<p>"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps back Behind The Rope.&nbsp;We continue our conversation right where we left off (Part I of our sit down aired October 13th, 2020) discussing all things Paris.&nbsp;Alexandra lets us know the challenges of making a behind the scenes film while following Paris around the world to mass chaos and mayhem from Paris’ “Little Hiltons”. We discuss whether the psychological abuse and trauma that Paris endured from the Provo Canyon School was originally intended to be a part of the film.&nbsp;Alexandra explains how she got Paris to open up regarding this abuse, an issue which she has never publicly discussed prior to “This is Paris”.&nbsp;Alexandra discusses the involvement of both Kathy and Nicky Hilton Rothschild in the film and the noted absence of Rick Hilton.&nbsp;We also discuss the cameos from Kim Kardashian and Kyle Richards and why both of those women were necessary for this film.&nbsp;Alexandra fills us in on “secret” lost footage scenes that never made the film. On a more serious note, we discuss how this film was probably the best therapy Paris could have received for her childhood trauma and how Alexandra noticed a completely changed Paris by the end of their time working together.&nbsp;Finally, Paris and Alexandra are dedicated to the “Breaking Code Silence” cause which they are both actively involved in today.&nbsp;Tune in as our chat with “This is Paris” director Alexandra Dean concludes.</p><br><p>@alexdeandirector</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </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>Rachel Bradshaw, from the new E show "The Bradshaw Brunch", steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Let’s start at the beginning.&nbsp;Rachel talks about what it was like to grow up with an NFL Legend as a father and how boys would react when they found out Terry Bradshaw was her Dad.&nbsp;She also explains the first time she realized her Dad was a public figure and how, although there were many perks that came along with that, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses.&nbsp;Being a huge Reality TV fan, Rachel and David dissect some of their favorites - Laguna Beach, The Hills, The Simple Life and last, but certainly not least, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.&nbsp;Speaking of Reality TV, Rachel discusses where the idea for The Bradshaw Bunch came from, the road to the E Network, what filming was like, and what it is like to now watch herself and her family on TV each week.&nbsp;She also discusses how her Dad reacts when viewers actually now want her picture as well as his.&nbsp;We also deep dive into Rachel’s booming music career and her newly released single, “Wild Horse”.&nbsp;Take a listen, it’s good.&nbsp;Of course, there was that one time she ran into Cher, yes Cher, with her famous Dad. Do tell. She does. Thanks for stopping by Rachel.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@racheltbradshaw</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at&nbsp;<strong> </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>Kathryn Edwards continues our chat regarding this past season of RHOBH and the Denise / Teddi exits. (Part I aired October 1st, 2020).&nbsp;Kathryn wastes no time in bringing up the fallout of a true many decade long friendship between Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards.&nbsp;We discuss what happens when making a great TV show is more important to a Housewife than a real life friendship and is it worth it?&nbsp;This leads to a discussion of which of the RHOBH cast are real life friends versus working colleagues. Speaking of Denise, we bring up her “hook up” with Brandi Glanville and discuss whether Kathryn thinks that really happened, why Brandi - considering her past track record of being a “tell all", the involvement of Producers to tell that “story”, the aftermath of what we saw unfold all season on RHOBH, and whether Brandi deserves a diamond. We dive into deeper issues such as the continued pressure by Producers to always bring the drama and storyline in fear of losing your job and corresponding big paycheck.&nbsp;Kathryn also discusses how nothing is off limits if you sign up for a reality show and how all the skeletons will ultimately come out of the closet. Kathryn discusses several actresses who she personally knows as potential diamond holders for next season - Nicolette Sheridan, Vivica A. Fox, Heather Locklear, Jennie Garth LaToya Jackson - as well as the rumored favored Kathy Hilton, and predicts the likelihood of each of those happening and how successful each would be in the “role”.&nbsp;Kathryn also discusses how she feels Garcelle will fare in her sophomore season sans Denise and discusses Denise's decision to walk away after just two seasons. Finally, we get into the Reunion, the good, the bad, the other bad and discuss how each of the women handled themselves during it.&nbsp;Tune in as our sit down with Kathryn Edwards concludes.</p><br><p>@katedwards8</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </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>We sat down with Kathryn Edwards a few weeks back for an exclusive, two part, tell all interview (Part I 9/9/20; Part II 9/16/20).&nbsp;That interview caused a Twitter frenzy involving both Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer.