Alexis' RHOC Full Time Role, Sonja Morgan’s Dark Side, Karen Huger’s DUI Trial & Nasty Texts From Housewives Exposed

Now that the RHOC Reunion has one more part to go, we cannot help but look ahead to next season of RHOC - the expected return of the entire cast, the possible upgrade of Alexis "Jesus Jugs” to full time, a possible Johnny J and Fun Lexi televised wedding and cameras which, with tensions running high and ratings that are decent, expected to be picked back up with very little to no break for our fav orange holders.  Karen Huger’s DUI trial moves forward with possible severe consequences that The Grand Dame seems to be ignoring.  Lisa Barlow takes no prisoners both on RHOSLC and off air behind the scenes as this stellar season moves along. Sonja Morgan’s dark side is exposed, VPR’s future moves one step closer to being solidified and Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning seems to be working in ways no one ever expected.  All this and more as Part III of our live show, where no question was off limits and you shady MF’s brought the heat, airs unedited exposing new Housewife feuds, nasty DM’s we have received the past week / few weeks from Housewives and much, much more leaving no one safe, friend or foe. Yup, it’s that kinda episode.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now:  https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A few months ago, at the close of last season’s very toxic RHONJ, we discussed the vision we foresaw for the future of RHONJ. In other words, who would be back and who would not be back. Today, we step into the alternative universe with another, possibly clearer vision. Melissa or Teresa. That is the question and regardless of whether Melissa or Teresa are back, how, if at all, are the rest of the cast affected. Short answer, not so much at all. We break down how and why, discuss when we expect to hear about Season 15 casting, dispel the many, many, many false rumors out there and much more.  Finally, we touch upon the current state of Housewives with RHOBH, RHOP, RHOC and RHOSLC all airing, starting, or finishing very soon.  Part II starts now.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) 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.

Melissa’s Old Nose - Gabriella - steps back Behind The Rope.  She’s baaack and so is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Gabriella is here to help break down the stellar trailer, the upcoming season - Dorit vs. Kyle, Dorit vs. Sutton, Sutton vs Kyle, newbies Jennifer Tilly and Boz, Kyle & Mo’s separation, Kyle & Morgan, Dorit & PK’s separation, the joys of Sutton Stracke and what it is like to watch a Housewives show with no specific teams where the women are actually rich, really, really rich.  Speaking of teams, with Gabriella here, the convo turns to RHONJ. We discuss Jennifer Aydin’s reaction and likely future once she finds out she is not returning to RHONJ, why TreStumps are still angry with Dolo, why Dolores would never “work” with Bloggers the way Tre and Aydin “allegedly” did, why Tre and Aydin have still not “learned”, what Teresa told her about her brother Joey Gorga, Andy Cohen’s true feelings about Joey G, when we are expected to hear about the future of RHONJ, who is most likely returning and what she has heard about casting and potential newbies.  Whew!

Another day, another twist and turn in the Teddi Mellencamp divorce. Rumors arise that Teddi has been having an affair for a long time with her Horse Trainer and that it is well known in the equestrian community. Edwin lets the world know that he and Ms. Mellencamp have a pre-nup. Last, but not least, Teddi reveals she has been in pain for years and that none other than Kyle Richards has inspired her to finally break free.  Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson dig into Katie Ginella’s past in a move that reminded us of Tre and Louie, Pedranti hits Simpson where it hurts and Tamra and Shannon attempt to reconcile, kinda, but not really.  JT quits Southern Charm refusing to participate in press or any more green screen interviews.  RHO Dubai is cancelled and The Huff Post slams the RHONY Reboot as a “total fail” causing us to wonder if the RHONY franchise is next. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps back Behind The Rope.  Vicki is here to chat about the full ride of her RHOC career - the ups and downs, good and bad and everything in between from her time on the show to life after being a full time RHOC Orange Holder.  Vicki opens up about many of her much publicized relationships that we have seen and heard so much about on air and behind the scenes - Don, Brooks and Steve. Vicki discusses her many tumultuous relationships with RHOC co-stars Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino, Meghan King Edmonds (Did Brooks lie about cancer?), Jeana Keough and Heather Dubrow. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with The OG of the OC so kick back, relax and enjoy this trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma, Slade Smiley’s infamous “pig” comment, her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van?
