Summary

Melissa Rivers is back for what we do best, our Group Text / Behind The Velvet Rope Real Housewives / Pop Culture Round Up. Being December and all, we recap the year and chat all the latest in Housewives and Pop Culture drama. Fresh off her stint at BravoCon, Melissa talks hosting the Below Deck panel - her dream come true - and spills the tea from backstage which maybe she was not supposed to hear. Vicki Gunvalson prepares to return for RHOC Season 20, but what are the real reasons for Ms. Gunvalson’s return. Teresa and Melissa prepare to spend Xmas together but is Bravo more involved in this reconciliation than originally met the eye? Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances enter RHOBH with a bang. Last, The Traitors (Season 4 shout out!) prepares to return with a stellar cast, behind the scenes secrets and what Alan Cumming calls the most shocking moment in Traitors history. @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
