Show notes

Patricia Field steps Behind The Rope. Fashion Icon and Legend, Pat Field, that is. Patricia stops by to chat the full anthology of her epic career from her early days as the legendary owner of the Patricia Field boutique on 8th Street in New York City to her current digs on East Broadway. Pat talks the many celebs who have shopped at her iconic store and/or who she has dressed throughout the years - Madonna, Beyonce, JFK and more. Of course, Patricia talks “Sex and the City” - her marriage made in heaven with SJP, Darren Star, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall. Pat talks the decade long rumors of inner turmoil between SJP and Kim, Sex’s fav, least fav and iconic looks, the Sex movies and ultimately returning to “And Just Like That” to design the outfit for Samantha Jones’ highly anticipated return. We talk Patricia’s involvement in Darren Star’s other brilliant hits - “Younger” and “Emily in Paris”, a dream collab with Taylor Swift and just what is next for this powerhouse Fashion Renegade who does not seem to be slowing down any time soon!

Candiace Dillard Exits RHOP, Karen Huger Crashes Her Car Intoxicated & John Janssen Sues Shannon Over Facelifts Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

Candiace Dillard says “see ya later” to The Real Housewives of Potomac. With so many rumors swirling around regarding Candiace’s exit, we separate fact from fiction, analyze whether she resigned on her own or was terminated, explain why this was or was not a smart power move and discuss what is next for our fav CandyGal and RHOP. We discuss the rumors that Robyn has been fired, what it means when rumors surface before the reunion and why we will not be seeing RHOP back on our TVs anytime soon. We talk RHOM, another franchise we will not be seeing on our TV’s anytime soon despite claims that filming will resume in many months come the fall. Karen Huger crashed her car and has a DUI, Jonn Janssen sues Shannon for failure to repay 75K for her two facelifts, we wonder how someone who makes around 750k a year can’t afford a 75k facelift and much, much more.

ERIN LICHY (on RHONY New Season, Cast Mates, Leah McSweeney’s Claims Against Bravo, Kyle/Morgan & Mezcal) Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

Erin Lichy steps Behind The Rope. Erin is here to chat all about her RHONY experience, highs and lows from Season Fourteen, cast mates Jenna, Brynn, Jessel, Erin, Ubah, Sai, unresolved issues from the reunion, what we can expect for Season Fifteen and when can we realistically expect an announcement on RHONY Season Fifteen. Erin talks about the original RHONY OGs, reacts to the rumors that surfaced earlier this year regarding Lu, Sonja and Dorinda, talks Jenna’s absence from BravoCon and why the future of RHONY will be more than fighting over cheese, first class tickets and which restaurants and neighbors are in and which are passé. Finally, Erin clarifies her “mean girls” comment about Kyle and Dorit after an awkward BravoCon run in, breaks down Crystal Kung Minkoff’s comment that certain RHONY were rude to her, chats former RHONY Bethenny Frankel and Leah McSweeney’s claims and lawsuits against Bravo and last, but certainly not least, the problematic behavior of one Miss Ramona Singer.

We share all our hot takes on who will return next season, what next season will most likely look like, why Kyle Richards may be in for a very nice surprise and more. Next we discuss Lisa Rinna’s recent statement that she will never, ever, ever return to RHOBH, the return of Buying Beverly Hills and why Mauricio is smiling ear to ear these days.

Bling Empire's Andrew Gray (on What Really Goes on Behind The Scenes of a Hit Reality TV Show) I Mar 24, 2024

Show notes

Bling Empire’s Andrew Gray steps Behind The Rope. Bling Empire, one of the best reality shows, well, ever. Andrew chats about how he got involved with Netflix’s break out 2021 hit show about a group of very wealthy, and we mean very very wealthy, “friends” living in Los Angeles and what filming was like. Andrew is very forthcoming about his “role” as the shows “villain” (his words, not ours), when he knew he was going to be portrayed this way and how he feels about this edit. Andrew blows the door wide open on what was real vs fake (imagine a reality show not being 100% real), the toxicity of Reality TV, cast mates, his own struggles with mental health and more about Blind Empire. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Andrew Gray.

Teresa & Luis' Marriage Problems, Marge’s New Lies & Our Near Run in w/ Tre This Week in LA Mar 23, 2024

Show notes

The RHONJ Trailer has dropped a few weeks ago and now with RHOBH finally over, we can react and share all our thoughts on what we saw. There is some good news, some bad news and some very fake news. Marge The Sarge’s marriage troubles, Tre and Luis marriage troubles, the Messler, Jackie “Judas” Goldschneider, an Aydin and Cabral smack down and oh, so very much more. We are riled up today and hold nothing back. In other news, we detail our almost near run in with Teresa and Luis this week in West Hollywood at Casa Madera at the Mondrian Hotel. We break that down, Luis' epic week in Bev Hills while Tre was filming The Villains and explain why Tre is not at all in a good mood this week. Lot's of drama amongst Bravo bloggers. Hey, don’t look at us. Shockingly, this week it ain’t our fault.

Show notes

Chef Stu steps Behind The Rope. Chef Stu is here to, as we say, mention it all. Stu talks being cast as one of the original 5 Queer Eye guys, what it was like to be replaced, last min, by Antoni Porowski and the dark days that followed thereafter. Stu also reveals new info that he just discovered regarding the true reason for the last minute change. We are all ears. Of course, we bring up the NDA and Cease and Desist that Jeff Lewis has served on Stu and contemplate what will happen the day these two run into each other. Hey, it's a small town. Finally, we discuss many of Bravo’s current events - the RHOBH reunion, the current state of Kyle, Mo and Morgan, John Janssen and Alexis Bellino’s future, how Shannon Beador is holding up filming with both of them, the breakup of the Tres Amigas and much, much more. If you want more of this mash up collab, head over to Stu’s new podcast, “Don’t Let It Stu”, to hear the second half of this chat today.
