TODD & JULIE CHRISLEY (on Chrisley Knows Best, Family, The Kardashians, Joining RHOBH & The Future) Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

Today we share this chat with Julie and Todd Chrisley recorded just a few short months ago. Were there signs? Should we have known? As they say, hindsight is 2020.

Todd and Julie Chrisley step Behind The Rope. Todd and Julie reminisce about the epic journey over the past eight years from day one to present that we have all watched play out week after week on Chrisley Knows Best. We chat highs & lows both on and off camera, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, Nanny Faye, just who wears the pants in this family, that “other” reality TV fam known as The Kardashians, whether Todd is really as “particular” in real life about everything as he seems on the small screen, and which Real Housewives would Julie and Todd like to join. We discuss all the spin offs - According To Chrisley, Growing Up Chrisley, What’s Cooking with Julie, biggest misconceptions, and just what is next for this family that refuses to slow down any time soon. One thing that is next, is a partnership with Nutrisystem which has helped both Todd and Julie on their journey to weight loss (see the link below for a special offer from Nutrisystem and The Chrisley’s to get started today!)

Diana Jenkins' Room 23, Crystal's 14 Friends, Kyle's Mastermind, Sutton's Clap Backs & Erika Jayne's Love For It All! Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Diana Jenkins. When has a new Real Housewife given us so much so quickly. We break down all the recent headlines Ms. Jenkins has made recently - famous friends, racially incentive comments, Room 23 featuring a scantily clad Lisa Rinna, allegations that she was a high end Madame and seemingly false tabloid fodder in the form of Robert Downey Jr. comments. In other RHOBH news, we have the case of 14 missing friends, Erika Jayne loving life this season, Sutton Stracke’s clap backs, the freezing over of all in the form of an EJ/Sutton, dare we say, budding friendship and last but certainly not least, what happens after this season with all our favorite Diamond Holders.

Braunwyn Windham Burke (on RHOC Past/Present/Future, Coming Out, Recovery, Castmates & "Fake" Storylines!) II Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, new relationship with girlfriend Victoria and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow, the breakup of her friendship with Noella and much more. All this as we conclude our epic two part chat with the one and only Miss Braunwyn Windham Burke.

Kim D. (on Tre's Love Bubble Housewarming, Joey Gorga's Rumored Fight with Luis & RHOBH / RHODubai Recaps)! Jun 25, 2022

Show notes

What a week in RHONJ news. Tre had her “Love Bubble” Housewarming Party, the entire cast attended and rumor is Jackie got into it with someone there. In other RHONJ news, Luis is back to making videos, this time on his IG, Tre is trying to find her own inner peace by praying to Buddhas and not flip any more tables and Joey Gorga gets hot under the collar once again, this time directed toward Luis. Heading west, we break down this past week’s RHOBH where Christmas comes early when EJ and Sutton compare men, Denise Richards gets name checked, Erika gets sloshed, ruins a couch and still makes dinner as we are left to ponder just who is the master manipulator of this group. We have not seen skills this sharp in, well, a long time!

BRAD GORESKI (on Real Housewives, Lisa Rinna, Fashion Police, NeNe Leakes & Husband Gary Janetti)! Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

Earlier in the week we sat down and chatted with Gary Janetti. Today we re-share this chat with the one and only Brad Goreski. Brad Goreski steps Behind The Rope. Brad Goreski is a Celebrity Stylist who we know and love from some of TV’s finest such as Fashion Police, The Rachel Zoe Project and It’s a Brad Brad World. However, at one time in his life, a skin condition known as Rosacea forced him to shy away from the camera, if you can believe that. Along with Dermatologist, Doctor Shereene Idriss, Brad is here to explain what Rosacea is and what can be done about it. Thank you Brad and Dr. Idriss for bringing awareness to this chronic skin condition, for offering encouragement, and for bringing a face and name to this ever growing issue which can be treated. Of course, while we have Brad’s attention, we had to discuss his time on Fashion Police, what it was like and would he ever consider a reboot. Of course, we also dive deep into RHOBH, Lisa Rinna and Real Housewives. We also discuss the new E Network Fashion / Beauty show he has in the works with the one and only NeNe Leakes. Brad also dishes on which Awards Show, he has done them all, is his favorite. He explains what the current state of Fashion is and how he thinks it will be forever changed. Finally, we catch up with Brad on all that he and husband Gary Janetti have been up to over the past few months and what else is next up for the power couple. Thanks for stopping by Brad.

Andy Cohen's Tre/Ramona Text Messages, Tamra Judge's Heather Dubrow/Gizelle Bryant Feuds, Luann & Sonja's "Simple Life" & More! Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

Kim Zolciak has responded to NeNe Leakes’ lawsuit in which she was mentioned. Let us just start there in this weeks Bravo Gossip round up. Teresa Giudice makes changes to her wedding thanks to Ramona’s leak and Andy Cohen shares his text exchange and phone calls with Tre and Ramona regarding said leak. In other news, Tamra Judge seems to be feuding with everyone these days - Heather Dubrow, Gizelle Bryant and many others. We break down the reasons why and deep dive each. Sonja and Countess Lu want to be the next Paris and Nicole, Crystal and Sutton are still feuding and we share a very unpopular opinion on who will most likely be the next to be let go on RHOBH at the termination, no pun intended, of this season. All this plus the three rumored new Housewives cities struck down!

GARY JANETTI (on Writing Will & Grace, Husband Brad Goreski, BFF Lisa Rinna, RHOBH, Madonna!) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

Gary Janetti steps Behind The Rope. Gary chats about the full anthology of his career from humble early days, to Family Guy to Writer, Executive Producer and Show Runner of one of the best TV shows of all time, well, ever, Will and Grace. Gary chats guest stars - Madonna, Britney and Cher, the cast Debra, Eric, Megan and Sean, fav story lines, and just how much of his own love life was written into Will Truman. On a personal note, Gary discusses meeting a then twenty three year old Brad Goreski on vacation in Mykonos, taking him home to LA where he never left, and turning a chance meeting in a crowded Grecian plaza into a 21 year relationship as a Hollywood Power Couple. Gary deep dives into how life changed when Brad became a reality star a la “The Rachel Zoe Project” and what it was like to appear in front of the camera with Brad on Bravo’s “It’s a Brad, Brad World”. In addition to Gary’s other mega accomplishments, he happens to be BFFs with one Lisa RHOBH Rinna. Gary chats what its like to hang with Lisa Rinna, why RHOBH is his fav franchise, what he thinks of this season, whether NeNe Leakes can “come back” from suing a network, what he really thinks of The Tale of Two RHONY’s, the return of Miss Sheree Whitfield and much more. Finally, run, don’t walk to pick up a copy of Gary’s new book, “Start Without Me” which will leave you laughing out loud.
