Kim D. is here to chat about all the goings on in RHONJ land this week. First and foremost, Tre had to resend her wedding invites thanks to one Miss Ramona Singer. Tre did take a break from the MTV movie awards to invite Margaret to her wedding, shade Mel by showing love for her newfound sister in laws - Luis’ sisters, and reveal more wedding details as the August date grows near. Speaking of Luis, he claims Margaret is a great woman while Marge has been spending her days “liking” Tre’s IG posts. There is so much to unpack and we haven’t even gotten to Kim D’s unexpected phone call from Miss Dolores Catania. Heading west, Kim breaks down this week's RHOBH - Erika Jayne grabs popcorn for the Crystal / Sutton show, Kyle, as usual, helps move the story along, Diana is still rich rich rich and, on a serious note, RIP Mama Lois Rinna! Finally, Kim shares her newfound love for RHODubai’s Chanel Ayan, goat and all, chats Nina’s allegiance to Chanel vs. Caroline Stanbury and breaks down Miss Stanbury’s return to our Bravo screens, hot hubby and all. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://www.patreon.com/posts/67570791/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Lisa Rinna has certainly been keeping us entertained both on and off air this RHOBH season. Rinna’s feuding with Kathy Hilton, responding to unknown own cell phone numbers and fending off Kelly Dodd’s claims that Harry Hamlin is gay. That is just the beginning. In other 90210 news, Kyle calls out LVP, LVP has receipts and we ponder, would Miss Vanderpump ever return to the show if Kyle resigns, as she claims she may be ready for. In other news, Stassi and Beau are mad, mad, mad Brittany and Jax did not attend their Italian wedding and seems they have texts to prove all sorts of things about their ex(?) BFFS? Meanwhile on the east coast, Caroline Manzo wants to return to RHONJ to put Tre in her place and Gizelle Bryant seems to have a new mystery man? Might we see him on the new season of RHOP?

Tyler Henry steps Behind The Rope. You may think you know everything about Tyler from watching his original E blockbuster show, “Hollywood Medium”, eyeing his most recent Netflix incarnation, “Life After Death”, reading his many books or attending a live show in hopes of making it off this 300,000 person long wait list for a rare live reading. Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction is his highly praised, often misunderstood, day job of a medium as well as chat about how he started, what happens during a reading, and the question on everyone’s mind, just what does really happen after we die. Of course, we deep dive the many celebs he has read - Snooki, Lala Kent, Kristin Cavallari, Carmen Electra and chat about his reading with Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner which many believe was his “cracking” of the Jordyn Woods “cheating scandal”. Of course there was also that one time Cher wanted him to stop by for a game of tennis. The more we asked Tyler about his work as a medium, the more questions we had!! @tylerhenrymedium @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.

Kelly chats about how this was such a different and lighter season now that she is single, what she learned from her last relationship and is ideally looking for in a partner. Of course we break down all of the drama - the ongoing feud between Anna Shay and Christine Chiu, the will they or won’t they of Kim and Kevin, lie detectors, empty threats and the disappearance of one Cherie Chan and Jessey Lee.

Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, new relationship with girlfriend Victoria and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently.

Eva Marcille steps Behind The Rope. Where do we begin with the woman who has done it all? Eva first came to the world’s attention when she won the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model in 2004. Eva opens up about that experience, addressing the many people who are constantly bashing Tyra, chatting about her experience with Tyra while appearing on ANTM, explaining the status of that Tyra friendship today and discussing Janice Dickinson’s recent comment a few months back about her nose. Eva takes us on the journey of how life changed as a result of winning Top Model and what the show did for her modeling career after. One door that opened as a result of ANTM, was the wonderful world of acting. Eva discusses the many parts she played including that of “Tyra” on The Young and The Restless as well as appearing in JLO’s “Live It Up” video. All roads lead back to Reality TV here Behind The Rope and in a full circle moment, Eva found herself back on Reality TV, this time as an initial “Friend Of” and then Peach Holder on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She chats about the evolution of her friendship with Nene - whose friend she was when she started with RHOA, some of her other epic up and down relationships - Porsha and Kenya we are looking at you, her cameos this past just finished season - who could resist an invitation to the Bailey-Hill wedding and the controversy surrounding throwing a star studded 250 person in the height of a global pandemic, her opinions on Nene’s “departure” and answers whether she misses the hit Bravo show and if she will ever go back. Eva also chats Tyler Perry’s “All The Queen’s Men” in which she plays lead, Madame Marilyn Deville, the owner of a high class club featuring male exotic dancers. Eve chats about how she got the part, how she researched for the part, what working with Tyler Perry was like, and what she learned about the male exotic dancer industry. Of course, we also wanted to chat all about one of her co-stars, Michael “Bolo” Bolwaire, known to us RHOA fanatics simply as Bolo, the dancer with the, #&#&, from Cynthia Bailey’s Party!!!! Model, Reality TV Star, Podcast Host, Radio Show Host, Actress. What has Eva not done?

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World’s First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America’s Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen’s “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice’s early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra’s notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. @janicedickinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CALM - www.calm.com/velvetrope (40% off unlimited access to Calm’s entire library.)

Sutton has different dating standards than EJ, Rinna is not pleased with these “different standards”, Dorit’s home was invaded, LVP has provided receipts that she reached out to The Kemsleys following said invasion and Garcelle, and a lot of viewers, seem confused as to when Erika was cleared of anything.

