Summary

Kelly Dodd’s Brother steps Behind The Rope. Eric Meza, that is. If you have not heard, Eric has come forward over the past few days in a series of now viral videos with claims that Kelly’s whole family does not speak to her anymore, that she engaged in shocking acts toward her daughter and so very much more. Today, Eric is here to explain these claims in detail and just what Kelly has done to drive her family away. Eric shares never before heard alleged secrets from her past that have left us absolutely shell shocked and speechless. Eric weighs in on RHOC, the files he claims he has on Kelly and Rick that rival - in his words - those of The Epstein Files and just where The Meza/ Dodd/ Leventhal family goes from here in the hopes of one day finding peace and reconciliation. @ericmeza @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - ⁠⁠⁠reliefband.com⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RAKUTEN - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rakuten.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get the Rakuten App NOW and Join the 17 Million Members Who Are Already Saving!
