Gretchen, Victor Paul Team Up To Help Grayson

Gretchen Rossi is tired of the Slade Smiley child support news reports that are erroneous. Now Gretchen and the man who does her incredible hair, Victor Paul, are teaming up to help Slade’s son, Grayson. In recent weeks, both on Real Housewives of OC, Watch What Happens Live, and elsewhere, there have been a series of negative reports about Slade and support for his son Grayson.

Rossi tells news that there is “one person in particular” who is spreading the false reports. Who is it?

“Unfortunately the press and one person in particular have perpetuated this very difficult and frustrating situation for Slade” Gretchen tells news this week. “The press and people stating that Slade is a deadbeat father are ridiculous” Rossi adds. “Just because a man can no longer pay $4,000 a month in support due to loss of a job and financial hardship does not make him a deadbeat father.”

Gretchen leaves Bravo fans to figure out which person is saying this about Slade. But she adds “It has become apparent this story is being told only through one person’s eyes so it can benefit only them, not even taking into consideration how it is affecting Grayson’s health, recovery, and relationship with his father.”

Rossi, however, has her own plan.

In recent episodes, Slade has debuted on the telecast his love of painting. Now Gretchen tells news that she has encouraged Slade to put his paintings to get use. In a statement to fans and news this week, Gretchen reveals she has teamed up with the Victor Paul Salon, often featured on Housewives, to help assist Grayson.

“With that said the Victor Paul Salon and I have decided to put together a charity event in honor of Grayson and help raise money to continue to get this little guy the attention and care he needs.” Rossi tells news that the charity event (click here for details) will feature Slade selling his paintings to help for Grayson’s care.

Tamra Barney & Gretchen Rossi's Feud Goes On

It didn't take long for Real Housewives of Orange County stars Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi to pick up right where they left off. On Sunday's season 6 premiere, a shopping party at the home of Tamra's new boyfriend turned ugly when Gretchen tried on a hat with an eye symbol that's supposed to ward off evil spirits.

"Oh wait, hold on, Tamra – let me put it on for you," Gretchen said.

Later, Tamra sought an explanation. "Were you calling me an evil bitch, is that what you're saying?" Tamra asked.

"Yeah, I totally kind of was," Gretchen replied. "I don't think I can hold back on that. I think I was calling you an evil bitch."

By the time Gretchen left in a limo, she and Tamra had not cleared the air, setting the two up for another season of bickering.

Gretchen Rossi Calls Tamra an "Evil B***h"

It doesn't take long for the claws to come out on this Sunday's season premiere of Bravo's the Real Housewives of Orange County.

Round one? Gretchen Rossi vs. Tamra Barney. Picking up their feud from seasons past (Barney insinuated Rossi cheated on her cancer-stricken fiance when he was still alive), the girls go at it during a backyard get together.

"I was pretty damn nice to her and stood there while she called me a bitch at my boyfriend's house," gripes Barney on the debut. "But...Let me give her the benefit of the doubt."

Confronted about making the slur, Rossi retorts, "Yeah. I don't think I can hold back on that. I think I was calling you and evil bitch."

"I was more than shocked," says Barney. "I really thought we had buried the hatchet."
