One of the pioneers of reality television, Jaime Gleicher, steps Behind The Rope. Before there was Kathy & Kyle, Melissa & Tre, Erika & Rinna, there was Ally (Hilfiger - yes daughter of Tommy) & Jaime, stars of the MTV reality mega hit, Rich Girls, which followed the lives of two wealthy New York City girls as they completed their final semester of high school before entering college and adulthood. Jaime, who is currently writing a book on her life, reflects upon her time on the show and what being thrust into the spotlight at a young age entailed. Jaime discusses the other reality juggernauts at the time Rich Girls began - The Osbournes, Newlyweds and Queer Eye. On a more serious note, Jaime is forthcoming about her real life struggles with an eating disorder and depression, which she hid from production during the filming of Rich Girls. These two dive into how Rich Girls came about, filming, editing, production and the promotion of the show. Jaime, now 35 and a Psychotherapist (a Barnard graduate, smarty pants), discusses the potential pitfalls of fame at an early age and how she "came out the other side". Until her book is published (300 pages and counting), listen here for an all access exclusive. @jaimegleicher @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

We talk about some of Megan and Jeff’s Housewife BFFS, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Storms Beador and Teddi Mellencamp. Yes Megan and Jeff did Teddi’s much criticized ALL IN Program. Do tell. She does!

I’m sharing a special preview of a podcast I’ve been enjoying, Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, from Pushkin Industries. Talk Easy is a weekly interview podcast, where writer Sam Fragoso invites actors, writers, activists, and musicians to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them before. Driven by curiosity, he’s had revealing conversations with everyone from Ethan Hawke to Cate Blanchett to Pedro Pascal to Questlove. In this preview, he sits down with actor, writer, and director Lake Bell, who shares her path to creating Inside Voice, her new audiobook. She describes growing up in Manhattan in the 80s, chronicling the world around her by tape recorder, and capturing those experiences into her 2013 film, "In a World..." And she shares how her voice has transformed in the past decade, the phenomenon of the 'sexy baby voice,' and the characters she hopes to discover in years to come.

From the Gorga’s new house, to being served new lawsuits at their new house, Kim is here to break down the new legal woes the Gorga’s are now faced with and is helping us make sense of it all. Across the pond, Kim shares what she has heard from Dolores and Teresa’s trips with their men Paulie and Luis, Teresa’s recent OOTD in Balenciaga, and why or why won’t Dolo come back with a ring on her finger. Kim D. shares this week’s life advice for The Gorgas, Tre and Dolo before moving onto stories from the vault a la Caroline, Dina and Danielle. Ahh, the good ole days. Of course, Kim chats RHOBH - the pause, Erika’s earrings and just what is really going on with Diana Jenkins’ donation. Does anyone still care? Finally, after taking in The Chrisley’s recent sentencing, Kim gives tough love to one Jen Shah and what she can expect come January. What would we do without our weekly chat with Kim D? Luckily, we do not have to answer that question today! Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/75282251/edit @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

We start today’s episode by pondering one of life’s most important questions - who is more authentic and why, Tre or Mel? Meanwhile, we deep dive Lisa Rinna’s recent comments that she is in favor of Heather Dubrow becoming a cast member on RHOBH, is open to working with anyone including Kathy Hilton and discuss the likelihood that either of those will actually happen in the near future next season when the show returns. Speaking of Heather Dubrow, we discuss the rumors that the season ended with a bang between her and Tamra, the rumors that Heather had a tough season, whether Kelly Dodd should be given an orange to return and when we can expect RHOC to return to our small screens. Finally, we share our hot takes for an epic RHOP spin off starring Michael and Ashley Darby. No really, it is so epic we almost wanted to delete it and pitch to Bravo. LOL, yup, it is one of those episodes today. #enjoy @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PAIRED - paired.com/velvet (Get a 7 Day Free Trial and 25% Off If You Sign Up For a Subscription) KEEPSTER - keepster.co/velvet (Use Code VELVET For 25% Off) LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) 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.

With so much talk lately about RHOBH and RHONJ, we turn our attention today to RHONY - Ramona’s statement of leaving, Andy Cohen’s reaction, the truth behind Lizzy Savetsky’s exit, which other RHONY Reboot cast mates are rumored to be involved in Lizzy’s exit, Andy’s statement on her exit, the truth behind legacy casting, status update on how filming for the reboot is going and, oh, so much more. In other news, we share our hot takes on the sale of Erica Jayne’s earnings, the rumors that Tom Girardi paid $1.2M for a member of the FBI’s house and more updates from the Girardi’s legal mess. Finally, we break down Melissa and Joe Gorga’s recent run in with a fan who asked what they plan to do now that Teresa will “never speak to them again” considering, as this fan asked, their “whole storyline” is tried to her. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PAIRED - paired.com/velvet (Get a 7 Day Free Trial and 25% Off If You Sign Up For a Subscription) KEEPSTER - keepster.co/velvet (Use Code VELVET For 25% Off) LULULEMON - lululemon.com (This Holiday Season Shop The Best Gifts at Lululemon) TALKSPACE - talkspace.com/velvet ($100 Off Your First Month) 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.

Joan Van Ark steps back Behind The Rope. One of the most recognized names in Nighttime Soaps, 80s Icon, Joan Van Ark. Joan is best known for her role as Valene Ewing on Knots Landing, one of the longest running prime time soap operas in history. We are thrilled to have Joan here today to chat about her career, and life for that matter, in its entirety. We reminisce about all the glory that was, is, and will always be Valene Ewing and Knot’s Landing including how Joan was cast, co-stars and real life best friends Donna Mills and Michelle Lee, the other recognizable faces that popped by the worlds most famous cul-de-sac such as Nicolette Sheridan and Alec Baldwin, the fact that it spun off from Dallas and her decision to leave the show one season before its finale. Moving on from Knots, Joan opens up about the evolution of women in Hollywood from the 1980s when shows like Knots were all the rage to present day, answering questions like how far have we come and how much farther do we have to go. We also chatted with Joan about some of our other favorite shows she has appeared on like Nip/Tuck and RuPaul’s Drag Race (yes we think Mama Ru is a Knots fan!). Of course we had to chat with Joan about her thoughts on Reality TV and actresses like Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards and Garcelle Beauvais who have become Housewives throughout the years. Joan chats and shares stories from her illustrious frothy year career about the pressures of aging in Hollywood, the ever presence of plastic surgery amongst The Hollywood Elite, and the #MeToo Movement. Finally we chat with Joan about the current crop of television she has been binging, the current crop of “A List” actresses she puts her stamp of approval on, all the many current projects she that are keeping her busy and with reboots running rampant chat, hoping to will into existence, a Knot’s Landing Reboot. Ahh, a girl can dream, can’t she.
