BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

With this season of Vanderpump Rules finally over, we discuss what Raquel Leviss is going to do now after a much buzzed about reunion performance, whether each of the VPR cast have and are still overacting to Scandoval, whether treating Lisa Vanderpump as an equal and not superior is alright after ten season, how much Tom Sandoval must be enjoying life with near sold out shows and tons of screaming women, who besides Ariana wins the most from this affair and when the general public will finally tire of talking about this topic twenty four seven. Next, we analyze whether there are no RHOBH Season Thirteen leaks because Lisa Rinna has been let go or whether there are no RHOBH leaks because, well, there is nothing worthy of leaking. On that note, we discuss whether we can expect to see Lisa Rinna, Kim Zolciak or a handful of other past drama seekers and stirrers back on our Housewives screens sooner than later. Finally, we share some Bethenny Frankel updates and ask why, what and where regarding many of her current life and biz choices. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

Despite Andy Cohen's recent claims that there is no RHONJ pause, we deep dive Andy's “damage control”, reveal why there is, in fact, an RHONJ pause, discuss the real reasons for the pause, break down the claims that the pause is because of Luis Ruelas' allegedly “shady” business practices and how RHONJ will move forward after its most toxic, hostile season which Bravo would like to greatly distance itself from. Speaking of RHONJ, we share our hot takes on which cast members are most likely in jeopardy of losing their jobs, which are secure and whether there is any world in which the show can return from the pause with all of our fav Garden State ladies intact. In other news, we discuss whether Bethenny Frankel's new business endeavor is extremely desperate or absolutely brilliant, how she singlehandedly could have saved RHONY Legacy and why she should just call her BFF Andrew and ask for her job back. Finally, we discuss Erika Jayne's rumored new boyfriend, predict what Erika's future love life will look like and explain why Kim Zolciak Biermann needs to get on the first plane, coach class, to Beverly Hills for a sit down with The Pretty Mess sooner rather than later. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (20% Off Plus Free Shipping.

The RHONJ have been put on pause. One of the original producers of RHONJ, the man, the myth, the king is back yet again, Mr. Carlos King is here to help us break it all down, make sense of it all, chat about who will return, not return, why the pause is indefinite and filming won't and cannot resume anytime soon, or, in our opinion. if ever, in its current form. Heading South, with the new season of RHOA upon us, Carlos shares a temperature check about how Season Fifteen is going so far, the involvement of Martel Holt, whether the season will hold up to the current hype, Drew and Ralph's messy divorce, Kenya and Marlo's new men and whether any OGs from the past should return with a bang - Nene, Kim, Porsha and so on, and so forth. Speaking of Kim, Carlos breaks down Kim and Kroy's divorce - the validity of it, the ugliness of it, the child custody claims, the social media unfollows and likelihood it will get worse before it gets better. Finally, Carlos shares his hot takes as we deep dive the new RHONY Reboot, whether it will work, the cast, Jenna Lyons's Met Gala appearance, RHONY Legacy, Andy Cohen's RHONY comments and much, much more. @thecarlosking_ @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

Juicy Joe Giudice steps Behind The Rope. The man. The myth. The legend. Juicy is here today to mention it all from his first season as an OG House Husband to the current day RHONJ drama that we are seeing unfold on this epic Three Part Season Thirteen Reunion which is likely to go down as the most toxic, volatile, hostile showdown in history between housewives and which has led to an RHONJ Pause likely to result in multiple cast terminations when the show eventually returns in, hopefully, 2024. Joe holds nothing back when discussing his own legal situation, time in jail and ultimate deportation addressing all the recent claims that The Gorgas were somehow involved. Forget all the speculation shuffling around the internet, the source himself is here to explain just what went down. Of course we also cover the highs and lows from his time on the show - table flips, "see you next Tuesday”, his beloved daughters and much more. Of course, Teresa has gotten married to Mr. Luis Ruelas. Like we said, Juicy mentions it all.

