BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Still recovering from our night at the annual Homeless Not Toothless Gala, we recall our run ins with all of your fav Diamond Holders and deep dive just why Kathy Hilton was not in attendance and just why she has not, and is likely to not, be a part of this upcoming RHOBH currently filming season. We spill the tea and chat about what drama has already occurred and what drama we can expect now that the show is about half way done with the new season. In other news, we discuss Tamra vs. Teresa, ponder the new seasons of RHOC and RHOA, debate Ozempic again now that we have been featured in The Wall Street Journal on the topic and reveal all of our plans to Bet on Blond when Erika Jayne begins her Vegas residency later this year. Hey, now that we are Tri-Coastal, Vegas is only a hop, skip and jump away. Finally, with the Scandoval still underway, we break down all the latest updates. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99) WONDERY - (Follow “Even The Rich” Wherever You Get Your Podcasts.

Jerry Springer. A trailblazer. The first. An Icon. A man who at one time was more famous than Oprah. The Godfather of Reality TV. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jerry not once but twice to chat about his prolific career. Today we share both of these chats as we look back and honor Jerry’s life well lived. Jerry chats about the full anthology of his career which, of course, includes the groundbreaking Jerry Springer Show and all those trailblazing disputes, wig pulls, accusations, cheating rumors, paternity issues and everything else under the sun that laid the groundwork for The Real Housewives of every city which we have come to know and love today. Jerry recalls highlights, outrageous guests and some of the most shocking moments. We chat with Jerry about current day Reality TV and his role in helping create the landscape of Housewives, Fiancés That Last for 90 Days and Love that Comes After Being Locked Up and / or Happens on an Island. Jerry also opens up about the current offerings of Daytime TV - Ellen, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd - his favorites, not so favorites and how cancel culture has come to play a role in it all. We pay homage to some of Jerry’s other forays into television - a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, a judge on America’s Got Talent, playing himself on Roseanne and his recent short lived star turn as The Beetle on Fox’s super hit The Masked Singer. Jerry reflects back on a career most can only dream of discussing highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of himself, his legacy and how he wants to be remembered. Let’s all chant it together.

Jill Zarin. The Woman. The Myth. The Legend. Everyone always asks us where to find the episode that way back, in another lifetime, once caused a riff between Ms. Zarin and ourselves. A riff that has since been talked about, squashed, moved on from and not revisited. Not revisited except for today where we share another classic lost on the back feed. This is the episode which caused national headlines of epic proportion which Ms. Zarin was not pleased with. Now y’all can listen and stop asking where it is on the back feed.

Speaking of RHOP, we deep dive why Miss Candiace Dillard Bassett is carrying that entire franchise on her back, the joys of “Deep Space” and what we can expect as she heads out on a nationwide tour later this year. Finally, much like fantasy football, we break down our ideal fantasy RHUGT All Stars Cast just in case Bravo ever asks us. C’mon, you know they will.

Dee Snider steps Behind The Rope. Dee chats about what it was like to front Twisted Sister, one of the biggest Metal bands to emerge from the 80s and have two of the biggest Rock Anthems of all time, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”. Dee gives his nod of approval for current music and chats Beyonce, Katy Perry, Pink and Christina Aguilera and one epic Diva who does not make the list. Dee talks the rock star lifestyle, taking on Tipper Gore and The PMRC, being the first “Drag Queen” a la heels, rouge and heavy eye makeup before it was “en vogue”, accepted or Drag Race was even a mere thought and why certain artists like Lady Gaga should, and probably would, pay homage to “the first”, and why Twisted Sister is not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Finally Dee talks reality TV - Growing Up Twisted, Celebrity Apprentice and his recent star turn as “Doll” on The Masked Singer. @deesnider @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Start Hiring Now.

Never judge a book by its cover. When I sat down to prepare for this chat with then Vanderpump Rules newcomer, Charli Burnett, I said what the F am I going to talk to her about. She had been on the screen maybe 5 mins max up to that point. Boy have I never been so wrong. This interview took place right around the time Stassi and Kristen were infamously fired. This chat turned out to be an expose of hazing the new girl by what Charlie called the “mean girls” - Stassi, Kristen, Katie and last, but certainly not least, Jax and LVP’s involvement in it all. The more Charli talked, the more specific examples of mean girl behavior she gave, the more I could move believe my ears. Do yourself a favor, do not google this viral chat until after you have listened! We are thrilled to share this blast from the past here with you today. @charliburnett @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Start Hiring Now.

