BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Chris Kirkpatrick steps Behind The Rope. NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick that is. Having just been eliminated from The Masked Singer, Chris is here to chat about what it was like to don The Hummingbird costume and perform in front of millions on the hit Fox show. Of course, the convo quickly turns to all things NSYNC and all things Justin, Lance, Joey and JC. Chris chats about which of his fellow NSYNCers knew it was him as The Hummingbird, who he thinks could get the farthest in the competition and what advice he would give to his bandmates who wanted to participate. We also chat about whether we will ever see an NSYNC reunion with all five members - yes Justin Timberlake included and when and what that would look like. In the absence of JT, we chat who, if anyone, would be a great fifth member for this still Iconic band. Chris opens up about performing at The Super Bowl with Britney, what he thinks about Britney’s recent statements that she will never perform again and deep dives her most recent foray into music with Sir Elton John. In other Reality TV news, Chris chats about his stint as a houseguest on Celebrity Big Brother and whether perhaps we will see him and Joey Fatone one day on The Amazing Race. As we often like to do, we mention it all! ** Following this chat, we share a chat with Nick Lachey and 98 Degrees! @iamckirkpatrick @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) GLADSKIN - www.gladskin.com/VELVET (15% Off Plus Free Shipping) TALKSPACE - www.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.

Brielle Biermann steps Behind The Rope. In true Brielle form, nothing is off limits or held back! Brielle starts at the beginning discussing what it was like to grow up on Bravo having first appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta at age ten. Brielle reminisces about her time on RHOA - best/worst/viral moments, and all that drama that she witnessed between all our fav peach holders, including Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Brielle discusses her much talked about relationship with Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann - the public’s obsession with it, judgment of it, and truth behind what having a Mom like Kim is really like. Of course, we learned more about that relationship during the first ever RHOA spinoff “Don’t Be Tardy”. Brielle chats about that eight year journey working with her whole fam including “Dad” NFL Superstar Kroy Biermann. Brielle explains how she handles her online “trolls” who judge her every move and chats about the constant scrutiny she receives regarding what plastic surgery she has and has not had, a topic which recently came up during her WWHL “Bravo Kids” appearance. Brielle breaks down which Bravo children she is friends with, what Bravolebs have slid into her DM’s throughout the years (the answer has left our mouths agape!), and who she would still love to meet in the BravoVerse. Brielle opens up about her love life, type, and current status. We chat the end of Don’t Be Tardy, whether Kim should or would return to RHOA, and what is next for her. @briellebiermann @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Even with our legal degree we find it daunting, at best, to make sense of it all so we can only imagine how y’all feel. As a result, we did the only thing we could think of doing. Call in our fav legal commentator, and former LA Deputy District Attorney, Emily D. Baker to help make sense of it all. Emily breaks down Erika’s recent $50M Racketeering Lawsuit, the shocking new claims against Miss Jayne, being served at LAX after a vacay with Rinna and Diana Jenkins, those $1.4M earrings that just wont seem to go away and what this means for her future on RHOBH. Emily also breaks down Jen Shah’s recent guilty plea in her criminal fraud case, why she plead guilty, what we can expect from sentencing, her, Andy Cohen, the RHOSLC cast and public’s reaction to Jen’s guilty plea and what this means for her, her family and RHOSLC’s future.

Okay, Allison is much more than an e-cigarette and letting Housewives know when their husbands will never emotionally fulfill them.

Today, we deep dive leaving no stone unturned on what you all want to talk about, RHOBH and the aforementioned dinner party.

These and many more questions answered as we prepare for our fav Snowflake Holders to return in less than two weeks. In other news, Raquel Leviss has gone from Schwartzy to Garcelle’s son Oliver and back again (?), Scheana has gotten married, Lala is dating, Katie is blaming everyone, LVP skips a wedding and this is just the tip of the iceberg as Vanderpump Rules Season Ten continues to film.

