BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Erika Jayne has new music. Say whatttt? We chat about what we can expect, will anyone download and will there be a Pretty Mess 2022 Tour? So many questions, so little time. In other RHOBH news, Garcelle had a close encounter with Bill Cosby, rumors swirl that newbie Sheree Zampino saw a rat at Rinna’s, Rinna denies, and PK wants to hire Sherlock Holmes to find the tweet LVP allegedly sent after the Kemsley home invasion. Down the street, in the Valley, we share updates on the TomKat divorce and ponder whether Tom and Katie really can remain friends as the VanderDivorce plays out in the public eye. Heading east, Gizelle clarifies and breaks down the rumors that she is with Peter Bailey, Lenny Hochstein is over Lisa which we will see play out on the next season of RHOM, Southern Charm has some newbies which we get to know, and there is a mole inside the RHONJ camp that needs to be exposed. Yup, all that and we are just getting started. @thesarahfrasershow @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) 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.

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.

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!

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.

Raw and unfiltered, Margaret Josephs like you have never heard her before. Hey, it pays to be a friend of a Housewife and not some blogger looking for clout (thanks for the WWHL shout out Marge!) Finally, looking ahead to next season, we discuss where does this fractured cast, specifically her relationship with Tre, go from here and how can filming begin a “rumored” few weeks from now. @therealmargaretjosephs @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DORMEO - www.dormeo.com/VELVET (15% Off Your First Purchase) LEMONADA MEDIA “BEING Trans” - (Out Now Wherever You Get Your Podcasts) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Kim shares her recent texts from Dolo, what we can expect from next week’s reunion with house husband walk outs, b*tch boy references, Bill Aydin’s chance to speak, speak, speak, no love loss between The Marge - thank you for The WWHL Shout Out - and Tre and one seemingly epic breakdown from Daddy Cohen himself.

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.

