Psychic Robbin delves into this current season of RHOBH, the fallout of Kyle’s friendship with Dorit, the separation of Dorit and PK, Kyle’s separation and looming divorce from Mauricio, Kyle’s refusal to mention Morgan, Kyle and Kathy’s current “tough love” phase with sister Kim Richards and so much more.  Robbin tells us all that she sees regarding the rest of the RHOBH season for each of their friendships, relationships and marriages explaining which can be mended, which will be mended and which are just gone and broken forever. Next Psychic Robbin heads east to The Garden State to help us revisit the current RHONJ pause. Robbin discusses Teresa - what she sees in terms of her future on the show, whether she will be back next season, whether Melissa will be back next season, whether Teresa is nervous considering the pause is lingering on and money is being spent like water. Robbin also breaks down the marriage between Tre and Louie - sharing updates on whether they will last forever as soul mates or are ultimately headed for divorce and what months will be great and not so great for the TreHuggers’ Queen in 2025.  Finally, Psychic Robbin visits Love Hotel explaining if Shannon Beador will finally find her guy in 2025 and addresses Alexis & John Janssen’s rumored exit from RHOC holding nothing back revealing harsh truths, tough love and what she sees for the future for Kyle, Dorit, Kathy, Kim Richards, Teresa, Louie, PK, Shannon, Melissa, Alexis and many more of our favorite housewives coast to coast.

It’s that time of the month again. Melissa Rivers is back to help us break down and make sense of all that is happening on our Bravo screens and in our Pop Culture world.  With another highly rated season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills well underway, Melissa talks this past week's RHOBH episode and helps summarize all that is going on off air. Dorit and Kyle still not in a good place, Erika in the middle, PK and Dorit’s marriage unravelling before our very eyes, newbies Boz and Tilly stealing many scenes they are in, Kathy Hilton holding court and so much more, Melissa helps us recap it all. In other news, Melissa shares personal knowledge about the Equestrian culture of the west coast that Teddi Mellencamp has found herself smack dab in the middle of. We break down Teddi’s vague, world salad of a statement on her divorce from Edwin and analyze whether as a Real Housewives Podcast Host, she, he or us have the duty to talk about drama as it unfolds in our personal lives the way we talk about all the other Housewives’ dirt. Finally, we discuss more setbacks for Diddy - new claims against the once revered rapper, incriminating jail cell notes and bail denied once again, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce - the gift that keeps on giving to all in their inner camp many times over and last, but certainly not least, Cher’s scorching hot new memoir which leaves no stone unturned and holds nothing back in taking everyone to task who has done this epic icon wrong throughout her multi-decade long reign at the top. As we said, everyone’s fav time of the month. @melissariversofficial @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  LIPOZENE - Lipozene.com (One of Americas Most Trusted Weight Management Supplements Starting At Just $29.95) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Shop The Holiday Sale To Save 20% Sitewide and Support The Show By mentioning That BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE Sent You In Your Post-Checkout Survey!
