BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

And Round One of The Epic Three Part RHONJ Season Thirteen Reunion goes to….? Teresa? Melissa? Does anyone or anything else even matter? Kim D. is here to deep dive and share her hot takes on this epic showdown, who came out ahead, where she thinks Bravo and the franchise need to go from here and whether each side - Mel and Tre - are really, really done with each other. In other reunion news, Kim chats TreStumps - that you very much Margaret, Cabral vs Fuda, the humor and sometimes failed humor of Ms. Aydin, the wise words and wisdom of Dolo and, oh, so much more. In real life news, Kim chats an angry Bo Dietl, damage control by Andy Cohen, a Melissa Gorga NYC run in, more mounting legal woes for Luis Ruelas and a quiet as a church mouse cast that sat there in real time watching their potential RHONJ future slip away as Tre and Mel slowly put a few more nails in the ten year old coffin. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen To Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83842847/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

With brand deals rumored to be worth $75,000 to $200,000 a pop, we deep dive whether the Vanderpump Rules cast, fans or Lisa Vanderpump still feel bad for Ariana, when and if those tides will turn, the potential fall out from that shift and what the future looks like for Ariana, Tom and Raquel both on and off VPR. We share our hot takes on the VPR Pause, how it will eventually be solved, when we expect Pump cameras to pick back up for Season Eleven, who will be in and out and what we expect to be different when the show returns. Finally, we discuss Lisa Rinna’s recent claims that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is a “stupid” show, her visions of Lois telling her to resign, her conflicting exit stories, her social media block and whether she misses RHOBH way more than she is letting on. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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 Randall Scandal: Love, Loathing and Vanderpump. We break down our appearance in, and involvement with, this ABC / Hulu Documentary, what we learned about Randall, the most egregious things Randall has done, our very own BTS Randall Scandal and what this all means for Lala and Ocean’s future. Speaking of the future, we discuss the just wrapped Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Thirteen - Kyle’s White Party, Erika Jayne’s Performance, Denise Richards’ Drama and so much more of what we can expect next season when RHOBH returns to our air ways. Meanwhile over on the east coast one show that will not be returning anytime soon, RHONJ. We break down the pause, explain why every single cast member’s job is on the line, discuss how we think the Melissa vs. Teresa problem will be solved and when, realistically, we can expect our fav Garden State ladies to resume filming. Finally we discuss the RHONY Reboot, RHONY RHUGT, Bethenny’s involvement and whether Ramona Singer really, truly, possibly could not know who Kristen Taekman is. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

Jai Rodriguez steps back Behind The Rope. The man originally known to the masses, or at least us Bravo die hards, as the original “Culture Vulture” returns to mention it all. Jai fills us in on all that he has been up to since the last time he was here - Bros, Fire Island, Uncoupled and More. Jai chats about his early days in New York City nightlife, starring on Broadway at a young age in Rent and the challenges he faced as a gay, non-white man trying to break into an industry that was far less inclusive than it is today. Jai chats the original Queer Eye, early days of Bravo, Real Housewives, current Netflix Queer Eye, cast mates and what the original Fab Five have in store for the upcoming 20th anniversary. Of course, there are also his many series regular and guest appearances on Malibu Country - shout out Heather Dubrow, Nip/Tuck - shout out Ryan Murphy, Grey’s Anatomy - shout out Shonda Rhimes and many more. @jairodriguez @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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 Vanderpump Rules Reunion has exploded onto our Bravo TV sets and we are only at Part I. VPR OG himself, Mr. Peter Madrigal, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of it all. For the first time ever, Andy Cohen sits down separately with Ariana, Tom and Raquel. Did we get any answers or did the more each of them talk, the more questions we actually had? We break down a very angry, let me get off the couch multiple times, James Kennedy, a seemingly distraught Scheana Shay, a confused Schwartzy and a ready for business Andy Cohen. We chat about both Lala and Ariana’s clap backs to Lisa Vanderpump and whether LVP is “fair game” for the VPR cast or whether she is above being questioned by her once Sur Staff. Peter breaks down the coming attractions for the Reunion Part II and III, Ariana’s claims that she wont film with Tom or Raquel, the many false rumors surrounding next season, the VPR “pause”, potential spin offs and where the show and cast go from here amidst the Scandoval and season long epic drama. @peter_madrigal @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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 RHONY Reboot finally has an air date of July 17th, 2023 and The RHONY RHUGT is headed back to St. Barts. In celebration of these accomplishments from the Housewives of one of our current three home towns - perhaps The Real Housewives of The Hamptons is coming next - we figured it time to deep dive and see how well this chat with the one and only Miss Eboni K. Williams holds up and see how interesting, prolific and foreshadowing of the RHONY future this chat was. This in person sit down occurred right after the end of Season Thirteen when the Franchise went on permanent pause causing both a Reboot and a Legacy, now Girls Trip. In light of Ramona being phased out of Legacy and now, with no options left to turn to once Jill Zarin passed, back in the fold as needed. Is the network committed to all the causes it so claims or is there more beneath the surface. In true RHONY fashion, we mention it all.

