BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

The Valley is facing a big cast shake up amidst a season of low ratings, troubling personal issues which have spilled over into the real world and the absence of Jax for more than half the season. The Valley Producers scream fake news. Today we separate fact from fiction and get to the bottom of what the future of the VPR spin-off really looks like. In other news, Andy Cohen plays favorites - again, RHONY makes a final attempt at a return, RHOA brings the friendship fall outs - hey Porsha and Shamea - and fake story lines, Shahs prepares to return, BravoCon causes tons of drama for Bravolebs and fans alike, Dolores plays even more games than usual and last, but not least, Teddi Mellemcamp is rumored to be prime for a return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when the cast is announced any day now.  @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BOLL & BRANCH - ⁠ bollandbranch.com/velvetrope⁠⁠ (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) MINT MOBILE- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mintmobile.com/velvetrope ⁠⁠ (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) WARBY PARKER - ⁠⁠⁠www.warbyparker.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) PROMESCENT - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠promescent.com/velvet ⁠⁠(Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) 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.

Now that the dust has settled after being kicked out of two establishments in two states, Sonja Morgan has emerged with a defense like none we have ever heard before. Danielle Staub slams Margaret Josephs as a thief, puts Dolores Catania in her place and amuses us to no end in the process. Speaking of RHONJ land, Joey Gorga confirms a major rumor which he probably should not have even spoken on… yet. The Summer House reunion looks drop, Porsha and Shamea hit the point of no return, Lisa Rinna makes power moves, Lala has a scare, Teresa doubles down and hits new lows to no ones shock and last, but certainly not least, the Fox Force Five reunite and reminisce…kinda! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

As RHOBH prepares to announce its new cast line up any day now, Sutton Stracke makes another attempt at reconciling with Garcelle which seems to have set off a whole new chain of events that are not beneficial for anyone involved. Southern Charm’s new season is well underway with OGs, newbies and no shortage of drama. After having just made up a few weeks back, Thomas Ravenel slams Patricia Altschul as “disgusting sc$m” who lies. Of course this involves Kathryn. Speaking of Kathryn… Finally, today we separate fact from fiction in the she said, she said friendship fallout of Porsha and Shamea, which friendships are next to be fractured and why real friends never last when it comes to the Real Housewives Franchise.  ⁠@promescent⁠ ⁠@behindvelvetrope⁠ ⁠@davidyontef⁠ BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROMESCENT - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠promescent.com/velvet ⁠⁠(Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) BOLL & BRANCH - ⁠ bollandbranch.com/velvetrope⁠⁠ (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) MINT MOBILE- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mintmobile.com/velvetrope ⁠⁠ (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) WARBY PARKER - ⁠⁠⁠www.warbyparker.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Streaming Now on Hulu) 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.

Lisa Vanderpump has two shows on TV now - Vanderpump Villa and The Valley - and another on the way - Vanderpump Rules 2.0 - but has the allure behind the pink curtain of Villa Rosa lost its allure? We break down all three shows and deep dive the theory of LVP returning to RHOBH that may not be as insane as it once sounded, despite Lisa’s many claims of pigs flying and the sort. Meanwhile, Kristen Doute emerges as the true winner of The Valley. Stassi and Beau try to “work it out”. Jax and Brittany reveal more demons by the day. Finally, Jesse, Janet and the gang all jockey for air time as good news and bad news emerge for the cast as this season of The Valley chugs along. All this and more so tune in now! ⁠⁠@robkschulte⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@behindvelvetrope⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@davidyontef⁠⁠ BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MINT MOBILE- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mintmobile.com/velvetrope ⁠⁠ (Get Your Summer Savings & Shop Premium Wireless Plans) BOLL & BRANCH - ⁠ ⁠⁠bollandbranch.com/velvetrope⁠⁠ (Get 15% Off Plus Free Shipping On Your First Set Of The Most Comfortable Sheets) WARBY PARKER - ⁠⁠⁠www.warbyparker.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (Try On Any Pair of Glasses Virtually of Visit One of Their Over 270 Locations) 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) PROMESCENT - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠promescent.com/velvet ⁠⁠(Or Use Code VELVET15 For 15% Off The Delay Spray To Help Guys “Last Longer”) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) 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.

