BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE (David Yontef )

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.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8. The physical altercation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has finally arrived. We break down the hair drama and other facts that led up to the altercation, break down a play by play and discuss who we think is to blame for this mess of a Troubled Tulum party.  We discuss Tre’s claims that she is using Jackie to take down Marge, Rachel Fuda’s claims that Jackie is the laughing stock of Bravo, Dolores’ savage breakup with Jackie and Margaret enjoying it all just a little too much. We discuss the seemingly double standard as Jen and Danielle returned to work after suspension but Kenya Moore is not allowed to return to RHOA.  Finally, we discuss an RHONJ without Melissa and Joe, Melissa’s claims of wanting to make up with Kathy Wakile, real life fall outs with Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs and much much more as we are joined by the one and only Andrea Lopez as Teresa Giudice! @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson, otherwise know as Alex M, returns. Yup, Laguna Beach. One of the granddaddy’s of them all, or as we like to say, one of the best reality shows to ever exist. Alex explains what it was like to be a student at Laguna Beach High School when MTV came knocking on its door with the concept for a reality show that followed the lives, and interrelationships, of some of Orange County’s more “interesting” students.  Alex explains what it was like to “film” with very few reality shows, other than shows like The Real World, existing at the time. She also discusses how she felt with her “bit*h” edit once she watched the show back as the season aired. Alex also discusses what it was like to gain instant fame overnight and how life changed once that fame, and money, started to roll in. Of course, we also discuss her Laguna Beach colleagues Lauren Conrad, Jason Wahler, Stephen Colletti and Kristin Cavallari. We discuss what our fav Laguna Beach students were like way back when, and the status of each of these relationships today. Alex discusses what life was like once her time on the show ended and she moved to LA, where she initially spent a lot of time hanging out in the clubs with other friends, including some of our favorite Hill’s cast members, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt. During her time in Los Angeles she also partied with Celebs like Paris Hilton, Aaron Carter and ex boyfriend Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.  Alex discusses just how much reality TV has changed since the early days of MTV. Finally, we answer the age old question, just how “real” was Laguna Beach / The Hills. Tune in now to this blast from the past Part II chat with Alex Murrel. @alexmurrel @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  LIFEMD - lifemd.com/VELVET (Visit lifemd.com/VELVET To Start Your Weight Loss Journey Today) JONES NATURAL CHEWS (Best Natural Treats For Your Dog - Available At a Pet Store Near You) WONDERY: EVEN THE ROYALS  (You Can Binge Even the Royals Ad-Free Right Now on Wondery Plus) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Another day, another turn of events in Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”. With all the recent Real Housewives and current Bravolebrities who have come forward to state that they will not be participating in Bethenny’s cause, we deep dive just which Reality TV stars are assisting her and moving forward with super attorneys Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman. We next discuss Bethenny’s rumored reality show she pitched Bravo mere months prior, whether she is the right person to lead this charge, Andy Cohen’s response, whether Bravo is taking these claims of B’s seriously and how this could all affect many of your favorite Bravo shows as the months move on. In other news, Denise Richards’ upcoming RHOBH performance is said to be sweet revenge, the cast claims no one even missed Rinna, Erika denies Ozempic use and hurricane Sutton seems to have struck a cord with many of our favorite diamond holders as we prepare for a return date, as of today, for November 1st. Finally, we set the record straight regarding all the recent VPR Season 11 filming leaks, who has really forgiven Sandoval and who is not quite there yet and still keeping their distance. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Entire Order of The Best Shapewear) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Christopher Atkins steps Behind The Rope. Christopher is here to chat about the full anthology of his career none the least of which was his breakout role in the classic 1980 film Blue Lagoon. Christopher talks about how he got this iconic role with no acting experience or no desire to act, what working on a desolate island in Fiji was like, meeting Brooke Shields for the first time, pressure from Producers to “fall in love” with Brooke and the media’s and public’s reaction - good and bad - once the film came out. We break down life immediately after when he went from a relative unknown to world wide super stardom, the “slow years” thereafter in the business trying to secure work, an unprecedented move to “do TV” in the juggernaut Dallas and his eventual decision to stop chasing the work and become a full time Dad. We talk addiction, recovery, the fleeting highs and lows of fame, pitfalls of the business and where it is today. Finally, Christopher talks current projects, the concept of a Blue Lagoon remake, actors he would love to work with and one epic plan to star opposite Brooke Shields in a brilliant concept he has developed.

