Kathy Hilton pleads the fifth to Daddy Cohen’s shady questions, Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix head to court to face off against Chef Penny, the TreHuggers come out, unite and support their Queen Teresa Giudice and last, but certainly not least, Craig and Paige address those constant “break up” rumors which just do not seem to be dying down.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  MANSCAPED - manscaped.com (Use Code Velvet For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on The Chairman™ Pro Package) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) SHIPSKIS - www.shipskis.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Your First Shipment Of Your Ski / Snowboard Equipment To Make Ski / Winter Travel Easier) LOLAVIE - lolavie.com (Celebrate The Holidays With Stronger Healthier Hair With An Exclusive 15% Off Your Entire Order With Code VELVET15) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Shop The Holiday Sale To Save 20% Sitewide and Support The Show By mentioning That BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE Sent You In Your Post-Checkout Survey!

Tom Sandoval is ending his already not so great year in a not so great way - let go from Vanderpump Rules along with all other OGs, the closing of Schwartz and Sandy’s after a rocky run and more. We chat about the year of Sandoval, share updates on his relationship with model Victoria Lee Robinson and what we can expect from The Most Extras “most extra” front man as he prepares for a 2025 which will ultimately see him facing off, sans attorney, in court against Rachel Leviss. Despite many claims that she could be faking it for a storyline, Dorit rises to the RHOBH occasion, finds her voice, carries the season - so far and makes moves to prepare for the rest of the season and an upcoming year in which she is bound to experience many “firsts”.  Teddi, who has been very judgmental of others’ affairs, relationships and mess ups, seems to be the target of a lot of on line trolling, is being mentioned on RHOBH more than when she was on the show and has been sending mixed messages about Kyle, Edwin and the horse trainer which leaves many wondering wtf is really going on. Finally, Bethenny Frankel has a new message for Kelly Bensimon, flaunts her new man Tom even more than before and tries to balance the holidays, work, motherhood and romance as she closes out the year with a bang.  All this and more as we are joined by the one and only Psychic Leota from The Psychic Source.

Speaking of Bravolebrities, James talks about some of his Housewife Friends and encounters including, but certainly not limited to, Tinsley Mortimer, Dorinda Medley, Countess Luann and Bethenny Frankel who he explains has “won” Housewives. He talks working for and pitching a than coupled up Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, Kristen Doute, Bobby Berk, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell, Lady Gaga and Patricia Arquette. With all the talk about the return of Jeff Lewis’ Flipping Out 2.0, London Housewives and a possible Shahs of Sunset 2.0 which Reza hinted at recently, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat about this much missed Bravo show. Tune in now.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 3.  We have a cast trip ladies and gentlemen and it is being planned by the one and only Miss Kathy Hilton. Personalized suitcases, butlers and caviar galore, childhood nursery rhymes and one activated Dorit, this episode has it all. We break it all down discussing all the underlying reasons for Dorit and Kyle’s feud, check in with newbies Boz and rich af Tilly, Erika being caught in the middle and thrown under the bus all at the same time - fear not she has a brand new Porsche, Sutton and Garcelle feeling left out, a few mentions of the one and only Teddi Mellencamp - which yes, must have her over the moon and this explosive, fun ep ending with Dorit letting Kyle know that, no, it is time for her to F’ing listen.  Off air, Jeff Lewis stirs the pot by dropping explosive Dorit gossip, PK and Dorit explain more details behind their separation, Kyle drops hints of new feuds, Kathy avoids tough questions from Andy and oh so much more in Bev Hills land. In other news, Jennifer Aydin acts out, announces a Podcast and Andy declares that we will know nothing about any potential RHONJ return for a very, very long time.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.