As usual Teresa Giudice has listened to our Pod, is not happy with us, and in an unusual turn of events, has responded. Teresa is busy spreading some half truths regarding her future with Bravo, her interest - or lack thereof - in joining Bravo’s upcoming Wife Swap, her excitement - or lack thereof - in The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI), Andy Cohen’s comments that RHORI is about a group of Italian Americans which will give RHONJ a run for its money and oh, so very much more. Gia Giudice uses Auntie Mel and Uncle Joey for clicks as she prepares for her “very own” “Next Gen”. Last, but certainly not least, Sonja Morgan cries out for help for a second time in under a week as she is almost arrested - allegedly - for trespassing, labeled "persona non grata" in a second state - Florida - to add to her NYC “unwanted” moniker, is carted away in an ambulance which was almost a police car and has a message for everyone which is broken down, discussed and analyzed to the core herein today! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Four new shows announced, the  end of RHONJ and RHONY and so much more has been happening in the BravoSphere over the past few weeks. Today we take a trip down memory lane, discuss all that is presently going on and look ahead to a future of a network trying to right wrong, course correct, and re-engage a once very passionate fan base who watched every show in the millions nightly. In other news, the truth behind Dolores and Teresa’s “friendship” is exposed, the rumors of Monica Garcia’s RHOSLC return are broken down, Teresa and Luis’ plans post RHONJ are laid out, the rise and fall of Ariana Madix are dished, and last but not least, Kelly Bensimon tea, fake housewives and so much more! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle Richards has received some heartbreaking news over the past week as the RHOBH new season cast announcement is expected to drop any day now. Jax has realized he is not meant to be in a relationship, to nobody’s surprise, and Brittany seems to be loving the drama of this season on The Valley just a little bit too much. Gizelle’s children have a message for Eminem as RHOP’s new season celebrates with a Birthday party for Karen Huger despite the fact that she is in jail. New facts emerge in Teresa's new joint biz venture which seem shady, at best. Last, but certainly not least, a year ago our very own Miss Fraser went viral after giving a scathing, albeit, honest, review of Something About Her on opening day.  Today, we return to the scene of the crime, in disguise, to avoid any complicated run ins, and share an updated review with good news, bad news and some, albeit unsolicited, advice of where Katie and Ariana should go next. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPOT & TANGO - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠spotandtango.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠piquelife.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠ (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) SELFUP - ⁠⁠⁠selfup.com⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠⁠⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) 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.

With the new cast of RHOBH to be announced any day now, reports surface of what Producers hid for many years regarding Dorit Kemsley. Speaking of Dorit, her financial troubles seem to be worsening. Kyle Richards’ receives a stern warning from RHOBH producers. Or has she?  Sutton has announced that her and Avi have formally parted ways. Or have they? Sutton makes matters worse with Garcelle, Boz prepares for her second season and last, but certainly not least, Bethenny Frankel just can’t stop explaining the ins and outs of her move down South but, in typical B fashion, there is more than meets the eye.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠piquelife.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠ (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) SPOT & TANGO - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠spotandtango.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) SELFUP - ⁠⁠⁠selfup.com⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠⁠⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) 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.

Southern Charm has been filming the new season with more drama than ever. Scheana comes for LVP again. Dolores Catania has a health scare. Gia Giudice feuds with everyone.

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.

With Dorit having now formally filed for divorce from her husband of over ten years, PK, we cannot help but wonder, what next? Today we get answers to the many questions we have surrounding PK and Dorit’s divorce. How does Dorit really feel about PK’s very public kiss? What is going to happen to Dorit’s motion for sole custody of the kids and what motivated that request? Meanwhile, heading south, Katie Ginella skipped the RHOC cast trip due to an epic rumored feud with Emily Simpson. We discuss what we know about this feud, the real reasons why she was absent from the trip and how this will affect her and Emily’s RHOC future. Finally, Meredith Marks speaks out on her suspension but, based on her own words that she used, did she just “out herself” to what really happened and went down. Shocking details arise regarding Ms. Mark’s suspension as this currently filming season of RHOSLC prepares to finish with a bang. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPOT & TANGO - ⁠⁠⁠spotandtango.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvetrope To Get 50% Off Your First Order of UnKibble For Your Dog) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) PIQUE LIFE - ⁠⁠piquelife.com/velvet⁠⁠ (20% Off Plus a Free Rechargeable Frother & Glass Beaker If You’re Tired of Feeling Depleted & Want to Finally Nourish Your Body the Right Way) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠Redrazz.org⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) SELFUP - ⁠selfup.com⁠ (Use Code VELVET20 For 20% Off For a Fun Night Out of Cooking Classes) HULU - (Watch The New Season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, Coming To Hulu May 15th) 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.

Lisa Vanderpump, and her VanderWorld, are once again dominating our screens and causing drama off screen of epic proportions. Vanderpump Villa has dropped, with Stassi, a few weeks ago and the verdict is in. There is some good news and some not so good news for Stassi, Beau and LVP. Meanwhile, Paige DeSorbo has morphed into the new Ariana Madix as both Summer House and Southern Charm call out for help in need of a major next season overhaul. Craig and Paige reveal even more shocking new facts about their uncoupling. Finally, we break down the cast of Vanderpump Rules 2.0, discuss what we know and explain what this show has in store when it drops on our Bravo screens later this year.