Ever since we shared our thoughts on, and explained the real reason behind, the RHONJ pause last week, there has been tons of incorrect on line chatter about how, what, why, and when surrounding the pause, what happens now and how does RHONJ move forward with a cast divided. Today Kim D. is here to address the multitude of incorrect claims and theories and to reveal how RHONJ is likely to move forward when the pause is over in the, most likely, far distant future. On a happier note, if you have not heard, Teresa got married. Kim breaks down Teresa’s wedding special, all the foreshadowing of why she is now likely to get her own spin off series a la Tardy For The Party and how, regardless of the future of RHONJ, there is good news in the air for one Dolores Catania and one Jennifer Aydin. Finally, we talk about Luis’ RHONJ Reunion behavior, new developments in the nasty - it is finally over - feud between Mel and Tre, Andy Cohen’s disdain for Mr. Ruelas and much, much more. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83488108/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

You have heard of the RHONJ pause but seems we have a similar situation over on the West Coast. The Producers of Vanderpump Rules and Bravo do not know how to move forward with a cast divided, Ariana’s recent claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel and a strong obvious desire to not lose Tom or Ariana with ratings close to two million people for the finale and current reunion episodes. Money talks and everyone has a price, but even with money, is Ariana leaving VPR and headed to greener, more relaxing pastures. With Dancing With The Stars, endorsement deals, appearances on The View, dinners at Daniel, one of New York City’s top restaurants, and an upcoming Lifetime Movie under her belt, we discuss why Ariana may be the Christine Quinn of Pump Rules ready to rise above it all. With Tom’s ability to seemingly remain unaffected, a rumored girl in every port and rock band that, after the attending the live show, is actually pretty good, we break down how Raquel, or as y’all like to call her, Rachel is the one who seems to “lose” from all things Scandoval. All this plus our thoughts on Sending It To Darrel, Poo Poo Heads, Worms With Mustaches and one epic several part reunion which is going to go down in history as some of the realest Reality TV, well, ever! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com (20% Off With Code VELVET) FACTOR - factormeals.com/velvet40 (Use Code VELVET40 To Get 40% Off Your First Box) ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet for 15% Off For A Limited Time) JUNE'S JOURNEY - (Download June’s Journey For Free Today on Apple iOS or Android) 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 Sandoval & The Most Extras. So much has been written about his shows but, after attending one ourself in New York City the other week, we are here today to separate truth from fiction - rumored boos, Ariana chants, cheater screams, negative signage, music, women, a revenge body with muscles galore, packed vs. empty seats and much, much more. Of course, we also met Tom and reveal what that convo was like, what we learned about the future of Vanderpump Rules, Raquel, timelines, Schwartzy, and last, but certainly not least, what is next for this booked and busy rocker that is the current punching bag du jour of Bravo fans worldwide. In other VPR news, with the finale over and reunion among us, we share our hot takes on both and deep dive what to expect next season when the show returns for its eleventh installment. Maybe. In other news, Andy Cohen and Lisa Rinna are feuding, Potomac is filming and RHOA is chugging along. Finally, we discuss our "run in" with Jackie Goldschneider last Sat at The GLAAD Media Awards in New York City, break down our table side chat with Braunwyn Windham Burke and RHONJ run in.

Melissa Rivers steps back Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all that is going on in our BravoVerse. The Vanderpump Rules Finale not only shocked the world and was some of the realest Reality TV ever but came in at a record season high of almost two million viewers. We analyze why people are still so invested in The Scandoval, how everyone wins from it and discuss how VPR moves forward with Ariana’s claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel ever again. Heading east, we break down the RHONY Reboot, Melissa’s past fashion connections to RHONY newbie and former J. Crew President, Jenna Lyons, and how this franchise will fare when it premieres on our Bravo screens later this summer. Speaking of RHONY, we discuss how RHONY Legacy became RHONY Girls Trip, the return of Kristen Taekman, the exit of Jill Zarin and why Ramona Singer has way more than nine lives. Finally, we discuss the hot men of Below Deck - Captain Jason (Melissa’s crush), Fraser Olender (David’s crush) and Bruno Duarte’s move from Deckhand to Gay Porn Star (Ladies and gentlemen you have our attention).

