Teresa's Formal Statement About Milania Broken Down, Shocking Milania Update, RHOSLC Recap & RHONY Recap
So much has been said about Milania Giudice over the past two weeks. Today we break down Teresa’s statement, share Milania updates and ask whether the media and BravoVerse has a duty to not discuss Milania’s mental health as Tre has asked of all of us. In other news, we share a very unpopular opinion about RHOM as Andy declares, again, that he wants RHOM back. RHONY’s Passover Seder from he$$ has everyone fighting, Martha Stewart returns, Jennifer Tilly appears and Carole gets really mad. Last, but not least, on RHOSLC Whitney betrays Quai, Lisa tells a few fibs, Brownwyn leans into her new life and Meredith is loving her life. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Teresa Is Very Worried About Milania, Kelly Dodd's Criminal Trial Update & Everyone Is Mad At Luann
As RHUGT prepares to come to an end next week at Bluestone Manor, one thing is clear. Everyone is mad at Luann. Lu tries hard not to become the next Vicki Gunvalson as Alex McCord reminds us that LV does not make mistakes, Tre tries to play the sax and Kyle wonders how fast she can get back to the 90210. In other news, Kelly Dodd’s next court date is set where she will have to face her revenge porn charges head on. Madonna wins big - 7 wins - and dominates, as usual, the VMAs. Last, but not least, everyone from Milania’s camp speaks out as rumors from inside Teresa’s inner circle emerge that she truly does not know what to do next in order to help her daughter much in need. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) POM - pomwonderful.com (Check Out POM Wonderful Antioxidant Super Teas) KENSINGTON PUBLISHING CORP - Just Like That (You Can Find “Just Like That”, The New Contemporary Romance By Lena Hendrix Wherever Books Are Sold In Print & In eBook) TIMELINE- Timeline.com/VELVETROPE (Timeline Is Offering a 15 Day Trial Of The Mitopure Resurfacing Exfoliator For Just $22) AUDIBLE - audible.com/VELVET (New Members Start Listening w/ a 30 Day Free Trial This Massive Library Of Audiobooks & Ad-Free Podcasts) INDEED - indeed.com/PODCAST (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Job The Premium Status It Deserves) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) LOLA BLANKETS - lolablankets.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 40% Off The Most Comfortable Blankets Ever!)

JUDY TORRES (on Being The Queen of Freestyle, Overcoming Childhood Abuse, Madonna & Reclaiming Your Power)
Judy Torres steps Behind The Rope. The Queen of Freestyle is here to mention it all. Long before podcasts and social media gave artists a platform to discuss mental health, Bronx native Judy Torres—affectionately known to millions as the "Queen of Freestyle"—was the voice of a dance music revolution. Her anthems like "No Reason to Cry" and "Come Into My Arms" defined an era of late-80s and 90s club culture and pop radio. Now, celebrating nearly 40 years as a recording artist and over 25 years as a iconic voice on New York’s 103.5 WKTU, Judy is stepping forward with her most candid project yet: her memoir, No Reason to Cry. In No Reason to Cry, Judy peels back the curtain on the price of early fame. Beyond the sold-out shows and radio hits, she exposes the hidden battles she fought behind the scenes: domestic trauma, toxic industry dynamics, health scares, bullying, and severe depression. As we said, Judy mentions it all! @judytorresmusic @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: POM - pomwonderful.com (Check Out POM Wonderful Antioxidant Super Teas) KENSINGTON PUBLISHING CORP - Just Like That (You Can Find “Just Like That”, The New Contemporary Romance By Lena Hendrix Wherever Books Are Sold In Print & In eBook) TIMELINE- Timeline.com/VELVETROPE (Timeline Is Offering a 15 Day Trial Of The Mitopure Resurfacing Exfoliator For Just $22) AUDIBLE - audible.com/VELVET (New Members Start Listening w/ a 30 Day Free Trial This Massive Library Of Audiobooks & Ad-Free Podcasts) INDEED - indeed.com/PODCAST (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Job The Premium Status It Deserves) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) LOLA BLANKETS - lolablankets.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 40% Off The Most Comfortable Blankets Ever!)
