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.

Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard from Bravo’s "The People’s Couch" step back Behind The Rope. You may have heard a thing of two about them feuding with Jeff Lewis lately.

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.

It is that time of the month again. Miss Melissa Rivers is back to break down all that has been happening in our Bravo world.  Having had dinner with Bethenny and Nene earlier this month, we ask Melissa, “were there any signs of discord” foreshadowing what we now know as the eventual break up, unfollowing and demise of BethenNene?  We break down Nene’s recent trip to Dubai with Cynthia Bailey and what is really going on over in Dubai with Nene, Cynthia, Chanel Ayan, Lesa Milan and Bravo TV.  Speaking of Nene, we discuss the current state of RHOA, talk future peach holders and whether Nene is really needed to save this once stellar franchise.

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. We figured this holiday weekend was the perfect time to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Vicky Vox.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. Part II Starts Now! @mediumallison @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PHILO - www.philo.tv (Use Promo Code Velvet To Get 50% Off Your First Month on The Easiest, Hassle Free Way To Watch TV) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

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

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. So many questions, so little time! @penny.karagiorgis @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling Nostalgic this Sunday? We are. That’s why we decided to share this chat from the past with Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Martyn fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV Screens on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. His first big break in design came from sitting next to Original Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs at a wedding. By the end of the wedding she had hired him to decorate her house and, from there, his design business started to take off. Martyn Lawrence Bullard Design was born. Martyn chats with us about his “Design Style” and his Design “Dos” and Dont’s”. We also chat about how Martyn was cast on Bravo’s classic “Million Dollar Decorators” and his relationships with his co-stars Mary McDonald, Kathryn Ireland, and Jeffrey Alan Marks.

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.

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. In typical Cat fashion, nothing is held back and we wouldn’t expect anything less.  @catommanney @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season Four. The return of Mary Cosby. The introduction of Jen Shah’s ex assistant, turned FBI Informant, turned Snow Flake Holder. Does Monica really know where all the bodies are buried and is Jen Shah justified for being outraged, from prison, that her name was mentioned so many times?

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!

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.

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.

In the article it explained one reason why and that reason was named LeeAnne Locken. It made me reminisce and want to share this epic chat with LeeAnne right after she parted ways with the franchise. Read between the lines, nothing was held back. 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. Part II starts now.    @leeannelocken @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Sonja Morgan's Intern steps Behind The Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Now that RHONY has been rebooted and is back on our TV screens and Sonja and her sidekick Luann are tearing it up in Crappie Lake each week, we figured it a great time to revisit this viral chat with one of Sonja Morgan’s iconic interns. Meghan talks about the application process, interview, first day on the job and fellow interns including the one and only Pickles. No discussion as an intern would be complete without discussing the iconic townhouse and iconic toaster! Full details provided. We also break down what a typical day and typical night as a Sonja Morgan Intern looks like. Yes, night because Meghan moved into the townhouse to be available 24/7 to Miss M. Of course, there were also the watch parties at Sonja's house during the Real Housewives of New York City Season and all that behind the scenes RHONY talk, the good, the bad, the in between - Ramona, Lu, and so on. Even our buddy Harry Dubin is part of this blockbuster episode. Didn't see that coming? Neither did we. Of course all good things must come to an end. We finally get into Meghan’s resignation, what that process looked like and how Sonja took the news.  @megagahubert @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ROCKET MONEY - rocketmoney.com/velvetrope (Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions & Manage Expenses The Easy Way)  ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET For Your Skin's Everyday Needs) HEXCLAD- hexclad.com (Get 10% Off With the Code VELVET For The Best Non Stick Cookware Around)  EARNIN - Download The EarnIn App Today (In Google Play or Apple App Store and Type in Velvet Rope When You Sign Up) 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 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.

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.

Anna Rothschild Steps Behind The Rope. On the heels of the return of the, shall we call it new, RHONY, or RHONY reboot, if you will, we take a trip down memory lane with the one and only Anna Rothschild. Who is Anna Rothschild, you ask? Anna Rothschild is the woman pictured all over London sporting a 22 Carat Yellow Canary Diamond Ring with Tom D’Agostino mere days after Tom’s divorce from Luann sent shock waves throughout the BravoVerse. Yes, it really was all about Tom. Anna has known Tom D’Agostino for twenty years. She has known Harry Dubin for around thirty. A true insider, Anna chats Tom, Harry, The Regency, RHONY and that 22 Carat Yellow Diamond Ring. Anna has also known Sonja, Dorinda, Luann, Ramona and all our favorite Legacy babes forever. We discuss who she likes, doesn’t like, what the women are like off camera and the status of these relationships today.

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.

