<p>A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Listen to SUSPECT: </strong><a href="http://wondery.fm/Suspect_VelvetRope%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://wondery.fm/Suspect_VelvetRope&nbsp;</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

Red Carpet, which Awards Shows are his favorite, who he would love to sit down and have lunch with and last, but certainly not least, his iconic silver hair.&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><p>@mrjaymanuel</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>BONUS EPISODES Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BOLL &amp; BRANCH - </strong><a href="https://www.bollandbranch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.bollandbranch.com </strong></a><strong>(15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BETTER HELP -&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a><strong> (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p><strong>MERCH Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Sutton Stracke - she’s back!!!!&nbsp;Sutton stops by to break down all that has been happening this epic season of RHOBH!&nbsp;First things first, we chat about how this season has been different for Sutton, her highs and lows, biggest challenges, what and who shocked her the most, who she grew closer to and father apart from, and the many instances which have caused her to shed a tear, or two, or three!&nbsp;Sutton opens up about bumping heads with Crystal - an initial run in with racial overtones, the meaning of the word violation, ugly leather pleated pants and a prank gone so wrong she may never drink a martini again (oh no!).&nbsp;We pay homage to the Icon that is Kathy Hilton and the many reasons why we are all so lucky she has joined this cast.&nbsp;Sutton chats about what filming was like in real time as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast made headlines heard around the world.&nbsp;We chat with Sutton about Rinna’s odd behavior of holding no one accountable this season, her recent statement on WWHL that she has learned from her past “mistakes” (Rinna’s word, not ours) towards Denise Richards (and LVP, we wonder?) and whether a leopard can really change its spots or is Lisa Rinna never going to not be able to ultimately urge her cast mates to “own it”. Yea, we went there.&nbsp;Finally, we chat with Sutton about her “rose” and “thorn” of the season and what is the one big thing she regrets.&nbsp;Once thing is for sure, Sutton sure has earned that diamond this season!</p><br><p><br></p><p>@suttonstracke</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidytontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Bonus Episodes Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BOLL &amp; BRANCH - </strong><a href="https://www.bollandbranch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.bollandbranch.com </strong></a><strong>(15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BETTER HELP -&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a><strong> (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p><strong>Merch Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>America’s Next Top Model Second Runner Up, Eugena Washington, steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Checking in from her home in Los Angeles, California, Eugenia is here to tell it all and she DOES - NOT - HOLD - BACK!&nbsp;One day, Eugena saw an “Apply Here” casting call on the CW Website for Cycle Seven of America’s Next Top Model. Always being called a Model in High School, she figured “why not” and sent her application in.&nbsp;That one click of a button led to an open casting call of over 2,000 Model Hopefuls. Over the course of two long days, those 2,000 were narrowed down to 50 and so on and so forth until Tyra Banks and The Executive Producers had their Cycle Seven cast chosen.&nbsp;Months later, she got the fateful call telling her to pack her bags and off to the infamous ANTM Model Apartment she went.&nbsp;As prepared as she thought she was, nothing could prepare Eugena for the reality of filming one of America’s notoriously most pressure filled reality shows. Pressure filled from the other models as well as pressure filled from Producers who Eugena is clear to point out, “were not our friends”.&nbsp;The 16 hour days with no sleep and cameras in your face the second you woke up certainly did not help at all.&nbsp;Eugena explains how she and the other Models were manipulated by Producers to bring the drama, how everything they said could and would be used against them, and how stressful the weekly eliminations were. Eugena also discusses famed Creative DIrector Jay Manuel as well as judges Janice Dickinson, Miss J, Nigel Barker and Twiggy.&nbsp;Finally, we discuss the woman, the myth, the diva, the legend, The One, The Only, Miss Tyra Banks! (Our Initial Chat with Eugena can be heard on out feed on July 13th, 2021)</p><br><p><br></p><p>@eugenawashington</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>BONUS EPISODES Available at&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BOLL &amp; BRANCH - </strong><a href="https://www.bollandbranch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.bollandbranch.com </strong></a><strong>(15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BETTER HELP -&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a><strong> (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by THIRDLOVE -&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.thirdlove.com/velvet</strong></a><strong> (20% Off First Purchase)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>MERCH AVAILABLE at - </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Alexis Neiers Haines steps Behind The Rope. If that name sounds familiar to you, it is probably because Alexis was one of the several teenagers who made up the “Bling Ring”, the infamous group of, rumored to be “fame obsessed”, teenagers who broke into several celebrities homes for clothes, shoes and other personal items.&nbsp;The celebrities whose homes were targeted included the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson and Orlando Bloom. Alexis opens up about that time in her life - not only the how, what, where and, most importantly, why of the “Bling Ring” but what was it like to be caught and serve time behind bars.&nbsp;Alexis has struggled with addiction most of her typing adult life.&nbsp;She is very open and honest in this chat about that addiction, particularly to heroin, her dark times, her road to recovery and what it is like to “come out the other side”.&nbsp;While all this was going on, Alexis and her sisters were filming the classic E reality show “Pretty Wild”, no pun intended. We chat with her about that Iconic one season wonder and what is was like to be arrested while the “cameras were rolling”.&nbsp;David and Alexis chat about the “reality”, or lack thereof, in Reality TV, her “Life Reset Course” to help pay forward all she has learned in recovery, and whether celebrities like Kim Kardashian are “doing enough” with their platform to help those in need.&nbsp;They also chat about Sophia Coppola’s 2013 film “The Bling Ring” in which Emma Watson played her and Paris Hilton, a good sport, played herself.

