According to the site, Gretchen had another man the whole time. He knew Gretchen's arrangement with Jeff. this is the guy that called Tamra and Simon on the phone the night before the horse race episode....so that is how they found out and were ignonring Gretchen at the races becasue they were upset. (creative editing never showed the reason for them snubbing Gretchen) Also, supposedly this guy was with Gretchen in Bass Lake the weekend she went there....and Tamra knew that...and that is why she questioned her on going there...she wanted her to admit it. His name is Jay Photgolu or something like that. Now he is claiming that he and Gretchen broke up becasue of........SLADE!!!!

You know I have been reading about this Jay all over the internet and I have been skeptical to believe him. I mean anyone can write a blog and put what they want in it BUT we do not have to believe it..........but there is just way too much about this dude that leads to think OMG, GRETCHEN if ANY of this is true then I completely understand why Tamra and Vicki have acted the way they did with Gretchen....the Bass Lake scenario and not wanting anything to do with her at the Race or looking at her motorcycle. What I am surprised about is Jeana (not so much Lynne as she is just CLUELESS 24/7) but I am so sure Vicki and Tamra clued Jeana in on Gretchen's LITTLE SECRET but she still choose to be a friend to her.

I just don't know what to think. I am so sure BRAVO did some creative editing as you state.

I bet it will ALL come out next week, now that Jeff is gone....I bet Vicki and Tamra explain their reasons for acting the way they do to Gretchen.

I'm not surprised by Jeana at all, if this is true. Remember earlier in the season when her, Tamra and Vicki went out to dinner and they were upset with Jeana for defending the deadbeat dad of Vicki's children and Tamra said that she didn't understand why Jeana was always sticking up for people who did wrong. You can see that with her ex Matt. She was always defending him and he treated her horribly.

I was wondering if anything on what was in Jeff's will ever came out? Did he really leave Gretchen anything? This would be interesting to know.

Oh my gosh! I just read that article linked above. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was true. Hurry up reunion show!!

This is my first season as well for the OCWives and while I will admit he is a HoTTie in those photos...he looked like a SLOB at the party in Laguna, Tuesday night. Everyone was exclaiming "Slade is here" I thought I was going to see this HUNK of a guy but nope, not at all.

Beauty pageant turns ugly
Reality television celebrity Gretchen Rossi, from hit cable show, "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
By Brianna Bailey
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 9:30 PM PST


The organizer of this year’s Miss Newport Beach and Miss Newport Beach Teen Pageants isn’t sure who will host the event — but she’s positive it won’t be “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi.

Pageant organizer Caren Lancona this week decided to drop Rossi, who was slated to emcee the April 24 event, after she was overwhelmed with negative phone calls and e-mails about the reality television celebrity.

“I made a mistake, and now I’m just trying to fix it,” Lancona said.


Here is the article.

Oh and another little bit of my $.02. I don't think if there was any kind of "arrangement" that Jeff was in on it. I think he really loved her (I think she cared for him and was keeping a "plan B", but not that she was madly in love with him). Which, if I was one of his family members, would piss me off. At least all of this didn't come out before he died.

But, even if all of this is true, I do think Gretchen is a sweet person who has just made bad decisions or didn't think things through. Ugh, but stay away from Slade and whoever this "Jay" guy is. How many "Housewives" does he need to date? Is Jeana next?

Another thing about the final episode: I thought it was very sweet Gretchen gave them all those little Coach wallets. It wasn't like she was trying to impress them with how much money she spent, it was a nice gesture. Vicki getting upset about it was ridiculous. I have a feeling that as much "attention" as she wants from her husband that if he was to go out of his way and get her something she would react the same way (Why are you giving me this? I didn't get you anything. You're such a horrible husband!)

And, also, if all of this is true, I don't think that gave Tamra or Vicki a right to treat Gretchen badly. My friends (and I) have made bad decisions regarding men that we didn't agree with from time to time, that doesn't mean I treat them differently.

I do not care if Gretchen was with another man that does not excuse the dispicable behavior by Vicki and Tamara. People in glass houses should not throw stones! Also, you sure as hell do not get a distraught woman fall down drunk and hand her over to your pervert son to take advantage of her. And Vicki is all over men constantly! It is none of their business how Gretchen chooses to live her life. She freely admitted she was not attracted to Jeff and Jeff knew this. Jeff was not a dumb man, he saw a beautiful woman and wanted her and he got her. I believe they did love each other in their own ways. I never understand why people want to jump on women involved with men with lots of money, but yet they have no problem with men with lots of money taking advantage of women who are beautiful and young.

I tend to agree. If Jeff and Gretchen had an arrangement, it served them both. Jeff got a beautiful, young woman for his nursemaid. And Gretchen was taken care. But, so far we only see gifts he gave her(engagement ring, motorcycle, clothes). And nothing that would support her for any length of time. And as for this Jay guy, personally, I tend to read any blog of a supposed disgruntled ex-lover with a big grain of salt.

I totally agree! Vicki and Tamra are just plain warped. They can't see the forest through the trees.

I never understood why Jo gets 15 seconds of reality "fame", must less way past her 15 minutes. Never could stand her. She and Lynne look like they have been hanging out at the same beach for years and forgot their sunscreen. Very scary.

I haven't seen this season (I don't have cable, so I have to catch up at the gym or on DVD), but it looks like I missed drama!

Just found this on the TMZ website...thought it was ironic

"Real O.C." Guy Really Arrested
Posted Feb 20th 2009 5:15PM by TMZ Staff

Slade Smiley from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" -- yes, there are guys on that show -- was picked up by Costa Mesa PD today on a civil contempt warrant.

We're told Smiley was popped this afternoon and is currently being held on $10,000 bail.

It's unclear what the warrant is for ... there's a buzz it involves unpaid child support, but so far we haven't confirmed it.

I agree! If everything is true, I don't think Jeff was a man who had no idea what was going on and got taken in.

Tamra has disgusted me this season....I don't think I have ever seen such a jealous, two-faced woman in my life!

And Vicki, I used to really like her in the past shows, but this season she seems to have changed so much, very bitter.

Interesting little tidbit in the OC Register over the weekend....

By KIMBERLY EDDS
The Orange County Register

COSTA MESA – Slade Smiley, who earned his 15 minutes of fame on the reality show "The Real Housewives of Orange County" was arrested on a warrant Friday.

Smiley, 38, was arrested by Costa Mesa police in the 2400 block of Elden Avenue about 3 p.m. on a $10,000 warrant for civil contempt, Costa Mesa police Lt. Clay Epperson said. Details about the warrant were not available late Friday, but civil contempt includes non-payment of court fees, including child support.

Smiley, who starred with his ex-girlfriend in the Bravo show "Date My Ex: Jo and Slade," was later booked in the Orange County jail.

What ever happened to the new boyfriend Jo was suppose to date after the show? I was surprised to see her at the party with Slade?? I agree about Vicki and Tamra being evil. Jeff was married something like 5 times--he knew exactly what Gretchen was all about. That's so true "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Vicki is just plain annoying and thinks she is so important. Tamra and her pervert son--he was attracted to his relative that he had just met. They sure have a lot of skelatons in their closets.

Supposedly Slade is Jo's "manager". I don't know what happened to the "Date My Ex" guy, I'm sure the two of them were just in it for the publicity.

Which I think it's funny that Slade's "only" going to charge Gretchen $1,000 to get her career off the ground. Look what a great job he has done with Jo

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Well I hope he doesn't take Gretchen to the same hairdresser that he took Jo to.
