<p>A few weeks ago (on September 15th, 2020) we sat down with one of Sonja Morgan's Ex-Interns, Meghan Hubert. We talked about what it is like to work as one of Miss Morgan's interns, a highly sought after coveted position in our most Bravo of Worlds.&nbsp;Although David and Meghan, had a great chat about the iconic position of Intern, Sonja Morgan, not everyone enjoyed the chat as much as the Behind The Velvet Rope listeners. One such person was Sonja. Meghan is back to talk about the fallout from that sit down. Plus, we discuss these just concluded Reunions / Seasons of RHONY and RHOBH, the good, the bad, the other. All this plus more on our latest just released Patreon episode out this weekend.&nbsp;Link Below:</p><br><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</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>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>

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.

<p>Janine and Dom Detore Step Behind The Rope. Checking in from their home in Staten Island, New York, Janine and Dom are here to tell it all. The world probably know’s Janine best as “Big Ang's Sister”, from the hit VH1 TV show Mob Wives.&nbsp;Janine is here to shed light on what Big Ang was really like off camera. News flash, she is the same as the Big Ang, Angela Raiola, we grew to love on our TV screens each week on Mob Wives, Miami Monkey, Big Ang, Celebrity Wife Swap and so many more. However there is more to Big Ang than that.&nbsp;A devoted Mother, Daughter, Sister, Janine tells The Rope how there is nothing Big Ang wouldn’t do for her family or friends. Loyal to the core. We talk about life in Staten Island before, during and after Mob Wives and some of Big Ang’s costars such as Drita D’Avanzo, whom Janine keeps in touch with. We also discuss the reality shows Janine and Dom have appeared on such as Staten Island Hustle and Big Ang, when VH1 gave her sister her own show.&nbsp;Janine shares personal stories with us like Big Ang’s close friendship with Whoopi Goldberg. Say what??? Finally, Janine gives us all the details of the book she is writing about her Sister's life and legacy, coming soon, but of course still won't divulge the secret recipe for her famous meatballs.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@janinedetore</p><p>@uncledomdetore</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - <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 - <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>Sarah McSweeney steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Yes, Sister of The Real Housewives of New York City’s Leah McSweeney.&nbsp;That Sarah McSweeney.&nbsp;As seen this past season alongside her sister on Season 12 of RHONY. Checking in from her parent’s home in gorgeous Connecticut, Sarah takes time off from being a mom to chat with The Rope.&nbsp;Originally from Chelsea, NYC (yea Chelsea!!), Sarah fell into modeling at a very young age while working various food and restaurant jobs in the heart of downtown New York City.&nbsp;Sarah opens up about her initial reaction to sister Leah being cast on the hit Bravo show and what it was like to watch Leah each week, and her own guest appearances, this past season.&nbsp;We discuss how she truly feels about Leah's colleagues Dorinda, Luann, Sonja, and last, but certainly not least, Ramona.&nbsp;Of course we discuss that fateful Newport, Rhode Island weekend and how the girls treated her in person - the bad, the good and the bad.&nbsp;We dive deep into what watching the “night before” was like compared to how Leah described it to her IRL.&nbsp;On a larger scale, both being New Yorkers, Sarah and David discuss how NYC is much more than a 5 block radius on the Upper East Side and whether it is time to mix things up regarding the cast to represent a more accurate representation of what NYC is really all about. Sarah discusses her relationship with sister Leah and pays homage Tinsley Mortimer and Elyse Slaine, let us not forget they were part of this past season as well.&nbsp;Finally, we discuss Sarah’s other Bravo favorites Bethenny Frankel, Kate Chastain, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga as well as just how wonderful a place Spa 88 really is.&nbsp;Grab your apple and listen in!</p><br><p>@lilmcsweeney</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available On Patreon - <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>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards steps back Behind The Rope (Part I of our sit down with Kathryn aired September 9th, 2020).&nbsp;Kathryn gets right into it by talking about her first day of filming when, within minutes, Rinna brought up her past ties to OJ.&nbsp;Kathryn opens up about what we saw on RHOBH regarding her relationships with Kyle Richards and Faye Resnick versus the status of those relationships in the real world.