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

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

Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriella - steps back Behind The Rope. She’s baaack and so is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Gabriella is here to help break down the stellar trailer, the upcoming season - Dorit vs. Kyle, Dorit vs. Sutton, Sutton vs Kyle, newbies Jennifer Tilly and Boz, Kyle & Mo’s separation, Kyle & Morgan, Dorit & PK’s separation, the joys of Sutton Stracke and what it is like to watch a Housewives show with no specific teams where the women are actually rich, really, really rich. Speaking of teams, with Gabriella here, the convo turns to RHONJ. We discuss Jennifer Aydin’s reaction and likely future once she finds out she is not returning to RHONJ, why TreStumps are still angry with Dolo, why Dolores would never “work” with Bloggers the way Tre and Aydin “allegedly” did, why Tre and Aydin have still not “learned”, what Teresa told her about her brother Joey Gorga, Andy Cohen’s true feelings about Joey G, when we are expected to hear about the future of RHONJ, who is most likely returning and what she has heard about casting and potential newbies.

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.

Vicki opens up about many of her much publicized relationships that we have seen and heard so much about on air and behind the scenes - Don, Brooks and Steve.

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.

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.

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.

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.