Carson Kressley steps Behind The Rope. We start at the beginning when Carson broke out into the public eye as one of the five original Queer Eye Guys on Queer Eye for The Straight Guy. The original first Reality Show on Bravo! We chat about what Bravo was like back in 2003 when Andy Cohen was in Corporate and not yet on air talent or the mega producer he is today and what it was like to go from a booming fashion career to one of the most recognizable men in America. We break down how Bravo has changed over the years from the channel that Queer Eye started to the house that Real Housewives built. Car Car chats his best / worst dressed Housewives, best / worst dressed Housewife franchise, and his many interactions with Real Housewives over the years. Of course, we chat about being a contestant on Celeb Apprentice, Dancing With the Stars and the many other Reality Shows (shout out Big Brother) he has been involved in. Carson breaks down celeb culture, best / worst dressed, red carpets, the future of fashion in the entertainment biz and the current Netflix installation of Queer Eye which has, once again, taken the nation by storm. Finally, we chat about Carson’s day job as a Judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race / All Stars - the contestants, judges, queens, and, last but not least, Mama Ru. @carsonkressley @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: LATHER- www.lather.com/velvet (15% Off Your Order with Code VELVET) PELOTON - www.onepeloton.com (See Website for More Information) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Tiffany Moon steps Behind The Rope. The good doctor is back! Tiffany opens up about the end of The Real Housewives of Dallas, who would have been in and out if RHOD returned, the rumored new cast members in the mix when the announcement was made, the allegations that RHOD was cancelled in part due to racial overtones, other reasons why RHOD was cancelled, if RHOD was in fact cancelled a la the use of the word “hiatus”, and who she is still in good graces with today, including RHOD OG Miss Leanne Locken. Of course with RHUGT, everyone could get a second chance which we discuss and the likelihood and outcome of casting Kameron Westcott along with Dr. Moon on a future Housewives Girls Trip. Of course we chat current Bravo goings on like the exit of Mary Cosby on RHOSLC, Jen Shah / Erika Jayne, the future of RHONY, current season RHONJ and much more. We also address important Housewives matters such as closet envy, the appropriate candle wick from a scientific point of view for optimal burn and a Married to Medicine Dallas edition. Finally, when we think of Dr.Tiffany Moon we think anesthesiologist extraordinaire but not necessarily funny. Well, get ready to have your opinion changed as Tiffany chats about her second ever Stand Up Comedy Routine at LA’s The Laugh Factory, her comedy career and more!. Hey, that is pretty major. Who says there isn’t life after Real Housewives. @tiffanymoonmd @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: LATHER- www.lather.com/velvet (15% Off Your Order with Code VELVET) PELOTON - www.onepeloton.com (See Website for More Information) MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Flipping Out’s Fan Fav Jenni Pulos! Have y’all heard this chat way back when it was first released, before many of you stepped Behind The Rope. We didn’t think so. Today we share with you Fan Fav Jenni Pulos to Mention It All!! Jenni Pulos steps Behind The Rope. Jenni fills us in on what she has been up to in life since we last saw her on our TV screens on the hit Bravo show Flipping Out. These days it is a whole lot of home schooling and family time from her home in SoCal and, in true Jenni fashion, she makes it all fun. We would expect nothing less from this Bravo fan fav. Originally from Portland Oregon, Jenni came to California for school and never left. Having pursued an acting career early on, Jenni once appeared in a movie with Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger. She was also on an episode of Charmed with Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty (OMG!!). Jenni describes what it was like to be an actress and suddenly find herself a key component in a hit reality TV show. She describes the concept of how Flipping Out came about, how the show morphed into something different than what was originally intended, what filming was like and what she thought about the finished product once aired. Jenni offers advice to anyone starting out in Reality TV, discusses the high and lows of her tenure on Flipping Out and what it was like to have your wedding filmed on national TV. Of course, we discuss Jenni's illustrious rap career and her classic children’s songs such as Poo in the Potty, Take Your Vitamins and No Fighting, No Biting. Speaking of Rap and Hip Hop, Jenni and David bond over their favorites 50 Cent, Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown as well as some of Jenni’s Real Housewife Friends Shannon Beador, Lisa Vanderpump, Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge. Finally, we discuss one of the most important contributions to society over the past decade, the WWHL Theme Song which Jenni co-wrote. We need ALL the details please! A fun filled episode with this fan fav.

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney have broken up. We analyze he breakup that rocked the BravoVerse - should we be shocked, were there warning signs, and how they are now, seemingly working on consciously uncoupling - still living together, lunch dates for the paparazzi, asking their VanderFriends to “not take sides”. In other news, we break down what is about to be a rough sophomore season for one Kathy Hilton over on RHOBH - the rumored “slurs”, trouble with both Erika Jayne and Rinna and much more. Are Kathy, Paris and Nicki now still happy Kathy joined RHOBH. Countess Lu made nation headlines this week, Wendy Williams broke her silence and Kanye is acting stranger by the day. All this and much more Housewives tea! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: RESET - www.reset.com/velvet (Reset's science-based plan only requires two strict Reset Days each week - the other five days, you have the freedom to eat without rules or restrictions!)

Kelly Rutherford steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Kelly Rutherford. Kelly is here to chat about her epic career that has led to parts in two of the most iconic shows in TV history, Melrose Place and Gossip Girl. Kelly chats about playing Megan Lewis in Melrose Place - how she was cast, fav / least fav storylines, behind the scenes stories, working with Lisa Rinna, Heather Locklear, Alyssa Milano, Marcia Cross, and Darren Star, to name a few. Kelly also chats about playing Lily van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl - the hype surrounding GG which made household names out of all its stars, the epic love story of Lily and Rufus, the mystery surrounding Gossip Girl’s identity, UES NYC, working with Blake Lively, set visits by Ryan Reynolds, and guest appearances by one Tinsley Mortimer as well as Cyndi Lauper.
