Melissa Gorga’s Ex Envy Biz Partner Jackie Robinson (on Melissa, Joe, Tre & RHONJ Past & Present) II May 20, 2024

Show notes

Jackie Beard Robinson steps back Behind The Rope. Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC. Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more. We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back. Part II starts now.

Show notes

RHONJ Season 14 is well underway and there is as much drama happening off air as on.

MIKE HILL (on Cynthia Bailey,RHOA & Nene Leakes) May 19, 2024

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Mike Hill steps Behind The Rope. Mike Hill, back when he was Mr. Cynthia Bailey. Were the warning signs always there? Is this chat foreshadowing at its best several years in the making? Mike talks Cynthia Bailey, RHOA, his role as a Bravo House Husband. the social media feuds which are part of any Housewives job, Cynthia’s Bachelorette RHOA episode with Bolo, whether he is ever shocked at just how far our favorite Peach Holders went to make good TV and last, but certainly not least, Nene Leakes. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Mr. Mike Hill.

RHONJ Cast Tries To Ice Out Teresa, The Messler Plays Both Sides & The Toxicity Amps Up Off Air May 18, 2024

Show notes

Another week, another episode of RHONJ. We break down this week’s episode with the help of the one and only Tre, as played by Andrea Lopez. Next, we cover all that has been going on in the real world summarizing the many interviews the cast has been doing, less Jennifer Aydin who is rumored to have been banned from interviews due to allegedly leaking Season 14 screeners. Teresa says her parents support her not speaking to Joe, Joey claps back, Melissa reminds Bravo who the “dream team” is, Teresa denies she pays fan Podcasts, Marge and Mel are outraged at Tre’s behavior, Jackie says the toxic franchise has become “The Hunger Games” and the entire cast, viewers and us all agree that none of this weekly vitriol is sustainable. Whew, and we are only two episodes in.

Dorit continues to wear her wedding ring, has started filming the new season of RHOBH with and without PK, has sat down with Kyle to work out the issues that remain from last season and trudges along amidst her separation from PK.

Ariana Takes VPR Off Her Bio, John Mayer is Furious Over Andy Cohen & Lala To Join “The Valley” May 16, 2024

Show notes

Andy Cohen has been cleared of all charges after Bravo’s internal “investigation”. Andy, Leah McSweeney’ Lawyer, Brandi Glanville’s Lawyer, the public and last, but certainly not least, John Mayer react with mixed emotions and thoughts. Despite what felt like a “Series Finale” Vanderpump Rules last week, we share our hot takes on why VPR will be back with a bang after a mini pause, discuss the likelihood Lala will join The Valley in Season Two, discuss Jax’ comments that Danny and Nia are not the happy little couple we all think and break down Ariana’s new life hosting Love Island and whether she will really leave Vanderpump Rules after taking it off her bio. In other news, Paris and Nicole team up to return to the small screen for the first time together since the Simple Life in a just green lit show, Spencer and Heidi remain primed for a TV comeback and we stare in awe at Jax Taylor’s very good year.
