Summary

Kempire steps Behind The Rope. Kempire is here for a full State of the Union on the status of all the Housewives Franchises and future of Bravo. First up, Kempire talks the infiltration of bloggers this season on RHOC, the absence of Katie this second half of the season, the shocking upcoming season finale, Katie’s future and the many fake RHOC casting rumors around next season’s 20. With RHOSLC back in our lives, we chat this new season and who is most likely to exit - yes already - when this season concludes. Mere weeks away from the return of RHOP, Kempire talks the newbies, the return of Monique, fake friendships and what is likely to be The Grand Dame’s return at the end of this season. Speaking of newbies, Kemp chats K. Michelle and Pinky Cole, Drew’s winning streak and why we should maybe be cautiously optimistic for the return of the now filming RHOA. Last, but not least, but we break down the RHONJ of it all, we give Bethenny Frankel her accolades in oh so very many ways. @thekempire @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) JUANES - (Check Out Juanes’ New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
