BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Tom Arnold steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about Tom Arnold. Today he is here to chat about it all and set the record straight. Tom details his early days of comedy in LA, meeting Roseanne which led to a position on Roseanne, a marriage, and two comedies of his own on various networks. Tom talks about how that chance meeting of Roseanne changed his life, his very public relationship with her, very public divorce and the status of that relationship today. Tom chats about his career after Roseanne - movies, TV, Reality TV a la Celebrity Apprentice. Tom opens up about personal demons he has overcome - being molested at a young age, alcohol and drug addition and coming out the other side. Tom discusses Roseanne's tweet heard round the world, her cancellation, The Conners and future of his potential involvement in the series. Knowing everyone who knows anyone, Tom chats about his many famous A list friends, multiple appearances on The Howard Stern Show, current projects and what is next for one of the most notorious, open and honest comedians and actors of our time. All that plus shocking new never before told revelations about both Kelly Dodd and Nene Leakes! @thetomarnold @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, new relationship with girlfriend Victoria and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow, the breakup of her friendship with Noella and much more. All this as we conclude our epic two part chat with the one and only Miss Braunwyn Windham Burke.  @braunwynwindhamburke @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - www.reliefband.com (20% off Plus Free Shipping.

In other RHONJ news, Luis is back to making videos, this time on his IG, Tre is trying to find her own inner peace by praying to Buddhas and not flip any more tables and Joey Gorga gets hot under the collar once again, this time directed toward Luis. Heading west, we break down this past week's RHOBH where Christmas comes early when EJ and Sutton compare men, Denise Richards gets name checked, Erika gets sloshed, ruins a couch and still makes dinner as we are left to ponder just who is the master manipulator of this group. We have not seen skills this sharp in, well, a long time!  @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68166818/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Earlier in the week we sat down and chatted with Gary Janetti. Today we re-share this chat with the one and only Brad Goreski. Brad Goreski steps Behind The Rope. Brad Goreski is a Celebrity Stylist who we know and love from some of TV's finest such as Fashion Police, The Rachel Zoe Project and It's a Brad Brad World. However, at one time in his life, a skin condition known as Rosacea forced him to shy away from the camera, if you can believe that. Along with Dermatologist, Doctor Shereene Idriss, Brad is here to explain what Rosacea is and what can be done about it. Thank you Brad and Dr. Idriss for bringing awareness to this chronic skin condition, for offering encouragement, and for bringing a face and name to this ever growing issue which can be treated. Of course, while we have Brad's attention, we had to discuss his time on Fashion Police, what it was like and would he ever consider a reboot. Of course, we also dive deep into RHOBH, Lisa Rinna and Real Housewives. We also discuss the new E Network Fashion / Beauty show he has in the works with the one and only NeNe Leakes. Brad also dishes on which Awards Show, he has done them all, is his favorite. He explains what the current state of Fashion is and how he thinks it will be forever changed. Finally, we catch up with Brad on all that he and husband Gary Janetti have been up to over the past few months and what else is next up for the power couple.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World's First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America's Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen's “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice's early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra's notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life.  @janicedickinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALLBIRDS - www.allbirds.com (Get Running Today with the Tree Flyer or Any Other Allbirds Products) RADIX REMEDIES - www.radixremedies.com (15% off Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $35.

So much Bravo tea, so little time. The Kathy Hilton / Lisa Rinna feud seems to be taking a different turn every day, hour, minute and we are here to break it all down, unentangle the webs which have been weaved and dissect where these two really stand today. In other news, we deep dive whether all of Bethenny Frankel's many statements that she wants to distance herself from The Real Housewives are incongruous to selfies with Tre, Mel. Kyle and Kathy at The MTV Awards and recent claims that she would be part of the RHONY OG show if Alex McCord participated and left her home in Australia. In other OG news, Countess Lu helps open a rehab facility with an open bar and NeNe Leakes wishes Daddy Cohen a Happy Birthday. Finally, we share an RHOC Season 17 update, an Erika Jayne update and an RHOBH current season temperature check. @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALLBIRDS - www.allbirds.com (Get Running Today with the Tree Flyer or Any Other Allbirds Products) RADIX REMEDIES - www.radixremedies.com (15% off Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $35.

