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. How exciting. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RHOSLC continues on with Mary’s participation, Whitney and Meredith growing farther apart, Bronwyn making the rounds and much more. Katie Maloney is in love, Jen Shah’s release date is moved up again and RHONY continues on with highs, lows and everything in between. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

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 [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Speaking of Teresa, we discuss the first episode of The Villains, Tiffany “New York” Pollard vs. Tre, the rumors that Teresa told Bloggers, here we go again, that she did not win and what to expect the rest of this season knowing RHONJ does not take the crown. Joel Kim Booster issues an apology to Shannon Beador after slamming her regarding her on set “Love Hotel” behavior, we analyze the authenticity of that apology and discuss why people are slowing starting to turn on this season’s RHOC darling, Miss Beador. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

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

What have we done to be so blessed to have three Housewives shows on at the same time. RHOP Returns with a bang, literally, a la The Grand Dame’s car crash and DUI. Gizelle comes to the rescue, seemingly, Mia reveals a lot, Wendy quits her Professorship, Ashley starts to date and much, much more. RHONY episode two drops with shocks, surprises and Scientology a la Rebecca Minkoff. RHOSLC plugs along with more bath balms, Mary-isms and surprise ups and downs. The Villains premieres with Teresa Giudice front and center. Teresa tells a few new lies, slams Anna Delvey and explains how and why Villains is different than RHONJ.

We break down Stassi’s strange set of circumstances with VPR, Producers and Bravo and discuss her, and other Reality Stars’ comebacks over the years.

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

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

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

RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 2. Craziness, all stars, over the top fashion and more. Mary Cosby, like Ramona Singer, has no problem looking someone in the face - in this case newbie Britani - and telling them she just does not care at all whatsoever about them. Ahh Mary Ramona Singer Stinger Cosby is in the house. Angie K., still emotional over getting the center snowflake, shows up and shows out but Miss Barlow reminds us that it is way too late to change in your late 40s. Amen to that, no pun intended. Meredith gives us McSweeney, Leah vibes announcing her upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Seth is excited and the bath balm biz is off to the races. We smell a few fake storylines, have heard some off air rumors - and nastiness - and much more. 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.

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

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

Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. Many years ago we had Elizabeth on right after her one season wonder ended on RHOC. With so much going on this current season, we figured it the best time to sit down and chat with Elizabeth again. 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. For everyone who wants to check out Elizabeth’s Podcast, it can be found under “Elizabeth Lyn Vargas TV” wherever you get your podcasts! @elizabethlynvargas @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!!)

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

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps back Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, her relationships and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses that cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow and much more. All this and we are only getting started as today we deemed the perfect day to share this blast from the past Part II chat with the one and only Braunwyn. @braunwynwindhamburke @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) 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) 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 [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
