Kitchen, an all natural beauty line which is the “go too” product for all of our favs such as Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.

Love & Hip Hop’s Sukihana steps Behind The Rope. Don’t judge this book by its cover, Sukihana is really smart, something she says is "not assumed" and the biggest misconception about her upon first glance. Actually, 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. She discusses how she handles social media trolls and how she is able to maintain that positive attitude of hers on a daily basis. 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? In a nutshell, a lot as she is one busy woman!!

Trinity “The Tuck” Taylor steps Behind The Rope. We are not worthy. Checking in from her home in Orlando, Florida, Trinity stops by to chat about all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens on RuPaul’s Drag Race (Season 9, All Stars Season 4). Originally from a small town outside Birmingham, Alabama, Trinity entered a drag competition at a local bar when she found out you could win money. She entered and lost. After two more tries she won the competition, kept winning week after week and was eventually asked to not enter in order to give others a chance to win. Self taught hair, makeup, clothes, Trinity took to drag like a moth to a flame. Trinity discusses the biggest misconceptions and best things about the profession, the path one takes to make a career out of drag and the business side of it all. Flash forward to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 where Trinity found herself a contestant in the most coveted of all races. Trinity discusses filming, the competitions, the lip synchs and other behind the scenes tidbits from being a Drag Race contestant. We also discuss fellow contestants such as Sasha Velour, Peppermint, and Shea Coulee. Of course we also discuss RuPaul, what meeting RuPaul like for the first time was like and the differences between the RuPaul we see on camera versus the man behind the drag. Trinity dishes on those other Drag Race Judges Carson Kressley, Michelle Visage and Ross Matthews. Finally, we discuss some of Drag Race’s infamous Guests Judges such as Lady Gaga and Meghan Trainor. Oh yea, there is also that thing that happened, she won All Stars Season Four. We discuss what that was like, did she ever expect it, and what was it like to share the title with Monet X.

Elizabeth explains how she was cast as one of this season's Stews, how the Below Deck Charters differ from Real World Charters, the most high maintenance guests she has ever had, both on and off camera, the biggest tip she has ever received, and what she likes and dislikes most about the job of Yachtie Stew.

Don Gunvalson and Lee Radziwill step Behind The Rope. Ok, it is Jordan and Justin Meyers, the famous, or as some say infamous, Brothers behind these two well known Twitter Monikers. First off, we discuss how these Brothers decided to become Twitter sensations in the Housewives world. We say sensations, but some say Blocked By. In fact, as of air date, Don Gunvalson and Lee Radziwill are blocked by several Housewives including, but not limited to, Kyle Richards, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Kelly Dodd. Not a bad record. Of course, we also discuss what Vicki Gunvalson and Carole Radziwill had to say when they contacted the boys. We can only imagine. These two boys are here here to bring the shade. We discuss every franchise: RHOBH (Who really lives in Beverly Hills and who doesn’t, we told you these boys are shady); RHONY (Cast shake ups, anyone); RHOP (This epic Season 5 and the Monique / Candiace physical altercation); RHOA (Give Marlo a Peach and Nene’s ongoing contract issues); RHONJ (David’s IRL Friends); RHOC (How does one get blocked by more than half the current cast); RHOD (How will the franchise be without LeeAnne Locken?); RHOSL (Coming Soon). Their tweets actually caused a major feud at a RHONY reunion past between Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps. Then there was the time that the Lee Radziwill Twitter account was mentioned on Odd Mom Out by Abby Elliot’s Character. Also, have you seen their twitter this past week when PK, yes our friend PK, came for them for making a comment about our beloved Dorit NOT knowing this was not the real Don Gunvalson & Lee Radziwill. We just cannot!!! These are THE Twitter Accounts that have all the Housewives’ attention, and for good reason!

Sean Kanan steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. Sean moved to LA many years ago to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. His first big break came in 1989 when he was cast in The Karate Kid Part III. The following year he starred on the Fox television series “The Outsiders”. As brilliant a show as that was, it was cancelled way too soon which led to an audition for a little show known as General Hospital. Sean got the job to play the infamous A.J. Quartermaine and the rest is history. Sean is kind enough to entertain our many questions about his General Hospital Co-Stars Ricky Martin, Vanessa Marcil, and Antonio Sabato Jr. He also discusses some of his other “Soap Opera” friends such as Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson. Sean discusses the differences between being on General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless. He should know as he has had starring roles on them all. One of the roles he is most proud of is his current role in Studio City, a stellar Emmy Award Winning Amazon Prime Dramedy that he also created and spent many years trying to get off the ground. A Daytime Soap Show within a show, Sean created an alternate world he knows everything about getting the help of some of his soap friends such as Tristan Rogers. Finally, Sean, author of “The Modern Gentleman” and “Success Factor X”, has a third book coming out soon and if it is anything like the first two, it will be a must read. @sean.kanan @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 This episode is brought to you by http:// w ww.eliterapidfatloss.com Menton David Yontef & Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast when contacting See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We discuss how Dr. Cat became involved with the show, what filming and casting were like, her colleagues Dr. Killeen, Dr. Lee, Dr. Quardt, and what watching herself back on TV with her husband and daughter is like each week as the show now airs. We also pay homage to that other E Plastic Surgery Show, Botched, and the Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. Dr. Cat explains the role social media plays in the world of plastic surgery today with her 1.2 Million Instagram Followers. Finally, on a larger note, we discuss the fact that the plastic surgery industry is still comprised of only 15% female doctors, many of the stereotypes and “a woman can't” that Dr. Cat has heard throughout her career and why an all female version of Dr. 90210 was a necessity to make.

Alexandra lets us know the challenges of making a behind the scenes film while following Paris around the world to mass chaos and mayhem from Paris’ “Little Hiltons”.

Ok, Jason stopped by to discuss the amazing advocacy work he uses his platform for in order to help those who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction, and feelings of inadequacy. Jason’s work serves as a resource to help those who don't know where to begin, or turn, to get the help they need in order to realize recovery is possible and life is absolutely worth living. Of course, we also discuss those three aforementioned hot MTV “reality” shows. 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 exacerabted, and he quickly spiralled 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 also discuss his involvement in LC forever being known as the girl who didn't go to Paris. Of course, we needed to know all about The Hills: New Beginnings - his wife Ashley's involvement, Speidi, Brody Jenner and of course last, but certainly not least, Queen Mischa Barton. Finally, Jason shares the status of filming for Season Two (RIP Mischa) and when we can expect this classic reality king to appear back on our beloved TV sets.

