Jackie Beard Robinson steps back Behind The Rope.  Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC.  Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more.  We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back. Part II starts now.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Mike Hill steps Behind The Rope. Mike Hill, back when he was Mr. Cynthia Bailey. Were the warning signs always there? Is this chat foreshadowing at its best several years in the making?  Mike talks Cynthia Bailey, RHOA, his role as a Bravo House Husband. the social media feuds which are part of any Housewives job, Cynthia’s Bachelorette RHOA episode with Bolo, whether he is ever shocked at just how far our favorite Peach Holders went to make good TV and last, but certainly not least, Nene Leakes. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Mr. Mike Hill.
