BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

The Real Housewives of DC’s Cat Ommanney steps Behind The Rope. With all this nostalgia running rapid in the BravoVerse these days, we figured it a great time to share this chat with the Real Housewives of DC OG - there was only one season after all - Cat Ommanney. Cat shares stories that sound like they are straight out of Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning, it makes us wonder if she has called B or her team of super powered attorneys. Cat gets reminiscent about what it was like to film the one season wonder, shares her feelings on her cast-mates Mary Amons, Linda Erkiletian, Stacie Scott Turner and last, but certainly not least, Michaele Salahi (now Schon)  and fills us in on the status of those relationships today. On a more serious note, Cat discusses the issues of racism and politics that were ever present during the RHODC season. Of course, we address how the show was impacted by the worldwide, viral country security breach of the Salahi's “crashing” The White House Dinner. We discuss the implications of having production temporarily shut down, the involvement of the FBI, the federal investigation not only into the Salahis but Bravo as well, and why the show was not “green lit” for a much needed second season. Oh hey there Michaele and Tareq. In typical Cat fashion, nothing is held back and we wouldn’t expect anything less.  @catommanney @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral got into an altercation this past week. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral were suspended while Bravo investigated the incident. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have resumed filming RHONJ Season 14 and are back to work. We break our silence on the matter, investigate what truly happened, discuss what this means for the rest of Season 14, analyze why both women have returned to work, chat about what this means for the future of RHONJ, share our thoughts on who was in the right and who was in the wrong and count the seconds before one Miss Bethenny Frankel says, “See, I told ya so” a la her “Reality Reckoning”. Speaking of RHONJ, we discuss the alliance shifts - Jackie vs Marge, Jackie and Teresa’s new friendship, Jackie and Jennifer Aydin, Melissa and Danielle Cabral and much more. Finally, we discuss which RHONJ are having a good season, which are having a bad season and why we will see much less of Joey Gorga, Luis Ruelas and the House Husbands when RHONJ Season 14 returns next year. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/90027133/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Based on last season of RHONJ and the current tea being spilled from this season of RHONJ, we have to start today’s show with a very basic statement that everyone on, in and associated with RHONJ has lost their mind. Moving on, we analyze whether Shannon’s DUI is the best storyline ever or will cause her to lose her job and doll out advice on what she needs to do to turn her life around and overcome this trauma. For all those who think we should start an advice podcast in our non existent spare time, this one is for you. Next we analyze what could be Bethenny Frankel’s true motives for the “Reality Reckoning”, why we would benefit from these motives and, once again, ask whether Bethenny is one step ahead of all of us in seeing the future of Reality TV, its methods of distribution and how to profit off this juggernaut medium. Finally, we share our Only Fans update, deep dive the official BravoCon schedule, discuss Melissa and Teresa’s potential BravoCon reunion and share all our thoughts from The Countess’ Cabaret in Philly which we attended this past week.

As the days pass and more info is revealed about Shannon Beador’s DUI, Hit & Run and subsequent arrest, the more questions we have. Today we address subjects such as where Shannon really was the night of her crash, who was she really with, what was Archie doing in the car, who are her real friends in this time of need from RHOC and who is sucking up for clicks, is she really getting the treatment she needs and last, but certainly not least, will this affect her Bravo future. Can anyone say Bethenny Frankel three times really loud. Speaking of Bethenny, we share a status update on her Reality Reckoning, review and recap this week of RHOSLC and pay homage to Mary Cosby with a “Best Of” segment. Finally, we spill the tea on our night in Vegas this past week with Erika Jayne, reveal what she had to say about Rinna, Dorit and Kyle and for those thinking of purchasing tickets, recap and review “Bet On Blonde”. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off The Best Skincare Products With Code VELVET) AQUATRU - aquatrue.com (20% Off Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Jonathan Anitn steps back Behind The Rope. Yes, that Jonathan Antin from the classic hit Bravo show, Blow Out. A blast from the past, here to tell it all.  Does everyone know Patti Stanger has a new show coming to the CW? That got us thinking of Bravo of yesteryear and, as a result, today we share this chat we had during our first year with the one and only Jonathan Antin. We pick up right where we left off during our last sit down. Jonathan explains how he got hired as one of the lead judges on Bravo’s Shear Genius after Blow Out had ended. We discuss host Camila Alves and prior host Jaclyn Smith. We also discuss one of Shear Genius' contestants, Tabatha Coffey. Jonathan gives us his opinion of Tabatha, discusses whether he thinks she should have won her season, lets us know if her tough as nails persona is an act or real, and finally answers the question of whether she deserved her own show. Speaking of Bravolebrites, we discuss Jackie Warner’s appearance on Blow Out, what went wrong and the status of their relationship today. We also discuss all the other celebrities who appeared on Blow Out such as loyal clients Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin (they had other reality shows in the mix with Jonathan also - we discuss), Kristen Bell, Kate Bosworth, and, last but not least, sister Robin Antin, founder of The Pussycat Dolls. Jonathan tells some fun stories about his other Celeb clients, Courtney Love, Ricky Martin, Brad Pitt, Steven Tyler, Leo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow and, way to bury the lead, Queen Madonna (Lourdes in Tow)! We discuss the pressures from Bravo for Jonathan to involve his family in the show and how Blow Out came to an end shortly after his lack of a desire to do so. Finally, Jonathan opens up about the early days of Bravo, the origins of WWHL, his up and down relationship with Andy Cohen and what he thinks of how the network has evolved throughout the years.  @jonathanantin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Your Zone With a 30 Day Worry-Free Home Trial of Peloton Bikes) WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Actually Works) STARBUCKS - (Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!