Kathryn Edwards continues our chat regarding this past season of RHOBH and the Denise / Teddi exits. (Part I aired October 1st, 2020). Kathryn wastes no time in bringing up the fallout of a true many decade long friendship between Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards. We discuss what happens when making a great TV show is more important to a Housewife than a real life friendship and is it worth it? This leads to a discussion of which of the RHOBH cast are real life friends versus working colleagues. Speaking of Denise, we bring up her “hook up” with Brandi Glanville and discuss whether Kathryn thinks that really happened, why Brandi - considering her past track record of being a “tell all", the involvement of Producers to tell that “story”, the aftermath of what we saw unfold all season on RHOBH, and whether Brandi deserves a diamond. We dive into deeper issues such as the continued pressure by Producers to always bring the drama and storyline in fear of losing your job and corresponding big paycheck. Kathryn also discusses how nothing is off limits if you sign up for a reality show and how all the skeletons will ultimately come out of the closet. Kathryn discusses several actresses who she personally knows as potential diamond holders for next season - Nicolette Sheridan, Vivica A. Fox, Heather Locklear, Jennie Garth LaToya Jackson - as well as the rumored favored Kathy Hilton, and predicts the likelihood of each of those happening and how successful each would be in the “role”. Kathryn also discusses how she feels Garcelle will fare in her sophomore season sans Denise and discusses Denise's decision to walk away after just two seasons. Finally, we get into the Reunion, the good, the bad, the other bad and discuss how each of the women handled themselves during it.

Perez talks about some of the biggest misconceptions about himself and what it is like to be hated, his words, not ours, by so many.

A few weeks ago (on September 15th, 2020) we sat down with one of Sonja Morgan's Ex-Interns, Meghan Hubert. We talked about what it is like to work as one of Miss Morgan's interns, a highly sought after coveted position in our most Bravo of Worlds. Although David and Meghan, had a great chat about the iconic position of Intern, Sonja Morgan, not everyone enjoyed the chat as much as the Behind The Velvet Rope listeners. One such person was Sonja. Meghan is back to talk about the fallout from that sit down. Plus, we discuss these just concluded Reunions / Seasons of RHONY and RHOBH, the good, the bad, the other. All this plus more on our latest just released Patreon episode out this weekend. Link Below: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We sat down with Kathryn Edwards a few weeks back for an exclusive, two part, tell all interview (Part I 9/9/20; Part II 9/16/20). That interview caused a Twitter frenzy involving both Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer. Kathryn stops by to chat about the aftermath of that interview and the resulting twitter frenzy. Kathryn stands by what she said and talks about her current relationships with LVP, Erika, Kyle, Camille and the rest of our favorite RHOBH. Hey Kathryn, while we have you, wanna chat about this past season of RHOBH? She does. We react to the news of Teddi Mellencamp being let go, discuss why it is so hard for most Housewives to admit they were terminated and discuss Kathryn’s thoughts on Teddi, answering the question, was she really as “ boring” as the general public thinks? Kathryn also discusses her thoughts on newbies Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke. We dissect who had a good season and who had a rough season amongst Dorit, Rinna, Kyle, and Erika and who would be the next on the chopping block if additional cuts were to be made. Speaking of Rinna, Kathryn explains how the Rinna she now sees on RHOBH is not the Rinna she has known for many many years leading to a larger conversation of what happens when real life and “the show” lines start to blur. On a larger scale, David and Kathryn discuss what it takes to make a good Housewife, how “Career Housewives” all start to self produce, and what happens when the show becomes more important than real world happiness. These topics get Kathryn to reflect on her own short time on the show, does she think she herself was a good Housewife? Kathryn also opens up about the PTSD she felt once off the show due to the feeling of cameras - there were none - always watching her and whether she would ever go back - if you listened to our first two chats - well - you know the answer to this. @katedwards8 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by "Going to Bed With Garcelle" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-to-bed-with-garcelle/id1509776802 Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Blatantly absent from the just aired #RHONY reunion, Elyse Slaine breaks her silence here today. Elyse tells all about the evolution of her friendship with Ramona which began way before this current season of The Real Housewives of New York. She finally sets the record straight with exactly how she was “brought” onto the show and how “welcome” she felt from the other RHONY women (hint: not so much). Elyse details her past relationships with Sonja, Dorinda, and LuAnne and gives specific examples to debunk the constant claim that Ramona “introduced” her to this group. Elyse explains the on and OFF camera events which she believes led to the beginning of the end of her friendship with The Singer Stinger during the past year. Elyse explains what filming and real life - her and Ramona share the same “friend group” - on the Upper East Side and The Hamptons was like once Ramona decided to break up with her. Elyse provided a specific timeline of events to help us understand just what went down. The more she talked, the more questions The Rope had.

He ran from this gift, being four, scared AF and not realizing what “seeing people” meant. Years later in High School he went with friends to see a medium.