Kim D. is here to break down how she thinks Teresa will perform, how far she predicts she will get in the competition, her fellow Reality TV dancers, and how one Mr. Luis Ruelas will be in the front row cheering her on week after week, every week. Heading west, what a week in RHOBH it has been. Diana Jenkins has not only come out swinging with cease and desist letters to all those claiming false narratives, but she has donated $100,000 to the Victims’ Families of Lion Air Flight 610 and is going after the alleged people behind the “Bot” attack on Garcelle’s Son Jax. As we have said many times before, do not F with someone worth a cool $250M. Just sayin'. Finally, we break down this week’s RHOBH - #team EJ is trending, Rinna to the rescue, Kathy is mad, Paris gets involved, and Kyle seems to have set her sisterly relations back once again. All this as rumors of last minute edits, deleted scenes, rumored media embargoes and what is bound to be one F of a reunion flood the BravoVerse! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/71702239/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

There has been a lot of talk about Lisa Rinna’s RHOBH future and next season’s likely cast of RHOBH. We break down who is likely to stay, who is likely to go, who is likely to return from the past, who is likely to resign and will the online attack on Garcelle’s son affect any of this. In other West Coast Real Housewives news, we break down Tamra Judge’s return to RHOC, address rumors that the whole cast has united against Shannon and analyze whether Tamra’s return can save this seemingly broken franchise. Heading east, we shed light onto the truth behind those constant rumors that Ramona Singer will not be part of the RHONY Legacy show, Melissa Gorga’s involvement in perpetrating those rumors, and reveal the timeline of when we can realistically expect any legacy announcement. Two words - not soon!Lindsay and Carl get engaged, Scheana gets married, Schwartzy and Raquel kiss, Katie Maloney blames Scheana, Jax, Brittany and Kristen get dissed and much to our chagrin, all of this is being filmed for the upcoming seasons of Summer House and Vanderpump Rules respectively! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

