BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

The status of Housewives is very up in the air with many strange updates and unanswered questions about many of our favorite franchises.  Fake news arises about RHOSLC which Andy Cohen shoots down. Does that mean anything? RHOM is stalled and delayed. RHONY is about to be announced any day now - yes Andy is still saying this - with a mostly new younger cast. Last, but not least, a desperate ex RHONJ part time cast member drops fake news as fans are urged to move on and not expect RHONJ to be back anytime in 2026. Oh yea, also Kenya Moore is in trouble in many ways.

This is the true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house, work together, and have their lives taped. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real…. The Real World. Eric Nies steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Eric Nies was part of the granddaddy of all of reality TV, the original Real World, New York, Season One. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. With no prior reality show to look to, we discuss how that makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. Eric discusses his hesitations to do certain things not knowing how the final product would turn out and the influence of producers and editing back then. Eric discusses what MTV was like back in the day when it played music all day and how he thought the Real World would maybe be a little show that a few people watched. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, Becky and Andre and who he keeps in touch with today. He explains how once the Real World ended he was offered the gig as host of Club MTV, which led to MTV’s The Grind (also featuring a pre RHOBH Camille Grammer), which led to The Grind Workout Videos, which led to a long career as both a Competitor and Host of the classic MTV juggernaut The Challenge. He had movie offers, modeling offers and who could forget that Bruce Weber photoshoot book he was in with his brother (Google It). Being the hot commodity in town, no one said no. Money, fame, booze, drugs, women, anything at his fingertips that he wanted, Eric seemingly had it all. Until he didn't. With an addictive personality, Eric finally hit rock bottom and had his “aha" moment when he realized he needed to transform his life. Eric and David discuss the aftermath of being in the spotlight, how fame is possibly the most addictive drug of all, the highs and lows of the entertainment business and how to navigate it successfully and come out the other side.

This past week Andrew Cohen saw down with Miss Karen Huger for a one hour special. Today we break down this sit down - Karen’s time in jail, the jail conditions, her recovery, her future on RHOP, current beef with Professor Osefo, Andy’s questions and last, but not least, the fact that she refuses to call herself a full blown alcoholic who has 4 DUIs. In other news, the RHONY OG’s are back with a new show on E!. Bethenny Frankel, of course, has a lot of thoughts on their return. Finally, Teresa, Melissa and the rest of the RHONJ cast could be close behind with their very own return to TV E! Style. Bravo who?