Sarah McSweeney steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Sister of The Real Housewives of New York City’s Leah McSweeney. That Sarah McSweeney. As seen this past season alongside her sister on Season 12 of RHONY. Checking in from her parent’s home in gorgeous Connecticut, Sarah takes time off from being a mom to chat with The Rope. Originally from Chelsea, NYC (yea Chelsea!!), Sarah fell into modeling at a very young age while working various food and restaurant jobs in the heart of downtown New York City. Sarah opens up about her initial reaction to sister Leah being cast on the hit Bravo show and what it was like to watch Leah each week, and her own guest appearances, this past season. We discuss how she truly feels about Leah's colleagues Dorinda, Luann, Sonja, and last, but certainly not least, Ramona. Of course we discuss that fateful Newport, Rhode Island weekend and how the girls treated her in person - the bad, the good and the bad. We dive deep into what watching the “night before” was like compared to how Leah described it to her IRL. On a larger scale, both being New Yorkers, Sarah and David discuss how NYC is much more than a 5 block radius on the Upper East Side and whether it is time to mix things up regarding the cast to represent a more accurate representation of what NYC is really all about. Sarah discusses her relationship with sister Leah and pays homage Tinsley Mortimer and Elyse Slaine, let us not forget they were part of this past season as well. Finally, we discuss Sarah’s other Bravo favorites Bethenny Frankel, Kate Chastain, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga as well as just how wonderful a place Spa 88 really is.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards steps back Behind The Rope (Part I of our sit down with Kathryn aired September 9th, 2020). Kathryn gets right into it by talking about her first day of filming when, within minutes, Rinna brought up her past ties to OJ. Kathryn opens up about what we saw on RHOBH regarding her relationships with Kyle Richards and Faye Resnick versus the status of those relationships in the real world. She also explains how those past relationships probably affected her on-screen friendships and her time on RHOBH. Kathryn opens up about how she would have done things differently if she were to go back and what those things are. She gives us her opinion on who she thinks is authentic from RHOBH casts past and present and who “acts” for the cameras. We discuss what, if anything, is too private to show on a reality show and discuss the current season of RHOBH. Kathryn discusses whether she thinks Denise really hooked up with Brandi Glanville and what she has heard from being “on the scene” in Beverly Hills. Finally we discuss that fateful night when she was on WWHL and Andy Cohen asked her, point blank, did OJ do it? Kathryn explains the details of that night, how she felt as a result of that question and what her current relationship with Andy Cohen is like today.

Sonja Morgan's Intern. One of Sonjas Interns. Steps. Behind. The. Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Residing in Brooklyn, New York, Meghan is a digital marketing and social media guru in her day job. Ok enough of that. Her thesis in college was on "fan culture” and how social media has changed the dynamic between the fan and the celebrity. Um, hello, we just wrote a whole book on that (Summer 2021!). Enough about us. Let's focus on Meghan. Sonja Morgan's intern. Meghan talks about how she got the idea to apply for this most coveted position. Meghan talks about the application process. Meghan talks about the interview. Ok, let us take a breath and refresh from all this excitement. Next we chat, in detail, about Meghan's first day on the job. OMG! Next, we discuss her fellow interns. Yes, of course we discuss Pickles. Pickles, Pickles, Pickles. No discussion as an intern would be complete without discussing the iconic townhouse and iconic toaster! Full details provided, of course. 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, Heather, 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.

DailyMailTV’s Senior News Correspondent, Alicia Quarles, steps Behind The Rope. Of course, we address those Real Housewives of New York rumors. Oh c’mon, you know those rumors you have seen all over the internet about Alicia possibly joining the cast of RHONY next season. She is friends with them all from RHONY’s current cast LuAnn, Sonja, Ramona and casts’ past, Bethenny Frankel and Tinsley Mortimer and is kind enough to entertain our many questions. We also address Dorinda’s exit and David explains why he hopes those RHONY rumors are really true for Alicia. Alicia, who always knew from a young age journalism was her true calling, ended up in New York City at a young age to pursue her dreams. As a Senior News Correspondent, we dish on the new season of DailyMailTV and new host Thomas Roberts. We address one of the hottest topics of the month (Other than Alicia’s RHONY cast rumors, of course), the end of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Alicia’s take on the matter seeing as she has interviewed the famous family before. Speaking of interviews, Alicia has interviewed them all and we get her hot takes on some of our favs: Queen Madonna, Beyonce, JLo, Martha Stewart, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Lenny Kravitz and Penelope Cruz, to name a few. We discuss the differences between interviewing “Movie Stars” and “Reality Stars” and the challenges and benefits of working in the entertainment industry. Being a true fashion lover, we discuss that one time Alicia wore that same ROTATE “Pink Dress” that Rinna and Erika Jayne love so much (Who wore it best?) and what it is like to cover the Met Ball, among other Awards Show's Red Carpets. Tune in now for this fun time and see, do we finally answer those RHONY rumors? @alicialquarles @dailymailtv @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gizelle Bryant steps Behind The Rope. The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 5 alive and well. We discuss it all!!!! Gizelle fills us in on how the season is going for her, her daughters and Pastor Bryant. Gizelle wastes no time in also discussing how she thinks her co-stars are handling this season as well - Robyn Dixon and her potential upcoming nuptials to Juan, Ashley’s motherhood, Wendy, welcome to the DMV. Michael Darby and his role as an honorary housewife. We also discuss her on again, off again friendship with The Grand Dame, Miss Karen Huger, and the status of that friendship today. Speaking of Karen Huger, we analyze the softer side we get to see this season via her marriage with Ray and discuss just why does Karen not like newbie Wendy. No discussion of Karen would be complete without a deep dive into the origin of The Grand Dame moniker, and the answer is not what you would expect, but hey, a shout out from Rihanna ain’t too bad. Of course we chat about the Candiace Monique Drama at the epicenter of this season, how the cast reacted to the physical altercation and how it has led to larger life discussions such as the portrayal of African American women on television. We also talk about why after 5 seasons Potomac is finally getting the respect it deserves. In other Bravo news, Gizelle chats about Dorinda's RHONY exit and what it was like to meet fellow Bravolebries such as Lala, Reza, Gigi and Brandi Redmond at BravoCon. Finally, seeing as David was at that infamous party in The Hamptons where Ramona asked Gizelle to leave the picture, they needed to bond over that and ask the age old question, will Gizelle ever squash her beef with Ramona?

Kathryn discusses how she was cast for Season Six of RHOBH and who she knew before the show. We discuss RHOBH Housewives past - Yolanda Hadid and Eden Sassoon and present such as Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne.

Of course, we also discuss whether Denise really hooked up with Brandi Glanville and what Kathryn knows from being “on the scene” in Beverly Hills. This leads to a larger conversation of what should be included in a reality show, and what, if anything, should be off limits, the influence of producers behind the scenes and the magic of editing. Kathryn recounts her own time on RHOBH, the involvement of production, the edit she received, being thrown into day one middle of the season, and her colleagues she had to work with. She explains her past with Faye Resnick (Kyle Richards’ BFF), OJ Simpson, Robert Kardashian, that famous White Bronco and how that possibly affected the decision to cast her. Finally we discuss the involvement of Lisa’s Vanderpump and Rinna in helping “guide” storylines and just how did Season Six become all about Munchausen’s Syndrome.

