The RHONJ Trailer has dropped a few weeks ago and now with RHOBH finally over, we can react and share all our thoughts on what we saw. There is some good news, some bad news and some very fake news.

We are riled up today and hold nothing back. In other news, we detail our almost near run in with Teresa and Luis this week in West Hollywood at Casa Madera at the Mondrian Hotel. We break that down, Luis' epic week in Bev Hills while Tre was filming The Villains and explain why Tre is not at all in a good mood this week. Lot's of drama amongst Bravo bloggers. Hey, don’t look at us. Shockingly, this week it ain’t our fault. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Jo De La Rosa, one of the OGs of the OC, steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning of it all, Season One, Episode One of The Real Housewives of Orange Country. Jo explains how she got cast in the freshman installment of the juggernaut franchise. The answer is not at all what you would expect. We talk about what filming was like for Jo, considering she had nothing to compare it to with The Hills, The Real World and The Simple Life being some of her only predecessors to turn to. We discuss some of Jo’s highlights from her time on RHOC, wanting to not be a “kept woman”, those dramatic always happening fights with then fiancé Slade Smiley, and that infamous French Maid's costume. Speaking of Slade, Jo discusses the end of her relationship with him and how she felt when he went on to date Fellow RHOC Housewives Lauri Peterson and Gretchen Rossi, who he is still with to this day. Jo discusses some of her past co-stars such as Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough and how and why she decided to leave the show for life in Los Angeles. She also discusses her short lived follow up classic Bravo Show “Date My Ex: Jo & Slade”. We also discuss how she is not only the youngest housewife to ever be a part of the franchise (she was 24 when she joined, yes 24) but also how she was the first Housewife to ever have a hit song (fun fact: she worked with Erika Jayne's Creative Director, Mikey Minden, on the Video / Tour Choreography). We discuss her fellow Housewives Songstresses Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Erica Jayne, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Kandi Burruss and Melissa Gorga. We figured today was the day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Joe De La Rosa. @jodelarosaa @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) LIFEMD - lifemd.com/VELVET (Visit lifemd.com/VELVET To Start Your Weight Loss Journey Today) 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.

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.

Growing up, Jenny had run in and interactions with the likes of Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Vanilla Ice.

Martha and Jenny’s Dad starred on a little known reality show called “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart” where one of Jenny’s college friends, Bethenny Frankel, became a Martha hopeful. Jenny enlightens us with what Bethenny was like in college and how even way back when, she was determined to know and have it all. Like we said, stories for days.
