Summary

Bling Empire’s Andrew Gray steps back Behind The Rope. Bling Empire, one of the best reality shows, well, ever. Andrew chats about how he got involved with Netflix’s break out 2021 hit show about a group of very wealthy, and we mean very very wealthy, “friends” living in Los Angeles and what filming was like. Andrew is very forthcoming about his “role” as the shows “villain” (his words, not ours), when he knew he was going to be portrayed this way and how he feels about this edit. Andrew blows the door wide open on what was real vs fake (imagine a reality show not being 100% real), the toxicity of Reality TV, cast mates, his own struggles with mental health and more about Blind Empire. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Andrew Gray. Part II starts now. @andrewgray @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.