Kim D. is in rare form as she breaks down our chat earlier this week with Bo Dietl sharing new info on his many messages to The Gorgas, Margaret, Luis, Tre and Andy. 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.

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. Finally, we chat RHUGT RHONY Legacy, Sonja and Luann’s Welcome To Crappie Lake and the RHONY Reboot, two of which are hitting our Bravo screens in the next week or two! @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) IQBAR - TEXT VELVET to 64000 (Get 20% Off All IQBAR Products Plus Free Shipping)  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.

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.

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. Randall Emmett. Part II Starts Now! @randallemmettfilms @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

The RHONJ Reunion Part Two. Where do we begin? Tre says she is Namaste, Melissa says she is not going, Marge claims Luis is up to no good, Danielle is told she was set up, Andy needs to yell and oh, so much more. As the reunion unfolds, it becomes clearer and clearer what is going to happen when the RHONJ Pause - sorry Andy, but it is true - ends, who will be terminated, who will survive and what we can expect RHONJ to look like next season when filming begins. As far as to when filming actually resumes, we share info we have learned and when we an expect Bravo contracts to really go out. In preparation for the House Husbands next week, Mr. Luis Ruelas is not having a good week. We break down our attorney, Doug Anton, and friend, Vanessa Reiser’s, recent claims against Luis involving alleged “stalking", Margaret’s claims that he called her son with “threats” at work, Rachel Fuda’s claims that he tried to interfere with her family all while Tre just denies, denies, denies. Finally, we chat the FBI, Jacqueline Laurita, why Teresa still won’t, and probably never will, reveal the dark secrets in Joey Gorga’s past and much, more more.

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. Finally, we share some Bethenny Frankel updates and ask why, what and where regarding many of her current life and biz choices. @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.

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.

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?

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/velvet40 (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. So much has been written about his shows but, after attending one ourself in New York City the other week, we are here today to separate truth from fiction - rumored boos, Ariana chants, cheater screams, negative signage, music, women, a revenge body with muscles galore, packed vs. empty seats and much, much more. 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 Archuleta steps Behind The Rope. David is here to chat about his journey from a small town Utah teen, to being thrust into the spotlight at just sixteen and finishing second on American Idol to his recent appearance as Macaw on the juggernaut The Masked Singer where he, once again, finished second. 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. On that note, cue music and press play! @davidarchie @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/velvet40 (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.

Jacqueline Laurita steps BACK 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, 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.

The RHONY Reboot finally has an air date of July 17th, 2023 and The RHONY RHUGT is headed back to St. Barts. In celebration of these accomplishments from the Housewives of one of our current three home towns - perhaps The Real Housewives of The Hamptons is coming next - we revisit the chat we had, back when, with Jill Zarin and Dorinda Medley's Ex-Personal Assistant. Oh yes, we have 101 questions for this fine young gentleman and he 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 and many, many more. Now since we know she is listening to this episode, we also want to say hi to our friend and down the street Sag Harbor neighbor, the Icon and OG herself, Miss Jill Zarin who we know is going to call us once she see’s this episode pop up in her Apple Podcast App. Cue the phone call ring in 3,2,1… @indigoboydavid @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) MICRODOSE- microdose.com (Use Code VelvetRope For Free Shipping and 30% Off Your First Order) 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 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. Finally, we share what we know about all the RHONJ cast changes now that the reunion is here.  @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) MICRODOSE- microdose.com (Use Code VelvetRope For Free Shipping and 30% Off Your First Order) 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 several fake and false RHONJ Reunion Stories leaked as well as the leaked edited Vanderpump Rules finale, we chat about the source of these leaks, why bloggers make up “fake news” for clicks and what Bravo plans to do going forward to prevent such false info from circulating. Speaking of RHONJ, we chat about the many new claims and investigations involving Luis Ruelas, what this means for TreHuggers, the changes in Teresa’s camp as a result, and where the star of RHONJ and her hubby go from here. Déjà Vu much? Moving on to, shocker, The Scandoval, we discuss why watching Vanderpump Rules is cringeworthy at best, Tom Sandoval’s possible danger and cry for help, Raquel’s true whereabouts and whether LVP had a little too much of a hand in setting the Scandoval in motion. Whew.

Jerry Springer. 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.

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. Do yourself a favor, do not google this viral chat until after you have listened! We are thrilled to share this blast from the past here with you today.  @charliburnett @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99)  INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Start Hiring Now.

Newsflash! We are in the midst of a Scandoval. We deep dive how the Scandoval has brought Jax and Brittany (new podcast alert), Stassi (new tour alert) and Kristen (VPR cameo alert) back into the forefront of our lives as if they never left and discuss whether, in light of where “cancel culture”, to the extent there even is still a thing, is today, any of the aforementioned would be terminated by Bravo if they could do it all over and reverse the hands of time. 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.

