Kelly Dodd Slams Us, We Clap Back & Share DMs, Carl & Lindsay's Messy Break Up & RHOA Reboot Rumors Clarified Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

Meghan King steps Behind The Rope. Did everyone like our two part chat with Meghan King last week? It seems most of you did. Kelly Dodd did not. Kelly Dodd slipped into our DMs to slam, destroy and cyber bully us because she did not like what Meghan King said about her. We break down Meghan’s statements, read Kelly’s harsh words, issue a reply and talk about the harsh realities of cyberbullying in the Bravo world - this is the second time Ms. Dodd has acted out toward us. In other news, Summer House’s Carlito and Lindsay are dunzo. We break down all the recent rumors regarding their separation, separate fact from fiction, discuss the involvement of producers, share details from the cancelled wedding, deep dive why this was done on TV for the upcoming season of Summer House, and finally ask, are Carl and Lindsay the new Scandoval. Finally, we discuss all those RHOA rumors regarding a total reboot a la RHONY style, RHOA rumors that the entire first year Season One cast will return Kim Zolciak in tow minus one Miss Nene Leakes, RHOA rumors that some of the current cast will stay and address the on line vitriol spewed at RHOA production, Bravo’s response and what happens now.

RHONJ Season 14 Filming Tea, Tom & Ariana Update, Jax Taylor's Return & Our Recent DM's From Phaedra Parks Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

As the new season of RHONJ is in full swinging filming with Teresa and Melissa still not speaking to each other, we check in with the leaked drama from set thus far, discuss how the rest of the season is likely to play out and which past RHONJ and RHONJ “Friends Of” are actually likely to return later this season despite all the on line chatter, fake news and rumors. In other news, with Jax, Kristen, Ramona and Mary Cosby back in the Bravo mix, we analyze how, where and why and whether there is a double standard when talent is let go seemingly for cause as to who the golden doors remain open to for a much hyped return. Finally, we discuss how and why Tom and Ariana are still living together, share Vanderpump Rules Season 11 filming updates and the likelihood that the franchise can achieve another season of Scandoval level drama without Ms. Leviss in tow. Finally, we reveal our recent DMs from the icon that is Phaedra Parks. Talk about burying the lead.

DEBBIE MATENOPOULOS (on The View, RHOBH, Barbara Walters, Rinna Update & Red Carpets) Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

Debbie Matenopoulos steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about Debbie’s time at The View, exit from The View and working relationships with her co-hosts but Debbie is here today to set the record straight regarding all of that. Debbie chats about what it was like to be twenty two and personally invited by Barbara Walters to audition for a career changing job on a show that would go on for twenty six seasons and counting and become not only a culture defining hot topics go to but a piece of pop culture iconography which has been the subject of much controversy throughout the decades. Debbie chats co-hosts Barbara Walters, Star Jones, Meredith Viera and Joy Behar, the book Ladies Who Punch, what the backstage atmosphere was really like and many of The View’s famous co-hosts since - Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McCarthy, Candace Cameron Bure and last, but certainly not least, Meghan McCain! Moving on, Debbie chats about life after the View - hosting every red carpet imaginable, fashion, lifestyle, food, Fashion Police and Joan Rivers.

Bethenny Frankel's Fall From Grace or Brilliant Move, Future Plans w/ Raquel Leviss & Candiace Dillard Run In This Week Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Despite many of y’all calling her the “thirstiest Bravolebrity on the planet” - your words, not ours, we discuss the fall out from Bethenny’s chat with Raquel, her claims that she “does not care”, the cast’s / ex-cast’s reactions - Lala, Scheana, Stassi, Katie, Ariana, LVP and what Raquel is going to do in career wise. Speaking of Bethenny, we check in on the status of her “Reality Reckoning”, the strategy of her attorney’s to have Bravo voluntarily let their talent out of their NDAs and analyze the likelihood that this reckoning will be successful. Finally, we recently attended Candiace Dillard’s “Deep Space Tour” and spill the tea on it all!!

