<blockquote>David sits down RHOA’s Yovanna (no last name needed but for your reference it is Momplaisir).&nbsp;Originally from San Franciso, Yovanna eventually settled in the ATL after winning an essay writing contest with her family (don’t ask, just listen).&nbsp;Being younger than the current cast (no shade, it's a fact), Yovanna never really watched RHOA before finding herself in front of the camera at Nene’s Boobs and Bourbon party in Season 11.&nbsp;Flash forward to the current season, Yovanna has been ba-ring-ing it. Of course, no sit down with Yovanna would be complete without a deep dive into Snake Gate. Nor would it be complete without an analysis of her friendship with Nene. What is the status of that friendship today? Is Yovanna the snake? Why does the world think she is? How are things between her and Cynthia today? So many questions, so little time. Tune in to to hear a no holds bar, totally honest chat with the woman herself, Miss Yovanna M.</blockquote><blockquote>@yovannamomplaisir @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong>&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><p>Merch Available at&nbsp;<strong>-&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</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>After making her mark this past week during a much heated discussion with Sonja Morgan (“I was never a trophy wife”), Elyse Slaine comes all the way downtown for a chat about all things Elyse and RHONY.&nbsp;From her humble beginnings in Brooklyn, Elyse settled in NYC’s UES shortly after school and began a career in Mortgaged Back Securities and Financial Trading (yes, she is smart). Elyse sets the record straight about her google rich past - palatial apartments, hedge fund honcho ex-boyfriends and feisty housekeepers.&nbsp;Despite what you may have read in the press, hear the real story directly from Elyse herself.&nbsp;Of course, all roads lead back to RHONY.&nbsp;Elyse tells us how she was cast (by accident folks), her relationships with Apple holders past (Jill, Bethenny, Heather, Aviva), present (Dorinda, Sonja,&nbsp;Leah) and how she feels about her Moniker, “Ramona’s Friend”.&nbsp;Take a bite out of that apple and listen in.</p><p>(@elyseslaine @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef)</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong>&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>Merch Available at&nbsp;<strong>-&nbsp;</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>

There was also an almost&nbsp;Cynthia Bailey sighting (yup, almost).&nbsp;Oh, did we&nbsp;mention Soneca was&nbsp;backstage in the green room at BravoCon’s WWHL?

Back in a simpler time, David used to roam the NYC streets & doing the “lords work”. With the new season of Vanderpump Rules back, he was lucky enough to have both of Pump’s Queens in NYC, Kirsten Doute (Queen 1) and Scheana Shay (Queen 2), back to back.&nbsp;Two days later, David runs into, who else, The Singer Stinger (NYC’s Upper East Side is really smaller than you think).&nbsp;With the new season of #RHONY back in full swing, David figured it was a good time to recount the end of last years’&nbsp;Countess &amp; Friends shows and all the guest appearances - Teresa Giudice, The Gorgas, Margaret Josephs, Marge Sr., Aydin - that went along with them.&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</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>On the heels of her departure announcement from the franchise, David sits down with Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Executive Producer Dorothy Toran. From her beginnings in Liberia, Africa, to growing up in New York, to her career before #RHONJ (Oprah, The Obamas and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson), David and Dorothy cover it all. Obviously all roads lead to Bravo and for Dorothy that meant Manzo'd with Children, her entree into the network. When that show came to an end, Dorothy was called in to helm the reigns of #RHONJ in a pivotal season of helping welcome Teresa home. David gets most of his "fangirl" questions answered (you can't force an EP to answer anything she doesn't want to) before signing off. Thank you Dorothy for making some amazing, salacious, entertaining, heartwarming, juicy, over the top, real, poignant, relevant, captivating TV. Best of luck in your future endeavors!!</p><br><p> @behindvelvetrope</p><br><p><a href=" https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</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>

In honor of RHONJ finale week (yes guys its over after this week and then we can move onto other topics), David welcomes Emmy Award Winning TV Producer, and Super Fan Listener, "Just Joan" Behind The Rope.

<p>David sits down with Stephen McGee from Bravo’s Summer House.&nbsp;Stephen explains what filming Summer House was like, answering questions such as what is real versus not real and how “involved" the producers are in the editing of the show.

Finally David cannot control himself when hearing about Stephen's friendships with fellow Bravolebrities Kristen Doute, LeeAnne Locken, Jill Zarin, Vicki Gunvalson, Juliet Angus, Stassi no last name needed, Lauren Wirkus, and last, but certainly not least, Jax &amp; Brittany.
