Jennifer Aydin slammed a Jersey Mike’s employee as “slow” and “old”, declared a fellow patron an “a**hole” and labeled herself a “f**cking celebrity” with a surgeon husband who can buy people ten times over.

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

As we head into the new year, Happy 2025, we figured it a great time to break down and analyze whether Bravo has a double standard when it comes to crimes, misbehavior and bad acts by its talent. Teresa Giudice, Jen Shah, Shannon Beador, Karen Huger, Kenya Moore, James Kennedy, The Singer Stinger and more have all been arrested, convicted or accused of bad behavior over the past decades.  Some have survived, some have been punished and some, such as Karen Huger, have futures that are, at best, uncertain.  RHOP, RHOBH and RHOSLC prepare for all new episodes this coming week.  Mauricio and PK have plans for Dorit and Kyle’s future, Kyle is prepared for her biggest breakdown in her RHOBH history and RHOBH friendships shift as we head into the rest of the season.  Finally, Melissa Gorga shares updates on her Sprinkle Cookie business, RHONJ “til 2026” pause and her sister-in-law Teresa. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

RHOBH Season 14, Episode 4. The season of Dorit continues. Real? Fake? Who cares? An activated Dorit is here to stay and we are living for it. Dorit and Kyle pick up right where they left off last week. Claims of double standards, demanded blind loyalty, friendship punishments and more, Dorit holds nothing back in telling Kyle, Garcelle, Sutton and anyone else who gets in her way exactly what she thinks about them. Kathy Hilton, Boz and Jennifer Tilly are the greek chorus and watch every move in awe of what they are witnessing. We get it. Teddi Mellencamp’s name is mentioned for the second time this season which, as Garcelle said best, makes Teddi very, and we mean, very happy. Finally, Sutton and Dorit explode on each other, Erika becomes the queen of side convos, Sutton wants sisterhood and oh, so much more, as we break all down in RHOBH-land from the past week. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

Just raise your glasses high. This one's for you tonight. All good things must come to an end and, now, that includes Vanderpump Rules. First we react to the announcement that the OG cast of VPR will not be back and that Season 12 will include an entirely new cast except for Lisa Vanderpump. After we react and share our reactions, we break down just how we got here, explain the real reasons for the termination of the OG cast, explain whether this is, or is not, a shock and discuss why this was the only inevitable, viable option to move the show forward.

Now that the RHOC Reunion has one more part to go, we cannot help but look ahead to next season of RHOC - the expected return of the entire cast, the possible upgrade of Alexis "Jesus Jugs” to full time, a possible Johnny J and Fun Lexi televised wedding and cameras which, with tensions running high and ratings that are decent, expected to be picked back up with very little to no break for our fav orange holders.  Karen Huger’s DUI trial moves forward with possible severe consequences that The Grand Dame seems to be ignoring.  Lisa Barlow takes no prisoners both on RHOSLC and off air behind the scenes as this stellar season moves along. Sonja Morgan’s dark side is exposed, VPR’s future moves one step closer to being solidified and Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning seems to be working in ways no one ever expected.  All this and more as Part III of our live show, where no question was off limits and you shady MF’s brought the heat, airs unedited exposing new Housewife feuds, nasty DM’s we have received the past week / few weeks from Housewives and much, much more leaving no one safe, friend or foe. Yup, it’s that kinda episode.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now:  https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A few months ago, at the close of last season’s very toxic RHONJ, we discussed the vision we foresaw for the future of RHONJ. In other words, who would be back and who would not be back. Today, we step into the alternative universe with another, possibly clearer vision. Melissa or Teresa. That is the question and regardless of whether Melissa or Teresa are back, how, if at all, are the rest of the cast affected. Short answer, not so much at all. We break down how and why, discuss when we expect to hear about Season 15 casting, dispel the many, many, many false rumors out there and much more.  Finally, we touch upon the current state of Housewives with RHOBH, RHOP, RHOC and RHOSLC all airing, starting, or finishing very soon.  Part II starts now.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