KRISTIN CAVALLARI's Ex-BFF Tells All! Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

Everyone always asks me what my favorite reality shows of all time are and I always answer the same thing. Laguna Beach and The Hills. On that note and with the end of summer here on this holiday weekend, we figured it a great time to share this chat with Kelly Henderson, from Very Cavallari. Who watched Very Cavallari? Kelly is also known, in the media, as Kristin Cavallari’s ex-BFF. There were all those rumors after their fall out that she had an affair with Jay Cutler so we did the only thing we knew how to do, invite her on this podcast. We address all those rumors, chat about her once friendship with Jay and Kristin and discuss the real truth behind their epic fall out and whether it played any part in leading to Jay and Kristin’s very public divorce. Kelly mentions it all.

SOPHIA HUTCHINS (on RHOBH, Caitlyn Jenner, The Kardashians, RHOBH & Kanye West) Sep 03, 2023

Show notes

With the return later this month of The Kardashians and all going on with Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”, we figured it a great time to share this chat we had with Sophia Hutchins back in our oh so far distant first year. Checking in from the home she shares with Caitlyn Jenner in Malibu, California, Sophia is here to talk about it all. Sophia chats with us about how and where she first met Caitlyn Jenner, clarifies, yes we asked, the “status” of her relationship with Caitlyn as well as the rest of the Kardashian Brood, discusses the enigma that is Kanye West, breaks down some of the biggest misconceptions about herself and her relationship with Caitlyn and answers why the world is so enthralled with their “friendship” and obsessed with anything Kardashian related. Just how did the Ks become the world’s most famous family? Finally, we discuss the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and cross our fingers that our fav RHOBH franchise returns, as promised, this November!

Kim D.'s Teresa "Reconciliation", Podcast Exit, Our Response & Our RHONJ Apology! Sep 02, 2023

Show notes

There has been so much speculation, gossip and on line chatter about Teresa Giudice and Kim D’s rumored reconciliation. Today we break our silence on what we know, clarify whether these two have actually spoken or this is all just a fabricated internet rumor, Melissa’s involvement and likelihood this would, could and will ever lead to Kim’s much desired return to RHONJ. Next, we detail how this “reconciliation” led to Kim’s tossing us aside like a stale crust of bread, her constant twenty four seven disses, angry video rants and how, now that this serves as our official statement, it is something we will never ever speak on again regardless of comments, clap backs, and more angry and bitter statements from her camp or any other camp, podcast or blogger. Finally, in retrospect, we analyze the biases we allowed this podcast to be subjected to, talk the future - RHOBH (Nov 1), RHOP (Nov 5), RHOSLC (Next Week!) and apologize to several RHONJ cast members. All this and more. Cue the music….

RHONJ Season 14 Drama, Tre's New Nemesis, Fuda vs. Paulie, Melissa's Silent Treatment & Newbie Alert Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently filming Season Fourteen. We break down all the behind the scenes tea, the epic fights - John Fuda vs. Paulie and the fact that Teresa and Melissa are filming group “all cast” scenes without having yet to speak a word to each other. Hey, this is nothing new for Tre. Anyone remember Kathy Wakile, Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub? Need we go on? In a strange twist of events, Teresa has bigger fish to fry this season than Melissa and what her plan is to move forward without all the typical Housewives’ noise she has experienced in the past. Speaking of RHONJ Season Fourteen, we explain why everyone is back this season - plus two, discuss Danielle Cabral’s new friends and why John and Rachel Fuda are already having one F of a season. In other news, Tom Girardi is set to head to court, in person, to determine capacity, share a Bravocon update, explain our plan for Bravocon and break down whether Raquel Leviss can, and will sue, for Revenge Porn and if so, the full list of who.

Bethenny's New Andy Cohen Shade, Raquel's New Biz Venture, & The Reality Behind Reality TV Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

It has been two weeks since Raquel sat down with Bethenny Frankel on her Podcast. We have listened. You have listened. Everyone has listened. We share our thoughts - the good, the bad, the other and explain why we are still so conflicted about this three part chat. Moving on to the finances of it all, we answer all your burning questions - was Raquel really not paid, how much did Bethenny really make, is Bethenny really going to help Raquel and get into business with her and should Raquel call us, ASAP immediately for financial and career advice. Answer: Yes! Finally we break down the real reason Rachel did not return to Vanderpump Rules and address whether Bethenny’s “Reality Reckoning” has been created to help those reality stars in need or a way to get back at Daddy Cohen for all sorts of reasons.
