THELMA HOUSTON (On Disco, “Dont Leave Me This Way”, Beyonce, Cher & Masked Singer)

The RHOC trailer packs a mighty punch - Shannon vs Tamra, Jen Pedantri’s man and the FBI, a newbie coming for Queen Dubrow, Teddi Mellencamp with the shade, Sutton Stracke and one angry Archie Beador.

Since Kenya Moore’s indefinite suspension, Bravo has failed to release a formal statement, RHOA has continues to film and Miss Moore’s Housewife future remains uncertain. We break down the likelihood that she will really be permanently fired, the investigation behind the scenes that Bravo is most likely conducting and all the comparable situations Bravo has turned a blind eye to in the past.  Speaking of those situations, Danielle Staub has entered the chat. We break down her own revenge porn claims and RHONJ’s past involvement in these claims. Next we break down all the mounting claims that Luis Ruelas and Vinivia CEO are accused of fraud, non payment of employees and much, much more. In other news, Jackie called Dolo a slob, got ratings on WWH better than Tre, and side eyes Marge as their friendship seems to be forever damaged. Finally, if you have not heard, Justin Timberlake was arrested for DUI across the street from our home at our regular place, The American Hotel in Sag Harbor. We break down what we know, what we saw and how this summer in The Hamptons is already off to an insane start.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 6.  It is official. We are at the half way mark and Teresa and Louie have finally sat down with Rachel and John Fuda.  Apologies, rejections of apologies, name calling and another epic storm out but this wouldn’t be RHONJ without a good table flip or walk out.  We break down the episode - Dolo wants a ring, Cabral heads to Fashion Week, Marge the Sarge does charity work, Messy G lays low, Fessler and Aydin have fun and sip margs, Jackie and Tre grow closer and much, much more.  Our favorite guest, Teresa Giudice, as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all this drama and all that has been going on behind the scenes off air in the dirty jerz. After that, for all you wonderful Patreons who have been asking, yes, as a huge thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin we share our live show from the other week where no question was off limits and where we could not plead  the fifth. Of course the REAL reason for past RHONJ friendship breakups was the top question we received and yea, it was time to set the record straight. #enjoy @andrealopezcomedy @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.