Our live show has come and gone where no question was off limits and boy did this audience bring it! From why certain past Podcast relationships have ended, past Housewife friendships - some recent, some not so recent have exploded, to reading specific nasty texts from and to Housewives and many and every other Housewife who we have blocked and who have blocked us, y’all were, are and seemingly always will be shady AF in the best way possible. We talk friendship and business fall outs with Housewives from RHONJ, RHOM, RHOC, and more.  In other news, we talk the future of RHONJ - who will really truly return Melissa or Teresa and Marge’s involvement in helping lead to a toxic environment, the most shocking thing we have heard about Real Housewives this week, the rudest Housewives in person, the joy of hanging with Kathy Hilton, Teresa’s recent strange behavior and businesses, the future of RHOC, Tamra’s protection from Bravo, the Grand Dame’s hard RHOP season, Rachel Leviss secrets, new alleged Tom Sandoval lies and soooo very much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

Jax Taylor steps back Behind The Rope. Jax is here for a nothing is off limits chat breaking down the full anthology of his time in the VanderVerse - the highs and lows of VPR, cast mates, and ultimate end. Jax clarifies the circumstances surrounding his and wife Brittany Cartwright’s exit, the many misconceptions about it, and the truth as to what actually happened. Jax also talks about the end of his friendship with Stassi, ups and downs of his relationship with Lisa Vanderpump and ins and outs of his bro Tom Sandoval. Recorded in a simpler, and some could argue more peaceful time, before “The Valley”, before his separation from Brittany, Jax talks about a new show he was trying to get off the ground about “Daddy Jax” set in the valley, discusses married life to Brittany and much more. They say hindsight is 20/20. Today we put that theory to the test by sharing this never before aired chat, uncovering easter eggs, foreshadowing and so much more. A nothing is off limits trip down all things Vanderpump lane with the #1 guy in the group, Mr. Jax Taylor.

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

There are so many rumors swirling in the VanderVerse about the future of VPR. Contract disputes, demands for money, the fact that Ariana has moved on both figuratively and literally - as her and Tom’s house goes up for sale and last, but certainly not least, a cast that is much divided with Lala not speaking to Ariana at all. We break down all these facts, discuss the likelihood VPR will return for a final season and address the rumors that the next gen of VanderKids is about to emerge in VPR 2.0. The Real Housewives of Dubai is green lit for Season 3, Caroline Brooks tells fans to F off and we, the BravoVerse, gasp in shock that this low rated franchise is returning. Of course, we have a few theories on that. Finally, we break down our recent run in with Lisa Rinna and discuss the return of RHOBH - trailer released and whether Rinna would, should and could return as a diamond holder one day. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) BRANCH BASICS - branchbasics.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Your Entire Order Of These Non-Toxic, All-Natural Cleaning Products) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  IRESTORE  (Get 25% Off iRestore’s Illumina Face Mask with the code VELVET25 at https://bit.ly/4eMcFQK) HEALTHY GUT SECRET -  HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet (Watch This Video Right Here HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet and See Exactly How I Am Able To Stay In Shape) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Jax Taylor steps Behind The Rope. Jax is here for a nothing is off limits chat breaking down the full anthology of his time in the VanderVerse - the highs and lows of VPR, cast mates, and ultimate end. Jax clarifies the circumstances surrounding his and wife Brittany Cartwright’s exit, the many misconceptions about it, and the truth as to what actually happened. Jax also talks about the end of his friendship with Stassi, ups and downs of his relationship with Lisa Vanderpump and ins and outs of his bro Tom Sandoval. Recorded in a simpler, and some could argue more peaceful time, before “The Valley”, before his separation from Brittany, Jax talks about a new show he was trying to get off the ground about “Daddy Jax” set in the valley, discusses married life to Brittany and much more.

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

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

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

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

With so much going on this current season, we figured it the best time to sit down and chat with Elizabeth again.

Some nights just turn out great. In other RHOBH news, David Foster and Katharine McPhee seem to be having marital issues, Erika Jayne looses her now infamous earnings forever and still faces legal troubles ahead from Marco Marco and last, but certainly not least, Kyle Richards is seen around town, once again, with no wedding ring. Finally, this season of RHOSLC is plugging along with some good news and some not good news, but, fear not, we are here to break it all down. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

Louie Ruelas says a lot about a lot of things but at the end of the day, what does he really say? Who is the real Louie under all the one liners and anecdotes of positivity? We attempt to answer that question, discuss his future with Teresa and what is next for this self proclaimed soul mate couple now that RHONJ is on pause for the very long future.  RHOBH prepares to return, both Kathy Hilton and Lisa Rinna have life updates, RHONY also prepares to return and much more Housewives hot goss from the past week is broken down, analyzed and discussed.

