RHOBH New Season Filming, Faye Resnick Update & Shannon Beador’s Drinking

Koa Johnson steps Behind The Rope.  If that name sounds familiar to you it is because he is the designer that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah was seen berating in the leaked viral video way back when.  Koa’s name has resurfaced recently in relation to Monica Garcia and Reality Von Tease. Were the signs there? Is this chat foreshadowing several years in the making? Koa starts at the beginning explaining how, where, when, and why he came to work for RHOSLC’s Jen Shah.  Koa details what their working relationship was like as designer and official Shah Squad member which, if you have seen the video, you know was not all that pleasant.  Speaking of the viral video, Koa chats about when it was taken, what caused Jen Shah to lose her sh&t, who else was in the room and, whether this type of behavior was a common occurrence, and just who does he think leaked the video to the media.  Koa explains the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment with Jen, why he never spoke out about their working relationship before, the long term effects their time together has had on him, what he would like to say to Jen and his recommendations to Bravo and her fellow RHOSLC cast members going forward in regards to Jen.  We share this never before publicly aired chat today with the one and only Koa Johnson.  @designerkojo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 310 NUTRITION - 310nutrition.com (50% Off Up To $100 w/ Code Velvetrope on the Best Hydration, All-in-One Shakes & Refreshing Lemonade Mixes) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.

RHONJ has returned to our lives.  We break down the Season 14 premiere sharing some good news and some not so great news. Hot Dog Lips, Tre and Luis vs. The Fudas, Jackie vs. Marge, John Fuda’s statement as soon as the episode ended, Jen Fessler living in her own world, candy bags for all, a shattered foreshadowed final scene at Rails and a cast that is either not speaking, feuding or still trying to figure out their storylines for this - hopefully - great season to come.  In addition to breaking down this episode, we chat about all that is going on in the real world regarding RHONJ and predict - yes here we go again - what will happen once this season ends. We also discuss The Valley, the problems that still exist in casting RHOA and the effect Vanderpump Rules may have on RHONJ.  Finally, we welcome today’s special guest Andrea Lopez as the one and only Teresa Giudice.   @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now:  https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

This explosive season of Vanderpump Rules has ended with a bang. Lala slams Ariana, Tom attempts to make peace with Ariana by speaking directly to her and new BF Daniel, Scheana struggles with forgiving Tom while still remaining loyal to Ariana, Jo is bullied and everything comes to a head in the much expected Tom Sandoval redemption season. As Schwartzy said, "plot twist", or is it? The VPR after shows were even messier with Lala doubling down, Kristen and Brittney weighing in and the name of Beyonce being taken in vain. Finally, we address the rumors that Kyle and Dorit do not want to film with each other next RHOBH season, the effect - if any - that will have on their ability to hold a diamond and the party Sutton is having this weekend because filming has…begun! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