Newsflash! We are in the midst of a Scandoval. We deep dive how the Scandoval has brought Jax and Brittany (new podcast alert), Stassi (new tour alert) and Kristen (VPR cameo alert) back into the forefront of our lives as if they never left and discuss whether, in light of where “cancel culture”, to the extent there even is still a thing, is today, any of the aforementioned would be terminated by Bravo if they could do it all over and reverse the hands of time. Moving on to the P, Juan Dixon is not having a good few weeks. We share our hot takes on his termination from coaching, the women that have spoken out against him, the women he has recently been photographed with, the ever circulating claims that he and Robyn have a fake marriage for her RHOP paycheck and last, but certainly not least, whether Robyn will be given a pink slip when RHOP casting is announced very soon.

With all this talk about the RHOC trailer dropping any day now, we figured it was a great time to share this hidden gem from our back feed with Heather and Terry Dubrow. Right before Heather announced she was returning to RHOC, we sat down with both and of course asked, “would you ever return?” Were the clues here, did she know, did they know they were soon going to sell Chateau Dubrow and most important of all, how excited are y’all for the return of RHOC and Tamra Judge.

Before we get to today’s regularly scheduled RHONJ recap, Kim D. comes in hot to chat about all the real life drama happening with The Gorgas - and other cast members - in the real world. With The Gorgas serving Bravo Bloggers with Cease and Desist Orders, being asked by Bravo to “gag” what they say and stop the toxic interviews and being subjected to and faced with a Change.org on line petition to “Fire Melissa Gorga”, Kim shares her hot takes on whether Melissa is acting scared knowing it is the last season of her $1.5 million dollar paycheck or a smart business woman just trying to protect her financial future. With rumored friendship break ups all over the Garden State and Big Apple, Kim turns her attention to one of the most awkward episodes in Housewives History a la Luis Ruelas, a $250K business deal steeped in delusion and bad math and, once again, two newbies Cabral and Fuda who have come correct to play, who mean business and who have already made their lasting impression on fans worldwide in just a few short episodes.

Raquel Leviss has us confused. Normally we can read people from here til Sunday but Raquel remains a mystery to us. As our good friend Lala Kent says, “you cannot be dumb and smart at the same time”. On that note, we share our hot takes on whether Raquel is a brilliant mastermind who has manifested her destiny into one of the most recognizable names in Reality TV villain history or a wounded little bird who is a victim of a not ideal upbringing just looking for love, or comfort, in all the wrong places. In addition, we deep dive whether Raquel is scared to go outside and film more Vanderpump Rules’ scenes than the one she already filmed with Sandoval or is purposely holding out for a huge pay day to return next season and / or to attend the sure to be highest rated reunion in VPR history. Finally, taking a break from The Scandoval of it all, we break down all the Real Housewives, Reality TV Stars and Iconic Hollywood legends who have blocked us over the years and explain exactly why.

Everyone’s favorite King, Carlos that is, returns to chat about all that keeps us up at night in the BravoVerse. With Lisa Rinna out of RHOBH, we look ahead to next season - what will the franchise be like without Lisa, who will step forward and take the much needed villain role, will Rinna ever admit she was terminated, allegedly, and last, but certainly not least, where and when will Kathy Hilton enter the picture and start filming this new season. Heading east, we chat RHONY - Legacy & Reboot and break down why Alex McCord really returned to the Bravo World to film RHUGT 4 and what we can expect from this “wild card” when and if the much publicized fourth installment ever makes its way to be seen. Finally, Carlos weighs in on what we expect to be Melissa Gorga’s last season, discusses why Teresa is really a changed woman these days, why the decade old Tre vs Mel feud is finally over and where RHONJ goes moving forward.