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

Alexis Bellino seems to be backtracking about the video she has regarding the night Shannon crashed her car, Shannon keeps holding her head high and this season of the return to form RHOC keeps moving along as we contemplate an Alexis / Shannon friendship in the possible near, or far, future.  Mary Cosby has shown up and shown out this season, newbie Bronwyn continues to do the mostest and we wonder why everyone seems to be coming for one Miss Whitney Rose. The people come for Tamra Judge as she claps back explaining everyone better watch out at the reunion, the RHONJ pause continues, Teresa seems to have a total lack of self awareness about her NJ future and the cast declare they are loyal to a fault yet their actions continue to show otherwise,  All this and more as we are joined today by Andie Mitchell and Sabrina Kohlberg from the “Good Morning America” / ABC Audio Podcast “Pop Culture Moms”. @andiemmitchell @skohlberg @popculturemoms @goodmorningamerica @abcaudio @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (15% Off Plus a $44 Gift With Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  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.

RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 2. Craziness, all stars, over the top fashion and more. Mary Cosby, like Ramona Singer, has no problem looking someone in the face - in this case newbie Britani - and telling them she just does not care at all whatsoever about them. Ahh Mary Ramona Singer Stinger Cosby is in the house. Angie K., still emotional over getting the center snowflake, shows up and shows out but Miss Barlow reminds us that it is way too late to change in your late 40s. Amen to that, no pun intended. Meredith gives us McSweeney, Leah vibes announcing her upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Seth is excited and the bath balm biz is off to the races. We smell a few fake storylines, have heard some off air rumors - and nastiness - and much more. In other news, Jennifer Aydin is still talking about her Gorga run in at BravoCon years ago as we wonder if anyone cares. Finally, Jennifer shares a new message for Margaret Josephs as, surprise, surprise, the RHONJ pause remains in full effect with nothing expected to be discussed til early 2025, if that.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow and much more.

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

We break down the facts that led up to this declaration, discuss what this means for the business and where Mr. Ruelas goes from here.

We discuss their marriage, is there a need for intervention and whether Margaret Josephs has been right all along. Next, we discuss and reveal every detail regarding the Tre Hugger bloggers who have bombarded the RHOBH cast past and present this week - Sutton, Erika, Kyle, Dorit, Teddi, Rinna, Garcelle, even Jennifer Tilly - trying to bring the toxicity of the RHONJ blog world to RHOBH which suggests that the toxic nature of RHONJ has not yet died down and the pause has changed nothing since last month’s finale. Finally, we discuss Teresa’s involvement in the RHONJ blogger community, whether she is aware of the recent RHOBH attack and whether this will affect her future multi million dollar job. Oh yea, also Kyle and Morgan break up. Way to bury the lead! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is really only one main topic to break down today. After gathering all of the facts of she said, she said, we break down the epic war that seems to be getting worse by the day between Tamra and Vicki, no last names needed. Who could have ever predicted this? After feuding all season, off air, Vicki slammed Tamra as a bad mom who does not care at all about daughter Sidney, has martial problems with husband Eddie and is just a dark, toxic person of no substance. Fresh out of a brow lift, CO2 laster treatment and chemical peel, looking almost unrecognizable, Tamra clapped back, changed her tune twenty four hours later and broke down leaving fans to speculate what was real and not real. We break down the back story of this feud, the claims that Tamra and Eddie have problems and that Vicki is jealous, pathetic and will never be back on RHOC in the feud we never expected, nor knew we needed, but are so here for considering it is just as dynamic, diabolical and entertaining as anything we are watching on this season of RHOC. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PSYCHIC SOURCE (Download The Psychic Source App in Apple or Google Play For Free To Get a 35 Minute Psychic Reading For Only $20 With Code Velvet) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Danielle Cabral claims she is not sure if she can handle another RHONJ season like this past, details the hardest parts of the job and discusses her and the show’s future as the RHONJ long pause remains in full effect. Margaret Josephs has a message for Danielle Staub and Siggy Flicker, discusses Teresa’s grudges, slams ex-friend Jackie Goldschneider, discusses the fall out of Tre’s friendship with Dina Manzo, praises Juicy Joe and slams Louie Ruelas as “evil to the bone” responsible for poisoning Teresa again her. Finally, Alexis Bellino demands respect, is sick of the audience’s and fellow cast member’s sympathy for Shannon and prepares, apparently, to wed Johnny J now that she is an engaged woman. Somewhere, down the block, Jim Bellino is smiling.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

