BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

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. Like we said, we have all moved on. A trip down memory lane with the OG herself, Miss Jill Zarin! @mrsjillzarin @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.

While so many of the Vanderpump Rules cast are making fatal mistakes in their public handling of Scandoval, Ariana Madix seems to be playing the media game oh so well. We deep dive what she is doing so right and how the rest of the cast can learn a thing or two from this woman scorned. Next, we break down Tom Schwartz' WWHL appearance from last week, Andy’s drooling over Schwartzy, Andy's advice, Tom's loyalty to BFF Sandy and how ever were the two polar opposites Tom and Katie a married couple in love. We discuss all the opportunities that have already come Ariana’s way - DWTS, Lifetime Movies - and share our hot takes on whether Ariana fatigue will soon set in or if we are just getting started in the year that is Ariana.

So many past RHOBH Diamond Holders, so little time. With Kim Richards, Camille Grammar, Denise Richards and Teddi “Mellenball” Mellencamp filming scenes for the upcoming RHOBH Season Thirteen, we share our hot takes and deep dive which past full time cast members should, and most likely will, be holding a diamond when this fan fav of a franchise returns to our Bravo TVs later this year. One notably absent name from the aforementioned roster, Brandi Glanville. In light of Brandi’s recent tweets that the current narrative regarding Caroline Manzo and RHUGT Four is “ruining her life” and are false, we discuss whether her involvement with Girls Trip Four will really affect her Bravo future and just what that would mean for all involved, the network and Housewives of every other franchise. Finally, we discuss how and why Jen Shah still has PR representation, her hilarious claims that she cares about the victims and just how and why her prison sentence has been reduced by one year. @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) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Start Hiring Now.

So much Bravo News, Social Media Trends and Pop Culture Nuggets to break down today we do not even know where to begin. First things first. The Scandoval. We analyze why this has become a pop culture phenom and explain why not everyone has fallen down this VPR rabbit hole. Next we break down all the RHONJ drama, the use of Finsta accounts, which Housewives and Celebs are behind which Finstas and why the RHONJ, RHOP and RHOBH women seem to use them more than any other franchise. 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.

Jen Shah is serving 6.5 years in Federal Prison. She recently claimed that she still does not think she belongs in prison despite her guilty plea. Now that RHOSLC is filing its new season with Mary Cosby in tow, we are sure Jen must miss her fake lavish life on the outside. We share a chat today that we had with famed attorney Emily D. Baker right after Jen’s guilty plea late last year and right before her sentencing earlier this year. As two attorneys, one experienced in these matters and one not so much, did we get it right and how is Jen really doing now in jail?

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.

Everyone always asks us what our favorite interviews of all time are. The answer is always the same. Since we interview so many people a week, it is always changing! That said, THIS chat with Mob Wives’ Karen Gravano is one of our absolute favorites. NO question was off limits! For all who have missed this epic chat, we share it here today! Wasting no time, David & Karen delve right in to her childhood and the moment she realized her life was “different" than that of others based, in part, on a murder outside one of her father's, Sammy The Bull’s, nightclubs. Other than a few other factors which tipped Karen off to the fact that this wasn’t how many families lived, Karen discusses her “normal” (for lack of a better word) childhood - dating, friends, having a “cousin" whose family the Donnie Brasco movie was based on. After discussing the definition of important words such as “Mafia”, “Loyalty" and “Rat”, Karen and David talk about “The Gotti Tapes”, the domino effect fall out that thereafter followed, and the subsequent end of the relationship between Gotti and Sammy The Bull. David and Karen analyze the Mob lifestyle and all that comes along with it - the made guys, competing families and, at the end of the day, family togetherness and love.

If all that was not a mouthful, we discuss the new season of currently filming RHOBH and whether Lisa Vanderpump’s recent on line activity suggests she really does want to rejoin this ratings blockbuster.

Today, the lawyer most closely associated with the Girardi case, who has been covering Tom and Erika’s legal woes before any of us focused on these matters, is here to help make sense of it all.

