Gregg McBride (on Writing Mommy Meanest, Working w/ Lisa Rinna, RHOBH & Melrose Place)

Simon and Porsha continue to fight over their mansion, sling the shade on social and involve RHOA producers and Bravo as Porsha tries to film the new season of the Atl now that she has regained her peach.  Heading west, apparently everyone in town - Jeff Lewis, Lisa Vanderpump and the rest of the RHOBH cast - knew about PK and Dorit’s separation.  We break down their separation, discuss the likelihood of them reconciling and check in with the current season of RHOBH filming.  Kyle and Morgan step out amidst fan fare and paparazzi, continue to dodge direct questions about their status and smile knowing we all have something to say. RHONJ moves along with the lowest ratings in RHONJ history, Kathryn Dennis tries to bounce back after her shocking DUI arrest, Ariana and Katie move on and much, much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef  BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84)  RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!  Your Cash Back really adds up!)

Melissa’s Old Nose steps Behind The Rope.  Gabriela, that is. Teresa, Melissa, Margaret and the rest of the cast of RHONJ has all been asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have emerged in full force over the last few weeks since the beginning of the season to reveal secret DMs, leaked Season 14 screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more. Today, the woman behind it all, Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriela - stops by to, as we like to say, mention it all. She details just how she went from fan, to popular twitter handle to Teresa’s minion receiving what seems like thousands of DM’s from Teresa throughout the years with specific instructions to “tear down” her RHONJ nemeses - Margaret, Mel, Louie’s ex Vanessa and many others which she details in full. She reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, Dolores, Andy Cohen. We discuss the now involvement of BravoLebs and Famous Super Fans like Kate Chastain, Michael Rapaport and others who were seemingly part of Tre’s take down plan. The more Melissa’s Old Nose revealed, the more questions we had regarding the secret, toxic nature of what really goes on Behind The Scenes, off camera with the RHONJ cast past and present. As hard as it is to render us speechless, consider us schooled in complete disbelief. #nowords.