Lynne walks us through how she was cast on RHOC, who she knew before being cast and some of the story lines we saw regarding her life as they played out on national television. We discuss how The Real Housewives of Orange Country has changed since the early days and how reality tv, in general, is a whole new landscape in the modern age. Of course we discuss the status of Lynne's current relationships with other OC staples such as Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Jeana Keough, Gretchen Rossi, Lydia McLaughlin, Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, Lizzie Rovsek, and the Peggys Sulahian and Tanous. We also talk about the times she has crossed paths with Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and many of our friends from Laguna Beach and The Hills. Finally, no chat with Lynne Curtin would ever be complete without a discussion of her iconic, classic, one of a kind "Lynne Curtin Cuffs”.  With this season of RHOC well under way, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Lynne Curtin.  @lynneanncurtin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula)   GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

With RHONJ over and done, a lot of the cast is spending time together while other possibly former RHONJ seem to want nothing to do with each other. We discuss which friendships are real and which of our fav Garden State ladies will probably never speak again now that the season has come to an end. In other news, Tom Girardi is found guilty, Erika Jayne reacts and we, the viewing public, await his sentencing later this year. Tamra Judge’s well laid plan for this season of RHOC seems to have gone awry, producers are suspected to be involved, the Housewives audience demands that she be fired and Tamra claps back. On that note, we discuss all the mistakes many Housewives make and break down which wife has played the game the best over the past almost two decades that the entire franchise has been in our lives. Hint: She is still on her respective show. Garcelle Beauvais sets boundaries for RHOBH Season 14, John and Alexis get engaged and Shannon continues to shine seemingly ,outwardly unbothered by it all.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)    GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

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

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

Melissa Gorga claims that she will not return to RHONJ if “dark”, “toxic” Teresa returns. Simultaneously, headlines have emerged that Teresa and Melissa have called a truce to save their high salaries and have now, after the most toxic, lowest rated season in RHONJ history, finally decided to bury their pride and work together to return for RHONJ Season 15. We break down these claims, statements and headlines separating fact from fiction regarding the future of our beloved franchise. Margaret claims the Tre we knew is gone, cares about nothing and the only person who can get through to her is Louie. Tamra Judge claims Danielle Cabral got physical with her brother’s wife, denies she ever said it and now has shifted the focus to herself as “victim”. Joey Gorga hosts a live show, tries to be funny, entertains claims from Frank Catania and upsets Rachel Fuda who demands the toxicity has all gone too far.

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

Elizabeth discusses her RHOC cast mates Emily, Gina, Shannon and last but certainly not least, Kelly Dodd. Elizabeth also chats Orange Holders - Megan King, Gretchen Rossi, Jesus Juggs Bellino, Gina Keough, Lynne Curtin, Heather Dubrow, Miss Victoria Gunvalson and Tamra.  Finally, Elizabeth addresses the many misconceptions she feels viewers have about her, how she would like to be remembered from her one season, and much more as we share this blast from the past chat to celebrate this return to form great season of RHOC! @elizabethlynvargas @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Any Tasker For Any Task) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

Andy Cohen slams Bethenny Frankel and defends Carole Radziwill in a strange turn of events we never thought we would see.  Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler part ways for good, Jennifer Aydin slams Bravo for their double standard - her words, not ours and Gia takes a larger role in the potential future of RHONJ. Lala and Scheana film The Valley, LVP heads to Vegas, Something About Her spin off rumors emerge and we ask, what about the Toms? All this and more as we settle in for a sunny day of shade. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Any Tasker For Any Task) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