Vanderpump Rules Makeup artist Jared Lipscomb joins us Behind The Rope. Ok he’s much more than that, but isn’t Vanderpump Rules where all stories should begin? Actually, Jared started doing his own makeup through dressing in drag. Someone said hey you should try this on others - he did - and soon realized a career in makeup was his true calling. His first professional job with someone in the public eye was an Orange Is The New Black cast member. Not a bad way to start. He then met someone who worked at NBC Universal who asked him to help be a touch up artist for one of the Vanderpump Rules after shows. He said yes. Went. Met the entire VR cast. He bonded with Brittany and Kristen this day - they gave him their numbers and the rest is history. Well Vanderpump Rules history which, lets face it - is the only history that matters. Ariana, Stassi, Katie, Kristen, Brittany - he works on them all. Jared takes us on the trajectory from meeting our favorite Vanderwomen - to being there for major life milestones - home owners hello - to this past Season 8 of Vanderpump Rules. Which of the women takes the biggest risks with their makeup and allows Jared to do as he pleases, the answer may shock you. Oh and Jared has also worked on Kelly Dodd's Mom for filming RHOC. Random fact but we are living for it. He has also worked on Madonna’s Gd Control Video. O-M-F-G. What a fun sit down with the one and only Jared Lips. On a serious note, Jared was diagnosed with Leukemia this past year. It is truly heart warming how the cast of Vanderpump Rules stood by him. You know what they say, you find out who you true friends are in tough times. We are happy to report Jared is on the road to recovery and we at The Rope wish him nothing but good health and happiness, always! @jaredlipscomb @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

That fine younger gentleman has also had past relations with fellow RHONY cast member and Forever It-Girl Tinsley Mortimer. A fine gentleman who, according to Lu, “won American Idol." Turns out, our fav Apple Holders were talking about Constantine Maroulis, who came in 6th place during Season 4 of the hit singing competition. In Part I (Released earlier today.

Now, for what we have all been waiting for, life’s most important questions have been answered. Constantine confirms that he is, in fact, the Gentleman who Lu and Ramona were talking about. We discuss how, when, what, and where he originally met Tinsley, LuAnn and Ramona. We also discuss what “dating” each was like. Constantine discusses what filming the 2010 Classic TV Show “High Society” was like and what he thinks about the rest of the Tins Fam, Dale & Dabney Mercer. He also discusses what it is like to be a part of the classic “Countess & Friends” Cabaret. We play fun games such as Marry, F, Kill and then some. Finally, Constantine tells us where he was when his Twitter, IG, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Email and Text went viral this past Thursday during the latest installment of RHONY.

Below Deck Med’s Malia White Steps Behind The Rope. Quarantining from a docked boat in France, Malia is here to discuss it all. Originally from Oregon, Malia had no idea the yachting industry was her true calling until a few years ago when she got a call from Below Deck casting. Having had past experience working on small boats and teaching scuba diving in Hawaii, Malia was working at a desk job in Colorado when the casting call came. Why not?, she said, and the rest is history. Malia discusses some of her more high maintenance guests, both on and off camera, some of the most over the top requests she has received during her yachting career, how to handle celebrities you need to say “no” to, and the biggest tip she has ever received. Malia also discusses being the Below Deck Franchise's first female Bosun, sexism and the role of women in the yachting industry and how some of these issues have played out both last season on Below Deck and this season on Below Deck Med. Of course, we discuss this current season of Below Deck Med, her relationship with Hannah Ferrier, the rules when it comes to hooking up on board, the perception of Below Deck in the industry and what Captain Sandy is really like in real life.

Jenny and Elan grew up with music in their blood. They both knew from an early age this was their true calling. That said, Jenny had a temporary detour into the word of modeling.

Lots to discuss people. Lots to discuss. Where to begin? Audience Appreciation Day is alive and well with avid listener David Goldberg. What's the most interesting thing about David Goldberg? The fact that he listens to the BTVR Podcast. Not even close, although thank you. The fact that he was both Jill Zarin as well as Dorinda Medley's Personal Assistant. Oh yes, we have 101 questions and David G. is kind enough to answer them all about his famous, or shall we say infamous, employers. What WAS working for each like, what was the interview process like, what is the most shocking thing he saw and heard? Oh my, thank you David G. for indulging us. These two Davids met, where else, at a Countess & Friends Cabaret - do we see a pattern here? They reconnected at this season's anti bullying event that was filmed for RHONY. What was that event like? Who ended up doing what off camera? David Squared are here to discuss all. Finally, the two Davids bond over Bravocon where Yontef attended as press on behalf of BTVR and Goldberg assisted Miss Zarin in the sales of her rugs. Assisting Jill also got David Goldberg backstage in the green room at Bravocon's Infamous Watch What Happens Live. Rinna, Gizelle, EJ, oh my. Jealous much - yes yes and yes. What a jam packed episode.

Melissa Rivers Steps Behind The Rope. David and Melissa get right into it like old friends. They waste no time in talking about dating, or lack thereof, during Covid and ponder whether dating is ever really worth it if you can’t sleep with the air conditioning at the temperature you prefer or if you have to give up sleeping diagonal?. Melissa lets us know how quarantine has been going with son Cooper and what quarantining with Joan would have been like. One way Melissa has been keeping busy during quarantine is with her own “Group Text with Melissa Rivers” Podcast where she talks about, well, everything her friends and her talk about in a group text. #brilliant #funny. Reflecting back on her own life, as well as the life of her Icon, Comedic Genius, Legend of a Mother Joan Rivers, we discuss the origins of “Who Are You Wearing” and how that one phrase changed Red Carpets forever. That one phrase ultimately also helped lead to a little TV show known as “Fashion Police”, where Melissa was Executive Producer and later Host. Speaking of Fashion Police Hosts, we discuss Melissa’s colleagues Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic, George Kotsiopoulos, Nene Leakes, Brad Goreski, and Margaret Cho. Fashion has certainly taken a turn this year, but Melissa lets us know who is winning quarantine fashion and what Joan would think about wearing a mask. As far as comedy goes, Melissa discusses her favorite current female comics. Finally, we end with a game of rapid fire hot takes on some of life’s greatests: Madonna, Cher, Brad and Angie, Oprah, Beyonce and so much more!! @melissariversofficial @melissariversgrouptext @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episode Alert!!! https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope This episode is brought to you by betterhelp.com/velvetrope ( Better Help) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Their Pol Atteu Boutique in Beverly Hills is frequented by Sharon Shone, Bella Thorne, Ariel Winter, and Laverne Cox and last, but certainly not least, Betty White.