Former Pussycat Doll's member Kaya Jones steps Behind The Rope. Kaya chronicles how she came to be a member of the Pussycat Dolls in December 2003, when she was just 19 years old. After chatting about the audition process and landing the part, Kaya pulls back the curtain of what being in this group was really like. Kaya details what she calls the “toxic” (according to her, allegedly) work environment, the excruciatingly long hours, the infighting between the other PCDs and everything else you can imagine, Kaya covers it. Of course, Kaya talks about group founder and choreographer Robin Antin - what she was like, how she treated the members, what her goals for herself and for the group were and whether those goals were always consistent with the other. Kaya explains whose decision it was to transform the Pussycat Dolls from being a “burlesque performance group” to a full fledged musical band, how that transition took place, and what it took to ultimately get signed to a record deal. Kaya contributed to songs that would ultimately make up The Dolls’ first album. We discuss the mega hit “Don’t Cha” and the Dolls’ lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. In 2004, Kaya left the band during the recording of the first album claiming it was no longer fun to be in the band. After leaving the band, Kaya pursed a solo career in music. There were also those repeated times she made allegations that being in the Pussycat Dolls were like being part of a prostitution ring. Say whhhaattt? Yea, we break that one down for you. Ok umm, what? Kaya also chats about her start in the music business at 13 years old working with R. Kelly.

Last week during our live show we predicted that RHONJ would move forward with Teresa, Dolo and Rachel Fuda after this toxic, low rated season comes to a close. Radar.com listened to our live show and is reporting today that an inside source claims this as true. Are we the inside source? We break that down and discuss how likely our prediction is to come true. Denise Richards and The Wild Things has been green lit and, with the help of the same producers as RHOBH, coming to E! sometime soon. A clip has surfaced overnight from RHOBH filming and Kyle Richards is not holding back when letting Dorit Kemsley have it and we are so here for it.

Brian Dunkelman steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Brian Dunkleman. You have heard, read and imagined so much about his “story”, but today Brian is here to chat about the full trajectory of his career before hosting American Idol during its break out first season alongside that other host we have all gotten to know so well. Brian discusses how he got the Idol co-host gig, what he liked best / least, working alongside Ryan Seacrest - there we said his name, judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, and the true circumstances surrounding his departure. Brian opens up about going from a stand up comedy career to the height of fame almost overnight, with over thirty million people watching each week, back into being “unknown”, for lack of a better word. We break down the psyche behind that, the highs and lows of life - the lows were low, the concept of fame and just how addicting it can be, the public’s perception of him as making “THE colossal mistake”, and the ins and outs of real life challenges and highs he faced along the way. Brian analyzes current singing show competitions and addresses whether they work anymore, whether he is “in” on “the joke”, and the viral headline when TMZ reported he was an Uber Driver. Finally, we discuss his brilliant new documentary “Dunkleman” where he urges people to comedically “Google His Name”, the biggest misconceptions about him, and what we will all be shocked to learn from this new film!  @thebriandunkelman @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus & Ad Free Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by TENTREE - https://www.tentree.com (15% Off First Order - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by THIRDLOVE - http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet (20% Off First Purchase) Brought to you by QUIP - https://www.getquip.com/velvet (First Refill Free) Brought to you by CALIBRATE - https://www.joincalibrate.com ($50 off First Year - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

American Scandal is a podcast from Wondery that explores the darker stories that have shaped the United States. From the Unabomber to Bernie Madoff, these are stories that reveal the underbelly of America: ruthless, secretive, and power-hungry. The new season of American Scandal looks at the controversial decision made by a young government official named Daniel Ellsburg to leak the Pentagon Papers, the documents that led Americans to demand an end to the catastrophic Vietnam War. Once Ellsburg realized this terrible truth, he made the bold decision to leak the documents, and the consequences altered the course of American history.  This is just a preview of American Scandal, but you can listen to the full episode at  http://wondery.fm/AS_VelvetRope  Learn more about your ad choices.

Sergeant Jill Evans is a small-town cop in Wales with an impressive record in her job, and a less than impressive record in her love life. After three engagements, two divorces and one affair, she’s beginning to worry that love is only true in fairy tales. That is until she meets: Dean. He’s a wealthy beauty entrepreneur with his own range of toiletries. Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They kiss and fall in love. Roll credits. But that would be boring, wouldn’t it? Instead, this is a love story like no other. It’s all going so well for Jill and Dean, until Halloween night, when Dean disappears. And Sgt. Jill is left to pick up the pieces.