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

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

Fernanda Rocha steps Behind The Rope. You know, official RHOC “Friend Of”, that is. Fernanda chats about her time on RHOC, cast mates Vicki and Tamra and some of our other fav, and not so fav, Orange Holders - Heather Dubrow, Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador.  Of course, she also dated former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke which, at the time, went viral. Fernanda chats about meeting Braunwyn, how their relationship went from friendship to dating, the timeline of that relationship in regards to Fernanda’s divorce from her ex-wife, the public scrutiny their relationship received and more. With this stellar season 18 of RHOC underway, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Fernanda Rocha.  @fernandarochafitness @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HERS- forhers.com/velvet (For Your Personalized Weight Loss Treatment Options)  BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Visit One of Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 1400+ Locations or Order Online or Through Their App Their Summer Mocktail Smoothies) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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

With Real Housewife Franchises on the decline, Bravo turns to past housewives and similar concepts with new shows green lit or in development to be pitched. From The Housewife Dating show with Luann, Giselle, Ashley and Shannon to Dorinda’s Blue Stone Manor Vanderpump Villa concept, Snowbirds which might as well be called Palm Beach Housewives and more, we break down all the new shows and concepts that are in the mix at Bravo.  Next, we address the rumors that Reality Von Tease will be back on RHOSLC, share new tea about the future of Vanderpump Rules and give updates on Ariana and Lala’s fall out.  Finally, we chat this season of RHOC - Tamra’s biggest lie, Vicki’s awkward return. Newbie Katie’s attempt to make her mark, Alexis Bellino’s transformation to “fun Lexi”, Archie Beador’s role, Shannon’s ability to face her problems head on without facing them at all and much, much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

With RHONJ Season 13 a distant memory, or at least a thing of the past, Louie Ruelas continues to make statements, claims and everything and anything in between as we try to forget the epic fail that was RHONJ Season 14.  In other news, RHOBH is on fire. Garcelle reveals we may be preparing for the Bit$h season of Dorit Kemsley, Kyle’s cast mates are over her, Jennifer Tilley compares the RHOBH master class to working with Scorsese, Sutton brings the heat, Kathy is in rare form and so much more as we wind down filming and prepare for our fav diamond holders to return to our screens later this year.  Finally, Vicki Gunvalson seems to be having an identity crisis, Tamra Judge gets meaner by the week and Shannon Beador continues to reign supreme on this return to form season of RHOC. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

This toxic season of RHONJ may have ended with a bang thanks to Louie Ruelas’ claims against Margaret and her family, but the toxicity off line is boiling over in excess. Thanks to Louie's on line apology, deleted scenes, fake scenes, Andy Cohen’s warnings to Louie, Teresa and Louie’s love fest podcast and last, but certainly not least, Louie’s comments about thongs, skin, short skirts and Tre’s daughters, there is more happening off air since last night’s watch party than the whole entire season.  Jennifer Aydin refusing to accept her fate, Danielle Cabral making it clear she loves her husband, the fans giving it to Jackie as they urge for a Margaret redemption tour, a calm cool Melissa and more more. Spilling more tea that we have never heard before, Melissa’s Old Nose addresses rumors she is paid by Marge, explains how she still knows so much about Tre and which other franchise she expects to work for now that RHONJ is over for a very long, if not indefinite, time. @rhonjteabee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Thanks to Louie's on line apology, deleted scenes, fake scenes, Andy Cohen’s warnings to Louie, Teresa and Louie’s love fest podcast and last, but certainly not least, Louie’s comments about thongs, skin, short skirts and Tre’s daughters, there is more happening off air since last night’s watch party than the whole entire season.  Jennifer Aydin refusing to accept her fate, Danielle Cabral making it clear she loves her husband, the fans giving it to Jackie as they urge for a Margaret redemption tour, a calm cool Melissa and more more. Spilling more tea that we have never heard before, Melissa’s Old Nose returns to close out this RHONJ season as we prepare for a very long, if not indefinite as we know it, pause. @rhonjteabee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands)  BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

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

Love Island has just had its highest rated season ever. The Ariana effect is in full effect, no pun intended, as it is looking less and less likely that she will return to Vanderpump Rules.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8. The physical altercation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has finally arrived. We break down the hair drama and other facts that led up to the altercation, break down a play by play and discuss who we think is to blame for this mess of a Troubled Tulum party.  We discuss Tre’s claims that she is using Jackie to take down Marge, Rachel Fuda’s claims that Jackie is the laughing stock of Bravo, Dolores’ savage breakup with Jackie and Margaret enjoying it all just a little too much.