Did someone say $candoval 2.0? Next we share an update on Bethenny’s “Reality Reckoning”, break down her next move and share which Bravolebs are not at all happy with Ms. Frankel these days.

Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” Attorney Mark Geragos steps Behind The Rope. The man, the myth, the legend! As you know, Bethenny Frankel has started a Reality Reckoning. So much has been written, discussed, blogged about and hypothesized regarding Bethenny’s motivation, goals, and claims. Rather than speculate like the others, we figured we would go right to the source, Mr. Mark Garagos, who, along with fellow super attorney Bryan Freedman, have already spent countess hours hearing countless stories from Bravolebrities past and present regarding wages, contracts, working conditions, alleged false imprisonment, alleged forced alcohol, alleged revenge porn and much, much more. Mark helps make sense of the stories, claims and goals as we touch upon subjects such as Andy Cohen, Bethenny’s interview with Raquel Leviss, Raquel’s sexually explicit video, Bravo NDA’s, Real Housewives from every franchise and just what happens next in Miss Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” which is a force of nature that does not seem to be slowing down any time soon!!! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Your Zone With a 30 Day Worry-Free Home Trial of Peloton Bikes) WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Actually Works) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) STARBUCKS - (Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!

That got us thinking of Bravo of yesteryear and, as a result, today we share this chat we had during our first year with the one and only Jonathan Antin. Jonathan fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV screens. Jonathan explains how he was cast, the "reality” of the show Blow Out, his “employee” Brandon, his on screen “bad boy” image, and what filming was really like. Jonathan discusses Andy Cohen who, being an Executive Producer on Blow Out, was heavily involved in the show. Jonathan explains how, once Blow Out had ended, he almost had his own show “Salon Nightmares" - think Gordon Ramsay for Salons (hey we would watch that) and explains the circumstances which led to the demise of that show. Finally, we discuss the early days of Bravo and what the neophyte network was like back then during Jonathan’s tenure on Blow Out. We are just getting started.  @jonathanantin @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) 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 Upgrade Your Job Post) STARBUCKS - (Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!

Kathryn Edwards is back yet again this week. You have asked for this daily so we figured why not two weeks in a row. Y’all deserve it after the year we have had together!! You have wished for this hourly and today that wish has come true. Kathryn is here to help uncover the truth behind Lisa Rinna’s much publicized RHOBH exit, her claims that, still to this day, she left on her own accord, the many past RHOBH who filmed this upcoming Season Thirteen - Camille, Denise, Kim, Teddi, why none are holding a diamond, whether Brandi’s rumored behavior on RHUGT Four is enough, if true, to get her banned from Bravo and oh, so very much more. Much to our delight, we also chat RHOP, RHONY, RHOSLC and much more. The RHOBH catch up extravaganza, that you have asked for hourly, is finally here with the one and only, our good friend always and forever, Miss Kathryn Edwards!!!  @katedwards8 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88981023/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season Four. The return of Mary Cosby. The introduction of Jen Shah’s ex assistant, turned FBI Informant, turned Snow Flake Holder. Does Monica really know where all the bodies are buried and is Jen Shah justified for being outraged, from prison, that her name was mentioned so many times? The answers to these and many more burning questions as we break down the return of this once stellar, then not so stellar, franchise and share all our thoughts for the rest of the season. Heading east, we share what we know from RHONJ Season 14 filming, discuss the fact that Tre and Mel are still not speaking and explain why this once explosive franchise will seem tame and non toxic when it returns to our Bravo screens in Q1 next year. All this, plus a RHONJ FBI update.

This time we attend, in one of our home states, Los Angeles, with Miss Sarah in tow.

Jack Osbourne steps Behind The Rope. The man, the myth, the legend is here to mention it all. A member of the first family of Reality TV, Jack chats about what is was like to have been catapulted into super stardom overnight when The Osbournes broke the mold and created the genre of a famous family on Reality TV when it first premiered on MTV in 2002. Jack peels back the curtain of what Reality TV was like back when there was no roadmap due to being “the first”, no breaking of the fourth wall or producer involvement and discuses what it was like to work alongside family Kelly, Sharon and Ozzy! We break down all the famous families that have come after, most notably The Kardashians, what the state of Reality TV is today a la Real Housewives and would Jack and family really ever consider a true reboot? Jack also chats about his Discovery show, “Jack Osbourne’s Haunted Homecoming” where he does what he does best, tracking the paranormal. Jack chats DWTS and share’s rare updates on the fam - Kelly, Sharon and Ozzy, talks fatherhood and what is next for this Reality TV star and super producer who does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.  @jackosbourne @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 Upgrade Your Job Post) STARBUCKS - (Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!