Back before The Randall Scandal, when Randall and Lala were a seemingly happy couple, back when he just appeared on Vanderpump Rules for a few times, back when he and Lala were double dating with Lisa and Ken, before the many assistant claims, before the alleged home foreclosures, before Scandoval and many legal woes, we sat down with Randall Emmett to chat. They say hindsight is twenty, twenty but were the signs there of what was to come? We admittedly were more than fooled having originally placed this chat in one of our all time favorite interviews ever. Listening back, almost three full years later, this chat takes on a whole new meaning with each word analyzed more than the next. Fascinating and chilling at the same time from a man whose life was about to fall apart and crumble. Randall Emmett.  @randallemmettfilms @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

Kim D. is here to deep dive and share her hot takes on this epic showdown, who came out ahead, where she thinks Bravo and the franchise need to go from here and whether each side - Mel and Tre - are really, really done with each other. In other reunion news, Kim chats TreStumps - that you very much Margaret, Cabral vs Fuda, the humor and sometimes failed humor of Ms. Aydin, the wise words and wisdom of Dolo and, oh, so much more. In real life news, Kim chats an angry Bo Dietl, damage control by Andy Cohen, a Melissa Gorga NYC run in, more mounting legal woes for Luis Ruelas and a quiet as a church mouse cast that sat there in real time watching their potential RHONJ future slip away as Tre and Mel slowly put a few more nails in the ten year old coffin. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen To Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83842847/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

With brand deals rumored to be worth $75,000 to $200,000 a pop, we deep dive whether the Vanderpump Rules cast, fans or Lisa Vanderpump still feel bad for Ariana, when and if those tides will turn, the potential fall out from that shift and what the future looks like for Ariana, Tom and Raquel both on and off VPR. We share our hot takes on the VPR Pause, how it will eventually be solved, when we expect Pump cameras to pick back up for Season Eleven, who will be in and out and what we expect to be different when the show returns. Finally, we discuss Lisa Rinna's recent claims that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is a “stupid” show, her visions of Lois telling her to resign, her conflicting exit stories, her social media block and whether she misses RHOBH way more than she is letting on. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

The Randall Scandal: Love, Loathing and Vanderpump. We break down our appearance in, and involvement with, this ABC / Hulu Documentary, what we learned about Randall, the most egregious things Randall has done, our very own BTS Randall Scandal and what this all means for Lala and Ocean's future. Speaking of the future, we discuss the just wrapped Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Thirteen - Kyle's White Party, Erika Jayne's Performance, Denise Richards' Drama and so much more of what we can expect next season when RHOBH returns to our air ways. Meanwhile over on the east coast one show that will not be returning anytime soon, RHONJ. We break down the pause, explain why every single cast member's job is on the line, discuss how we think the Melissa vs. Teresa problem will be solved and when, realistically, we can expect our fav Garden State ladies to resume filming. Finally we discuss the RHONY Reboot, RHONY RHUGT, Bethenny's involvement and whether Ramona Singer really, truly, possibly could not know who Kristen Taekman is.  @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

For the first time ever, Andy Cohen sits down separately with Ariana, Tom and Raquel. Did we get any answers or did the more each of them talk, the more questions we actually had? We break down a very angry, let me get off the couch multiple times, James Kennedy, a seemingly distraught Scheana Shay, a confused Schwartzy and a ready for business Andy Cohen. We chat about both Lala and Ariana's clap backs to Lisa Vanderpump and whether LVP is “fair game” for the VPR cast or whether she is above being questioned by her once Sur Staff. Peter breaks down the coming attractions for the Reunion Part II and III, Ariana's claims that she wont film with Tom or Raquel, the many false rumors surrounding next season, the VPR “pause”, potential spin offs and where the show and cast go from here amidst the Scandoval and season long epic drama. @peter_madrigal @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) 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.

The RHONY Reboot finally has an air date of July 17th, 2023 and The RHONY RHUGT is headed back to St. Barts. In celebration of these accomplishments from the Housewives of one of our current three home towns - perhaps The Real Housewives of The Hamptons is coming next - we figured it time to deep dive and see how well this chat with the one and only Miss Eboni K.

