NYC Prep. One of the gone, but definitely not forgotten, classic Bravo TV shows. Born and raised on New York City’s Upper East Side, Sydney Sadick’s childhood “was” NYC Prep. She has lived the real life “Gossip Girl”. On that note, she stops by to help us break down the classic Bravo TV Show “NYC Prep” which aired for one season, nine episodes, in the summer of 2009. Being the same age as the cast of “NYC Prep”, Sydney remembers the buzz amongst the uptown private elite school system that a real life Gossip Girl was casting way back when. Sydney chats with us about which of the six "NYC Prep” cast members she grew up with and what she knows about each in real life. Next we discuss just how does a show chronicling the lives of six wealthy uptown teenagers get made when those teenagers are going out at night living their lives as if they are adults. We discuss the highs and lows of the show and the public's outcry once the show was aired. We also discuss the glaring lack of parental supervision shown in “NYC Prep” and Sydney breaks down just how accurate a portrayal of a wealthy uptown teenager’s life the show was. We discuss why the show did not make it and only lasted for one short lived season. Of course, we also pay homage to its West Coast sister, “The Hills” and its Scripted Cousin “Gossip Girl”. @sydneysadick @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GROW THERAPY - GrowTherapy.com/VELVET (Whatever Challenges You’re Facing, Grow Therapy Is Here To Help) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

Shaman Durek steps Behind The Rope. Bling Empire’s Shaman Durek that is. Shaman Durek chats with us about how one becomes a Shaman, what exactly does a Shaman do, how can a Shaman help each and every one of us in our daily lives, and what are the biggest misconceptions of a Shaman. We delve deep into topics like social media and fame obsession, how people are often their own worst enemies, the affect Reality TV has on us as a society, the use of outside stimulants such as sex, drugs, alcohol to help numb the pain of daily life and what is needed in order to gain complete peace of mind in the fast paced world we live in today. Deemed “Shaman to the Stars”, we discuss other famous clients, besides our favs over on Bling Empire, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Nina Dobrev, and Chord Overstreet. In fact, Gwyneth is one of Shaman Durek’s best friends and we chat about what that is like. It is clear Shaman Durek is living an authentic life, even if that life involves dating a member of The Royal Family, The Princess of Norway. Finally, we ask Shaman Durek if he has picked up on any vibes from Behind The Rope during our time together and if he can advise us on how to live a happier, kinder, more peaceful life. Happy New Year!

It is only a week from the RHOSLC finale and one thing has become very clear to our fav group of snowflakes. Meredith is not alright, or, that is at the very least what Bad Weather would like us all to believe. Whitney accused, Mary cried and Bronwyn let us know that nine months ago she saw Seth out with a woman in NYC. Can someone say intervention? Oh, and for those keeping track, everyone still dislikes Britani. In other news, Heather Durbow is leaving RHOC to make room for Vicki. That is, according to Crystal Kung and Mercedes Javid. Vicki stole Dubrow’s orange in a move no one saw coming. Last, but not least, Denise Richards has been served and evicted from her rental in which she, along with ex Aaron, are said to owe 84K in back rent. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Brenda K. Starr steps Behind The Rope. Brenda chats with us about what it was like to find success and hit it big in the late 1980’s with her most well known song “I Still Believe”. We chat about some of her contemporaries at the time, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Tina Turner and Debbie Gibson. Speaking of contemporaries, a little known singer named Mariah Carey used to sing background for Brenda. One day Brenda handed a demo to Columbia Records Executive Tommy Mottola at a party on behalf of Mariah and, as they say in the biz, the rest is history. Brenda opens up about what Tommy was really like both as a person and as a Record Exec who helped launch her career. Brenda also discusses how she really feels about Mariah covering "I Still Believe”, which has now become one of her biggest hits, breaks down where Mariah’s “diva” and “difficult” reputation originates from, and discusses how true she feels those monikers are. She spares no detail in explaining exactly why her and Mariah no longer speak and what she would say if she crossed paths with her today. Why does it not shock us that the name Wendy Williams comes up in this conversation. There was also Mariah’s wedding and being seated at a table with both Gloria Estefan and Barbara Streisand. Of course, we delve deep into Mariah’s “The Meaning of Mariah” book which hit shelves last year - Brenda shares her thoughts, discusses what is accurate and what she would like to rebut, Mariah’s short lived reality docu series “Mariah’s World” - Stella, Bryan, Nick Cannon, and the many misconceptions in the media about Brenda’s relationship past and present with Mariah Carey.

Over in RHOBH land, Amanda Frances may have come in with a bang last week, but this week one thing is clear, she definitely does not give one F in the absolute best way possible. Miss Frances is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers no matter how long there diamond holder has been on the show. Dorit receives some very bad news and Andy Cohen is there to help her out.

Speaking of Sutton, she is happy as can be these days and a blooming friendship with Erika is in full effect.
