    JENNY HUTT (on Childhood Friend Bethenny Frankel, RHONY, Being Interviewed by Howard Stern & Grey's Anatomy)
    Jun 15 2025
    Jenny Hutt steps back Behind The Rope. Jenny is here to mention it all none the least of which is her Long Island, NY childhood friend, Bethenny Frankel. Jenny enlightens us as to what Bethenny was like in college and how, even way back when, she was determined to know and have it all. With so much ado about B’s move to Florida, we figure today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jenny Hutt. Jenny reminisces some of the Icons she has interviewed over the years such as Dolly Parton and chats highs and low from her time at Sirius. Jenny opens up about the start of her career when she hosted a radio show with Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis, her TV Show on the Hallmark Chanel of the same name and everything and anything in between. Jenny also chats about what it was like to not only work at Sirius when The King of All Media Howard Stern started there but to have been interviewed by Howard on The Howard Stern Show. In other pop culture news, we chat Grey’s Anatomy, interviewing Lea Michele, ShaondaLand and oh so much more. ⁠@justjennyhutt⁠ ⁠@behindvelvetrope⁠ ⁠@davidyontef⁠ BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ⁠⁠ro.co/velvet⁠⁠ (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) RAKUTEN - ⁠⁠rakuten.com⁠⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!

    Gretchen Accuses Tamra Of Cheating on Eddie, Shannon Breaks Down & PK Packs on PDA w/ New London Housewife
    Jun 14 2025
    The RHOC Trailer has dropped and we are here for it. Gretchen accuses Tamra of cheating on Eddie, Slade appears, Emily and Shane are in danger of divorce, Heather wants to be on RHOBH, someone is a snake, lie detector tests are involved and Shannon seems happy before she breaks down and claims someone is up to illegal activity. PK is out and about oversees packing on the PDA with Amanda Cronin, one of the new Real Housewives of London. Monique returns to RHOP despite swearing she never would. As we head into the finale of Love Hotel, the drama heats up as Luann gets angry, multiple men threaten to quit, Ashley gets more confused by the day, Gizelle plays coy and Shannon reveals a little too much behind the scenes both on and off camera. In other news, Ramona Singer has some shocking unexpected news, Brit Eady’s $20M lawsuit moves forward and everyone calls for and speculates what this means for Kenya’s return to RHOA. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Teresa's RHONJ Return, RHOBH’s Changes, Bethenny Gets Activated & Erika Jayne's Dark Secret

    Teresa's RHONJ Return, RHOBH’s Changes, Bethenny Gets Activated & Erika Jayne's Dark Secret
    Jun 13 2025
    Teresa Giudice has been talking a lot lately about her return to RHONJ, with or without the entire cast, or various members, in tow. The TreHuggers have reacted, of course, in droves - some happy, some not too happy these days for a plethora of reasons. Bethenny Frankel has entered her supermodel era and slams everyone and anyone in her way. RHOBH Season 15 changes. The RHOBH Producers are angry at Boz. Erika Jayne seems to maybe have some deep, dark secrets she does not want to discuss. Kyle Richards shares updates on sister Kim and so much more as the audience starts to wonder what is really going on behind producers doors w/ Season 15. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) DELETEME - (Get 20% Off By Texting VELVET to 64000 - To Take Control Of Your Data & Keep Your Private Life Private) 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) CORNBREAD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cornbreadhemp.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (30% Off With Code Velvet on Cornbread’s Gummies) INDEED - ⁠⁠⁠⁠indeed.com/velvet⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

..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..