Not just any masks, but fashion forward masks worn by everyone from Real Housewives such as Kyle Richards, Adrienne Maloof, Kelly Dodd, Gretchen Rossi, Joyce Giraud, Claudia Jordan and Emily Simpson to VanderKids Scheana Shay and James Kennedy to Pop Culture Icons like LaToya Jackson and Perez Hilton.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Joyce Giraud steps Behind The Rope. We couldn’t let this current season of RHOBH come and go without checking in with one of our favs from the past, Miss Joyce Giraud. From very humble beginnings in Puerto Rico, Joyce grew up far from the life she now lives in the famous zip code. Discovered as a model at a young age at the drive thorough at KFC, Joyce was Miss Puerto Rico and second runner up for Miss Universe. She then decided to pursue acting which brought her to LA where she met her now current husband. We catch up with Joyce and discuss how life in quarantine has been going and what is new and exciting since we last saw her holding a diamond back in Season 4. Joyce explains how the first RHOBH cast member she met was Taylor Armstrong. From there she started running into Lisa Vanderpump all the time at Mohamed's house. Joyce discusses the reality of filming RHOBH versus what she expected the experience to be. She has met Prince, Michael Jackson and, wait for it, Madonna. Ok let's just take a minute to absorb that. Of course we also need to hear all about her BFF friendship with the Queen herself, LVP. She also explains her "favs" from Vanderpump Rules - James Kennedy and Scheana Shay.

David welcomes David Parnes from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. Comfy in his back yard in the Hollywood Hills (birds chirping and all), David is ready to talk all about the new season of MDL-LA. Born and raised in London (unlike some accents on Bravo, this one is real), David moved to LA 11 years ago in hopes of that California dreamin' life. A life filled, of course, with real estate. Having no idea how they got his name, David jumped at the opportunity of being a cast member on the show having been a big fan and avid watcher of the MDL franchise prior.

Colin discusses why he thinks the Below Deck Franchise (Below Deck, Below Deck Med and Sailing Yacht) is amongst the highest rated of all of Bravo’s shows. He then enlightens us on the reputation of the Below Deck series in the real life “yachting” industry and the differences between a real life charter and that which we see on TV. Of course, we need answers to some of life's most burning questions - the highest tip he has ever received, the best charter guest, the worst charter guest, Chef Adam or Chef Ben and the most outrageous demand a guest has ever made. We then discuss this current season of Below Deck Med and his relationships with both Captain Sandy and Hannah Ferrier. Colin explains how he got hired to work on the Below Deck yacht and cast on the Bravo juggernaut, which was supposed to originally be for a different season with Captain Lee.

Rori explains how she became a love agent and established her successful New York City based matchmaking business Platinum Poire. After explaining how she became a love agent, we get right into what everyone wants to talk about, RHONY. Her first cast member friend, Carole Radziwill. Didn’t see that one coming. Rori was the one responsible for bringing “Red Scarf Guy” into our, and Bethenny Frankel’s, life (kinda). Red Scarf didn't chose Ramona, as we all saw play out on a season past. Fear not Ropers. Rori came back to the rescue on last nights The Real Housewives of New York City to try to find Ramona a better match. We discuss, Bethenny’s new man, what we think of their relationship, and her inevitable exit from RHONY. We also discuss Tinsley leaving RHONY and what we predict for her future with Scott. Plus, what type of guy does Rori recommend for Sonja, Luann, Dorinda and Ramona and who do we think will be the first one married out of them. Finally, we need her opinion on other famous Match Makers such as Patti Stanger and how she thinks she can help #RHONJ's Teresa and Dolores and Vanderpump Rules' Kirsten Doute.

With the recent announcement of the new RHOA cast, it is confirmed again Marlo Hampton will be an official "friend of". Originally from from Clearwater, Florida, Marlo was taught at an early age how to survive, growing up throughout the state “in the system”. After falling in with a “rough crowd” at home, Marlo moved to Atlanta 12 years ago for a fresh start. Rebranding herself a stylist, thanks to her flair for fashion, Marlo opened a boutique in the ATL and quickly met some of our favorite peach holders. Shortly thereafter, she was brought onto RHOA by Phaedra (bring Phaedra back) and the rest is history. Marlo, open and honest, is willing to discuss it all. No, she still doesn’t wanna date broke and yes, she considers Nene a loyal friend. “Discuss it all", of course, includes Kenya - her marriage, bringing the Cookie Lady to come for Tanya, her “acting” career, and many of her other fine moments during this past season. Arguably, Marlo has done as much for this franchise as any of the full time regulars and is just getting started. Hey Bravo, give her a damn peach already!

Jai Rodriguez from the original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy steps Behind The Rope. Bonding over quarantine life, Jai and David share how they have been getting though the past few months during their time at home. Of course, the conversation quickly turns to Bravo and what it was like, in 2003, to be the very first reality show to ever exist on this now very famous network. Jai discusses how he was cast on Bravo’s original reality show, why he almost wasn't cast, and what working with Andy Cohen was really like. Once the show aired, Jai explains how life quickly changed as a result of this ratings blockbuster and the opportunities, or lack thereof, that followed when the show had ended. Those opportunities, in part, included a series regular role on Malibu Country with legends Reba McEntire and Lily Tomlin plus parts of epic television shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Grace & Frankie and The Rookie, to name a few. Jai discusses the challenges of transitioning from reality TV to scripted roles and how he was able to make that transition successfully. Speaking of Queer Eye, no conversation of the ground breaking series would be complete without a nod to the current Netflix “reboot”. Just in time for Pride month, David & Jai discuss the cultural significance of The Queer Eye Legacy and what is next for Jai in his career.

Once on the New York scene, Harry set his sights in another direction, a leggy blonde he met on the Upper East Side, Aviva Drescher. When his marriage to Aviva ended, he spent his time passing the days with Sonja, who was now Sonja Morgan, soon to be of #RHONY. Through Sonja, he met Luann, who he said knew what she wanted, him, and got it. There was also Kelly Bensimon, yup her too and Ramona, who he describes as a great kisser. Dorinda thew a shoe at Harry at The Regency and then there is Tinsley, oh Tinsley. Of course, no Big Apple sit down would be complete without Bethenny, Jill & Heather.