With several fake and false RHONJ Reunion Stories leaked as well as the leaked edited Vanderpump Rules finale, we chat about the source of these leaks, why bloggers make up “fake news” for clicks and what Bravo plans to do going forward to prevent such false info from circulating. Speaking of RHONJ, we chat about the many new claims and investigations involving Luis Ruelas, what this means for TreHuggers, the changes in Teresa’s camp as a result, and where the star of RHONJ and her hubby go from here. Déjà Vu much? Moving on to, shocker, The Scandoval, we discuss why watching Vanderpump Rules is cringeworthy at best, Tom Sandoval’s possible danger and cry for help, Raquel’s true whereabouts and whether LVP had a little too much of a hand in setting the Scandoval in motion. Whew.

A hysterical Sonja Morgan is blacklisted from a NYC hotspot after refusing to pay a $1,000 bill she thought was comped. The more things change, the more they stay the same with certain housewives who are broke, entitled and, for lack of a better word, arrogant. Thinking one is a celebrity when they are not… In other news, Andy Cohen doubles down on how The Real Housewives of Rhode Island - RHORI - is a group of tight knit Italian American women in a coastal town who live a certain lifestyle. In other words, a replacement for the once wildly popular RHONJ. Finally, RHONJ casting notices surface but all is not as it seems. Teresa makes changes in her “inner circle” and “organization” and remains, for many reasons, in denial about her TV future.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

On a personal note, Gary discusses meeting a then twenty three year old Brad Goreski on vacation in Mykonos, taking him home to LA where he never left, and turning a chance meeting in a crowded Grecian plaza into a 21 year relationship as a Hollywood Power Couple. Gary deep dives into how life changed when Brad became a reality star a la “The Rachel Zoe Project” and what it was like to appear in front of the camera with Brad on Bravo’s “It’s a Brad, Brad World”. In addition to Gary’s other mega accomplishments, he happens to be BFFs with one Lisa RHOBH Rinna. Gary chats what its like to hang with Lisa Rinna, why RHOBH is his fav franchise, what he thinks of this season, whether NeNe Leakes can “come back” from suing a network, what he really thinks of The Tale of Two RHONY’s, the return of Miss Sheree Whitfield and much more.

Carole Baskin steps Behind The Rope! No your eyes are not deceiving you. One of THE most buzzed about shows of the last decade was Tiger King and one of THE most buzzed about women of the last decade was Carole Baskin. These are facts. Today, Carole is here to dispel the many myths created as a result of that viral Netflix show regarding herself, her one time husband Don Lewis, his disappearance, and just what Big Cats have to do with all of it. Carole chats about life back in the day before Tiger King when she was just a woman married to a man together running Big Cat Rescue, a not for profit organization dedicated to Big Cat rescue, rights and activism. Of course, there was also Joe Exotic, owner of a “different type” of Big Cat organization who didn’t exactly see eye to eye with Carole. One day Netflix came calling and voila, the rest is history. Carole is very vocal here today about how she feels the finished product of Tiger King is not what she signed up for. Carole also opens up about what it is like to be the woman who is the subject of endless on line memes and chatter suggesting she killed her husband and fed him to the Big Cats and what living with such strict public scrutiny is like. We chat with Carole about the many misconceptions surrounding her public persona and answer just “who is Carole Baskin”, the woman behind all of the tabloid fodder. Carole breaks down topics such as fame and the quick education she received in handling the media. Of course, we pay homage to her star studded appearance on Dancing With The Stars, her premiere dance of course set to Survivor’s “Eye of The Tiger”. Carole discusses Joe Exotic’s guilty verdict for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to kill her and his resulting 22 year sentence. She also discussed his recent claims of Prostate Cancer and ongoing petition to be released. Of course, we had to ask what would she say to Joe if she saw him today, what are her favorite of the Big Cats, all that talk about a Tiger King 2 and will she be involved, and just what is next for the woman behind the flower headband.  @carolebaskincat @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef https://bigcatrescue.org/carole-baskin/ Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by OMAZE - https://omaze.com/velvetrope (Receive 20 Extra Entries When You Enter Code “Velvetrope” Brought to you by ROTHY’S - https://www.rothys.com/velvet ($20 Off Your First Purchase) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Love Island has just had its highest rated season ever. The Ariana effect is in full effect, no pun intended, as it is looking less and less likely that she will return to Vanderpump Rules. Lala shows a baby shower, Jax claims to have slept with both Ramona and Brandi Glanville, Rachel Leviss scores wins in court and the VPR pause remains in full effect as there is no discussion amongst Producers, Bravo or the fans about when and if this show will return. Bethenny Frankel continues her confusing summer in The Hamptons, reconnects again with Jill Zarin and finds herself in hot water, again, over recent comments, videos and social media posts which many call erratic. Finally, we spill the tea from the upcoming RHONJ alternate reunion and discuss who is likely to lose their job in a few short weeks when this season ends. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) GREENLIGHT - greenlight.com/velvetrope (Sign Up For Greenlight Today and Get Your First Month Free Of the Debit Card and Money App Made For Families) BETTERHELP - betterhelp.com/velvetrope (This Episode Is Brought To You By BetterHelp.

