HEATHER THOMSON (on RHONY Past/Present/Future, Cast Mates & Bethenny Frankel's Podcast) Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

Heather Thomson steps Behind The Rope. With RHONY RHUGT airing, we cannot help but wonder, if not for Heather’s RHONY Season 13 appearance and producer edit and manipulation, would she have been the sixth apple holder instead of Kristen Taekman? Checking in from her Berkshires home, Heather is here to tell it all. Let us start at the beginning, Season Five of The Real Housewives of New York City. Heather discusses what it was like back in the day in the groundbreaking season when the first ever major cast shake up took place seeing several OG’s be replaced by a new crop (along with Aviva Drescher and Carole Radziwill). Heather chats about what it was like to film having never really watched the show and what it was like to be “inducted” by The Singer Stinger. Heather discusses just how far The Housewives Franchise has come from and how social media now plays a huge role, for better or worse, in the show and the drama that goes along with being a Real Housewife. Heather discusses some of the most iconic moments that took place during her tenure on RHONY such as “Take a Xanax”, “Be Cool, Don’t Be All Uncool”, and that infamous Le Cirque Leg Toss. We touch upon Heather’s final season as a full time cast member, the introduction of one Dorinda Medley and the return of one Bethenny Frankel. Heather opens up about how the presence of Bethenny Frankel on set changed the mood and vibe and how the women really reacted behind the scenes to her return and the advice she has for Bethenny who, maybe, does “know it all”. Holla, this Mama is Behind The Rope and ready to spill it all.

Show notes

Luis Ruelas and Bo Dietl have been sued for allegedly hacking the computers for “harassment and abuse” of Luis’ ex Vanessa Reiser. We break down the origins of these claims, deep dive the claims themselves, review Luis’ cryptic social media responses and Bo Dietl’s response, analyze what this means for next season of RHONJ and how this potentially effects RHONJ’s return in April. We discuss Teresa’s involvement in this, the fact that history could be repeating itself and chat about what she must be going through. Can someone say PTSD? Moving on, we recap RHOBH - Erika’s pain, Sutton’s apology, Kyle’s revelations about Mauricio, Annemarie’s brunch, Garcelle’s charity, Dorit’s confusion, Crystal’s absence and much, much more. Finally, Larsa and Marcus break up, make up and shop.

KATO KAELIN (on OJ - Separating Fact From Fiction, New Developments, Real Housewives & Celeb Big Brother) II Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Kato Kaelin steps back Behind The Rope. The man. The myth. The legend. Where to being when sitting down with a man whose narrative has been created, crafted, discussed, dissected and analyzed by the media to the nth degree without ever taking the time to sit down and chat with the man himself. Kato chats about how life changed when he was thrust into public scrutiny of epic proportion over night as a key witness in one of the most high profile murder cases in history, The People vs. OJ Simpson. Kato recalls the night the murders took place, OJ, the trial, the public, the mayhem, the LA riots, his iconic hair, Marcia Clark, how and why OJ was acquitted and much more. Kato discusses the concept of fame, Hollywood, Ryan Murphy’s OJ, The Kardashians - then and now, Celebrity Big Brother, and what life is like when you are more infamous than famous, more infamous than rich and the many, many public misconceptions surrounding OJ, himself and the series of events for which people most closely associate him with. Part II starts now.

KANDI BURRUSS (on RHOA, Cast Mates & Being a Legend) Feb 11, 2024

Show notes

Kandi Burruss has exited RHOA! Legend Kandi Burruss that is. How did we get here? Kandi reflects upon on her time thought the past many seasons on one of Bravo’s top rated franchises, reflects upon heavy hitters who have come and gone - Nene, Cynthia, Porsha, Kim Zolciak and chats those who have enjoyed a shorter tenure - Eva, Claudia, Shamari, Kim Fields. In honor of her exit, we share this blast from the past chat with one of our favs. Kandi chats highs and lows of her time on RHOA. Being an actual bona fide musical superstar who has written songs, not only for her supergroup Xscape, but the likes of N’Sync, Destiny’s Child & Pink, to name a few, we had to chat Housewives’ songs - Countess Lu, Kenya Moore, Melissa Gorga, Kim Z and Candiace Dillard and get Kandi’s professional opinion! Finally, we break down Kandi’s other reality TV creds - Kandi and The Gang, The Masked Singer and Celebrity Big Brother. Farewell Ms. Burruss. You will be missed.
