BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

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

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

Teresa Giudice released a statement towards the end of last week urging the toxicity, attacks and hate of and from the on line RHONJ community to stop. First, we analyze and break down Teresa’s statement line by line. Next, we discuss who really wrote this statement, the motivation behind the statement, the parts we deemed authentic - if any and the parts we deemed inauthentic - if any. Then we discuss the public’s reaction to the statement, the effect, if any, the statement has had, Melissa Gorga’s response to the statement and Rachel Fuda’s response to the statement. Finally, we discuss the upcoming alternate reunion, how we really got to this toxic place on RHONJ, the very long, if not indefinite, upcoming pause and whose jobs we expect to be eliminated when this season quickly comes to a close in two weeks. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: YA-MAN - www.ya-manusa.com (20% Off With Code BTVR To Experience the Future of Beauty) 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 [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 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. Lala shows a baby shower, Jax claims to have slept with both Ramona and Brandi Glanville, Rachel Leviss scores wins in court and the VPR pause remains in full effect as there is no discussion amongst Producers, Bravo or the fans about when and if this show will return.

Monica Garcia steps Behind The Rope. Reality Von Tease is in the house! The woman behind THE most exciting moment, season, scene, development in Housewives History since, well, Teresa’s table flip over a decade ago. Receipts, Proof, Timeline, Screenshots. We cover fu$king everything. Monica takes us through it all clarifying what were various still confusing timelines of how she went from fan to an actual bona fide breakout superstar Real Housewife on RHOSLC Season 4. We talk about the true facts behind her current “cooling off” period, personal life, tumultuous relationship with her mom, upcoming RHOSLC Season 5, Dita Von Teese, rumors of a Lisa vs Whitney feud - again and where the once great, then not so great, then best season ever of Salt Lake goes next now that she is no longer part of the journey. Finally, bringing it back to where it all started, we break down the Jen Shah of it all, what she would say to Jen - and RHOSLC cast - today, what she would like to have happen in five years when Ms. Shah is expected to be a free woman and much, much more! @monicanikigarcia @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: KALM WITH KAVA - kalmwithkava.com/podcast (Use Code VELVETROPE10 for Your First Purchase of the Ultimate Relaxation Beverage) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) 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) BETTERHELP - betterhelp.com/velvetrope (This Episode Is Brought To You By BetterHelp.

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino steps Behind The Rope. RHOC is back in our lives after a stellar return to form Season Premiere for Season 18. The Season Premiere brought us many things, none the least of which was the long awaited return of Alexis Bellino. We could think of no better blast from the RHOC past chat to share today than this gem chat with Alexis. Back before Johnny J, before her return. As you listen, ask yourself, does this seem like the same Alexis we see before us back on RHOC today? Of course, we also chat current cast mates Tamra, Heather, Emily, Gina and Shannon as well as cast mates from the past, Gretchen, Vicki and more. We talk Jim Bellino, the infamous lawsuit which Shannon claims is the root of all of their current day problems and last, but certainly not least, the epic moniker thanks to Tamra of “Jesus Juggs”. @alexis_bellino @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) 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!