Ever since we shared our thoughts on, and explained the real reason behind, the RHONJ pause last week, there has been tons of incorrect on line chatter about how, what, why, and when surrounding the pause, what happens now and how does RHONJ move forward with a cast divided. Today Kim D. is here to address the multitude of incorrect claims and theories and to reveal how RHONJ is likely to move forward when the pause is over in the, most likely, far distant future. On a happier note, if you have not heard, Teresa got married. Kim breaks down Teresa's wedding special, all the foreshadowing of why she is now likely to get her own spin off series a la Tardy For The Party and how, regardless of the future of RHONJ, there is good news in the air for one Dolores Catania and one Jennifer Aydin. Finally, we talk about Luis' RHONJ Reunion behavior, new developments in the nasty - it is finally over - feud between Mel and Tre, Andy Cohen's disdain for Mr. Ruelas and much, much more. @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef  Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/83488108/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

You have heard of the RHONJ pause but seems we have a similar situation over on the West Coast. The Producers of Vanderpump Rules and Bravo do not know how to move forward with a cast divided, Ariana's recent claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel and a strong obvious desire to not lose Tom or Ariana with ratings close to two million people for the finale and current reunion episodes. Money talks and everyone has a price, but even with money, is Ariana leaving VPR and headed to greener, more relaxing pastures. With Dancing With The Stars, endorsement deals, appearances on The View, dinners at Daniel, one of New York City's top restaurants, and an upcoming Lifetime Movie under her belt, we discuss why Ariana may be the Christine Quinn of Pump Rules ready to rise above it all. With Tom's ability to seemingly remain unaffected, a rumored girl in every port and rock band that, after the attending the live show, is actually pretty good, we break down how Raquel, or as y'all like to call her, Rachel is the one who seems to “lose” from all things Scandoval. All this plus our thoughts on Sending It To Darrel, Poo Poo Heads, Worms With Mustaches and one epic several part reunion which is going to go down in history as some of the realest Reality TV, well, ever! @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com (20% Off With Code VELVET) FACTOR - factormeals.com/velvet40 (Use Code VELVET40 To Get 40% Off Your First Box) ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet for 15% Off For A Limited Time) JUNE'S JOURNEY - (Download June's Journey For Free Today on Apple iOS or Android) 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.

Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras. So much has been written about his shows but, after attending one ourself in New York City the other week, we are here today to separate truth from fiction - rumored boos, Ariana chants, cheater screams, negative signage, music, women, a revenge body with muscles galore, packed vs. empty seats and much, much more. Of course, we also met Tom and reveal what that convo was like, what we learned about the future of Vanderpump Rules, Raquel, timelines, Schwartzy, and last, but certainly not least, what is next for this booked and busy rocker that is the current punching bag du jour of Bravo fans worldwide. In other VPR news, with the finale over and reunion among us, we share our hot takes on both and deep dive what to expect next season when the show returns for its eleventh installment. Maybe.  In other news, Andy Cohen and Lisa Rinna are feuding, Potomac is filming and RHOA is chugging along.

Melissa Rivers steps back Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all that is going on in our BravoVerse. The Vanderpump Rules Finale not only shocked the world and was some of the realest Reality TV ever but came in at a record season high of almost two million viewers. We analyze why people are still so invested in The Scandoval, how everyone wins from it and discuss how VPR moves forward with Ariana's claims that she will not film with Tom or Raquel ever again. Heading east, we break down the RHONY Reboot, Melissa's past fashion connections to RHONY newbie and former J. Crew President, Jenna Lyons, and how this franchise will fare when it premieres on our Bravo screens later this summer. Speaking of RHONY, we discuss how RHONY Legacy became RHONY Girls Trip, the return of Kristen Taekman, the exit of Jill Zarin and why Ramona Singer has way more than nine lives. Finally, we discuss the hot men of Below Deck - Captain Jason (Melissa's crush), Fraser Olender (David's crush) and Bruno Duarte's move from Deckhand to Gay Porn Star (Ladies and gentlemen you have our attention).