&nbsp;Kathryn stops by to chat about the aftermath of that interview and the resulting twitter frenzy.&nbsp;Kathryn stands by what she said and talks about her current relationships with LVP, Erika, Kyle, Camille and the rest of our favorite RHOBH.&nbsp;Hey Kathryn, while we have you, wanna chat about this past season of RHOBH? She does. We react to the news of Teddi Mellencamp being let go, discuss why it is so hard for most Housewives to admit they were terminated and discuss Kathryn’s thoughts on Teddi, answering the question, was she really as “ boring” as the general public thinks? Kathryn also discusses her thoughts on newbies Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke.&nbsp;We dissect who had a good season and who had a rough season amongst Dorit, Rinna, Kyle, and Erika and who would be the next on the chopping block if additional cuts were to be made.&nbsp;Speaking of Rinna, Kathryn explains how the Rinna she now sees on RHOBH is not the Rinna she has known for many many years leading to a larger conversation of what happens when real life and “the show” lines start to blur. On a larger scale, David and Kathryn discuss what it takes to make a good Housewife, how “Career Housewives” all start to self produce, and what happens when the show becomes more important than real world happiness.&nbsp;These topics get Kathryn to reflect on her own short time on the show, does she think she herself was a good Housewife? Kathryn also opens up about the PTSD she felt once off the show due to the feeling of cameras - there were none - always watching her and whether she would ever go back - if you listened to our first two chats - well - you know the answer to this.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@katedwards8</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by "Going to Bed With Garcelle" <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-to-bed-with-garcelle/id1509776802" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-to-bed-with-garcelle/id1509776802</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </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>Blatantly absent from the just aired #RHONY reunion, Elyse Slaine breaks her silence here today.&nbsp;Elyse tells all about the evolution of her friendship with Ramona which began way before this current season of The Real Housewives of New York.&nbsp;She finally sets the record straight with exactly how she was “brought” onto the show and how “welcome” she felt from the other RHONY women (hint: not so much).&nbsp;Elyse details her past relationships with Sonja, Dorinda, and LuAnne and gives specific examples to debunk the constant claim that Ramona “introduced” her to this group. Elyse explains the on and OFF camera events which she believes led to the beginning of the end of her friendship with The Singer Stinger during the past year.&nbsp;Elyse explains what filming and real life - her and Ramona share the same “friend group” - on the Upper East Side and The Hamptons was like once Ramona decided to break up with her.&nbsp;Elyse provided a specific timeline of events to help us understand just what went down. The more she talked, the more questions The Rope had.&nbsp;This is an episode not to be missed!!!!</p><br><p>@elyseslaine</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.everyplate.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.everyplate.com</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong> (code velvet3)</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </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>The Real Housewives of New York City’s Kristen Taekman steps Behind The Rope. Checking in from beautiful Connecticut, Kristen is here to tell it all. First we catch up with Kirsten on the current status of her Fashion Blogging and fashion trends we can all expect in the world as it exists today. Ok, now onto what everyone wants to talk about, RHONY.&nbsp;We discuss Kristen’s thoughts on RHONY before being cast, what her casting process was like and how she feels she was edited for the two seasons she was on the hit Bravo show.&nbsp;Kristen discusses Bethenny and what watching the show without her is like. Speaking of Bethenny, Kristen’s children go to the same school as Bryn and she tells us about several Bethenny, and Jason Hoppy (whaaaat?), sightings during school events. We also discuss her friendship with RHONY Housewives past such as Jill Zarin and Heather Thomson.&nbsp;Kristen also shares her thoughts on current RHONY cast members, her being a huge Leah McSweeney fan, and, having both seen her cabaret, Kristen and David discuss the joy that is Countess and Friends.&nbsp;Also, let us not forget that both Kristen and David were at the Hamptons party last summer that Ramona pushed Gizelle out of the picture at so they recount that fateful day, the before, during and shocking after.&nbsp;Speaking of Ramona. Kristen responds to Ramona’s statements several weeks back about her and former RHONY Cindy Barshop being “nobodies”. Do tell!!!&nbsp;On a larger scale, we discuss the growing presence of alcohol on RHONY and whether it is time for a cast shake up.&nbsp;Let us not forget one of Kristen’s IRL BFFS is Brandi Glanville!! We discuss what Kristen was told first hand from Brandi and how she feels watching it all unfold each week on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Talk about an episode not to be missed.
