James Kennedy’s Arrest, Ally’s Conflicting Statements, Doute & Leviss’ Thoughts & Remaining VPR Cast “Reacts"

James Kennedy was arrested last week after Kathy Hilton’s Xmas party.  So much has happened leading up to this arrest, during this arrest and since this arrest. Today we break it all down - Kathy’s Christmas party, what really happened at home between Ally and James after, the neighbor who called the police, the police report claiming Mr. Kennedy “threw” Ms. Lewber to the ground and the charges filed against James. Next we discuss Kristen Doute and Rachel Leviss’ past romantic relationships with James, their statements after James’ arrest and last, but certainly not least, Rachel Leviss’ attorneys’ claim that Evolution and Bravo not only knew, but also tried to cover up James’ known, erratic, explosive behavior throughout the years he was a cast member on Vanderpump Rules.  Finally, we discuss what would a VPR OG show be like if it were currently filming now in real time, whether this would have cost James his VPR job if he were not already fired and the rest of the cast and LVP's opinions, statements and thoughts about James’ arrest.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Margaret Josephs/ Dorinda Medley Feud Heats Up, Jen Shah's Husband/ Monica Garcia Affair Exposed & Melissa Gorga Hits Back

A few weeks ago we discussed Margaret Josephs and Dorinda Medley’s new rumored feud which started on Jeff Lewis Live.  Today we share updates on this feud, separate fact from fiction, address the rumors that poor ticket sales led to the cancellation of their live show, reference our previous discussion on this matter, discuss Teresa’s narrative that it is all Marge’s fault and analyze just how severe this feud is and what happens next for these once friends. Jennifer Aydin keeps acting out trying to avoid the inevitable alleged end of her RHONJ future. Melissa Gorga claps back at Kiki Barth explaining, with the help of Joey G, all the many reasons she has a gazillion followers. Heather Gay claims Monica Garcia told her she tried to kiss Sharrieff Shah in a parking lot gas station - only in Utah, was pinning after him for years, had an affair and so much more as Monica, Sharrieff and Jen Shah - from prison - strongly deny any and all of Ms. Gay’s allegations. Finally, we share updates on the pause and return, if ever, of RHONJ and next potential seasons of RHONY and Vanderpump Rules.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Kathryn got one thing wrong: Tom Girardi wasn't the character portrayed by Albert Finney in Erin Brochovich but rather Peter Coyote's city lawyer character.