Vanderpump Rules OG Peter Madrigal steps Behind The Rope. Back in a simpler time when everyone had their Bravo contracts in place, a mere week ago, Peter sat down with The Rope to tell it all. What does HE think about it ALL? Peter explains exactly how the show was cast way back when and it is not what was expected. Peter is kind enough to entertain the Rope's desires to talk about all of his cast mates. Who changed the most since the beginning of the show? What does he personally think of Jax's marriage? What did he think of this past season and the newbies? Does he think the future of VR should be broken into two shows? How does he feel to be one of the only OGs to actually still work at Sur?

With Below Deck Mediterranean back on the air, it is definitely time to check in with the one and only Anastasia Surmava. Connecting all the way from Sri Lanka, Anastasia took time off from running her Yoga Studio & Cafe to chat with the Rope. We last saw Anastasia on the high seas, doing double duty as Third Stew and Chef. For all of those wondering, she has been putting her chef skills to good use during quarantine with her fabulous IG videos. That and spending time with her boyfriend. Anastasia opens up about the on line bullying she received after her time on Below Deck Med and the double standard of being a strong female presence as a Below Deck “Chef“. Of course, no below deck convo would be complete without a full on discussion of Kate Chastain, The Captains Lee and Sandy and the newest franchise, Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

After the week we have had in the BravoVerse, thank you Vanderpump Rules, isn’t it time for a little light hearted fun? Perhaps some light hearted fun with a martini? Or two? Hells F’ing Yes!!! We welcome The One. The Only. Martini Mike (Michael Byrne) Behind The Rope. Hello People. Martini Mike from #RHONY. He has a freakin' Meme. Extending his 15 minutes, he is here to clarify and answer a few key questions for The Rope. Who are his favorite housewives? Who does he think are the best styled housewives? What day of the week did the infamous #RHONY episode film? What time did he get to the Cooke House that fateful evening? Who was he with? What was the name of the bartender serving him his drinks? Did he eat anything and, if so, what? What is Tinsley’ fav seat in the restaurant (hint it isn’t where the group was sitting that night), what is his drink of choice - ok we KNOW it's a martini - but gin or vodka, what kind and what garnish? Are his friends jealous of his “moment”? Did he get pics with the #RHONY cast? Was Luann drinking? How did he know who Leah and Elyse were? What are his plans in life now? Which #RHONY cast members DM’d him after the episode aired and which blew him off (the answers are NOT at all what you would expect)? And most important, just how many Martinis did he have that night? @michaelbyrne @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vanderpump Rule’s newcomer, Charli Burnett, steps Behind The Rope. And what a week it has already been for the Vanderpump Rules cast. Starting out lightly, Charli explains which came first, her real life job as a server at SUR or a much coveted role as one of the “newbies” this season on Vanderpump Rules. She explains which was more difficult - getting used to working at SUR or the presence of cameras while doing so. When she had difficult times during her freshman year of filming, because of a variety of factors (don’t worry you will find out), she turned to the one person all of us would love to turn to for advice, Lisa Vanderpump. Lucky Girl. Ok, enough of that. In yet another case of Vander foreshadowing, prior to yesterday’s terminations of Stassi and Kristen Doute, we discuss Charli’s relations with the OG cast, or lack thereof. Charli then wastes no time in explaining how the OG cast treated her, both on and off camera, and just how “welcoming” (Not) they were. If you didn’t think there was a division between the OG cast and the Newbies before this - well, hmm, you may want to take a listen to this episode. @charliburnett @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Checking in from Chateau Dubrow, in all its glory, Heather and Terry Dubrow, step Behind The Rope. Heather bonds with The Rope over the joyous role of being a successful Podcast Host a la Heather Dubrow’s world. We then get right into The Dubrow Diet, one of the most googled diets out there. Terry explains the science behind The Dubrow Diet (we paid attention, really), a keto fusion diet involving intermittent fasting. We got the Dubrow stamp of approval for a little vodka, a little caffeine and oh, the Dubrow Diet has anti aging effects. Sign us up!! The conversation eventually turns to Botched and the extra challenging cases Terry faced during this current Season 6. 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). We lasted a whole 40 minutes before finally bringing up, obviously The Real Housewives of Orange County. Heather was a true sport in entertaining ALL RHOC questions past and present. Fear not, Heather may soon be back on our TV screens. The Dubrow's have a new reality show they are working on together. Listen here for all those details and so much more. @heatherdubrow @dr.dubrow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Artist and Musician Nicky Bondz Steps Behind The Rope. Having worked on 12 songs, almost a full album during quarantine, Nicky takes time out of his busy day to chat with The Rope. Getting his PhD in Mental Health, Nicky has uniquely blended his doctorate schooling into his hit music by encouraging people to stay strong during this unprecedented tough time the world is facing. One of Nicky’s new singles called “HOME” is a feel-good song that’s a cross of pop with a little bit of EDM and hip hop. Of course, all roads Behind The Velvet Rope lead to Bravo. In this case, that would be Nicky’s recent appearance on Bravo's Hit Show, Blind Date.

Of course Randal and David bond over Randall's favorite Bravo shows besides Camp Getaway - RHONY and discuss all the ins and outs of their favorites and not so favorites.

Elyse Slaine - welcome back!! Wasting no time, Elyse gives us her take on the latest #RHONY Newport "Hurricane Leah" Vacation Episode and what watching herself on TV throughout the season has been like. Elyse opens up about how social media now plays a role in her life and the realization that anything she says on line can, may and probably will be used against her. Elyse discusses her one big regret from this past season, who was the hardest to get to know better and the current status of her relationships, or not, with the cast. Obviously, we had to bring up her unfollowing Ramona on social media and why an unlikely friendship formed between her and Leah.