The Real Friends of WeHo’s Joey Zauzig steps Behind The Rope. Now that the freshman season of the hit MTV show has come and gone, Joey reflects upon the season breaking down highs and lows both on and off screen. Joey chats cast mates - welcome back to our screens Brad Goreski, Curtis’ coming out, the many misperceptions surrounding Todrick Hall and how there is no love lost with Jaymes and Dorion. Of course, Joey addresses all the controversy surrounding the show since its release - a shortened Drag Race, claims against appropriate and diverse community representation, whether the cast are “real” friends, social media threats, ratings and last but certainly not least, all those WeHo bars that turn off the show and cheer once Drag Race has ended. Joey discusses why he thinks the show is important for the future of LGBTQIA programming, what a potential Season Two would look like, who would most likely not return and why the Drag Race loyalists should have accepted this show with open arms. Finally, after having made an appearance this season, Joey chats BFF Meredith Marks, fav Real Housewives and franchises and that one time he got his hair done at Sally Hershberger next to Lisa Rinna! @joeyzauzig @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ZOCDOC - zocdoc.com/velvetrope (Once On The Website, Download The Zocdoc App For Free To Book a Top Rated Doctor Today) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Kim D. is in rare form today as she breaks down Teresa’s latest interview - her laugh at the mention of The Gorgas “next season”, the revelation that her bro visited her in jail only once and for the camera$, her calm demeanor and - dare we say - well spoken verbiage and last, but certainly not least, friendly reminder to all listening and watching that this is The Real Housewives of Teresa. In other news, Kim addresses the Gorga’s seemingly paranoid claims that an evil force is out to get them and addresses the rumors that she, and this very Podcast, are those forces. Tuning our attention to this week’s RHONJ episode, Kim explains the real reason Melissa was crying in the bathroom, the real reason Josephina did not attend his sister’s housewarming, who came out ahead in Cabral vs. Goldschneider Round Two, who came out ahead in Aydin vs. Fuda Round Two, the involvement of Dolo and Marge, the on screen half truths spewed forth by Fuda and oh so very much more. As we said, in rare form, Miss D. is just getting started. Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79408325/edit @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

With a few episodes of VPR under our belts, we figured it time to break down this season of Vanderpump Rules. We discuss all our thoughts on this season, deep dive the many breaks ups, make ups, make outs, ask outs, share our hot takes on LVP and everyone’s new business ventures and last, but certainly not least, break down the Randall Emmett of it all. Moving on, we discuss Jen Shah’s final “statement”, for lack of a better word, before surrendering to authorities in Texas where she will spend the approximate next 6.5 years in FPC Bryan, a minimum security prison camp for women. Next, we discuss the new season of RHOBH which began filming without Lisa Rinna and address all the casting rumors separating fact from fiction including the potential involvement of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing’s very own Tracy Tutor. Finally, we address all the off camera recent sagas of one Miss Kim Zolciak Biermann, the every changing on again, off again, now seemingly off home foreclosure that was not and just how she managed, as she always stated, to avoid eviction and disaster in her life, once again. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Now that the dust has settled, we break down Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville’s future on Bravo and true likelihood we will ever see either back on our TV’s. Once that is done, we discuss Bethenny Frankel’s recent comments about the entire situation and share our hot takes on whether she is one of the best Real Housewives ever or, at the end of the day, overrated. In other news, we deep dive Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s involvement with the Secret Service, the current state of their legal troubles and what happens for each next. Finally, we chat about the rumored E “Villain” show, the potential cast including many of our favorites such as Jax Taylor, Danielle Staub, Rachel Reilly and Omarosa no last name needed and separate fact from fiction on whether this show is real, green lit and actually in production. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Ronald Richards steps Behind The Rope. You have read his tweets. You have heard all that Erika Jayne has said about him. Today, the lawyer most closely associated with the Girardi case, who has been covering Tom and Erika’s legal woes before any of us focused on these matters, is here to help make sense of it all. Ronald clarifies Erika’s criminal and civil legal exposure, the incorrect assumption that whether she “knew” or did not “know” is the threshold for culpability, the recent IRS tax liens and possibility of Bravo garnishing her RHOBH wages. Of course, we deep dive the ever changing saga of the famed earrings, Ronald’s purchase of them, legal motivation for this purchase and oh so much more. As RHOBH Season Thirteen filming commences, Ronald is here to help us make sense of it all. Thank you for your time Attorney Richards. @attorneyronaldrichards @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

With all the talk about RHONY Legacy not happening, we figured y’all were feeling as nostalgic as us for the days of yesteryear of classic RHONY. As a result, we share this hidden gem of our epic friendship with Harry Dubin, run in with Bethenny, Sonja, Ramona and the gang throughout the years and many martini filled nights at The Regency. Yes, it is also about Tom because he was a permanent fixture during our days as a regular there and in typical BTVR fashion, we mention it all. As the Countess says, Chic C’est La Vie. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SMALLS - smalls.com/VELVET (Use Promo Code VELVET for 50% Off Your First Order) INNOVATIVE EXTRACTS - ie-cbd.com (Use Promo Code VELVET for 40% Off Your First Order) NOM NOM - trynom.com/velvet (50% Off Your No Risk Two Week Trial) DAILY HARVEST - dailyharvest.com/velvet (Up To $40 Off Your First Box) 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.
