RHONJ Season 14, Episode 7. Half way through and, finally, something has happened. In typical Margaret fashion, Marge reveals private texts between her and Jackie where Jackie calls Dolo a slob.

Dolo put on her readers and gets angry, Aydin sees, hears and reveals all, Tre slams John and Rachel, Rachel and John clap back, Joey Gorga pretends, again, he is still in college and last, but certainly not least, Messy G thinks her Johnnie Walker Blue Label is bugged.  All this and more as we share the second half of our first ever live show where no question was off limits and pleading the fifth was not an option.  With the one and only Andrea Lopez.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.
