BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Vicki Gunvalson claims Bravo did not tell her that her Mom died for an hour while she filmed a scene for RHOC and that Reality TV has a dark side. Tell us something we don’t know.  Two past RHOC are prime for a return, RHOC concludes with a bang, Tamra claims she is protected by Bravo and that only 3% of the audience really hates her and last, but certainly not least, viewers compare Tamra’s toxic RHOC behavior this season to Teresa’s last RHONJ season. Ironic considering the two dislike each other thanks to Louie Ruelas.  RHOSLC has not missed a beat despite the fans fear that this season would be lackluster without Von Tease, Mike Shouhed’s abusive past resurfaces - again, Carl Radke and Danielle Olivera are rumored to be dating, Karen Huger is rumored to be carrying on all over the DMV with a younger suitor and much more! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  SONO BELLO - sonobello.com/velvet (Get Friends & Family Rates During This Fall Savings Event on Laser Assisted Lipo & More!)

Brandi Glanville urges Caroline Manzo to come out of the closet, slams her again and claps back at fans who have an issue with her, all in a series of tweets fired off over the past few weeks. Bravo is rumored to want Lisa Vanderpump out of Pump Rules - well the rumor is that they are trying to push/force her out of her own show as salary disputes remain broken down. We offer a few theories as to who is holding up salary talks - not who you think, the likelihood everyone will return, the chances of Rachel Leviss appearing and whether this once top rated Bravo show is worth investing in for one last season of closure. The Real Housewives of London is coming, Dubai is moving forward for Season 3 and RHONY is, well, chugging along. Every ex Real Housewife seems to have a new Podcast and we have a lot to say about ‘em all - and we mean all. Finally, Teresa and Louie seem to be having more financial problems than ever. Allegedly. Way to buy the lead. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices)  SONO BELLO - sonobello.com/velvet (Get Friends & Family Rates During This Fall Savings Event on Laser Assisted Lipo & More!)

Teddi Mellencamp announced her Divorce from Edwin Arroyave, her husband of thirteen years. Today, we break down Teddi’s announcement, official “I” not “We” statement, reasons for the divorce, the BravoVerse’s reaction and what happens next for Teddi and her family.  Tamra Judge has thrust herself in the middle of Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, Warner Brothers, NBC, Shed Media and Peacock TV claiming she has a picture from Vicki Gunvalson which supports Caroline’s claims against her very own employer, and Caroline’s former employer, Bravo. We break down Tamra’s claims, Vicki’s expected response and the fact that Tamra just cannot seem to avoid lawsuits one way or another. Miss Judge should expect to be deposed when and if the suit moves forward without settlement. Finally, RHOC has concluded with a bang exposing the good ole’ Shannon we have not seen all season, an Emily and Gina move that has primed them for power spots at the reunion, an all over the place Dubrow, newbies Pedranti and Katie who have secured long futures as Orange Holders, a cameo by Johnny J and one, in the best way possible, unhinged Fun “Jesus Jugs” Lexi.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma, Slade Smiley’s infamous “pig” comment, her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van? @vickigunvalson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  BRANCH BASICS - branchbasics.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Your Entire Order Of These Non-Toxic, All-Natural Cleaning Products) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  IRESTORE  (Get 25% Off iRestore’s Illumina Face Mask with the code VELVET25 at https://bit.ly/4eMcFQK) HEALTHY GUT SECRET -  HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet (Watch This Video Right Here HealthyGutSecret.com/Velvet and See Exactly How I Am Able To Stay In Shape) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Gretchen Rossi steps back Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s “Spectrum” Diagnosis, Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi. Part II starts now.  @gretchenrossi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) 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.

RHONJ may be off the air but many of our favs, who may or may not be returning, have been making quite the headlines this past week. Teresa is urging, or begging based on how you read it, everyone to sign up for some website where we can all make free money to the tune of 50K a year. We break down this very strange biz venture, share updates on Louie’s other biz ventures and answer just what is going on across the river in the Giudice / Ruelas household. Jennifer Aydin cannot seem to accept her fate that she is probably not returning to RHONJ, claims she has spoken to Andy Cohen, slams Tamra as thirsty and backtracks on many of her current statements regarding her cast mates and future of the show. Finally, Melissa Gorga shades Teresa and explains why she follows all the rules unlike her beloved sister in law. In other news, RHOP Season 9, Episode 3. The Grand Dame is in the hot seat as everyone has questions about her DUI, Gizelle remains mad over the GNA event and public headlines arise that her attorney’s motion to dismiss the case against her due to a lack of Miranda Rights has been denied. In other words, the Grand Dame in headed to face a jury for her fateful actions the night she got behind the wheel of the car, allegedly, intoxicated.  Mia is messy AF, Stacey becomes enraged with Ashley, Gizelle and Wendy are actually getting along and, even though we are only in episode three, the ladies prepare to head on a cast trip to the far away and exotic state of North Carolina. How exciting.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Crystal Kung Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey have a new Podcast and we have a lot to say. This season of RHOP continues with the two main OGS - Karen and Gizelle - still at odds. Yes, Ashley, we know you are an OG too. Jennifer Aydin continues in her five stages of grief and still seems to be clueless about the fact that she will not be returning to RHONJ.  RHOSLC continues on with Mary’s participation, Whitney and Meredith growing farther apart, Bronwyn making the rounds and much more. Katie Maloney is in love, Jen Shah’s release date is moved up again and RHONY continues on with highs, lows and everything in between. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) 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.