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. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!! @maryamons @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DRIZLY - drizly.com (Buy Beer, Wine & Liquor All From One Website) TRAILMIX GAMES - (Download Love & Pies for Free in the App Store or Google Play.)

Luis Ruelas and Bo Dietl have been sued for allegedly hacking the computers for “harassment and abuse” of Luis’ ex Vanessa Reiser. We break down the origins of these claims, deep dive the claims themselves, review Luis’ cryptic social media responses and Bo Dietl’s response, analyze what this means for next season of RHONJ and how this potentially effects RHONJ’s return in April. We discuss Teresa’s involvement in this, the fact that history could be repeating itself and chat about what she must be going through. Can someone say PTSD?

Billie Lee steps Behind The Rope.  Vanderpump Rules’ Billie Lee, that is.  Tom Sandoval’s ex BFF Billie Lee, that is.  Back before Scandoval rocked the BravoVerse and made national headlines worldwide, back before Jax, Kristen and Brittany were back on Bravo a la The Valley, back before it was announced just the other week that Stassi would be returning to the VanderWorld a la Vanderpump Villa and her own show Stassi Says as part of a Hulu development deal, we sat down with Billie Lee. Billie chats about her time on Vanderpump Rules before Scandoval in simpler times when the shows biggest drama was Jax and Stassi and Kristen and, well you know the deal.  Billie talks highs and lows, misconceptions, micro aggressions, “mean girls”, Lisa Vanderpump, her own exit from the show, the much publicized exits of Stassi, Kristen, Jax and Brittany and much more.  They say hindsight is 20/20, but we find this chat even the more interesting, looking for clues and foreshadowing of what was to come back when Ariana and Tom were still together, when Billie was BFFs with Tom and Ariana, both of which seem to no longer be true and much, much more.  Yup, it’s a VPR extravaganza. Of course, there is more to Billie than her time on VPR. She is killing it on the comedy scene as well so sip that cocktail, kick back and enjoy! @itsmebillielee @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Any Tasker For Any Task) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) BYHEART - ByHeart.com/Podcast (Use Code VELVET To Redeem Your Welcome Offer On Their Clinically Proven Easy-to-digest Infant Formula) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) HAPPY MAMMOTH - happymammoth.com (Get 15% Off With Code Velvet the Best Products For Menopause or Perimenopause) TRUVAGA - www.truvaga.com ($15 Off w/ Code Velvet on The Best Product To Enhance Your Wellness Journey) FIJI WATER - www.fijiwater.com (Pick Up The #1 Premium Imported Bottled Water Brand In The US At a Store Near You or Order Online) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Melissa’s Old Nose steps back Behind The Rope.  Gabriela, that is. Teresa, Melissa, Margaret and the rest of the cast of RHONJ has all been asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have emerged in full force over the last few weeks since the beginning of the season to reveal secret DMs, leaked Season 14 screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more. Today, the woman behind it all, Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriela - returns, a third time to, as we like to say, mention it all. She details just how she went from fan, to popular twitter handle to Teresa’s minion receiving what seems like thousands of DM’s from Teresa throughout the years with specific instructions to “tear down” her RHONJ nemeses - Margaret, Mel, Louie’s ex Vanessa and many others which she details in full. She reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, Dolores, Andy Cohen. We discuss the now involvement of BravoLebs and Famous Super Fans like Kate Chastain, Michael Rapaport and others who were seemingly part of Tre’s take down plan. The more Melissa’s Old Nose revealed, the more questions we had regarding the secret, toxic nature of what really goes on Behind The Scenes, off camera with the RHONJ cast past and present.