We chat cast mates - Kim, Shereé, Nene Leakes and many of our other fav Peach Holders past and present - Kandi, Cynthia, Porsche and Kenya! Grab your peaches and take a listen. @deshawnsnow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef  BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) BADLANDS PETS - SUPERFOOD COMPLETE - badlandsranch.com/Velvet  (50% Off Your Regular-Priced Order w/ a 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee on Dog Food Vital To Your Dog’s Health) CROCS - crocs.com (20% Off Crocs’ New Brooklyn, Miami & Getaway Sandals with Code Sandals20) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) THIS WAS US (Check Out This New Podcast As The Cast of This Is Us Relives Each Episode Every Tuesday on Apple, Spotify and YouTube) TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Visit One of Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 1400+ Locations or Order Online or Through Their App Their Summer Mocktail Smoothies) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) 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 Season 14, Episode 6.  It is official. We are at the half way mark and Teresa and Louie have finally sat down with Rachel and John Fuda.  Apologies, rejections of apologies, name calling and another epic storm out but this wouldn’t be RHONJ without a good table flip or walk out.  We break down the episode - Dolo wants a ring, Cabral heads to Fashion Week, Marge the Sarge does charity work, Messy G lays low, Fessler and Aydin have fun and sip margs, Jackie and Tre grow closer and much, much more.  Our favorite guest, Teresa Giudice, as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all this drama and all that has been going on behind the scenes off air in the dirty jerz. After that, for all you wonderful Patreons who have been asking, yes, as a huge thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin we share our live show from the other week where no question was off limits and where we could not plead  the fifth. Of course the REAL reason for past RHONJ friendship breakups was the top question we received and yea, it was time to set the record straight. #enjoy @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

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

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

Jackie Tohn steps Behind The Rope. Best known for her breakout performance as Melanie “Melrose” Rosen on Netflix’s award winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece “Glow”, Jackie stops by to share it all.  Early in her career Jackie appeared on many of our favorite shows such as “The Sopranos”, “Veronica Mars”, “Strangers With Candy”, not the least of which was “The Nanny”, in which she played a young Fran Drescher. She talks famous friends such as Kristen Bell and Jessica Biel, comedic inspiration Joan Rivers and appearing on the iconic Howard Stern Show. Jackie also chats about her singing abilities, those abilities which led her to the semi finals on “American Idol” and Bravo’s very own “Platinum Hit” (Kara DioGuardi, we see you!). Jackie shares stories from behind the scenes on Glow, chats about the disappointment when Season 4 was indefinitely shelved due to lockdown and hints at what the future holds for the un-filmed season and possible Glow movie (what a wish!).  We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jackie Tohn. @jackietohn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84)  TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Kick off your summer on May 29th for National Flip Flop Day® with a FREE 12 oz.

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

Jackie Beard Robinson steps Behind The Rope.  Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC.  Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more.  We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back.   To Purchase Jackie’s Book, “Money, Lies and The Housewives”, click here: bit.ly/47uSu6d @jackiebeardrobinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CROCS - crocs.com (20% Off Crocs’ New Brooklyn, Miami & Getaway Sandals with Code Sandals20) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices)  ASTEPRO - asteproallergy.com (Get Fast Acting Nasal Allergy Symptom Relief with Astepro.

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

Koa Johnson steps Behind The Rope.  If that name sounds familiar to you it is because he is the designer that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah was seen berating in the leaked viral video way back when.  Koa’s name has resurfaced recently in relation to Monica Garcia and Reality Von Tease. Were the signs there? Is this chat foreshadowing several years in the making? Koa starts at the beginning explaining how, where, when, and why he came to work for RHOSLC’s Jen Shah.  Koa details what their working relationship was like as designer and official Shah Squad member which, if you have seen the video, you know was not all that pleasant.  Speaking of the viral video, Koa chats about when it was taken, what caused Jen Shah to lose her sh&t, who else was in the room and, whether this type of behavior was a common occurrence, and just who does he think leaked the video to the media.  Koa explains the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment with Jen, why he never spoke out about their working relationship before, the long term effects their time together has had on him, what he would like to say to Jen and his recommendations to Bravo and her fellow RHOSLC cast members going forward in regards to Jen.  We share this never before publicly aired chat today with the one and only Koa Johnson.  @designerkojo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 310 NUTRITION - 310nutrition.com (50% Off Up To $100 w/ Code Velvetrope on the Best Hydration, All-in-One Shakes & Refreshing Lemonade Mixes) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.

