Why Wendy Osefo Is Secretly Happy After Arrest, Vanderpump Rules 2.0 (What We Know) & New Podcast Feuds

Now that the dust has settled from Wendy and Eddie Osefo’s shocking arrests, new facts are revealed, episodes are being re-edited and RHOP seems to be having one epic, albeit unexpected, season. Based on The Osefo’s recent F Ups, it is time to deep dive why so many Real Housewives feel the need to live above, or in this case way above, their means. With all the attention granted to The Osefo’s, and mug shots with a huge smile, one cannot help but wonder if Wendy is but a bit happy at all this newfound attention, regardless of minor setbacks such as her episode of Wife Swap being cancelled. In other news, Tom Sandoval gains further redemption, Vanderpump Rules 2.0 prepares to take center stage when it premieres later this year and last, but not least, BravoHolics worldwide prepare for their Super Bowl, BravoCon, a mere few weeks from now. @dnealz @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Garcelle Beauvais has a lot to say lately about Erika, Boz, Sutton and her ex RHOBH co-stars before shutting down all sorts of talk about her past life as a Housewife while out promoting her new Lifetime film.  Turns out Teresa is more desperate than we thought having turned to cousin Kathy Wakile for a reconciliation before her absolute last choice, Joe and Melissa Gorga.  Last, but not least, Wendy Osefo demands that all of her charges be dismissed accusing police of an illegal arrest.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Candiace Dillard Bassett steps Behind The Rope. Candiace is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Candiace breaks down her journey on RHOP - the highs and lows, good times, drama and more. Candiace talks cast mates Wendy, Robin, Gizelle, Ashley and The Grand Dame. Candiace also chats about her past with Monique Samuels - both on and off air, husband Chris Bassett, other franchises’  Housewives and her love of all things Shonda Rhimes.

With all this talk about Teresa’s upcoming reconciliation with Joe and Melissa Gorga, it is time to take a moment out and ask how this make up will affect Margaret Josephs, how do Marge and Dolo feel about this reconciliation and even if Tre and Mel reconcile, how could an RHONJ exist with all 4 of the above mentioned Housewives. Teresa seems to have a fall back plan, if her fake reconciliation tour does not work and, in a move no one saw coming, it involves prison. Of course, inserting ourselves right in the middle of this three ring circus dog and pony show, we offer some advice, albeit unsolicited, to Tre and Mel that we suggest they listen to very, very closely. Last, but not least, to lighten the mood, a RHOSLC recap to end all recaps in what is still one brilliant, this is how it is done, master class of a season. Bravo, no pun intended. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eddie Judge has come forward to expresses some concerns he has about wife Tamra Judge. Kyle Richards, on the other hand, seems to have finally caught a big break and fans galore prepare for the return of RHOBH which now has a premiere date later this year right after BravoCon. MJ announced her divorce after seven years of marriage to Tommy Feight and the shiz is about to hit the fan big time. RHOC heads into its finale week, RHOSLC brings the humor and the new season of RHOM stalls. Last, but not least, Wendy Osefo lies to us again, uses religion as a scapegoat and worries more about fame, appearances and TV than the fact that she may be headed to jail some time soon. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

As Teresa Giudice and her brother Joey G prepare for their ill fated reconciliation meet up, one thing has become crystal clear. Bravo has no interest in filming this sit down in what some may call a nostalgic moment, most call living in the past. In other words, been there, done that. Sutton’s ex assistant Avi is team Garcelle as the two are seen growing closer by the day. Teddi Mellencamp faces some fake news. Stacey Rusch proves her naysayers - Ashley and Gizelle - wrong with receipts that her divorce, in fact, was real. The fans become outraged over this season of RHOP for a whole slew of reasons. Last, but certainly not least, Schwartzy gets booed up but does not want to reveal too much about the new lady in his life. Let’s discuss what we know.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Another day, another twist and turn in the Wendy Osefo / Eddie Osefo arrest which has left the Bravo world flabbergasted. Although Andy Cohen and cast mates have attempted to reach out to Ms. Osefo, Wendy is “doing her own thing”, not responding and remains too embarrassed to film RHOP.  In other words, Ms. Osefo seems to have gone into hiding and is avoiding everyone including the RHOP “cameras back up”. In other news, now that Joey G has decided he is ready to sit down with sister Teresa, wife Melissa weighs in on how she really feels about this upcoming meeting. As usual, Tamra Judge is meddling into other people’s business where she is not wanted (to no one’s surprise), has her own strange claims about Wendy Osefo, and mocks David Beador’s wife Leslie in a strange move no one saw coming. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that Aaron Phypers has been arrested, has made bail, and is out and free for the time being, he is carrying on as if he has no worries and has not just been arrested for Spousal Abuse of Denise Richards.  Erika Jayne has received some very bad news, but attempts to carry on and ignore. Speaking of Erika, Countess Lu has a message for both her and Dorit. Speaking of Lu, the new cast of RHONY is all but set and expected to be announced in mere weeks at BravoCon. Influencers, socialites, a familiar well known name and at least one shocking RHONY from the past, RHONY is attempting to fix the mess that was the past two seasons. Speaking of NYC, Next Gen has begun filming this week with some very familiar faces, some unexpected returns and last, but not least, some earth shattering exits no one saw coming. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that Joey Gorga has had time to process Teresa’s long text asking to meet up for a full on reconciliation so that she can regain her job on, and paycheck from, RHONJ, he is preparing for his big meeting with a few statements, wants and all out demands. Wendy Osefo continues to suffer new losses as the days go on and the fall out from her insurance scam arrest have been exposed to Bravo and the rest of the world. Last, but not least, as Next Gen NYC prepares to begin filming its second season, cast changes arise, Producer desires are revealed and one fake AF storyline becomes clear revealing that all is not as it seems amongst our Gen Z Big Apple residents.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)