The RHOBH Universe has a one track mind these days and it is to find out who was behind the social media attack on Garcelle’s Son Jax. Several names have been thrown around - Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins, Erika Jayne, RHOBH Producers and Patrick Somers. We break down the likelihood that any of the aforementioned had anything to do with that and what is the possibility bots were actually involved. Once that dust settles, and after we deep dive to the n-th degree from every angle, we break down what is next and what this means for their Bev Hills’ future and how likely is it that Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins and anyone and everyone else will not return for next season to hold a diamond. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino steps Behind The Rope. Today we share this never before released gem from the vault. Alexis takes us back to the beginning of her Real Housewives of Orange County journey, when then husband Jim brought her to the Season One Premiere Party and she met the then cast Vicki Gunvalson, Jo De La Rosa, Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson and Kimberly Bryant. Fast forward several years, and Alexis was cast as a main RHOC cast member Season Five. The rest is history. Not so fast. Alexis opens up about how much life changed from when we saw her on RHOC as a married woman to Jim Bellino to her current life with love Andy Bohn. Alexis chats about the reasons for the demise of her marriage, the role, or lack thereof RHOC played in this demise, what it is like to now watch these scenes back all these years later, and what is was like to have the general public weigh in on your marriage. Alexis also chats about her time on the hit Bravo show and cast mates Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Gretchen Rossi, and Vicki Gunvalson - who was the hardest to work with and the status of each of these relationships today. Alexis also discusses her Christian Faith and how that played out on the show. Yes, for all those wondering, we do discuss Alexis’ moniker “Jesus Jugs” as bestowed upon her all those years ago by Tamra Judge. Speaking of Tamra, we DO bring up the Jim Bellino law suit against her and Shannon Storms Beador. Alexis also weighs in on the current cast and we finally answer why or why not she would really ever go back despite all the rumors out there. @alexis_bellino @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FREEDOMGROOMING - www.freedomgrooming.com/VELVET (20% Off Now) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Chaz Dean steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from the Hollywood Hills home he shares with his three Labradors, Chaz is here to tell it all. First things first, Chaz fills us in on his journey from his early days of working at a LA Salon to eventually purchasing that salon, developing WEN hair care products, taking over QVC and, of course, those infamous WEN infomercials - think Alyssa Milano and Brooke Shields - that we all love so much. Speaking of celebrities such as Brooke and Alyssa, his very first well known client was Nicolette Sheridan and from there things just took off. She told a friend who told a friend and soon he was doing hair for much of the Aaron Spelling Empire. That empire included such Superstars as 90210’s very own Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. As their stylist, Chaz heard and knew it all! The things he could, and does, tell! Let us not forget there was a time way back when where Shannen, Tori and Jennie didn’t exactly all see eye to eye. Our very own RHOBH Lisa Rinna was also a client and is a current friend. What happened when Nicolette Sheridan walked into his Salon one day while Rinna was in his chair? Umm, yea, exactly what you are thinking. Not well. There was also that one time he had to run to Casa Rinna for a Delilah Belle Hamlin hair emergency. Chaz has stories for days and we are LIVING for it. Chaz is also close with Lisa Vanderpump. Wait, how does that work also being friends with Rinna? Are you starting to see a trend? Tune in to hear it all - Chaz Dean, the man behind the WEN empire, chats about business, hair and what we love best, Celebrity on this Part I sit down of our interview with Chaz Dean. @chazdean @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Garcelle Beauvais’ son was the subject of online troll attacks. We break down those attacks, the RHOBH casts’ reaction, Bravo’s reaction, the fans reaction and why many think Diana Jenkins is behind it all. In other RHOBH news, LVP has come out swinging against Mellenball who made derogatory comments about her brother, Kelly Dodd calls Mauricio and PK gross and RHOBH casting rumors continue to swirl with Diana, Crystal, Dorit and Rinna all rumored to have been considered to be on the chopping block. We dispel many of those rumors, who may be coming back and then chat RHONY 2.0 and OG casting. So many rumors, so little time. What is not a rumor is that our very own Scheana Shay tied the knot and Schwartzy and Raquel Leviss were said to be getting cozy. Filming for the OC has begun and not all of her cast mates are happy with the return of one Miss Tamra Judge. Nothing shocking there. Finally, Nene Leakes’ lawsuit against Andy Cohen was dismissed without prejudice. We break down what that means and what happens now for all parties involved. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

We chat hot takes on some of Heather’s projects after Dollhouse - The Princess Diaries, Scream, Roseanne, The L Word and Grey’s Anatomy to name a few as well as co-stars such as Anne Hathaway, Neve Campbell and Ellen Pompeo. Heather opens up about the struggles she has faced over the years in Hollywood trying to find work, the many misperceptions the public has about life in the biz, her viral tweets on the subject earlier this year, and where she, and Hollywood, are today regarding it all! Finally, as a member of the LGBTQIA community, Heather talks representation, new movie “The Mattachine Family” and, of course, her wife’s tribute book to Queen Madonna because as we often say, all roads lead back to Madame M. @heathermatarazzo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

First we chat about those viral honeymoon pics of Tre and Luis that have been circulating all over the internet. PDA much? Then we break down Frank Catania’s claims that he had to break up the men and women at the finale, share a Mel/Tre update - does anyone even still care, and deep dive the Margaret / Laura spat that took Twitter by storm earlier this week.

As RHOBH casting rumors for next season swirl, we break down the likelihood that the rumored Diana, Rinna and Crystal will be let go. We share our thoughts on that and offer up some likely other options of who will most likely be on the chopping block next season. As these casting rumors circulate, Denise Richards weighs in announcing she would return to RHOBH in the future. It certainly would be a good weekly reminder that her Only Fans is alive and well, not that she needs any help in that category and she would certainly be coming for Rinna. Hello Bravo. Are you listening? Ariana Biermann was arrested for DUI and her and Kim Zolciak have come out swinging. What do they say about there being two sides to every story? Kelly Dodd calls Melissa Gorga a loser, Cynthia Bailey says Tre is warmer than Mel, and we ask does anyone still care about the fact that Tre and Mel will never, should we say it louder for those in back, never get along. Finally, we address those recent RHONY 2.0 reboot casting rumors and weigh in regarding our friend Orfeh who was named as one of the new six apple holders. Of course, we called and texted Ms. Orfeh to get to the bottom of all these rumors of who really is being cast in the new RHONY and break down when we will most likely hear the definitive cast so that we can all sleep a little better at night. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