As the RHONJ pause continues on, one has to wonder if Bravo’s dilemma of choosing between Teresa and Melissa is solving itself due to Teresa and Luis’ latest financial problems. One also has to wonder if Bravo is secretly happy Teresa’s problems are mounting which would essentially make their decision for them as far as who will be returning, should the show actually ever come back, between the Table Flipper and her Sister In Law.  Kathy Wakile accuses Melissa Gorga of lying, reveals her new message for Teresa and talks about returning to RHONJ. In other news, Melissa Gorga claps back at cousin Kathy and reveals info about conversations she has had regarding her RHONJ spinoff and what that would entail. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Dorit and PK are getting a divorce to no one's surprise. As predicted, now that RHOBH Season 14 has ended and contracts are out for Season 15, Dorit has announced that she has hired a top, no nonsense, shark of an attorney to represent her in what is about to be a nasty, bitter all out divorce. PK is caught kissing Ryan Seacrest’s ex. Or is he? The paparazzi sure seem to be on hand for divorce filings, kisses, no make up or glam school pick ups and drops offs, not to mention the now infamous “social distancing” pics from yesterday at Jagger’s baseball game. What is real? What is staged? Is PK playing Dorit? Is Dorit playing PK? Are they both playing all of us? Does it really even matter as Dorit and PK lawyer up and prepare to dissolve it all, in front of us, next season on RHOBH.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MY LIFE IN A BOOK - ⁠mylifeinabook.com ⁠(Use Code Velvet For 15% Off To Create a Unique Gift For Mother’s Day)  DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠Redrazz.org⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) WARBY PARKER - ⁠www.warbyparker.com/velvet⁠ (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually or Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Charlene is here to chat about the full anthology of her career and what it was like being part of one of the most Iconic shows of all time, Dallas. Charlene reminisces about being cast, the early days on set with co-stars such as Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, and Victoria Principal - to name a few, the highs and lows of Lucy Ewing, best and worst storylines for the character, and how life changed as a result of Dallas.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, Carole Baskin steps Behind The Rope! Since so much has happened in the world of Big Cats and Tiger Kings since Ms. Baskin was here last, we did the only thing we could think of - call her back for more! Carole is here to chat about many of the real life events which have taken place since our last chat - Joe Exotic being re-sentenced for Murder for Hire which could potentially lead to shorter jail time, his announcement that he is accepting applications in jail for a boyfriend, his desire for this search for love to become Netflix’ new break out show, “Bachelor King” - no really, Google it, and Joe’s ex boyfriend Dillon Passage’s own announcement that he has found love in the form of his new seemingly age appropriate, Instagram official, boyfriend John. Carole also chats about the new Peacock Series, “Joe VS Carole” starting John Cameron Mitchell (“Hedwig" Shout Out) as Joe Exotic and Kate McKinnon as Carole. Speaking of actresses to play Carole, the last time she was here she listed Meryl Streep as her top choice. We share an update on that - has she heard from Meryl and how did that conversation go? Finally, we all know Carole can dance a la Dancing With The Stars (yes, we chat Tyra!), but we get to know the most famous woman in all of Big Cat Rescue chatting about what she likes to do for fun, what is going on in the world of Big Cat Rescue today and just what is next for this fearless powerhouse that is unapologetically committed to her cause of Big Cat Rescue who won’t ever stop until all the cats are safe.

