Sibling fights are unavoidable, but what if every moment of tension – real or imagined – was under a microscope on a global scale? That’s the reality for the brothers from the House of Windsor: Prince William and Prince Harry. They were others’ closest friends and allies since the death of their mother. But, that all began to crack as they each married and took wildly different approaches to their royal duties. 

Wondery’s podcast DISS AND TELL is hosted by comedians Sydney Battle and Matt Bellassai. Each episode unpacks one of pop culture’s most iconic celebrity feuds, and they recently took a deeper look into the real reason William vs Harry started.

This is just a preview of Diss and Tell. Listen to The Diss and Tell wherever you get your podcasts, or at Wondery.fm/dissandtell_velvetrope

Trista Sutter, THE Original Bachelorette, Steps Behind The Rope.  Trista recalls what it was like when she applied to a not yet known TV show that promised the possibility of meeting the love of your life.  How likely is it for someone to find love on TV? With little known Reality TV to compare it to (The Real World and Survivor were two of the only successful Reality Shows around at the time), Trista had no idea what to expect when she was cast and filmed Season One of The Bachelor. Trista explained what it felt like to be the Runner Up and subsequently, very soon thereafter, be given her own show, the uber successful Bachelorette. Trista chats about what it was, and is, like to find real love on National TV and the whirlwind that came after the Bachelorette finale - Oprah, Ellen, runs in with the likes of Elton John and Debra Messing. Oh yea, there was also that other first, being on the first ever season of Dancing With the Stars.  We discuss just how much the show has changed since its more innocent days to involve tons more over the top drama and sex.  With the recent announcement of Jenn Tran as the new Bachelorette, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat.

Bravocon 2024 has been cancelled.  Why would one of Bravo’s most successful components be cancelled? We answer this question in light of decreased Housewife ratings, multiple lawsuits, Housewife city delays a la RHONJ, Dubai and RHONY, an RHOM several month - at best, for now - pause, lack of an RHOA cast even with Porsha returning, Teresa and Melissa unsustainably - to use Andy’s word - not speaking to each other at all, an RHOP season which has concluded with a beyond fractured cast and much, much more. Denial is the ultimate comfort zone but today is the day we invite you all to Step Behind The Rope and face many uncomfortable and difficult possible truths and outcomes that we all have been trying to avoid.

Renee Graziano steps back Behind The Rope.  She’s back!!  Renee is here to, in typical Renee fashion, mention it all. Renee chats about Mob Wives, cast mates Karen, Drita, Carla and Big Ang, the highs and lows of the show, Drita’s rumored new show and much more. Renee also chats about the “lifestyle”, complicated family relations, Mob misperceptions, “rats” and the biz of reality TV. Renee talks Monica “Reality Von Tease” Garcia and how she feels about Monica’s infiltration of the RHOSLC ladies and Jen Shah.  Renee talks RHONJ Melissa vs. Teresa, Erika and Tom, Tom’s upcoming competency trial, the letter she sent Jen Shah in jail and the current state of Housewives. Finally, Renee opens up about her past addictions, low points, recovery, and mental health journey like you have never heard her before. Renee explains just what led to her relapse at the end of last year, why this time her recovery is different, current projects and where she goes from here. The OG herself is in the house as we pay homage, with Miss Renee Graziano, to one of the best Reality TV shows to EVER exist, Mob Wives! Part II Starts Now.

What a day in Bravo it was yesterday. Crystal Kung announces her “bittersweet” exit from RHOBH and Robyn Dixon declares she was fired from RHOP. We break down our reactions, discuss Crystal and Robyn’s futures off Housewives and discuss what happens now for both RHOP and RHOBH - who will stay on RHOP, who is likely to be cast on both, should other cast members of RHOP be let go, RHOBH’s future with Dorit, Sutton, Garcelle, Kyle and Erika and when we can expect both franchises to resume filming. Meanwhile, Candiace is pregnant, explains her real reasons for leaving RHOP and Nneka is rumored to be headed for the chopping block as well. Alexia Nepola announces her divorce from Todd and we talk the future of RHOM. Like we said, it has been a very busy 24 hours in Bravo.
