BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Latest Episodes:

Dorit & PK Reconcile, Dolores Catania's Scam, Gina K Takes Down Tamra & RHOC's Deep Dark Secret Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

Dorit & PK reconcile much to everyone’s surprise but all is not as meets the eye as this season’s filming of RHOBH continues. Dolores Catania is caught up in a scam that no one saw coming. RHOC’s up and down season continues which the entire cast still promise a very dark, deep secret to be revealed at the finale, lie detector and all. Lindsay Hubbard’s spin off is set to film. Jesse Lally’s girlfriend comes forward with a much different story than was told at The Valley reunion. Tom Sandoval defends Jax Taylor and oh so very much more.

MELISSA RIVERS (on RHONJ’s Future, Truth Behind Denise’s Divorce, Bethenny’s “Exile” & Beckham Family Feud) Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

Melissa Rivers returns for everyone’s favorite Bravo / Pop Culture Round Up! Melissa is here and there is no shortage of hot tea to spill. Bethenny Frankel has been making big waves, and moves, this summer and Melissa is here to help make sense of it all. The RHONY OGs have been spending quite a bit of time together this summer in The Hamptons but all is not necessarily as it seems. Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers stick to their stories of he said/ she said which leaves everyone confused, shocked and saddened as this divorce gets stranger by the day. RHONJ Season 14 is close to being cast but who will be in and who will be out. In other news, The Beckhams family feud gets worse as Brooklyn and Nicola take further steps to isolate Victoria and David. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner spark break up rumors despite hard core denials. Finally, Jennifer Aniston tells all, literally all, about Matthew Perry, Brad Pitt, love, Friends and more!

Teresa's RHONJ Bargaining Chip - Gia, Aaron's End Game w/ Denise & Tamra's Therapy is Not Working Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

Denise Richards makes strides in her divorce against Aaron where she appears to be winning, remains seemingly unbothered and is thriving now that she has returned to RHOBH. RHONJ remains off the air but new facts emerge which seem to suggest that the entire cast could ultimately return, why Teresa and Melissa could work together again and how Gia may be a bargaining chip for Tre when the show eventually returns, maybe, next year. Speaking of show pauses, the new cast of RHONY is expected to be announced any day now with some familiar faces expected to return. Tamra’s therapy does not seem to be helping and she may actually have PTSD from RHOC past. Finally, with Ladies of London, Zoe, Gretchen and more back on Bravo, who from the past will be next. All this and more with the one and only Val Greenberg.

KATHRYN DENNIS (on Southern Charm, Cast Mates, Thomas, Her Children, Sobriety & That Hit & Run Rumor) II Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

Kathryn Dennis steps Behind The Rope. She’s baaaack. Kathryn returns to mention it all. Kathryn talks the highs and lows from her time on Southern Charm, cast mates good and bad, Southern Charm after her, Patricia Altschul and oh, so very much more. On a more serious note, Kathryn opens up about her ongoing struggles with Thomas Ravenel and the truth about her relationship with her children. Finally, Kathryn addresses the many tabloid rumors separating fact from fiction that have arisen regarding her rumored hit and run, custody battle over her children and what the tabloids say is her never ending battle with sobriety. Part II starts now.

The Gorga's Confirm RHONJ Return, Marge Says She's Back Too & Rachel Zoe Livid Over Denise Richards Return Aug 17, 2025

Show notes

Joe Gorga has confirmed that both he and Melissa will be returning to film RHONJ Season 15 when the show begins production later this year / early next year. Never one to miss out on an opportunity of her own, Margaret seemingly also confirms her return which, with Dolores and Teresa also present at this November’s BravoCon leads fans to think that the formal announcement may come during Bravo’s biggest day of the year. In other news, Tom Sandoval is rumored to have quit Reality TV to focus on his music with many wondering if he truly will not be doing Scheana on The Valley Season 3. Paige DeSorbo reveals the real reason she quit Summer House, Larsa Pippen has a new face, RHOM prepares for a major cast change and last, but not least, Rachel Zoe is apparently livid that Denise Richards’ RHOBH return amidst one of the most salacious divorces in years is stealing her debut season thunder.

