Fernanda Rocha steps Behind The Rope. You have heard, read, and written so much about her, we here Behind The Rope figured it was time to sit down with the woman behind the on-line myths to discuss it all. Of course, at the forefront of that discussion is her current relationship with former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke that went viral when announced a few weeks back. Fernanda chats about meeting Braunwyn, how their relationship went from friendship to dating, the timeline of that relationship in regards to Fernanda’s divorce from her ex-wife, the public scrutiny their relationship has received, her “role” in the relationship as someone who has been an out lesbian for many years, and what she would like to say to the naysayers who claim their relationship has ulterior motives. Fernanda also chats about the recent RHOC cast changes, what it was really like for Braunwyn when she received the news that she wont be part of next season, and her thoughts on cast choices such as Heather Dubrow, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador and the rumored newbies / friends of Tamra Judge, Noella Bergener and Nicole James. She answers whether she would ever go back and chats “spin off” with Braunwyn. Of course, there is more to Fernanda than recent tabloid headlines and ties to the RHOC. Fernanda chats about her Laguna Beach Gym, “Art of Fitness”, discusses how to shed the Covid 15, dispels many fitness and nutrition myths, and chats fitness trends. Speaking of fitness, we couldn’t help but ask her thoughts about former fellow RHOC Tamra Judge’s infamous, “Cut Fitness” - answering the questions, did she ever see them as a real rival and is she shocked to see them closed. Are we being shady? In all seriousness, check out Fernanda’s “Art of Fitness” for all the work out motivation you need! @fernandarochafitness @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by CREDIT KARMA - https://www.creditkarma.com/podcast (Or the Credit Karma App) - “Apply With Confidence” Today Brought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month) 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.