Real Housewives of Miami’s Ana Quincoces decided to donate her Emerald Green Season 2 Reunion Dress to raise money in assistance for front line heath care workers fighting Covid-19. That one decision quickly led to Real Housewives of Miami cast members Joanna Krupa, Karent Sierra and Adriana de Moura jumping on board. Denise Richards soon followed. Daily Mail picked up the story and voila, calling all Housewives, a donate your reunion dress or suit (Andy Cohen, thank you) was started. Ana talks to The Rope about what the process of wrangling and coordinating all of the involved housewives has been like, who donated what, who said they were going to donate but the dress seems to never have arrived, and last but not least, who just didn’t return Ana’s call. Also, we find out what her current relationship is with the other RHOM ladies. Cue that theme song music and… go! @anaqooks @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Vanderpump Rules’ newcomer, Brett Cap steps Behind the Rope. Welcome bro. Originally from NJ (go East Coast), Brett moved to LA because life is short and why not. Shortly thereafter, he met LVP, who was interested in personal training and Brett quickly found himself training our Queen.

Take a break from the Real Housewives of DC Marathon (no really, its airing today on Bravo) to catch up with one of the five RHODC cast members, Mary Amons. Calling from her sprawling family farm in Southern Maryland, Mary takes time out of her busy quarantine to chat with The Rope about her time on the show. After discussing the current political atmosphere in DC, Mary explains that RHODC was originally supposed to be titled, “Inside Washington” and not part of the Housewives Franchise. Mary explains the difficulties in casting a show with wives in the political sector, the added layer of NDAs and confidential information and how the show ultimately morphed into a part of the Housewives franchise. 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, for lack of a better word, scandal.

Originally from from Clearwater, Florida, Marlo was taught at an early age how to survive, growing up throughout the state “in the system”. After falling in with a “rough crowd” at home, Marlo moved to Atlanta 12 years ago for a fresh start. Rebranding herself a stylist, thanks to her flair for fashion, Marlo opened a boutique in the ATL and quickly met some of our favorite peach holders. Shortly thereafter, she was brought onto RHOA by Phaedra (bring Phaedra back) and the rest is history. Marlo, open and honest, is willing to discuss it all. No, she still doesn’t wanna date broke and yes, she considers Nene a loyal friend. “Discuss it all", of course, includes Kenya - her marriage, bringing the Cookie Lady to come for Tanya, her “acting” career, and many of her other fine moments during this past season. Arguably, Marlo has done as much for this franchise as any of the full time regulars and is just getting started. Hey Bravo, give her a damn peach already!

Shahs of Sunset’s Ali Ashouri, wine in hand (hey no judgments here), steps Behind The Rope. Ali, being at the epicenter of the drama between long time 30 year friends MJ and Reza, is one of the linchpins of Shahs of Sunset Season 8. Ali was first introduced to the group that we see on TV through Reza’s Husband Adam. Adam decided to take him on a trip to Palm Sprigs with Reza and MJ and that was the beginning. The beginning? Or the beginning of the end? With a potential Shahs Reunion looming (c’mom Bravo, what are we waiting for?), Ali assured us he has a lot to say. Ali was happy to oblige The Rope's thirst for opinions on the Shahs family. Shervin, Nema and Mona, they are are cool. MJ, friend for life. GG, Reza, Destiny and Adam?

Now that the Season Four Reunion is complete, Luke Gulbranson steps Behind The Rope to clarify all regarding his freshman year on Summer House. Far from the Hamptons and flannel clad, Luke is more than eager to take David on a tour of his currently being renovated lake house in Upstate Michigan. After discussing their mutual love of Prince (we wouldn’t expect anything less of a good Minnesotan), Luke's many talents and careers - hockey, modeling, acting, jewelry maker, business owner (whew!), David & Luke get right down to business. Having never summered in The Hamptons before, he said yes when buddy Kyle Cooke asked, “hey, wanna join a summer house”. The rest is history. First impressions of the Summer House Cast, the summer house parties, the enigma that is Jordan, all discussed. Luke’s first season summer wasn't without its share of drama - Carl asking Jules to leave the house, the ramifications that followed both on and off camera (as explained to Andy at the Reunion), Amanda and Paige’s opinions of him. Luke is ever so much the true gentlemen. It's all good man, he says. Then, of course, there is Hannah. Hannah, Hannah.

In preparation for tomorrow's season finale of Families of the Mafia, David sits down for an exclusive one on one with the Series Co-Creator, Executive Producer & Star, Karen Gravano. 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.

Meet Sutton Stracke, one of RHOBH’s newest residents. Who is she, you ask? Born in Augusta Georgia, Sutton had a typical Southern upbringing, having not left the south until the age of 23. She spent some time in NYC as a ballet dancer and nanny (multitasking) before ultimately settling in the Beverly Hills area. Named one of the top party hosts in the Country, along with Michelle Obama and Oprah (good company), Sutton keeps busy with her “day job’, running a concept store, Sutton, where everything from the art work to the chair you are sitting on is for sale. A friend of Rinna’s, no first name needed, she was introduced to RHOBH producers and the rest is history. From being thrown in to filming without knowing what to expect to Denise Richards and Bravo Bravo Bravo, David & Sutton unravel the ins an outs of the current RHOBH season.

David welcomes yet another trusted listener Behind The Rope for “Audience Appreciation Day” (Hey there, Mark LaFreniere ). They discuss their mutual love of The Singer Stinger, why RHONY is their fav franchise, and debate if that Giudice table flip is truly the most memorable moment in housewives history. An appearance backstage at WWHL with Erika Jayne and Aydin - let’s reflect on that combo for a moment - leads to a full on discussion about Erika Jayne in Chicago and how The Pretty Mess tour was a gay gift from above. David discusses that one time he “waited” for Julia Roberts in her hotel lobby for a few, ok many, hours. Finally, the conversation somehow turns to David's “past life” of when he lived in the same building as Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Keith Urban, Calvin Klein and Jean Georges. Yes, he did manage to get himself invited to Jackman’s infamous Xmas soiree. The two even find out they were at the same LVP Rose Bottle Signing. # smallworld(@behindvelvetrope @davidyontef @markroland_) Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Of course, David is happy to share a full review of the show. In other news, David reminisces about life before quarantine: Erika Jayne’s star studded appearance in Chicago, Tom Tom sandwich pics in Atlantic City, almost elevator selfies with Daryl Hannah in Paris, run ins with Bruce Bozzi, and sharing a meal on the Upper East Side with Brooke Shields (kind of).