<p>DJ Richie Skye steps Behind The Rope. There is no one more connected in the DMV than Mr. Skye and we could not think of anyone better to help break down all that is going on this season on The Real Housewives of Potomac than Richie Skye. First things first, we chat about how we think our fav ladies are doing this season. We discuss the current lives of Gizelle, Karen, Ashley, Candiace, Robyn, Wendy and newbie Mia. We chat about Wendy’s glow up, the disappearance of the professor, "Zen Wen” and Mia coming in hot. We break down exactly what a "Hot Box” is, a “Sing Sing” is and how The Grand Dame seems to be pulling a Lu de Lesseps and finding the humor in it, and herself, all these seasons later. Has anyone seen The Grand Dame’s appearance on WWHL this season? The award for Most Comedic goes to… Richie also weighs in on whether Robyn has her own identity outside of Gizelle - something Gizelle read us here at The Rope for asking a few weeks back during out little chat. Speaking of Gizelle, we discuss whether she is truly the cause of all the drama as one half of The Green-Eyed Bandits or is she just a girl’s girl trying to help her fellow friends and frenemies. We chat about how RHOP feels much lighter this season and whether we miss Miss Monique Samuels. As far as ratings go, RHOP is on the rise. We chat about why it has taken so long for RHOP to find an audience and how, out of all the Housewives this year, it may be the true leader that has come out on top. Looking ahead, we chat about whether this is the right cast and discuss any changes we should make next year. Too soon? Tune in as Richie (host of “Reality Talk” on Youtube &amp; “Unfiltered” on Podcast One) helps us make sense of it all. #RHOP</p><br><p><br></p><p>@djrichieskye</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>LISTEN TO FULL EPISODE AT:&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/54577146" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/posts/54577146</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Princesses: Long Island's Amanda Bertoncini steps Behind The Rope. Amanda Bertoncini is here to tell it all.&nbsp;Princesses: Long Island. Where to begin? Amanda explains how the concept for the show came about, how it was “cast” and how it ultimately found its way, after a brief journey, to Bravo as it's home.&nbsp;Amanda explains what growing up on Long Island’s North Shore was really like and why the timing for a show like Princesses: Long Island seemed right.&nbsp;Amanda discusses the concept of the show, a series of young women out of college for a short period of time who end up living back with their parents in well to do enclaves of Long Island, New York. We discuss the difference between how the show was marketed, portrayed and perceived as a series of rich young entitled Long Islanders versus the reality of the struggles, both financially and emotionally, most of the cast were facing on and off camera in real life. Amanda also opens up about how hard it is to film a reality show with a bunch of other woman with similar personalities and how it is almost impossible for many of those friendships to survive the strains of Reality TV.&nbsp;Yes, Amanda had drama with many of her cast mates before, during and after the filming of Princesses.&nbsp;No discussion of Princesses: Long Island would be complete without the origins of the shows' name and how Amanda and the rest of the cast felt when they were told this would be the name of the series. We discuss how and why, despite Bravo being the perfect home for this show, it was cancelled after just one short season due in large part to the public outcry of the negative stereotypes the show portrayed of Jewish Women.&nbsp;Amanda and David discuss why they think it will always live on as one of the classic Bravo favorites of all time.&nbsp;Finally, back in a simpler BravoVerse, Bravolebrities had more direct access to “Boss Man” Andy Cohen, and we needed ALL of Amanda’s first hand experiences with the man, the myth, the legend.&nbsp;Of course, there is also that time her appearance on Watch What Happens Live was cancelled! Yup, true story.