With all this Scandoval talk, we cannot help but reminisce about the early days of Vanderpump Rules. Reminiscing about the early days of VPR makes us reminisce about the early days of Bravo which makes us reminisce about many of the early gone, but not forgotten, Bravo shows. One of those shows is Real Housewives of DC. Today we share this gem from our back catalogue with one of the five RHODC cast members, Mary Amons. Mary chats about her time on the show, cast mates and the difficulties of casting a show with wives in the political sector. Of course, the conversation turns to the infamous Salahi White House crash and the implications, not only for them, but the entire Real Housewives of DC cast, franchise and Bravo as a network from this one event. Did you know RHODC production was shut down for several weeks while Congress and The White House launched a thorough investigation into this breach of US security. Luckily the show went on, bringing us 5 amazing women who have earned their place in Housewives history as one of the only Bravo shows ever involved in a nationwide political scandal.

Now that we are in the thick of the RHOM reunion, we figured it time to reflect upon this stellar season breaking down all the season drama, break ups, make ups, more break ups and how we move forward with a cast divided as the reunion moves on and we prepare to head into Season Six.

Guerdy breaks down reunion drama, chats BravoCon run ins with other Housewives and what is next for this Miami power house party planner who does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. @guerdydesign @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99) AIR DOCTOR PRO - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET for Up To 40% Off Depending On The Model You Choose) DRIZLY - drizly.com (Buy Beer, Wine & Liquor All From One Website) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Try Peloton Tread Risk Free With a 30 Day Home Trial) 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.

Tom and Ariana broke up. The BravoVerse, mainstream media and world seem to want to talk about nothing else but this breakup twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. When we had Jeremy Madix on the show, we talked sister Ariana, Tom, and constant bed hopping of all of our fav then Sur employees. What did Jeremy think of Tom way back when? Were there signs of a doomed relationship between sister Ariana and Tom? Was is clear back then to Jeremy this would not last? Did this age well from our original chat (July 10, 2020) or is this chat so cringe to listen to today knowing the outcome of this, at that time, so in love couple whose biggest concern was their Fancy AF cocktail book. Only one way to find out. Press Play. @jeremymadix @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DRIZLY - drizly.com (Buy Beer, Wine & Liquor All From One Website) GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99) AIR DOCTOR PRO - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET for Up To 40% Off Depending On The Model You Choose) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Try Peloton Tread Risk Free With a 30 Day Home Trial) 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.

Kim D. has been hitting the streets hard this week. The streets of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey that is where she spied a major remodel on the Gorga’s newly finished house. Hmm, seems fishy for a just finished house which has been “on display” on Instagram 24/7. Kim seemed to think so too which led her to a little digging and she has decided to reveal the shocking revelations of her investigation here today. Lucky us. Moving on, Kim breaks down both Tre and Jennifer Aydin’s recent therapy sessions from this past week of RHONJ and shares her advice moving forward to both of these lovely Garden State gals. Kim breaks down Cabral vs. Josephs, talks Dolo storyline and reveals the one “wild card” person who could actually save Melissa Gorga’s job next season. Finally, Kim chats all the developments in this week’s Scandoval, shares her thoughts on what she now thinks about Raquel, Tom and Ariana and chats the upcoming Vanderpump Rules reunion and how, even by Zoom, both Scheana and Raquel can be involved. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/80072775/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom and Ariana broke up. The BravoVerse, mainstream media and world seem to want to talk about nothing else but this breakup twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Although we do not necessarily agree with that sentiment, here we are deep diving and sharing all of our hot takes as we break down all the events which led up to this break up, Tom and Raquel’s recent “formal” statements, the reaction of Vanderpump cast members, Andy Cohen and LVP, the “revenge porn” ban, cease and desist letters, retraining orders and last, but certainly not least, what this means for the future of VPR and true possibility of past cast members Jax, Stassi and or Kristen returning - yes rumors are Kristen is in talks. Next we deal with the BravoVerse’s obsession with this particular event asking the basic question, why? Finally with cameras picked back up for filming, we discuss how the show is being re-edited, revamped and what we can expect to see amidst all the rumors as we head into a reunion which is about to be filmed in 3,2,1! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DRIZLY - drizly.com (Buy Beer, Wine & Liquor All From One Website) OUAI - theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.