In other current news, Sutton is not shying away from any of the drama this season of RHOBH as we deep dive this season, drunk Erika, who we think is carrying the season and who will go. Kathy Hilton chats Kyle’s RHOBH future and the fact that she herself never wants to hold a diamond. In RHOA land we break down Marlo’s freshman season as a Peach Holder and ask is she carrying the season or doing too much, too soon. Ahh, life’s most important questions. Someone who wont be back on Bravo anytime soon, if ever, by choice, is Miss Monique Samuels who just turned down RHUGT, personal phone call from Andy Cohen and all.

With all that seems to be changing by the day with Erika Jayne and Jen Shah’s legal woes, we felt it was time to slow down and deep dive both. Erika got served at LAX and the claims behind the 50M Dollar Racketeering Lawsuit are shocking to say the least. Jen Shah plead guilty in her criminal fraud case and is now waiting to be sentenced. We discuss both, the current state of both cases, and what happens next in both cases. In other news, Below Deck’s Rachel Hargrove slams Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll in a feud we did not ever see coming or think we needed. Margaret and Tre have a newfound BFF-ship, Tre’s wedding approaches and RHOM’s Nicole Martin sells what Andy Cohen calls the nicest house to ever appear on Bravo on any show including all of the Million Dollar Listings. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Carlos King steps back Behind The Rope. Picking right up from where we left off last time, Carlos chats current seasons of RHOA (Marlo’s Peach, the return of Shereé, Kenya supposedly passing the villain baton) & RHONJ (just wrapped filming), where each of those franchises have been and where they are going. We break down Carlos’ Infamous Top Ten Housewives List - Nene, Teresa and Bethenny in the top three seats, an underrated Danielle Staub making the cut, the glaring lack of any RHOBH and why Kyle Richards is his Queen of the 90210. Carlos chats Teresa spin off rumors - in addition to her wedding special, why New Jersey cannot survive without Tre and why he prefers an OG cast for any franchise any day. Speaking of an OG cast, Carlos breaks down what having two RHONY’s really means, how to properly cast the RHONY reboot, which OG’s he thinks deserve a seat at the OG table, why Bethenny Frankel secretly does want to be a part of the franchise and why no one should count Eboni K. Williams out just yet. The best producer in the history of Reality TV is here to mention it all. @thecarlosking_ @behindveletrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne Heche earlier this year. I, and everyone at the Behind The Velvet Rope Podcast, are deeply saddened to hear of her passing last week. Besides a career in Hollywood that most could only dream of, having started in some of the most iconic TV and Film of all time, she was an actress whose craft had been perfected to the nth degree. During this interview, she was so gracious with her time. She was kind, open, honest, forthright, a bright light and so very full of life. A trailblazer. I hope that by listening to this chat, you are able to get a glimpse into what a remarkable woman she was. Having spoken to her for just this hour, I sure did. We release this episode today as a tribute to the life of Anne Heche. Anne Heche steps Behind The Rope. Actress of Film, TV, Stage. Best Selling Author. Activist. Trailblazer. Director. Icon In The Flesh. Now Podcast Host. The ONE. The ONLY. Miss Anne Heche!! Anne is here to cover it all and have one of the most open, honest, raw conversations The Rope has ever had! Anne chats about her Iconic Career from its beginnings on Another World to starting in more movies and TV shows than we could ever list - Donnie Brasco, Six Days, Seven Nights, Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Wag the Dog, to name a few. Anne chats about her favorite roles, the ones she wants to forget, her favorite co-stars, who she would still love to work with, and why this brilliant accomplished actress still has to audition for parts. Anne opens up about what it was like to be the original one Cancelled before Cancel Culture was a thing as a result of her bringing Ellen DeGeneres to a movie premiere as her date and Ellen’s coming out of “Yup, I’m Gay” at a time when the world wasn’t 2022. Anne talks about those ten long years when no one in Hollywood would cast her, her public fallout with Ellen, what it’s like being “tied” to Ellen in the public eye all these years later, how The Ellen Show complicated her search for work even further and what she thinks, in a full circle moment, about Ellen’s now Cancellation after being deemed The Queen of Mean. Anne talks about her star turn on Dancing With The Stars, her love of Reality TV - her Best of List is music to our ears - and whether and why she would ever join or not join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!! Of course, we chat with Anne about her book “Call Me Crazy”, the biggest misperceptions about her regarding the subject, and whether an open and honest discussion about mental health can be had stigma free in the world we live in today. Anne Heche in a hold nothing back chat like you have never heard her before. @anneheche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ORA ORGANIC - www.ora.organic (Get 30% Off Your First Subscription When You text ROPE to 64-000) DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Kathryn Dennis steps Behind The Rope. Southern Charm’s Kathryn Dennis that is. Kathryn is here to chat about the highs and lows, the good and bad of her entire time on Southern Charm, both on and off screen, over the past many years. Kathryn discusses the challenges of “putting it all” out there, no matter how personal, for the world to see, and consequently judge. Kathryn chats about how she has learned to cope with the public having an opinion about everything that she does in her life and what advice she would give to her twenty one year old self, before her many breakups, and two children, Season One Southern Charm, just starting out. Kathryn chats about the many ups and downs of some of her friendships with the men of SC - Craig, Austen & Shep, the women - Madison, Leva, & Naomie and who out of casts past she would most like and least like to have back - Cameran, Landon, Chelsea. Of course, with various cast members linked to A-Rod, Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler in the past, we needed all the gossip and to deep dive on what Kathryn really knows. Kathryn Dennis in a rare sit down like you have never heard her before. @kathryndennis @behindvrelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