Williams, Kelly Bensimon and Tinsley Mortimer all suggested as potential suitors. Finally, circling back, we chat when Season Two of Winter House will be announced, what we can expect and whether he will be perhaps coming to a certain Hamptons house in the very near future, filming soon! @jasoncameron @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALLBIRDS - www.allbirds.com (Get Running Today with the Tree Flyer or Any Other Allbirds Products) RADIX REMEDIES - www.radixremedies.com (15% off Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $35.

Lisa Rinna has certainly been keeping us entertained both on and off air this RHOBH season. Rinna's feuding with Kathy Hilton, responding to unknown own cell phone numbers and fending off Kelly Dodd's claims that Harry Hamlin is gay. That is just the beginning. In other 90210 news, Kyle calls out LVP, LVP has receipts and we ponder, would Miss Vanderpump ever return to the show if Kyle resigns, as she claims she may be ready for. In other news, Stassi and Beau are mad, mad, mad Brittany and Jax did not attend their Italian wedding and seems they have texts to prove all sorts of things about their ex(?) BFFS? Meanwhile on the east coast, Caroline Manzo wants to return to RHONJ to put Tre in her place and Gizelle Bryant seems to have a new mystery man? Might we see him on the new season of RHOP?

Tyler Henry steps Behind The Rope. You may think you know everything about Tyler from watching his original E blockbuster show, “Hollywood Medium”, eyeing his most recent Netflix incarnation, “Life After Death”, reading his many books or attending a live show in hopes of making it off this 300,000 person long wait list for a rare live reading. Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction is his highly praised, often misunderstood, day job of a medium as well as chat about how he started, what happens during a reading, and the question on everyone's mind, just what does really happen after we die. Of course, we deep dive the many celebs he has read - Snooki, Lala Kent, Kristin Cavallari, Carmen Electra and chat about his reading with Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner which many believe was his “cracking” of the Jordyn Woods “cheating scandal”. Of course there was also that one time Cher wanted him to stop by for a game of tennis.

Eva takes us on the journey of how life changed as a result of winning Top Model and what the show did for her modeling career after. One door that opened as a result of ANTM, was the wonderful world of acting. Eva discusses the many parts she played including that of “Tyra” on The Young and The Restless as well as appearing in JLO's “Live It Up” video. All roads lead back to Reality TV here Behind The Rope and in a full circle moment, Eva found herself back on Reality TV, this time as an initial “Friend Of” and then Peach Holder on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She chats about the evolution of her friendship with Nene - whose friend she was when she started with RHOA, some of her other epic up and down relationships - Porsha and Kenya we are looking at you, her cameos this past just finished season - who could resist an invitation to the Bailey-Hill wedding and the controversy surrounding throwing a star studded 250 person in the height of a global pandemic, her opinions on Nene's “departure” and answers whether she misses the hit Bravo show and if she will ever go back. Eva also chats Tyler Perry's “All The Queen's Men” in which she plays lead, Madame Marilyn Deville, the owner of a high class club featuring male exotic dancers. Eve chats about how she got the part, how she researched for the part, what working with Tyler Perry was like, and what she learned about the male exotic dancer industry.

