    Gretchen's Fear of Tamra, Top Attorney Warns Bravo Over Jax & Kristen Doute / Tom Sandoval Reunite
    Jul 9 2025
    RHOC is back in our lives tomorrow and all of our fav Orange Holders have been spilling the tea all over town. Emily Simpson puts Gretchen in her place explaining to her, and us, that she is, in fact, afraid of one Miss Tamara Judge. Gretchen claps back and has a few words for Ms. Simpson of her own. Tamra is angry…again. A Top Attorney warns Bravo of their legal exposure, with many reasons and examples, that could result in litigation if they do not let Mr. Jax Taylor go. Here we go again… Kristen Doute and Tom Sandoval reunite, and it feels, kinda good as Sandy moves one step closer to signing a contract for The Valley Season Three. The truth behind Kelly Dodd’s breakdowns are exposed as are Jeff Lewis’ break ups and make ups. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trudiagnostic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) RO - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ro.co/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rakuten.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

  • Bravo's Regrets Over Teresa, The Toms Head To The Valley & Sutton's Hard Upcoming RHOBH Season (w/ Patrik & Pol)

    Bravo's Regrets Over Teresa, The Toms Head To The Valley & Sutton's Hard Upcoming RHOBH Season (w/ Patrik & Pol)
    Jul 8 2025
    Bravo has some regrets about the power they gave Teresa through all these years which has now led to an RHONJ future which is still, at best, uncertain. Bravo continues to attempt to figure out the mess they have gotten into regarding RHONJ’s future with various initial solutions presented. Speaking of RHONJ, Juicy Joe has a new set of problems.Tom Sandoval’s year of redemption continues with a now viral appearance on America's Got Talent, fan approval and what appears to be a next season full time role on The Valley along with his buddy Schwartzy. Speaking of The Valley, major cast changes are going to happen with new hires, fan favs fired and last, but certainly not least, the Jax of it all. Finally, new Housewife and Podcast feuds emerge, Sutton Stracke buckles up for a difficult RHOBH Season and RHOC returns with a bang, a new villain and a Tamra who is in rare form and ready to rumble. The Chumps themselves, Patrik and Pol, return to dish it all! @patriksimpson @polatteu @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) RO - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ro.co/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rakuten.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

..this unhinged rant about bethenny. It was unpleasant to listen to.... Mean spirited... Not at all fun or even interesting. She lost the plot...really, the focus should be on the fact that money is being raised for an excellent cause. A podcast is not an excuse to rant and rave like a moron. Also learn the facts. We are not in a recession. Economy is stronger and than it has been in a long time. This episode...No bUeno. tell her to stop watching so much Faux News. I actually couldn't get all the way through this rant.

Please spare us..