Another day, another interview with half truths, fabrications, playing dumb and legit outright lies from the TreHugger’s once queen Teresa Giudice. With all the RHOBH casting news circulating, a brand new Jax vs Sandoval feud we did not know we needed but are kinda living for, Angela Oakley’s insta iconic shade about lips that have miles on them, we have much better things to talk about. That said, Teresa has done a series of interviews claiming that what we have all witnessed with our very own eyes - court documents, past testimony and comments all over social by Juicy - never really happened. In other news, Tre has banned Heather McDonald and is about to ban Kelly Dodd due to newly discovered information - by us. Finally, legit RHONJ casting news has arisen with hints that Bravo may be closer to it’s dream cast than many initially thought thanks to new tactics, strategies and one aggressive campaign to fix this very broken franchise.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Vanderpump Rules Season 11. With rumors of cast make ups (have Scheana and Lala really forgiven Sandoval?), Tom Sandoval filming group scenes with Ariana and still no Raquel Leviss, we brought back Rachel Uchitel to help break it all down. Does anyone else see the similarities between the Rachel’s Uchitel and Leviss. Rachel Uchitel was blasted in the media, just like Leviss, all those years ago for her involvement with Tiger Woods, a narrative which still follows, and often haunts her, today. Rachel shares her story here today and we delve into the media’s obsession with bringing people down, the misogyny of it all when the “woman” is blamed much more significantly than the “married” man, how celebrities and people in the public eye are often misunderstood when defined by one moment in time, Rachel’s “Tiger” NDA, the validity and legality of NDAs when they are overly harsh and one sided and so much more. As we said, anyone see the similarities between these two Rachels? In other news, Rachel talks about her feuds throughout the years with the likes of Joy Behar, Janice Dickinson and, most recently, Wendy Williams. Of course, there was that one time she dated our very own Paul “PK” Kemsley pre Dorit. Way to bury the lead. All this and more! @racheluchitelnyc @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef To Listen To Rachel’s Podcast “Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel” Click Here - “Misunderstood” BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Entire Order of The Best Shapewear) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry Springer. A trailblazer. The first. An Icon. A man who at one time was more famous than Oprah. The Godfather of Reality TV.  I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jerry not once but twice to chat about his prolific career. Today we share both of these chats as we look back and honor Jerry’s life well lived. Jerry chats about the full anthology of his career which, of course, includes the groundbreaking Jerry Springer Show and all those trailblazing disputes, wig pulls, accusations, cheating rumors, paternity issues and everything else under the sun that laid the groundwork for The Real Housewives of every city which we have come to know and love today. Jerry recalls highlights, outrageous guests and some of the most shocking moments. We chat with Jerry about current day Reality TV and his role in helping create the landscape of Housewives, Fiancés That Last for 90 Days and Love that Comes After Being Locked Up and / or Happens on an Island. Jerry also opens up about the current offerings of Daytime TV - Ellen, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd - his favorites, not so favorites and how cancel culture has come to play a role in it all. We pay homage to some of Jerry’s other forays into television - a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, a judge on America’s Got Talent, playing himself on Roseanne and his recent short lived star turn as The Beetle on Fox’s super hit The Masked Singer. Jerry reflects back on a career most can only dream of discussing highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of himself, his legacy and how he wants to be remembered. Let’s all chant it together.

Flipping Out’s Megan Weaver returns Behind The Rope. Megan takes us back to the beginning, her first job working as a Production Assistant for Steven Spielberg which led to run ins with Antonio Banderas, Tom Hanks, and oh, there was that one time she stayed in Leo DiCaprio’s Malibu Beach House. One day she met Jeff Lewis in a restaurant bathroom, and soon Megan found herself working for our favorite House Flipper and starring on Bravo’s Hit Show, “Flipping Out”. Megan, being a prior fan of the show, recalls how excited she was during her interview when Zoila and Jenni were there, floating around working at Jeff Lewis Design. We talk about some of Megan and Jeff’s Housewife BFFS, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Storms Beador and Teddi Mellencamp. Yes Megan and Jeff did Teddi’s much criticized ALL IN Program. Do tell. She does! Megan discusses the fall out between Jeff and Jenni Pulos, the current status of that relationship, how that affected her own relationship with Jenni and what she predicts for the future of that relationship. Megan also opens up about Jeff’s relationship with Gage Edward, the end of that relationship and Jeff’s new man, Scott Anderson. We also discuss her work on Lala and Randall’s house as well as Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green's house. Speaking of Brian Austin Green (anything for a shameless 90210 reference), Jeff’s current neighbor is Machine Gun Kelly which leads to a very interesting conversation!  @megancatalina @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Or Get The Rakuten App to Start Earning Cash Back Today When You Shop Over 3,500 Stores!)

Monica Garcia is Reality Von Tea(se). She is also Reality Von Tea(se) 2, 3 and every other iteration of the account that is, was and will be. Salt Lake’s very own Gossip Girl. We react to this shocking revelation and what will arguably go down in history as one of the best finale’s in Real Housewives history. We break just how Monica went from fan, to Jen Shah employee, to playing a role in Jen’s demise, to Bravo employee as a full time RHOSLC to the mastermind behind this troll account that because the mere definition of operating from the inside out. She came, she saw, she slayed, she conquered. There is little that shocks us these days when it comes to Housewives but game well played Miss Garcia. As for Monica's housewives future, press play!!!! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
