BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

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.

The Real Housewives of Orange County's Lynne Curtin steps Behind The Rope. Lynne takes us back to when she was first cast to step behind the gates of Coto de Caza in Season Four of the hit Bravo show. 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that last season of RHONJ is a thing of the past and most, if not all, of the cast has stopped doing interviews, we have had a chance to reflect on the future of RHONJ. We continue our chat from earlier this week. Taking everything into account - Andy’s comments, the cast’s comments, everything that is rumored to be going on off air with the cast and bloggers, the rumored salaries of each of the cast members and last, but certainly not least, what each of you has posted on line expressing extreme love or intensive dislike for certain cast members, we slow it down, relax, and lay out what we think is going to happen for the future of this show.

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. All this and more in this RHONJ afternoon hot topic quick hit. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now that last season of RHONJ is a thing of the past and most, if not all, of the cast has stopped doing interviews, we have had a chance to reflect on the future of RHONJ. Taking everything into account - Andy’s comments, the cast’s comments, everything that is rumored to be going on off air with the cast and bloggers, the rumored salaries of each of the cast members and last, but certainly not least, what each of you has posted on line expressing extreme love or intensive dislike for certain cast members, we slow it down, relax, and lay out what we think is going to happen for the future of this show. From reboot rumors, to cast changes, spinoffs and the possibility that the show will never be back, we cover it all. Who will stay? Who will go?

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

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. First things first, we chat with Elizabeth about her RHOC experience - the good, the bad, the other and what it is like to join the likes of Former Orange holder Peggy Sulahian and many others from various cities as part of the “One Season Wonder” Club. We address many fans’ criticism of her ill fated Season 15 as “the worst in Housewives History” and break down exactly where and why it all went off the rails. 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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.

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!

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!

Where has Fessler been the past 14 years of our lives? We discuss it all, play by play, from this explosive finale, explain new updates of what has been happening off line and prepare for the alternate reunion tomorrow night.