YVIE ODDLY (on Reality TV, Real Housewives, Unpleasant Run In w/ Kandi Burruss, RuPaul & Miley Cyrus) Aug 17, 2025

Show notes

Yvie Oddly steps Behind The Rope. Yvie is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Yvie chats about what it was like to win Season Eleven of Drag Race, spills the tea on RuPaul and chats the Drag Race judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews. In the home stretch of the summer, we figured today was the perfect day to air this blast from the past chat with the one and only Yvie Oddly. Yvie also discusses guest judge Miley Cyrus and guest judge Kandi Burruss who she had a not so pleasant run in with. Way to bury the lead! Yvie talks celebrity culture, reality tv, social media and oh, so very much more.

Andy Cohen Accused Of Being a Gay Harvey Weinstein, Heather Dubrow is Furious & Shannon Beador's Destructive Path Aug 16, 2025

Show notes

In a series of shocking, scathing posts on Instagram, former Project Runway contestant Kenley Collins pulls back the layers of what she claims was a toxic work environment during her time on the hit show during Season 5 when it was run by both Harvey Weinstein and Andy Cohen. You have to hear this to believe what she is claiming. In other news, Heather Dubrow is mad, really mad, over Gina Kirschenheiter’s claims that Heather behaves much like Teresa Giudice off air digging into cast mate’s backgrounds. In this case, one Miss Katie Ginella. Shannon’s reign to destroy anyone and everyone in her way continues, Tamra slams everyone and RHOC makes major moves all of which will lead to its ultimate finale later this season of just who is the biggest liar on RHOC. Finally, The Valley concludes with Jax’s burner exposed, foreshadowing of Jesse Lally’s girlfriend hopefully joining the cast, Andy schooling everyone and Scheana set to take center stage next season when the new cast is announced any day now. Cue music…..

Carole Radziwill’s RHONY 16 Return, Gia's Desperate Move & Brandi Glanville Names Her Parasite “Caroline" Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

Carole Radziwill has returned to the clubhouse exactly 7 years after her last appearance but that is not all that she is returning to. We discuss Carole’s future on Bravo and one thing is very clear, RHONY Season 16 here we come. Andy plans to stick to his promise and announce the new RHONY cast any day now. Jen Fessler makes some desperate moves, Teresa talks her RHONJ future and Gia’s first podcast seems to have failed as she already has a new one in the works. Finally, Brandi Glanville is on a fast track to mental instability, burns off half her face and, in a move no one saw coming, names her parasite, which Vicki Gunvalson also claims she has, Caroline, we can only assume after Miss Manzo for the obvious reason of, well, having ruined her life. Finally, Lindsay Hubbard blasts the most self righteous man on Bravo, the one, the only, Mr. Carl Radke. All this plus a visit from the one and only Todd Chrisley.

Cops Called Again On Denise Richards After She Attacks, Jax Loses More of His Mind & Tres Amigas Update Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

Another day, another bit of drama in the Denise and Aaron saga which is now known as their divorce. From the cops being called to accusations of dead dogs, Denise and Aaron’s drama gets more insane by the day. Mistakes on both sides are made but how will this play out if and when their formal divorce actually has its day in court? Speaking of insane, Jax Taylor’s actions are making even less sense than usual after being fired from The Valley and his namesake bar as folks start to wonder if he will be okay now that the show is going on without him. Finally, Tamra Judge, in a shocking reveal, shares an update on her friendships with both Vicki and Shannon. Ahh, seems like old times…

Andy Cohen Reveals RHONJ's Future, Gia & Teresa Join Special Forces & Denise Richards Has Another Black Eye Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Andy Cohen has broken his silence and shared a mega update about the future of RHONJ that has us seated. Based on Andy’s update, many rumors, and nastiness, have arisen about who will be in, who will be out and who is still yet undermined as of today’s chat. We break down these rumors and nastiness separating fact from fiction and reveal when we can all expect to hear about the return of Teresa and/or Melissa and gang. Gia and Teresa join Special Forces with a whole slew of others. Last, but certainly not least, Denise Richards has a new black eye after storming the house where Aaron and his parents are coming.
