Summary

Amir Yass from the hit podcast, The Take On, steps Behind The Rope. David was recently on an episode of Amir’s podcast (check it out). These two Geminis catch up like old friends, bond over being podcast hosts and get right into it. Amir used to work in PR with celebrities such as Queen Paris Hilton, JLO, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani and Melissa McCarthy. From there, Amir fell into working with reality TV talent and the Bravo world. He has worked with The Kardashians and Lord Disick!! Not bad. His first Bravo client, our friend Patti Stanger. He also worked with the Tom’s Sandoval and Schwartz and Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd. Amir was responsible for arranging the opening party for TomTom. Do tell. He does. Amir spills all, the good, the bad, the ugly. Amir lets us know some of the highest maintenance celebrities he has ever worked for and some of the nicest. He compares “A” list celebrities to reality TV stars and lets us know who is more high maintenance to deal with. We had Amir slow down and spill all about the opening of TomTom, Jax, James Kennedy, Scheana Shay. We needed every last detail. For those who don’t know, Amir had a viral TikTok moment a few weeks back when he opened up about his past experiences working for LVP and Erika Jayne. He is here to explain what went wrong with both of those working relationships and what he suggests each do differently. Finally, being a BravoHolic and Reality TV junkie himself, Amir can’t help but talk about the shows and talent he loves the most, Below Deck, The Hills, Selling Sunset, to name a few. The show he does not love, Watch What Happens Live. Fear not, he has suggestions. A true look behind the scenes by Celebrity PR Insider, Amir Yass. @amiryassofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope   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.