Janice Dickinson steps Behind The Rope. Let me repeat that. Janice Dickinson. Icon. Living Legend in the Flesh. The World's First Supermodel. The Simon Cowell of America's Next Top Model. Reality TV veteran from before reality TV was reality TV a la Oxygen's “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency”. In true Janice fashion, she - DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK! Of course, we begin with a chat about Janice's early career where we talk about her then Supermodel colleagues Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and last, but certainly not least, Tyra Banks and the many men in her life for a moment, a moment plus, or what could have been a moment, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Simon Le Bon. Speaking of Tyra Banks, Janice was front and center for the first many cycles of the juggernaut hit “America's Next Top Model” as the most outspoken judge. Notoriously anti-plus size model, Janice has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. Janice opens up about how she clashed with Tyra, discusses Tyra's notoriously bad on set behavior and is kind enough, we asked, ok begged, to reveal secrets from behind the scenes of filming. As often happens here Behind The Rope, all roads lead to Housewives or, in this case, Housewives offspring and Kardashians. Janice shares her opinions on the current modeling industry and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Hailey Baldwin and Kaia Gerber - how do they compare to the Icons of yesteryear and have they earned, or instead bought, their way in with money and / or a famous last name. We also address the current “influencer”, for lack of a better word, culture and how anyone with abs and a great pair of t*ts can be insta-famous. While we had Janice, and lucky we are to have been graced by the presence of royalty, we had to ask about her current relationship with Tyra and if she feels differently all these years later. We also pay homage to all, and we mean all, those other Reality TV shows she has been a part of: Botched!, Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and The Surreal Life. Did we mention the whole reason Janice was here was thanks to her good friends, literary agent Alan Nevins and celebrity chef Joey Santos. Not only do these guys know Janice well, they know everyone, and we mean everyone, in Hollywood and are talking about it on their stellar new Podcast aptly titled, “Two Guys From Hollywood”. On their Pod, they don't dish, they serve. Literally, they serve food and drinks (thank you Joey) to their guests each week while they unpack never before heard tidbits from some of the entertainment business finest including, but not limited to, our BFFs from across the river Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania and, well, yours truly (yup Behind The Velvet Rope appeared last week! - feel free to check it out). Thanks boys for all, especially for delivering Icon in the Flesh Miss Janice Dickinson Behind The Rope.

A RHONJ Reunion Part II and The Premiere of RHOBH! What a week and who better than to help us make sense of it all than the one, the only, Miss Kim D. That's right? Y'all begged, borrowed and everything else under the sun for Kim D. to stay beyond RHONJ and your prayers have been answered. If you don't think Kim D. deep diving into every week of RHOBH makes any logical sense, starting with his premiere, I have two words for you… PRESS PLAY! That is right. In true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back in her thoughts on all our favorite diamond holders. She meets Sutton, Garcelle and Crystal for the first time, has some unpopular opinions on classics such as EJ and Rinna and, of course, has a lot to say about Dorit's home invasion. Oh yea, we also have a RHONJ reunion to get to and, if you haven't watched, Tre is still mad, mad mad. All this, and we are only getting started! @kimdposche @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode At: https://www.patreon.com/posts/66360797/edit Learn more about your ad choices.

Christopher Gorham steps Behind The Rope. Christopher is here to talk about his decades long career starring in many of our favorite shows. From his breakout role in Ryan Murphy's Popular to his new role starring alongside fellow Ugly Betty alum, Becki Newton, we mention it all. Christopher chats Popular, the careers it launched - his, Leslie Grossman, Leslie Bibb, and what it was like to work with Ryan Murphy before he was, well, “Ryan Murphy”. We deep dive into Ugly Betty - working with the greats like Vanessa Williams, Judith Light, America Ferrera, the cultural significance of that show and the likelihood of a reboot. Say whaat? Of course, we talk about his new role in Netflix's “The Lincoln Lawyer” and working with Alyssa Milano on that other brilliant Netflix show, “Insatiable” - gone, but never forgotten. Finally, we talk about just why Christopher always seems to be cast in roles that require him to be shirtless. Like we said, we mention it all! @chrisgorham @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

What a Bravo week it has been? The RHONJ reunion has come and is almost gone, Jackie has been “demoted” as y'all like to say, Tre is still mad mad mad and we have three new women who will be filming next season, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda and Jenn Fessler. Of course, we need to clarify just who is friends with who, the definition of the word “friend” - are we being shady, and the actual likelihood that any of them will actually end up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey when it returns for its thirteenth season. Speaking of RHONJ, we break down the viral Danielle Staub parking lot video. If you have not watched it or heard of it, listen up closely as it is pure actual iconic gold in the form of one pissed AF Miss Staub, the way we have grown to love her over the years. In other news, we chat the real reason why Nene Leakes did not name Kim Zolciak Biermann in her lawsuit against Bravo and Andy, the insane Ramona Singer Summer House rumors starring an all grown up Avery Singer and the return of RHOA, Marlo's peach and all.  @thesarahfrasershow @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

