With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC.  Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more.  We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back. Part II starts now.

Another week, another episode of RHONJ.  We break down this week’s episode with the help of the one and only Tre, as played by Andrea Lopez. Next, we cover all that has been going on in the real world summarizing the many interviews the cast has been doing, less Jennifer Aydin who is rumored to have been banned from interviews due to allegedly leaking Season 14 screeners.  Teresa says her parents support her not speaking to Joe, Joey claps back, Melissa reminds Bravo who the “dream team” is, Teresa denies she pays fan Podcasts, Marge and Mel are outraged at Tre’s behavior, Jackie says the toxic franchise has become “The Hunger Games” and the entire cast, viewers and us all agree that none of this weekly vitriol is sustainable.  Whew, and we are only two episodes in.  Listen Now At: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