<p>Princesses: Long Island's Amanda Bertoncini steps Behind The Rope. Amanda Bertoncini is here to tell it all.&nbsp;Princesses: Long Island. Where to begin? Amanda explains how the concept for the show came about, how it was “cast” and how it ultimately found its way, after a brief journey, to Bravo as it's home.&nbsp;Amanda explains what growing up on Long Island’s North Shore was really like and why the timing for a show like Princesses: Long Island seemed right.&nbsp;Amanda discusses the concept of the show, a series of young women out of college for a short period of time who end up living back with their parents in well to do enclaves of Long Island, New York. We discuss the difference between how the show was marketed, portrayed and perceived as a series of rich young entitled Long Islanders versus the reality of the struggles, both financially and emotionally, most of the cast were facing on and off camera in real life. Amanda also opens up about how hard it is to film a reality show with a bunch of other woman with similar personalities and how it is almost impossible for many of those friendships to survive the strains of Reality TV.&nbsp;Yes, Amanda had drama with many of her cast mates before, during and after the filming of Princesses.&nbsp;No discussion of Princesses: Long Island would be complete without the origins of the shows' name and how Amanda and the rest of the cast felt when they were told this would be the name of the series. We discuss how and why, despite Bravo being the perfect home for this show, it was cancelled after just one short season due in large part to the public outcry of the negative stereotypes the show portrayed of Jewish Women.&nbsp;Amanda and David discuss why they think it will always live on as one of the classic Bravo favorites of all time.&nbsp;Finally, back in a simpler BravoVerse, Bravolebrities had more direct access to “Boss Man” Andy Cohen, and we needed ALL of Amanda’s first hand experiences with the man, the myth, the legend.&nbsp;Of course, there is also that time her appearance on Watch What Happens Live was cancelled! Yup, true story.

<p>Barbara Kavovit steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Ok, you can call her Barbara K., as she is best known from her time on The Real Housewives of New York City. Joining us to help Barb break it all down from her time on RHONY is the first ever Behind The Velvet Rope Co-Host, Ms. Elyse Slaine. Elyse has appeared on Behind The Velvet Rope so many times at this point, we figured it was only appropriate to bestow upon her the much sought after coveted Co-Host title. It’s a RHONY “Friend Of” Extravaganza!! Taking her Co-Host duties very seriously, Elyse helps us chat with Barb about her upbringing as “Barbie from the Bronx” where her love of construction began, what it was like “back in the day” as a woman to enter a male dominated field, being hired to demolish Harvey Weinstein’s old office, her run for Mayor of NYC, and future political aspirations.&nbsp;We then turn the tables and chat with both Elyse and Barbara about the origins of their friendship, their respective experiences on RHONY, the ups and downs with various cast members such as Dorinda, Ramona, Luann, Bethenny and Sonja, and the status of each of those relationships today. We also chat with Elyse about her friendship with current “Friend Of” Bershan Shaw, contemplate Bershan’s likelihood of returning as this current season of RHONY chugs along and discuss the epic night in The Hamptons Barb recently had with Eboni K. Williams. Speaking of the Hamptons, this episode is coming to you on location from Ms. Slaine’s Southhampton Estate!&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><p>@msbarbarak</p><p>@elyseslaine</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Bonus Episodes Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by NOOM -&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://www.noom.com/VELVET" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.noom.com/VELVET</strong></a><strong> (Sign Up for Your Trial Today)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BETTER HELP -&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a><strong> (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p><strong>Merch Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Baylee Littrell steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;If that last name sounds familiar to you, that is because his Dad is one of the members of the Iconic Backstreet Boys.&nbsp;There is much more to Baylee though than his famous last name.&nbsp;Baylee knew from a young age music was in his blood.&nbsp;He started writing songs in his pre-teen years and made his Broadway debut at the young age of thirteen in “Disaster”. Baylee’s biggest musical influences are Tim McGraw, John Mayer and Florida Georgia Line.&nbsp;Baylee’s debut album, 770-Country, was released to rave reviews, the latest single “Some Guys” which just dropped.&nbsp;Baylee performed the majority of this album as an opening act for The Backstreet Boys on the North American leg of their sold out DNA World Tour. We chat life about what life on the road with one of the most Iconic Boy Bands in history is like and celeb run ins with the likes of Donnie Wahlberg, DJ Pauly D. and Keith Urban. We kiki with Baylee about the process of writing an album at such a young age, what his inspirations were for 770-Country, playing to sold out arenas night after night, life on the road, exactly what advice his Backstreet Boy Dad provided about the business, whether he would ever make a pop record a la The Backstreet Boys, and just what is next for this young musician already on his way to a career to rival his Dad’s. &nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><p>@bayleelittrell_music</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Bonus Episodes Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by NOOM -&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://www.noom.com/VELVET" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.noom.com/VELVET</strong></a><strong> (Sign Up for Your Trial Today)</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Brought to you by BETTER HELP -&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope</strong></a><strong> (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")</strong></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><br><p><strong>Merch Available at - </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