Jacqueline Laurita steps BACK Behind The Rope. One of the OG's herself is here to, well, mention it all. Jacqueline reminisces about her time on the show - table flips, Stripper Gate, family drama and one epic fallout with the still star of RHONJ, Teresa, back when she, Tre, Dina, Caroline and Danielle Staub had no idea of what they were doing, were making authentic TV and could never have predicted what RHONJ would morph into today. Jacqueline weighs in on the current dynamics of Teresa and Melissa and Joe Gorga's fall out, details her epic lunch reunion with Teresa which broke the internet, reveals plans her hubby and Luis have, shares her thoughts on Luis, chat Sister In Law Caroline Manzo's fall out from RHUGT, shares her opinion on whether this will be Melissa Gorga's last season like the fans hope and want and much, much more.

Andy Cohen recently said that the newly rebooted Real Housewives of New York City is “different” having watched the first seven episodes. We analyze the word “different”, discuss new RHONY Jenna Lyons' recent Met Gala hosting gig and discuss whether you, the audience, are excited for this reincarnation, are instead longing for The Countess in her cabaret glory to appear back on our screens or whether, as we like to say, two things get to simultaneously be true. Speaking of The Countess, we chat the, as we predicted, never happening RHONY Legacy, the newly reformatted Girls Trip RHONY and real reasons why Miss Ramona Singer is headed back to this beloved franchise despite all her claims of “legacy loser” and a new life well enjoyed. Heading to the ATL, we chat our run in with Miss Phaedra Parks, question the validity of Drew and Ralph's divorce and weigh in on the current season - Kandi coming in hot - which is well underway. Finally, we share what we know about all the RHONJ cast changes now that the reunion is here.  @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef  BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) MICRODOSE- microdose.com (Use Code VelvetRope For Free Shipping and 30% Off Your First Order) 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 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.

Jacqueline Laurita steps Behind The Rope. One of the OG's herself is here to, well, mention it all. Jacqueline reminisces about her time on the show - table flips, Stripper Gate, family drama and one epic fallout with the still star of RHONJ, Teresa, back when she, Tre, Dina, Caroline and Danielle Staub had no idea of what they were doing, were making authentic TV and could never have predicted what RHONJ would morph into today. Jacqueline weighs in on the current dynamics of Teresa and Melissa and Joe Gorga's fall out, details her epic lunch reunion with Teresa which broke the internet, reveals plans her hubby and Luis have, shares her thoughts on Luis, shares her opinion on whether this will be Melissa Gorga's last season like the fans hope and want and much, much more. Like we said, Jacqueline mentions it all and holds nothing back in this nostalgic chat about RHONJ past, current season as we head into the reunion and the unforeseen future of this non stop, over the top franchise!

Welcome back Cedric Martinez. For everyone who has not listened to our Part I sit down with Cedric, which was re-released two Sundays ago, feel free to do so. Now onto Part II. Cedric continues to bring us behind the rosé curtain to discuss what life was like living with Lisa Vanderpump and how that living arrangement ultimately came to an end. He explains what life was then like after his time at the mansion ended and how he, ultimately, was able to move on. We also discuss, in depth, his relationship with Lance Bass. Cedric explains how he met Lance Bass, their courting, dating, the highs, the lows, and the ultimate breakup. He also lets us know the last time he spoke to Lance (the answer is not what you would think) and what Lance used to say about fellow 'NSYNC members including Justin Timberlake. Finally, Cedric gives us a rare look into his current life in London and what he would say to Lisa, Ken and Lance if he ran into each of them today.

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.

With the new season of RHOBH filming, we break down all the cameos, return Diamond Holders and potential newbies. Of course we know a thing or two about rumored newbie Annemarie Wiley, her NFL Legend Husband Marcellus Wiley, the viral video circulating which seems to insinuate she has had problems with the OG herself Kyle Richards and why none of the past Diamond holders are likely to make much of an impact when the show returns. In other RHOBH news, we share a Kathy, Kyle, Kim Richards Hilton update and deep dive Mauricio's new book, series of interviews, return of Buying Beverly Hills and why it seems he is closer to Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin than Kathy and Rick Hilton. Finally, we cannot help but gush over Faye Resnick's recent night out in Beverly Hills where we were all at Craigs, Kyle Richards in tow. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIR DOCTOR PRO - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET for Up To 40% Off Depending On The Model You Choose) FACTOR - factormeals.com/velvet50 (Use Code VELVET50 To Get 50% Off Your First Box) 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.