Bravo's Newest Show, "Love Match Atlanta", has finally arrived. Today we welcome Shae Primus, Ming Clark and Joseph Dixon Behind the Rope. This trio is here to break it all down as far as to what we can expect this season on Love Match Atlanta. This is Bravo after all so there is no shortage of drama and the Love Doctors mention it all! While we have three experts, we had to ask relationship advice like do's and don'ts, drinking and fooling around on a first date, money and status, celebs most requested and all the mistakes their clients commonly make which get them fired from the matchmaking club. Being local ATL residents, we had to chat our fav Peach Holders - this current RHOA season and what they would recommend for our single friends such as Miss Kenya Moore and Miss Marlo Hampton and thoughts on NeNe Leakes' new beau! Finally, we could not help but ask what advice, if any, they sought from Bravo's original matchmaker Patti Stanger regarding starring in their very own love show and what are their true thoughts on their west coast predecessor. In true Bravo fashion, these three do not hold back. @shaeprimusmatchmaker @mingthematchmaker @josephcdixon @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

Margaret Josephs steps back Behind The Rope. What a #RHONJ season! Marge is here to break down all that we have seen over the past epic season - Jackie's brave struggles with eating, Jennifer's aftermath of Bill's affair, throw in some Dolo and Mel and of course, the central falling out between her and Tre regarding one Mr. Luis Ruelas. Of course, with Part Two of the reunion dropping tomorrow night, Margaret talks about what we really can expect, Andy Cohen's frustration, House Husband walk offs, and how all of the cast's relationships will never ever be the same again. Raw and unfiltered, Margaret Josephs like you have never heard her before. Hey, it pays to be a friend of a Housewife and not some blogger looking for clout (thanks for the WWHL shout out Marge!) Finally, looking ahead to next season, we discuss where does this fractured cast, specifically her relationship with Tre, go from here and how can filming begin a “rumored” few weeks from now. @therealmargaretjosephs @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: OUAI - www.theouai.com (15% Off Your Entire Purchase.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a reunion!! Kim D. is here to break it all down, Gorga walk offs and all. Jennifer found her new Season Thirteen storyline, we she will be back, a la one mightily Dolo feud, but is she finally in over her Chanel clad head? Everyone has something to say, even Mel who was so aptly reminded of her seating assignment and Tre is mad mad mad. Like, very mad. Kim D. shares info on her single friends she knows who attended Tre's engagement party, sorry Dolo, and we address all the new season casting rumors a la one rumored demotion and the three new names everyone has been so carefree to throw around Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda and Jenn Fessler. Seeing as Kim D. knows everyone in New Jersey, we had to get her take on these three and whether they stand a better chance of surviving than the last many entires. Michelle Pais, anyone? Finally, you do not think Kim D. could keep her opinions to herself regarding eveyone's dresses and reunion style?

What a week. Running into Michael Darby on a flight - RHOP shout out - was just the beginning. We waste no time in getting right into it today with updates on Michael and Ashley's Divorce, Erika Jayne & Garcelle's ongoing feud - RHOBH shout out, and the lawsuit of one miss Nene Leakes which seems to be getting stranger by the day. Might we see Ramona Singer, Stassi Schroeder, Kim Zolciak Biermann and Kathryn Dennis, all of whom have been used as examples by Ms. Leakes' attorney as alleged bad behavior by our beloved Bravo, in a courtroom sometime soon? Meanwhile, Larsa Pippen and The Lord Scott Disick were seen hanging out in the 305 which did not please RHOM producers, Josh Flagg's new boyfriend revealed via Instagram and LVP and Erika Jayne are fighting again.
