Jackie Siegel steps Behind The Rope. Jackie Siegel from the infamous, before its time, Reality Documentary “The Queen of Versailles”. We chat with Jackie about her “rags to riches” story of getting and falling in love with her now husband David. That “rags to riches” story included their decision to build the largest, at that time, private residence house in the United States of America, aptly deemed “Versailles”. What does one do when building the largest private residence? Why, hire a film crew to document the whole event. Duh, obvi. The result was 2012 Sundance Film Festival US Best Directing Award and Critics’ Choice Award Best Documentary Nominee “The Queen of Versailles”. What started out as a film documenting the construction on this residence and the fun lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous Siegels, turned in to somewhat of an expose of extreme wealth in the face of the unexpected economic crisis the country was facing during filming. “Expose” is not an understatement considering husband David’s lawsuit against the finished product. Jackie is forthcoming about all and her early days in the “reality” space. Speaking of reality, Jackie is friends with many a Real Housewife and we discuss some of her friends. We also discuss her desire to join the Real Housewives franchise, her past application to RHONY, her past rejection from RHONY, and her possible involvement in The Real Housewives of Miami. Jackie also pulls back the layers of what it is like to be a guest on Below Deck and the one thing Beck Deck Producers told her was off limits. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Jackie Siegel.  @therealqueenofversailles @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONESKIN - oneskin.co (Get 15% Off With the Code VELVET This Skincare Which Targets The Root Causes of Aging) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.

RHONJ is not even back on the air yet and so much is already going on, again, behind the scenes.  DMs and videos have surfaced of Louie Ruelas coming for Marge and her rumored Walmart deal, Melissa weighs in and Marge prepares to clap back.  Speaking of Louie, he launched his new biz venture last week right here in our very own sunny LA.  We break down the new biz, Vinivia -  you are welcome Louie for the free plug we normally charge for, discuss the launch party and ask the obvious, is Tre paying for all this? Melissa Gorga sees a ghost, Dolo takes center stage, Rachel Fuda crops Tre outta the cast pic, John Fuda engages with fans, we apologize and wonder, with Tre and Mel not speaking at all, is RHONJ headed for a complete overhaul after this season.