David sits down RHOA’s Yovanna (no last name needed but for your reference it is Momplaisir). Originally from San Franciso, Yovanna eventually settled in the ATL after winning an essay writing contest with her family (don’t ask, just listen). Being younger than the current cast (no shade, it's a fact), Yovanna never really watched RHOA before finding herself in front of the camera at Nene’s Boobs and Bourbon party in Season 11. Flash forward to the current season, Yovanna has been ba-ring-ing it. Of course, no sit down with Yovanna would be complete without a deep dive into Snake Gate.

After making her mark this past week during a much heated discussion with Sonja Morgan (“I was never a trophy wife”), Elyse Slaine comes all the way downtown for a chat about all things Elyse and RHONY. From her humble beginnings in Brooklyn, Elyse settled in NYC’s UES shortly after school and began a career in Mortgaged Back Securities and Financial Trading (yes, she is smart). Elyse sets the record straight about her google rich past - palatial apartments, hedge fund honcho ex-boyfriends and feisty housekeepers. Despite what you may have read in the press, hear the real story directly from Elyse herself. Of course, all roads lead back to RHONY. Elyse tells us how she was cast (by accident folks), her relationships with Apple holders past (Jill, Bethenny, Heather, Aviva), present (Dorinda, Sonja, Leah) and how she feels about her Moniker, “Ramona’s Friend”. Take a bite out of that apple and listen in.

David welcomes back Style Expert Soneca Guadara (“Styled by Soneca”), for a night out behind the rope with LeeAnne Locken and Dolores Catania. A Dallas - New Jersey Crossover! What could be better than that? Having LeeAnne talk about the season that just past? Well yes, she did bring it up. There was also an almost Cynthia Bailey sighting (yup, almost). Oh, did we mention Soneca was backstage in the green room at BravoCon’s WWHL? Whops, shoulda led with that. From selfies with Rinna, to a run in with Mercedes Javid, to a Married to Medicine House Husband, this is a green room we all wish we were in. Ahh, recent, but oh so distant, memories.(@styledbysoneca @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef) https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Back in a simpler time, David used to roam the NYC streets doing the “lords work”. With the new season of Vanderpump Rules back, he was lucky enough to have both of Pump’s Queens in NYC, Kirsten Doute (Queen 1) and Scheana Shay (Queen 2), back to back. Two days later, David runs into, who else, The Singer Stinger (NYC’s Upper East Side is really smaller than you think). With the new season of #RHONY back in full swing, David figured it was a good time to recount the end of last years’ Countess & Friends shows and all the guest appearances - Teresa Giudice, The Gorgas, Margaret Josephs, Marge Sr., Aydin - that went along with them. https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

A few months after The Real Housewives of Orange County finale, with production on the new season halted until further notice (thank you Corona), David checks in with the 100th Housewife, RHOC's Peggy Sulahian. From her early days in the OC, to her car loving husband Diko (Peggy is a Ferrari girl), to her double mastectomy, learn more about the real woman behind the facade of what the audience saw on Bravo. Of course, the conversation quickly turns to all things RHOC. Casting, production, filming, the epic Iceland vacation, nothing is off limits in this sit down with Peggy (she really is good at speaking her mind, people). As far as fellow cast mates go, there is the good (Vicki, Lydia), the not so good (everyone else?) and then there is that time Peggy physically closed Meghan King Edmonds' mouth because, well, she was talking too much.

In honor of the return of #RHONY, David is finally ready to talk about his new Upper East Side life, or for those of you who aren’t familiar with New York City, ground zero for Housewives. Front and center, of course, is the Regency, David’s new regular watering hole. Re-introduced to the regency by the and only Laurie Cooper, yup Dorinda’s Realtor, David was thrilled to run into Harry Dubin on his second visit (the two shortly thereafter became and remain IRL BFFS - who would have ever predicted this). Although a nightly regular on the UES, David isn’t moving any time soon. He’s excited to, its about time, see downtown NYC properly represented on the #RHONY franchise, Leah McSweeney (she knows Peter F’in Gatien) as I have told you recently, heart you!!! (Listener Appeciation @jessheller re-joins David Behind The Rope) *Please note, many of our episodes were recored prior to the bitch that is Corona. Please listen responsibly.

On the heels of the season 12 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City, the man, the myth, the legend, Harry Dubin, steps Behind The Rope. Harry chats about, what else other than his real life, shall we say, “experiences” with the women behind #RHONY. Harry takes us back to his first, housewife that is, Miss Sonja Tremont. After a chance meeting at a bar in DC, with only a first name, Harry tracks down Sonja after hitting up no less than 10 hotels, for the beginning of a several decade on again, off again, “relationship”. Once on the New York scene, Harry set his sights in another direction, a leggy blonde he met on the Upper East Side, Aviva Drescher. When his marriage to Aviva ended, he spent his time passing the days with Sonja, who was now Sonja Morgan, soon to be of #RHONY. Through Sonja, he met Luann, who he said knew what she wanted, him, and got it. There was also Kelly Bensimon, yup her too and Ramona, who he describes as a great kisser. Dorinda thew a shoe at Harry at The Regency and then there is Tinsley, oh Tinsley. Of course, no Big Apple sit down would be complete without Bethenny, Jill & Heather. Finally, Harry is more than eager to play a NSFW version of who would you rather #RHONY edition. @harrydubin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the pioneers of reality television, Jaime Gleicher, joins us Behind The Rope. Before there was Jax & Brit, Stassi & Beau, 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 humors David in discussing 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". Until her book is published (300 pages and counting), listen here for an all access exclusive. https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

On the heels of her departure announcement from the franchise, David sits down with Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Executive Producer Dorothy Toran. From her beginnings in Liberia, Africa, to growing up in New York, to her career before #RHONJ (Oprah, The Obamas and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson), David and Dorothy cover it all. Obviously all roads lead to Bravo and for Dorothy that meant Manzo'd with Children, her entree into the network. When that show came to an end, Dorothy was called in to helm the reigns of #RHONJ in a pivotal season of helping welcome Teresa home. David gets most of his "fangirl" questions answered (you can't force an EP to answer anything she doesn't want to) before signing off. Thank you Dorothy for making some amazing, salacious, entertaining, heartwarming, juicy, over the top, real, poignant, relevant, captivating TV.

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 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, as played out during Season Two of Summer House, and the current state of that relationship today. Finally David cannot control himself when hearing about Stephen's friendships 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.
