David Yontef on Celebrity Feuds, Reality TV, Martha Stewart, Bravo, and his own evolution
Behind the Velvet Rope host David Yontef joins Shut Up! Tell Me More for a conversation about celebrity culture, reality television, podcasting, Bravo and what really happens behind the scenes.David has recorded thousands of podcast episodes, interviewed major celebrities and Bravolebrities, and built real relationships inside the world he covers. But before any of that, his career looked completely different. We talk about his unexpected path from corporate tax attorney and staffing agency owner to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in reality TV and pop culture podcasting.And then there is Martha Stewart.David actually worked for Martha, so we talk about what she was really like, what people might be surprised to learn about her, and one of the most iconic pop culture evolutions of all time. From lifestyle mogul to tabloid headlines, prison, Snoop Dogg, Sports Illustrated and cultural icon, Martha’s career arc is truly in a category of its own. David talks celebrity and reality TV feuds, sticky situations involving friends, and the challenge of covering an industry when you have real relationships inside of it.We also discuss the recent Beverly Hills, 90210 conversation surrounding Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, Tori’s departure from their rewatch podcast and the reports that their longtime friendship may have hit a rough patch.Then we get into the much bigger question facing reality television right now: Has it become too dark?From addiction and family tragedy to custody battles, arrests, public allegations and very real pain playing out in front of cameras. David also weighs in on:• Why an established celebrity like Leah Remini would willingly enter the Housewives machine• The Bravo rumors and behind-the-scenes chatter he is hearing right now• What still keeps him interested in Bravo after thousands of episodesWe also take a moment to acknowledge the heartbreaking death of Presley Gerber and the larger conversation around addiction and mental health.And because no pop culture conversation is complete without at least one completely insane theory, I make David weigh in on our current obsession: The Shards. Who is real? Who has Bret imagined? Who is the Trawler? And could Bret himself actually be the killer?If you love celebrity news, pop culture, reality television, Martha Stewart, Beverly Hills, 90210, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Bravo, Real Housewives, podcasting and behind-the-scenes entertainment stories, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Shut Up!

Inside NXIVM: Sarah Edmondson on Cult Red Flags & Protecting Our Kids
If you watched HBO’s The Vow, you know Sarah Edmondson as the NXIVM survivor and whistleblower who helped expose one of the most notorious cults in modern history.And if you’re anything like me, a pop-culture obsessive who is totally fascinated by cults, you probably watched Sarah’s story wondering: How does an intelligent, successful person get pulled into something like this? And would I recognize the warning signs before it was too late?Sarah spent 12 years inside NXIVM, became a leader in the organization and recruited others into something she genuinely believed was helping people. But after being branded as part of the secret women’s group DOS, Sarah didn’t just leave, she helped blow the entire organization open.We talk about what NXIVM promised its members, how Keith Raniere gained their trust and how people were slowly taught to ignore the little voice telling them something wasn’t right. Sarah also takes us inside DOS, the master-slave hierarchy, collateral, coercive control, the branding ceremony and the complicated reality of realizing you helped bring people into a cult.But this conversation goes far beyond NXIVM and The Vow.Sarah and her husband, Anthony “Nippy” Ames, host the podcast A Little Bit Culty and are the authors of A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and Coercion. Together, we explore the cult-like dynamics hiding in everyday life, when belonging becomes dependency, why smart people are susceptible to manipulation and how parents can teach their children to recognize coercion, question authority and trust their gut.Because nobody thinks they’re joining a cult, and the people who are manipulated aren’t stupid or gullible. They’re often the people who believe it could never happen to them.This episode includes discussions of coercive control, sexual exploitation, abuse and branding.Follow the show: Rate the show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and SUBSCRIBE on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube:Instagram: @shutuptellmemoreTikTok: @shutuptellmemorepodFull Video Episodes are Available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShutUpTellMeMorePodcastMy Guest: Sarah Edmonson Instagram: @sarahedmonsonFacebook: @sarahedmonsonPurchase "A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and CoercionThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
