Summary

The Hills’ newest resident, Caroline D’Amore, steps Behind The Rope. Caroline may be the newest cast member of The Hills: New Beginnings, but she is no stranger to this friend group. Having grown up in Los Angeles, Caroline has known many of our fav Hills cast members since childhood. She has also known many other household names, once dubbed Hollywood “It” Girl in the early 2000s due to her BFFs Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, ok, you get the idea. In addition to being a regular on the LA Club Scene with her famous Squad, her love of the nightlife and music eventually led to a successful career as a DJ which has taken her all over the world playing to sold out crowds of epic proportion. Caroline chats about her own past in reality TV prior to joining “The Hills” with appearances on “Keeping Up with The Kardashians”, “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, having walked in Kyle Richards’ Fall Runway show for her fashion line, Shahida Clayton. Caroline opens up about how she was cast this season as The Hills' "new girl", the filming processes, seeing her “friends” for the first time once the cameras started rolling, her highs and lows from her freshman season and, of course, the drama. That drama included Mischa Barton, who slammed Caroline as a potential replacement after being let go from her not so stellar least season appearance on The Hills. Caroline chats about that epic day, her response, her thoughts on Mischa, the secret scene she filmed at Kathy Hilton's house last season that was cut, Mischa's urging of the cast to ignore her last season and what she would say if she ran into Mischa today. Of course, we also discuss the advice members of the royal family, Kim, Kourtney and Kris, gave her on reality tv, social media and the press now that she is a bona fide reality TV star in her own right. She is also a hardworking member of the family business, D’Amore’s Pizza, which has locations throughout the LA area. In a full circle moment, after avoiding the fam business for a career in nightlife and DJ’ing growing up, Caroline has re-launched her brand new Organic Pizza Sauce called “Pizza Girl”, we discuss the origins of that sauce, the origins of the name "Pizza Girl", how a shift in her company caused her to say yes to The Hills, the 3 amazing flavors (The Vodka sauce is the best!), and of course, whether it is approved by Foodgod himself!! Cue music, “Starring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window… Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in...The rest is still unwritten." @carolinedamore @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Brought to you by UNIDRAGON - https://www.unidragon.com (10% Off First Purchase - Use Code “VELVETROPES”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
