Summary

Monique Samuels steps Behind The Rope. Monique is here to chat about ALL of the drama that went down during her time on RHOP, how she moved on with her life and the highs and lows of being part of The Real Housewives franchise. Monique talks about Producer “involvement” in RHOP, real versus manipulated storylines and her epic, now iconic, reunion binder. Monique dishes on Wendy, Karen, Gizelle, Ashley and Candiace. Speaking of that epic binder, Monique opens up about the exact moment she realized leaving RHOP was the right decision. Yes people, she is back! Mo talks Chris Samuels, Andy Cohen’s favoritism and the difference between quitting Housewives and being fired. Last, but certainly not least, we pay homage to the one, the only, best Pet in the history of Bravo TV, Mr. T’Challa Samuels.

1:03.4	we're talking about, you know, do you guys know this story? I don't know if I knew this story,
1:07.9	or I guess I heard this right after the reunion how they put Monique
1:11.5	at the wrong hotel. You guys remember way more than I remember. They purposely put her at the

It's R-H-O-P day, everyone. Enjoy. What is this whole, because I mean, I know this was a thing, and you even said, like, what is the hotel about? Like, I don't get it. Like, they didn't just why? I think, honestly, looking back, remember at the reunion, Giselle had a security guard standing on stage.