A RHONJ Reunion Part II and The Premiere of RHOBH! What a week and who better than to help us make sense of it all than the one, the only, Miss Kim D. That’s right? Y’all begged, borrowed and everything else under the sun for Kim D. to stay beyond RHONJ and your prayers have been answered. If you don’t think Kim D. deep diving into every week of RHOBH makes any logical sense, starting with his premiere, I have two words for you… PRESS PLAY! That is right. In true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back in her thoughts on all our favorite diamond holders. She meets Sutton, Garcelle and Crystal for the first time, has some unpopular opinions on classics such as EJ and Rinna and, of course, has a lot to say about Dorit’s home invasion. Oh yea, we also have a RHONJ reunion to get to and, if you haven’t watched, Tre is still mad, mad mad.

Christopher chats Popular, the careers it launched - his, Leslie Grossman, Leslie Bibb, and what it was like to work with Ryan Murphy before he was, well, “Ryan Murphy”. We deep dive into Ugly Betty - working with the greats like Vanessa Williams, Judith Light, America Ferrera, the cultural significance of that show and the likelihood of a reboot. Say whaat? Of course, we talk about his new role in Netflix’s “The Lincoln Lawyer” and working with Alyssa Milano on that other brilliant Netflix show, “Insatiable” - gone, but never forgotten.

What a Bravo week it has been? The RHONJ reunion has come and is almost gone, Jackie has been “demoted” as y’all like to say, Tre is still mad mad mad and we have three new women who will be filming next season, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda and Jenn Fessler. Of course, we need to clarify just who is friends with who, the definition of the word “friend” - are we being shady, and the actual likelihood that any of them will actually end up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey when it returns for its thirteenth season. Speaking of RHONJ, we break down the viral Danielle Staub parking lot video. If you have not watched it or heard of it, listen up closely as it is pure actual iconic gold in the form of one pissed AF Miss Staub, the way we have grown to love her over the years.

Bravo’s Newest Show, "Love Match Atlanta", has finally arrived. Today we welcome Shae Primus, Ming Clark and Joseph Dixon Behind the Rope. This trio is here to break it all down as far as to what we can expect this season on Love Match Atlanta. This is Bravo after all so there is no shortage of drama and the Love Doctors mention it all! While we have three experts, we had to ask relationship advice like do’s and don’ts, drinking and fooling around on a first date, money and status, celebs most requested and all the mistakes their clients commonly make which get them fired from the matchmaking club. Being local ATL residents, we had to chat our fav Peach Holders - this current RHOA season and what they would recommend for our single friends such as Miss Kenya Moore and Miss Marlo Hampton and thoughts on NeNe Leakes’ new beau! Finally, we could not help but ask what advice, if any, they sought from Bravo’s original matchmaker Patti Stanger regarding starring in their very own love show and what are their true thoughts on their west coast predecessor. In true Bravo fashion, these three do not hold back. @shaeprimusmatchmaker @mingthematchmaker @josephcdixon @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

Suzanne Sommers steps Behind The Rope. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. One of THE MOST LEGENDARY names in TV history, an author of almost thirty books, an entrepreneur in every sense of the word, an Informercial Superstar before we understood the word Informercial, a Gay Icon and so many more monikers, we could go on all day. Suzanne Sommers!!!! Hard to imagine it has been almost forty five years since Suzanne first played Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company, a show which is still as beloved today by the current gen as when it first premiered. A man pretending to be gay to live with two women in order to share the rent, Jack Tripper, Three’s Company was ahead of its time in even mentioning “gay” on a Prime Time ABC show and showing a straight man comfortable enough in his sexuality to show his “nontraditional” sensitive side making “gay” ok. Suzanne, a trailblazer, left her iconic Chrissy Snow role after five seasons demanding the equal pay of her male colleagues, a topic at the forefront of discussion in Hollywood over the past few years. Switching gears, there is no mention of Suzanne Sommers without thinking of the Iconic Thighmaster and vice versa. Back on ABC many years later as part of the Iconic TGIF lineup, Suzanne found herself opposite Dallas’ Patrick Duffy in the brilliant “Step by Step”. We had to pick Suzanne’s brain on her last book, “A New Way to Age” considering she is Seventy Four years young and is aging backward before our very eyes - no really check out our IG for pics. Although she is busy running her lifestyle empire, we had to ask if she would ever act again and who she would love to star alongside. We chat famous friends, Kardashians, RHOBH, DWTS & more. Finally, we discuss her recent statements of her “three times a day” sex life with husband and life partner, Alan Hamel. No question is off limits in this no holds bar chat with one of the most well known Icons to have ever stepped Behind The Rope. @suzannesomers @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PAIR EYEWEAR - www.paireyewear.com/VELVET (15% Off Your First Purchase) DAME - www.dameproducts.com (Enter Code VELVETROPE For 15% Off Your Order) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Before we get to today’s regularly scheduled #RHONJ deep dive, we need to address the recent claims that have surfaced all over social media that we, The Rope, David Yontef, are “The Blogger” that our good friend Teresa Giudice is accusing Margaret Josephs of leaking info to.

Moving on, Kim D - you didn’t think this week was all about us, did you? - shed’s light on her recently re-ignited spat with Joey Gorga which, according to Ms. D, “does not seem to be going away any time soon”.
