Barbara Kavovit steps Behind The Rope. RHONY’s Barbara K. that is. Barb is here to chat about all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our RHONY screens.

Jax Taylor’s Disgusting Reason for Brittany Breakup, VPR Astronomical Salaries Revealed & Kyle’s New Epic Meltdown Mar 10, 2024

Show notes

RHOBH Reunion Broken down as we address whether Kyle’s rant is worthy of her self imposed MVP of the Season status or is the audience still upset at what she is holding back. Housewives are being spaced out - RHONJ May, RHODub June, RHONY not in production, RHOA cast not yet determined. We analyze why and what the future of Housewives realistically looks like. Meanwhile, Vanderpump Rules cast members' exorbitant, astronomical salaries have been revealed, Jax Taylor’s disgusting reason for Britany break up revealed, and Scheana Shay ostracized and slammed by cast for recent revelations. Lisa Rinna has upset fans again, Denise Richards and NeNe Leakes go Housewives Hunting and much, much more as we drop the exploding tea from the last twenty four hours.

Odd Mom Out's SEAN KLEIER (on Strange WWHL Appearance w/ Andy Cohen, Odd Mom & Housewives) Mar 10, 2024

Show notes

Odd Mom Out’s Sean Kleier steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Lex Von-Weber from Bravo’s classic scripted series Odd Mom Out. So many questions, so little time. Sean chats with us about how he originally met series creator Jill Kargman. Based on her book Momzillas, Odd Mom out chronicled the wealthy mommy clique that resides in New York’s prestigious Upper East Side. Sean explains the casting process, what attracted him to the role of Lex Von-Weber and how much fun it was to act on this Bravo series each week for three years. Part of that fun was due to costarring with, not only Jill Kargman, but the brilliant Abby Elliot and Icon Joanna Cassidy. Sean chats about off camera shenanigans between cast members, why the show ended and where he thinks Lex Von-Weber would be today. Of course, having been on Bravo, we chat about Sean’s own experience with our friends “The Real Housewives” and of course Mr. Andy Cohen and his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance. We also chat about Odd Mom Out’s multitude of guest stars including, but not limited to, Jill’s sister in law at the time, Drew Barrymore! We figured today a great day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Sean Kleier.