Bravo announced four new shows which are being added to its line up. Glaringly absent from the full list of their returning shows, in addition to these new shows, was RHONY and RHONJ. Despite all the fake news, tabloid fodder, network chatter, blogger speculation and cast statements, we break down exactly what is going on with RHONY and RHONJ, the likelihood either will be back ever and which cast members will be most affected by this. Next, we discuss the new cast for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, why this franchise will effectively replace RHONJ and when we can expect this new franchise to actually appear on our Bravo screens. Finally, we discuss the remaining new shows - Shahs Valley Style, Ladies of London and Wife Swap and explain what these shows mean for Teresa Giudice’s future on Bravo and why things are looking very good for Melissa and Joe Gorga and their new upcoming Bravo show. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CARAWAY HOME - ⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - ⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ⁠ro.co/velvet⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠rakuten.com⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

With many of the current Real Housewives franchises past their prime, it is uncertain if more franchises are actually needed. That said, more tea is spilled about the rumored upcoming Real Housewives of Chicago and Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Morgan and Kyle make moves to “come out” despite the possible longevity of this relationship as Kyle’s role in Garcelle’s exit is exposed. Jax Taylor is in trouble as he loses real world business due to his behavior on The Valley. Also, Morgan may not be as innocent as people originally thought. Finally, we break down our worst Housewife interviews of all time as well as current and past feuds with other Podcasts, Housewives and Ex-Housewives.

The RHOC cast trip to Amsterdam has come and gone and the season has wrapped with tons of tea spilling in terms of storylines, feuds and the return of Gretchen.  In other news, after Andy Cohen’s night out with the Summer House boys, we cannot help but wonder if Summer House needs some serious fixing moving forward and offer some, albeit unsolicited, advice on how to fix this franchise. Tom Sandoval slams LVP as “not present” while Stassi’s return to Hulu in her own show stalls. Finally, RHOBH cast rumors continue as Erika Jayne prepares for legal battles, possible bankruptcy and an appearance oversees that has people asking for more.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) CARAWAY HOME - ⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - ⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ⁠ro.co/velvet⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠rakuten.com⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Cameras Up. For RHOP, that is. Cast changes, blasts from the past - Ashley talks Candace Dillard’s return, Gizelle’s “TJ” receipts and one, still jailed Grand Dame. Speaking of jail, Karen Huger is winning behind bars and running the place. More RHONY fake news arises. Luann shows us her game. Love Hotel is two episodes in with some good and not as good news. Finally, we plead our case to Luis Ruelas with something we never thought we would need help with and find that, now that we do, only Luis can be of service. Our appeal Mr. Ruelas please.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - ⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - ⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠(Get Started Today w/ Your $50 Credit because Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo Gift Set For Free) RO - ⁠ro.co/velvet⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠rakuten.com⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

The RHOM trailer dropped last week to very mixed reactions. Alexia and Todd’s divorce. Tons of Marysol. Guedy vs. Julia. Julia vs. Adriana. Newbie Stephanie. Lisa’s “social climber” of a man and, of course, the Larsa of it all. Andy Cohen has a wild night out. Paige DeSorbo graduates from Summer House. Porsha Williams has a total, epic fail. Somehow, somewhere, Margaret Josephs has a laugh as Dolo, Tre and Fessler seem to be begging for a job. Good news for Dolo arises to her relief.  Kyle Richards is sad for Garcelle but ignores Sutton. Finally, with so much of the fan base disolutioned by so many of the shows, we break down how to fix Bravo.  @amiryassoficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: STRAWBERRY - ⁠⁠Strawberry.me/VELVET ⁠⁠(Claim Your $50 Credit Today Because Your Career Success Shouldn’t Wait) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - ⁠⁠meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet⁠⁠ (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) RO - ⁠⁠ro.co/velvet⁠⁠ (For Your Free Insurance Coverage Check On Prescription Compounded GLP-1s) 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) CARAWAY HOME - ⁠⁠Carawayhome.com/VELVET⁠⁠ (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) RAKUTEN - ⁠⁠rakuten.com⁠⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving! Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Teresa Giudice just spent a wild weekend with Kelly Dodd but, with their new booming business together, there is more than meets the eye. Teresa also spent the weekend stripper style walking the runway, making live appearances, dealing with new financial setbacks and, apparently heading oversees to The Traitors castle. Speaking of The Traitors, we break down these rumors, some say self spread rumors, separating fact from fiction about Teresa’s star turn on The Traitors Season Four. Alan Cumming beware. RHOBH prepares for major casting changes next year which will possibly affect over half the cast. We break down who is on their way out, who will stay and when the official announcement from Bravo is expected. Finally, a little digging into PK’s new love reveals some shocking facts as Andy Cohen weighs in and we get to the bottom of their sordid past and just who this new Dorit look alike really is. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