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.

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. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!! @maryamons @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) TRAILMIX GAMES - (Download Love & Pies for Free in the App Store or Google Play.)

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.

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.

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.

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. Ok, maybe we used the word lightly too soon. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SMALLS - smalls.com/VELVET (Use Promo Code VELVET for 50% Off Your First Order)  INNOVATIVE EXTRACTS - ie-cbd.com (Use Promo Code VELVET for 40% Off Your First Order)  NOM NOM - trynom.com/velvet (50% Off Your No Risk Two Week Trial)  DAILY HARVEST - dailyharvest.com/velvet (Up To $40 Off Your First Box) 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.

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.)

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.

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. We chat highs & lows both on and off camera, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, Nanny Faye, just who wears the pants in this family, that “other” reality TV fam known as The Kardashians, whether Todd is really as “particular” in real life about everything as he seems on the small screen, and which Real Housewives would Julie and Todd like to join. We discuss all the spin offs - According To Chrisley, Growing Up Chrisley, What’s Cooking with Julie, biggest misconceptions, and just what is next for this family that refuses to slow down any time soon.

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. Listen closely.

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". Until her book is published (300 pages and counting), listen here for an all access exclusive. @jaimegleicher @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

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

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. LOL, yup, it is one of those episodes today. #enjoy @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PAIRED - paired.com/velvet (Get a 7 Day Free Trial and 25% Off If You Sign Up For a Subscription)  KEEPSTER - keepster.co/velvet (Use Code VELVET For 25% Off) LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) 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.

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.

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.

Bethenny Frankel has returned to Real Housewives in the form of her new “ReWives” Podcast. We break down what we think are the real reasons why Bethenny has chosen to “rewife”, what we can really expect from Bethenny once the Pod launches, the BravoVerse and other Housewives’ viral reactions to Bethenny’s announcement - Luann de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, the many behind the scenes texts, calls and DM’s we received from our many Bravoleb friends and the larger meaning of Bethenny’s ReWive, if any, and whether this means she wants to, is ready to and will return to Real Housewives in some way shape or form as we know it.

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.

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. What more could you ask for? @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef FULL EPISODE at: https://www.patreon.com/posts/74182473/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

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!)

Hi, I’m EmRata, aka Emily Ratajkowski. Maybe you know me from my work as an actress or model, or maybe you’ve read my bestselling book, My Body. I’m interested in marrying everything high and low brow by talking pop culture and happenings that may seem frivolous in a way that raises big questions. On this podcast, I’ll be talking everything from politics, philosophy, and feminism to sex, TikTok and relationships. Every Tuesday, I’ll host intimate conversations with special guests, including celebs, incredible authors, close friends, and people I admire. In the week’s second episode, I’ll talk about whatever’s happening in the world and what it’s making me think about, including anecdotes, personal opinions and, ideally, some thought provoking questions. Finally, you can subscribe to a third exclusive episode each week where you get to be part of the show. I’ll go through your comments and answer your DMs. My hope is that this series will be a place where you can come to have fun and take part in thoughtful discourse.

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! Thank you Mr. Cantone!  @macantone @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CBDISTILLERY - www.thecbdistillery.com (15% Off.

The most requested return guest in the history of the BTVR Podcast is back to break down the RHOBH Reunion thus far, our beloved Diamond Holders’ behavior at BravoCon and everything and anything Bev Hills in-between. From Rinna getting booed, 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: ETTITUDE - Ettitude.com/VelvetRope (Use Code VELVETROPE for 20% Off Your First Order) CBDISTILLERY - www.thecbdistillery.com (15% Off.

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.

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!

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 Biermann steps Behind The Rope. In true Brielle form, nothing is off limits or held back! 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. Brielle opens up about her love life, type, and current status. We chat the end of Don’t Be Tardy, whether Kim should or would return to RHOA, and what is next for her.  @briellebiermann @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

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. All this as rumors of last minute edits, deleted scenes, rumored media embargoes and what is bound to be one F of a reunion flood the BravoVerse! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/71702239/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

There has been a lot of talk about Lisa Rinna’s RHOBH future and next season’s likely cast of RHOBH. We break down who is likely to stay, who is likely to go, who is likely to return from the past, who is likely to resign and will the online attack on Garcelle’s son affect any of this. In other West Coast Real Housewives news, we break down Tamra Judge’s return to RHOC, address rumors that the whole cast has united against Shannon and analyze whether Tamra’s return can save this seemingly broken franchise. Heading east, we shed light onto the truth behind those constant rumors that Ramona Singer will not be part of the RHONY Legacy show, Melissa Gorga’s involvement in perpetrating those rumors, and reveal the timeline of when we can realistically expect any legacy announcement. Two words - not soon!Lindsay and Carl get engaged, Scheana gets married, Schwartzy and Raquel kiss, Katie Maloney blames Scheana, Jax, Brittany and Kristen get dissed and much to our chagrin, all of this is being filmed for the upcoming seasons of Summer House and Vanderpump Rules respectively! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

The RHOBH Universe has a one track mind these days and it is to find out who was behind the social media attack on Garcelle’s Son Jax. Several names have been thrown around - Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins, Erika Jayne, RHOBH Producers and Patrick Somers. 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.