David Archuleta steps Behind The Rope. David is here to chat about his journey from a small town Utah teen, to being thrust into the spotlight at just sixteen and finishing second on American Idol to his recent appearance as Macaw on the juggernaut The Masked Singer where he, once again, finished second. David candidly opens up about his struggles with coming out, the role his faith played in those struggles, a much needed hiatus from the biz to discover himself, reconciling his faith with who he truly is, the media’s obsession with his dating life and the lows he hit growing up on a massive stage, both figuratively and literally, while trying to figure it all out. On a lighter note, we chat working with Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana, “celebrity” and his catchy new song, “Faith In Me” which is bound to be one of the songs of the summer.

Jacqueline Laurita steps BACK Behind The Rope. One of the OG’s herself is here to, well, mention it all. Jacqueline reminisces about her time on the show - table flips, Stripper Gate, family drama and one epic fallout with the still star of RHONJ, Teresa, back when she, Tre, Dina, Caroline and Danielle Staub had no idea of what they were doing, were making authentic TV and could never have predicted what RHONJ would morph into today. Jacqueline weighs in on the current dynamics of Teresa and Melissa and Joe Gorga’s fall out, details her epic lunch reunion with Teresa which broke the internet, reveals plans her hubby and Luis have, shares her thoughts on Luis, chat Sister In Law Caroline Manzo's fall out from RHUGT, shares her opinion on whether this will be Melissa Gorga’s last season like the fans hope and want and much, much more.

In celebration of these accomplishments from the Housewives of one of our current three home towns - perhaps The Real Housewives of The Hamptons is coming next - we revisit the chat we had, back when, with Jill Zarin and Dorinda Medley's Ex-Personal Assistant. Oh yes, we have 101 questions for this fine young gentleman and he is kind enough to answer them all about his famous, or shall we say infamous, employers.

Andy Cohen recently said that the newly rebooted Real Housewives of New York City is “different” having watched the first seven episodes. We analyze the word “different”, discuss new RHONY Jenna Lyons’ recent Met Gala hosting gig and discuss whether you, the audience, are excited for this reincarnation, are instead longing for The Countess in her cabaret glory to appear back on our screens or whether, as we like to say, two things get to simultaneously be true. Speaking of The Countess, we chat the, as we predicted, never happening RHONY Legacy, the newly reformatted Girls Trip RHONY and real reasons why Miss Ramona Singer is headed back to this beloved franchise despite all her claims of “legacy loser” and a new life well enjoyed. Heading to the ATL, we chat our run in with Miss Phaedra Parks, question the validity of Drew and Ralph’s divorce and weigh in on the current season - Kandi coming in hot - which is well underway.

With several fake and false RHONJ Reunion Stories leaked as well as the leaked edited Vanderpump Rules finale, we chat about the source of these leaks, why bloggers make up “fake news” for clicks and what Bravo plans to do going forward to prevent such false info from circulating. Speaking of RHONJ, we chat about the many new claims and investigations involving Luis Ruelas, what this means for TreHuggers, the changes in Teresa’s camp as a result, and where the star of RHONJ and her hubby go from here. Déjà Vu much? Moving on to, shocker, The Scandoval, we discuss why watching Vanderpump Rules is cringeworthy at best, Tom Sandoval’s possible danger and cry for help, Raquel’s true whereabouts and whether LVP had a little too much of a hand in setting the Scandoval in motion. Whew. What a day and we are only getting started. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Jacqueline reminisces about her time on the show - table flips, Stripper Gate, family drama and one epic fallout with the still star of RHONJ, Teresa, back when she, Tre, Dina, Caroline and Danielle Staub had no idea of what they were doing, were making authentic TV and could never have predicted what RHONJ would morph into today.

Cedric continues to bring us behind the rosé curtain to discuss what life was like living with Lisa Vanderpump and how that living arrangement ultimately came to an end.

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.

Alicia Witt steps Behind The Rope. After being discovered by none other than David Lynch at the age of seven, Alicia has had a career that most can only dream of having starred in many of our favorites - Twin Peaks, Cybill, The Walking Dead, Ally McBeal, The Sopranos and so much more. We chat about this prolific career and our fav part of Alicia's ever, starring as Madonna’s lover in the 1995 film, Four Rooms. We chat Madge, that film and why women of a certain age are still scrutinized day in and day out on line and by the media for their appearance. Speaking of Madonna and music, we discuss Alicia’s very personal new song and video - “Witness”, finding out she was offered “The Masked Singer” while waking up from breast reconstructive surgery and just how profound Alicia's just completed Masked Singer experience has been on both her singing career and life. @aliciawitty @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com (20% Off With Code VELVET) JUNE'S JOURNEY - (Download June’s Journey For Free Today on Apple iOS or Android) 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.
