Tamra Judge rocked the BravoVerse last week when she declared she was “on the spectrum”.  We break down Tamra’s statement, analyze the validity of it, weigh in on the public outrage and discuss the claims that it was for sympathy, to excuse over a decade of RHOC bad behavior and / or for a story line next season, RHOC 19. Finally, we discuss the comments thereafter from Vicki, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and Heather McDonald. In other RHOC news, Jim Bellino and Elizabeth Vargas are dating, then not dating a la #fake news, Gretchen discusses what really went down in the Morocco bathroom between Brandi and Caroline and Jennifer Pedranti gets angrier than F at Tamra earning her place for RHOC 19. Finally, Andy Cohen weighs in again on Jennifer Aydin’s claims, on the future of RHONJ and when we can realistically expect casting announcement for Season 15. Part II starts now!! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  LOLAVIE - lolavie.com/VELVET (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Off Jennifer Aniston’s Award Winning Hair Care) OAK ESSENTIALS - oakessentials.com (Use Code Velvet15 For 15% Your First Order of Clean, Spa Quality Skincare Essentials) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s At a Fraction Of The Cost Of The Name Brands) PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet ($120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact execs.com">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.