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?

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.

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.

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. Kathryn Dennis in a rare sit down like you have never heard her before. @kathryndennis @behindvrelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

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.

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.

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.

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. All this plus a Kristen Taekman Hamptons Sag Harbor sighting this week. As we always say, enjoy! @thesarahfrasershow @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.

Erika Jayne told Garcelle’s fourteen year old son Jax to F off.

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. Finally, we discuss Bethenny Frankel’s recent posts about her RHONY exit and the upcoming RHONY OG show. @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.

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.

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. Tune in for Part I of this no holds bar sit down with the one and only, Miss Claudia Jordan. @claudiajordan @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

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.

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.

So much Bravo tea, so little time. The Kathy Hilton / Lisa Rinna feud seems to be taking a different turn every day, hour, minute and we are here to break it all down, unentangle the webs which have been weaved and dissect where these two really stand today. In other news, we deep dive whether all of Bethenny Frankel’s many statements that she wants to distance herself from The Real Housewives are incongruous to selfies with Tre, Mel. 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. In other OG news, Countess Lu helps open a rehab facility with an open bar and NeNe Leakes wishes Daddy Cohen a Happy Birthday. Finally, we share an RHOC Season 17 update, an Erika Jayne update and an RHOBH current season temperature check. @thesarahfrasershow @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.

Jason Cameron steps Behind The Rope. Jason is here to chat about his first season of Winter House, the status of the much anticipated second season of Winter House, Summer House and everything in between. Jason talks about his very public story shared by Lindsay Hubbard on this past season of Summer House - how he felt having that shared on national TV, the end of their relationship, status today and what he thinks about Bravo power couple, Carl and Lindsay. Jason chats all his hot takes on other Winter / Summer House couples - Amanda / Kyle, Paige / Craig, what his day job of male modeling really entails, his current relationship status and just what type of woman turns his head with single Bravo hopefuls Lala Kent, Eboni K. Williams, Kelly Bensimon and Tinsley Mortimer all suggested as potential suitors. Finally, circling back, we chat when Season Two of Winter House will be announced, what we can expect and whether he will be perhaps coming to a certain Hamptons house in the very near future, filming soon! @jasoncameron @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.

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? All this plus real life run ins this week with Andy Cohen, Brooks Marks, Paris Jackson, Eva Longoria and many more! @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.

Tyler Henry steps Behind The Rope. You may think you know everything about Tyler from watching his original E blockbuster show, “Hollywood Medium”, eyeing his most recent Netflix incarnation, “Life After Death”, reading his many books or attending a live show in hopes of making it off this 300,000 person long wait list for a rare live reading. Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction 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. The more we asked Tyler about his work as a medium, the more questions we had!! @tylerhenrymedium @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.

Kelly Mi Li steps Behind The Rope. Bling Empire’s Kelly Mi Li that is. Kelly is here to spill the tea on all that is Season Two. Kelly chats about how this was such a different and lighter season now that she is single, what she learned from her last relationship and is ideally looking for in a partner. Of course we break down all of the drama - the ongoing feud between Anna Shay and Christine Chiu, the will they or won’t they of Kim and Kevin, lie detectors, empty threats and the disappearance of one Cherie Chan and Jessey Lee. Kelly chats new cast members Dorothy Wang and Mimi Morris - who fits in better, will Dorthy and Kane ever get along and more. Since this is Bling Empire we break down just how rich are these cast members.

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps 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, 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. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow, the breakup of her friendship with Noella and much more.

Tre is going to the chapel and she is going to get married. Thanks to one Miss Ramona Singer, we now know who is invited / not invited to Teresa’s August wedding to Luis. In a shocking turn of events, Kim D. is not invited but fear not, she is here to chat about it all. We break down the invitation, location, guest list and fact that one Miss Margaret Josephs is on the guest list. Even though Caroline Manzo is not invited, she seems to want to return to RHONJ and, as Kim says, “knock Tre for a loop”. Heading west, Kim breaks down this week’s RHOBH, an unexpected turn of events from Crystal, shocking claims against Sutton, an LVP reference and, once again, Lisa Rinna seems to be having one F of a week both on and off air.
