MELISSA RIVERS (on Jen and Ben - What Is Really Going On)

It is that time of the month again. Melissa Rivers stops by for our regular monthly cross over to mention it all. First, we break down this season of RHONJ and, looking ahead, discuss who will most likely lose their jobs and not return for Season 15. Pay attention pah-lease. Next, Bravo stands by Andy, we all celebrate the fifteen anniversary of WWHL and Bravo lawsuits continue to move alone and arise as rumors of Kenya Moore suing surface. The new season of Below Deck Med has arrived, Justin Timberlake continues to make headlines over a now weeks old Hamptons DUI, Jennifer and Ben continue to send mixed messages while getting stalked by the paparazzi, nepo babies are slammed yet again due to Kim Kardashian and Kevin Costner, Kylie Jenner is very hurt, Bethenny continues to rebrand and Mellisa’s family has an unexpected run in with Taylor Swift.

That documentary should have not been done.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Agreed

[@marylouaddona8996]

Yeah, that doc was embarrassing.

[@uwsgrrrl9981]

Jen allowing her employees to read Ben’s love letters was a huge betrayal.

[@donnaharris2192]

the documentary that j lo put out was called the greatest love story never told. she is in one scene where she has this album and in the album she has all the love letters that ben affleck wrote to her since 2001 till now and she is showing it to her musicians and then someone tells ben she did that and he was pissed he was like are you serious? he was not happy. also the fact is there were years in there he was married to jennifer garner and if there are letters in there from those years cause j lo said from 2001 till now in regards to the love letters he wrote her that means he was writing her love letters while he was married to jen garner allegedly. so why would j lo put that out there. that's nasty. then supposedly she went to italy recently and they showed her on a boat by herself taking pictures of her ass and it's like your in your 50's are you really that self absorbed that your marriage is allegedly falling apart and your taking pictures of your ass by yourself. maybe that's why she's getting divorced again allegedly. it seems like she needs to grow up and get over herself. imo

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Correct

[@barbaramarino1770]

Melisaa is nothing like her mother.If joan rivers was alive , she would have Spoken the truth about j lo

[@alymshep]

Except her mother is no longer alive. I loved Joan ❤️ Joan would want Melissa to live a long life

[@tinam2696]

Her mother was rude & brash. The female version of Don Rickles. Not a fan of either of them.

[@katjaxxx7353]

The most embarrassing thing is that “the greatest love story never told …” is actually not happening. I was rooting for them, it’s very sad. I feel for the kids though, another move. No stability

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Same same same

[@feliciaalmario6307]

There's a reason why they broke up 20 years ago. She used private letters/emails in her movie - the woman loves attention.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yes

[@mariacasella6474]

They both have been through so much together and individually like most of us,I was hoping after all this time they would of gotten it right-wish them all the best-no one’s business but theirs

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ooohhh

[@b.bernal6151]

How I miss Joan. She would have had a lot to say about this and all funny.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yesss

[@ednareid5315]

She is going to be EXACTLY like Madonna!! She is addicted to the Fame more than being in love. This is the same problem they faced the first time around.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ughh

[@SimoneNC]

She’s definitely all about herself

[@joyceharland]

Love these interviews with Melissa. Thanku

[@behindthevelvetrope]

U are welcome

[@ShellyBomb]

💔 JLo knew Ben hated all that non-stop paparazzi; Jennifer thrives on the glow of the spotlight! From the get go JLo should have prioritized her marriage to Ben & their blended family, but her focus it seems to always be on herself ... 🪞 (😢)!!!

[@behindthevelvetrope]

What a mess

[@ShellyBomb]

@@behindthevelvetrope 🫡 1,000% --- just so very sad to have been given a second chance with "the love of her life" only to end up here right before their second wedding 💒 anniversary ... 😢!!! I wholeheartedly believe she'll regret her choices eventually, if not already ~ 💔

[@CapeCod_y2k]

All I know is Ben has his own media image he loves to control he also calls the paparazzi on himself as well. All those Dunkin runs he does are his own doing he controls his image in similar ways as most celebs addicted to fame do. It is very interesting to see people tend to blame Jlo in this situation (not you both) but public perception has been very mean toward Jlo. People forget Ben would call the cameras on himself especially during his alcoholism-with his ex wife taking him and driving him around. Hes very calculated also. Either way I hope both people move on and live their lives. A breakup public or not is very hard on everybody.

[@cindybaker5320]

Ben needs to grow up. I believe he is jealous that she is more famous than he is. If u love her support her, enjoy ur life together and and stop the drama you big baby.

[@Catz1in2024]

If she loves him, she also has a responsibility towards him. He does not like the public eye on him and yet she does the documentary.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

I agree

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yup

[@cherin5892]

Would be nice to see more than two profiles. Need a new camera angel. Makes the audience feel left out.

[@2shejack]

It’s interesting and confused by the whole thing. A-rod liked the spotlight, probably a bit too much, but he was more suited for her in that way. I wonder if he was faithful if they would’ve gotten married and still be together?

David, I can tell you and Melissa are tight, tight. You seem so comfortable and peaceful with her. You two are just gabbing like besties. It doesn’t seem like a podcast. It’s like sitting with you two in a conversation 💜

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Love this comment

[@kissad.7985]

She sounds like a measured nice person. It's good to see

[@SavannahJ79]

I think it's over and she's just waiting for the 2 year anniversary to announce because I think saying you were married for 2 years sounds better than saying one year. I don't think Ben would play out anything to save face from JLO's flops, he wouldn't do that to his kids. They aren't suited. There's also a WWHL clip where she is asked about Ben and then a question later she's asked who makes the best lovers out of dancers, singers and actors. She says dancers and singers, after literally just talking about Ben, so....

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ugh how sad

[@rturney6376]

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ooh

[@gigidodson]

JLo is always the bride on her honeymoon. Ben had a real marriage with Jennifer Gardner, so he knows what a marriage should be. He screwed that marriage up. But he knows what a marriage is. JLo is not the marriage kind. She is the perpepetual fiance, bride, honeymooner. It will never work. JLo is to self involved to be a good step mom or giving wife.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yes

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Not your fav?

[@4yellowrose]

I heard she doesn’t like her PEOPLE working for her to look at her. I personally think that is CRAZY. So I’ve had hard time with her. She thinks a lot of herself… I’m a Jennifer Garner fan, she is naturally a real woman.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Nice

[@jaimiepaquin4262]

I think that saying that they were flaunting their relationship on the red carpet was far reaching. All couples are seen on the red carpet. So I think you were definitely reading into something that wasn’t there. You’re just trying to build a case against them. I mean, we are of course seeing their relationship unravel in front of us, but don’t put “words in their mouth” as they say.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yes

[@50hellkat2]

Travis enjoys crowds. He is a NFL player and has this every time he plays and then there is the superballs and he still comes across as a regular guy and so does his brother and his wife and Taylor Swift is as well. Jennifer Lopez is a diva. And so is he.

I know somebody who worked in the escort business below the strip club he was in way back when they were engaged. They broke up because he slept with a stripper. He denied it. I know for a fact, it was true. He did sleep with the stripper. So, once a dog, always a dog.
