ALEXIS BELLINO (on RHOC, Shannon, Tamra, Love & "Jesus Jugs") Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino steps Behind The Rope. RHOC is back in our lives after a stellar return to form Season Premiere for Season 18. The Season Premiere brought us many things, none the least of which was the long awaited return of Alexis Bellino. We could think of no better blast from the RHOC past chat to share today than this gem chat with Alexis. Back before Johnny J, before her return. As you listen, ask yourself, does this seem like the same Alexis we see before us back on RHOC today? Of course, we also chat current cast mates Tamra, Heather, Emily, Gina and Shannon as well as cast mates from the past, Gretchen, Vicki and more. We talk Jim Bellino, the infamous lawsuit which Shannon claims is the root of all of their current day problems and last, but certainly not least, the epic moniker thanks to Tamra of “Jesus Juggs”.

SIGGY FLICKER (on Margaret, Tre, Mel, Dolo, Producers & Toxic RHONJ) - II Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

Siggy Flicker steps back Behind The Rope. Siggy is here to chat all about her time on RHONJ - the highs and lows, filming with a Teresa and Melissa that did not get along then, after she left or now and her once friend Dolores who she came on the show with. Of course in typical Siggy fashion she does not hold back when discussing her epic fall out with Margaret Josephs, clarifies prior recent statements she has made about Marge and discusses all of the producer involvement, manipulation and favoritism she witnessed and experienced during her RHONJ run. Speaking of Producers, we discuss the toxic nature of RHONJ, explain why people are so passionate and furious about Team Tre vs. Team Mel, how RHONJ has filmed an entire season with two main cast members who refuse to utter a word to each other and what the future could realistically look like. Buckle Up! Part II starts now.
