BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

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. Part II starts now.

Chef Stu returns for a way overdue chat. Of course, we have to start with Stu’s thoughts on Jeff Lewis’ “Still Flipping Out”, the recent Gage drama, Jeff’s kiss with Joey, Jeff’s revolving door of staff and friends and oh so very much more! In other news, Tamra rounded up almost every single past RHOC cast member up, except those that are Bravo banned, for a twentieth party Bravoholics will never forget but the major talked about drastic cast changes are coming for season twenty one. Lisa Barlow may tell a half truth or too but she and Meredith are loving their lives these days with Quai officially in their corner and the audience branded “mean girls” - Heather, Whitney and Brownwyn - exposed. Gypsy Rose finds herself in the middle of another tabloid scandal. Last, but not least, “The Swan” returns with a drama filled doc that includes all the best parts of the original except the one and only Dr. Terry Dubrow.

Sarah Fraser stops by to help us break down all the Bravo tea from the past few days. Girls Trip may be over but the effect of Melissa’s apology to Teresa has just undone a decade long feud which is over, over and over. Andy Cohen apologizes to Teresa and love, love, love is in the air. Teresa Giudice makes moves to protect Milania. Heather Dubrow talks about her set up. Major RHOC cast changes are on the horizon. Kelly Dodd remains banned for life from Bravo. RHOBH’s upcoming season has drama from Leah, a Tracy Tutor alliance and more Dorit than people are expecting.

Tonight is the night. The wait is over. RHOP returns! In other news, RHOSLC’s stellar season continues as most of the ladies remain in a dark place opening up that there is way more going on behind the scenes that meets the eye.

Braunwyn vindicates Gina, Lydia unblocks Tamra and the truth behind Tamra’s termination finally makes its way to see the light of day. Andy Cohen defends himself. Jeff Lewis shades chump Crystal Kung. Lisa Vanderpump is worried about her legacy. Finally, Kai Gerber prepares to take time off.

Tiffany Rinehart steps Behind The Rope. Ok, ok you probably know her as Kathy Griffin's assistant from that little Bravo show called My Life on the D-List. After graduating college, a huge NSYNC fan, her main goal in life was to meet Justin Timberlake. Instead, she did the next best thing, she got a job working with Kathy Griffin, which led her to meeting and becoming friends with Lance Bass. Tiffany opens up about what working with Kathy was really like and how life changed once Bravo’s “My Life on the D-List” became an everyday occurrence. Tiffany tells us Kathy's biggest pet peeve and highest maintenance demands. Tiffany name drops all the huge celebs she met through Kathy - Cher, Paris Hilton, Tyra Banks, Bette Midler and more. Tiffany talks RHOBH, VPR, Bethenny Frankel, Teresa Giudice and Caroline Manzo. Last, but certainly not least. Tiffany talks about Kathy’s fall out with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, how Andy Cohen was a “Boss” to work for, and what really happened backstage at Watch What Happens Live. Part II starts now.