Tre has gone to the chapel and she has gotten married. Cue music. For all those living under a Bravo rock, our girl did it. Teresa Giudice Ruelas. Welcome. Kim D. is here to break it all down because, who else, would be able to help us review Tre’s wedding with absolutely no filter. The $10,000 hair, the gloves, the fog, the food or rumored lack thereof, the dresses. Where do we begin? Let us not forget the bridesmaids' dresses for the Giudice offspring, the wedding parties’ looks - Dolo and Aydin we are talkin’ to ya and of course the guest list. Kenya, Darby, Dorinda, Zarin, Cynthia, Phaedra, Chanel, Alexia and the full RHONJ cast, minus Melissa, Joe and Rachel Fuda - we break it all down, the good, the bad, the other as well as those who did not attend and the real reasons why - Ramona, Daddy Cohen, Countess Lu.

In other words, we cover it all leaving no stone unturned and in true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/70391576/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Melissa and Joe did not attend Teresa’s wedding. Tomorrow, Kim D. is back where she is every Saturday on our Patreon where we will be breaking down Tre’s big day - the hair, the gloves, the dresses, the fog, the nuptials, the guest list and everything else in between. Before we get there though, today we wanted to share with you an episode that would normally be on Patreon with Kim D. There is so much going on in RHONJ land that one episode this week was just not enough. We break down the chain of events that led Joe and Melissa to boycott Tre’s big day, the cheating allegations against Mel, the rumors Joey G charged Luis at the finale and much more. We also break down the multitude of rumors regarding this fractured family thereafter - namely that Tre sent a bil to Mel and Joe for not attending, all of the RHONJ cast’s involvement - including newbies Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, what we will actually see this season when RHONJ returns and, most important of all, how, if at all, do Tre, Mel and Joey move forward from here. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.