&nbsp;She also explains how those past relationships probably affected her on-screen friendships and her time on RHOBH.&nbsp;Kathryn opens up about how she would have done things differently if she were to go back and what those things are.&nbsp;She gives us her opinion on who she thinks is authentic from RHOBH casts past and present and who “acts” for the cameras. We discuss what, if anything, is too private to show on a reality show and discuss the current season of RHOBH.&nbsp;Kathryn discusses whether she thinks Denise really hooked up with Brandi Glanville and what she has heard from being “on the scene” in Beverly Hills.&nbsp;Finally we discuss that fateful night when she was on WWHL and Andy Cohen asked her, point blank, did OJ do it?&nbsp;Kathryn explains the details of that night, how she felt as a result of that question and what her current relationship with Andy Cohen is like today. Tune in as our sit down with Kathryn Edwards continues and 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><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>DailyMailTV’s Senior News Correspondent, Alicia Quarles, steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Of course, we address those Real Housewives of New York rumors. Oh c’mon, you know those rumors you have seen all over the internet about Alicia possibly joining the cast of RHONY next season. She is friends with them all from RHONY’s current cast LuAnn, Sonja, Ramona and casts’ past, Bethenny Frankel and Tinsley Mortimer and is kind enough to entertain our many questions.&nbsp;We also address Dorinda’s exit and David explains why he hopes those RHONY rumors are really true for Alicia. Alicia, who always knew from a young age journalism was her true calling, ended up in New York City at a young age to pursue her dreams.&nbsp;As a Senior News Correspondent, we dish on the new season of DailyMailTV and new host Thomas Roberts.&nbsp;We address one of the hottest topics of the month (Other than Alicia’s RHONY cast rumors, of course), the end of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Alicia’s take on the matter seeing as she has interviewed the famous family before. Speaking of interviews, Alicia has interviewed them all and we get her hot takes on some of our favs: Queen Madonna, Beyonce, JLo, Martha Stewart, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Lenny Kravitz and Penelope Cruz, to name a few. We discuss the differences between interviewing “Movie Stars” and “Reality Stars” and the challenges and benefits of working in the entertainment industry.&nbsp;Being a true fashion lover, we discuss that one time Alicia wore that same ROTATE “Pink Dress” that Rinna and Erika Jayne love so much (Who wore it best?) and what it is like to cover the Met Ball, among other Awards Show's Red Carpets. Tune in now for this fun time and see, do we finally answer those RHONY rumors?</p><br><p>@alicialquarles</p><p>@dailymailtv</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><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 Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Originally from Wisconsin (didn't see that one coming), Kathryn left home at a young age to pursue modeling in Paris, before eventually settling in the famous zip code we have all come to love.&nbsp;Kathryn discusses how she was cast for Season Six of RHOBH and who she knew before the show.&nbsp;We discuss RHOBH Housewives past - Yolanda Hadid and Eden Sassoon and present such as Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne.&nbsp;We discuss the influx of actresses to the franchise - Garcelle Beauvais, Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards - and ultimately whether that is a good fit or not. Of course, we also discuss whether Denise really hooked up with Brandi Glanville and what Kathryn knows from being “on the scene” in Beverly Hills.&nbsp;This leads to a larger conversation of what should be included in a reality show, and what, if anything, should be off limits, the influence of producers behind the scenes and the magic of editing.&nbsp;Kathryn recounts her own time on RHOBH, the involvement of production, the edit she received, being thrown into day one middle of the season, and her colleagues she had to work with.&nbsp;She explains her past with Faye Resnick (Kyle Richards’ BFF), OJ Simpson, Robert Kardashian, that famous White Bronco&nbsp;and how that possibly affected the decision to cast her.&nbsp;Finally we discuss the involvement of Lisa’s Vanderpump and Rinna in helping “guide” storylines and just how did Season Six become all about Munchausen’s Syndrome. All this and we are only getting started.

<p>Silvio Berlusconi&nbsp;​was a charismatic multi-millionaire real-estate mogul who upended the Italian political order and hypnotized an entire nation.