Lala slams Ariana, Tom attempts to make peace with Ariana by speaking directly to her and new BF Daniel, Scheana struggles with forgiving Tom while still remaining loyal to Ariana, Jo is bullied and everything comes to a head in the much expected Tom Sandoval redemption season. As Schwartzy said, "plot twist", or is it?

Bravocon 2024 has been cancelled.  Why would one of Bravo’s most successful components be cancelled? We answer this question in light of decreased Housewife ratings, multiple lawsuits, Housewife city delays a la RHONJ, Dubai and RHONY, an RHOM several month - at best, for now - pause, lack of an RHOA cast even with Porsha returning, Teresa and Melissa unsustainably - to use Andy’s word - not speaking to each other at all, an RHOP season which has concluded with a beyond fractured cast and much, much more.

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

Odd Mom Out’s Sean Kleier steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Lex Von-Weber from Bravo’s classic scripted series Odd Mom Out. So many questions, so little time. Sean chats with us about how he originally met series creator Jill Kargman. Based on her book Momzillas, Odd Mom out chronicled the wealthy mommy clique that resides in New York’s prestigious Upper East Side. Sean explains the casting process, what attracted him to the role of Lex Von-Weber and how much fun it was to act on this Bravo series each week for three years. Part of that fun was due to costarring with, not only Jill Kargman, but the brilliant Abby Elliot and Icon Joanna Cassidy. Sean chats about off camera shenanigans between cast members, why the show ended and where he thinks Lex Von-Weber would be today. Of course, having been on Bravo, we chat about Sean’s own experience with our friends “The Real Housewives” and of course Mr. Andy Cohen and his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance. We also chat about Odd Mom Out’s multitude of guest stars including, but not limited to, Jill’s sister in law at the time, Drew Barrymore! We figured today a great day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Sean Kleier.  @seankleier @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMECHEF -  HomeChef.com/VelvetRope (18 Free Meals, Pus Free Shipping On Your First Box, and Free Dessert For Life) ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) NOOM - noom.com (Sign Up For Your Trial Today So You Can Manage Your Weight For The Long Term) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) LIFEMD - lifemd.com/VELVET (Visit lifemd.com/VELVET To Start Your Weight Loss Journey Today) SPECTRUM RESORTS - spectrumresorts.com (Start Your Vacation Today) 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.

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

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

Kandi Burruss has exited RHOA. We break down Kandi’s announcement, the truth behind her departure, the BravoVerse’s reaction, Andy Cohen’s thoughts and what this means for the future of RHOA. Is RHOA headed for a total reboot RHONY style? Is Porsha really in talks to return for a Kenya vs. Porsha season? Is Phaedra Parks on her way to win The Traitors with the help of Parvati, continue to moonlight on Married to Med and make a full time return as a peach holder now that Kandi is no longer in her way? Is Zolciak still way too messy for the execs at Bravo and NBC? All these burning questions and more answered!!! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kiki Barth steps Behind The Rope.  She’s baaack to chat about this season of RHOM and what a season it has been. Larsa has spread Guerdy’s cancer diagnosis without permission, Lisa and Lenny are still in the midst of a nasty divorce, Julia has learned Opera, Adriana is still on the outs with Alexia and Marysol, Nicole is still rich AF and oh so much more. There has been a lot of drama off camera too. If you haven’t heard, Adriana and Alexia had one epic airport meltdown on the way back from BravoCon which Kiki witnessed.  Kiki is here to help us break it all down, make sense of it all, spill the tea on the upcoming RHOM reunion and what we can expect as the rest of the season chugs along. As we like to say, Kiki mentioned it all. @kikibarth @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/bike/rentals (Wherever You’re Starting, Get Moving With a Peloton Bike or Bike+ Rental.)
