Gretchen Rossi: Her choice in men

Gretchen Rossi, one of the most controversial stars in the Real Housewives franchise. She is known as the drop dead gorgeous blonde from The Real Housewives of OC. She has had her fair share of press from her gold digging antics to her nude pictures, you can say she always gets noticed.

Lets start with a little background history on the blonde bombshell. Gretchen is 31 years old from La Cresenta, California and attended Baylor University in Dallas, Texas. After college, Gretchen went into the real estate business and then quit to take care of Jeff full-time... and that is where the gossip starts.

Beitzel was Gretchens 54 year old millionaire fiance`who died of leukemia. Gretchen spent one year "nursing" Jeff while he was ill. The timing seems a little ironic for me, when Gretchen met him he was already diagnosed with leukemia and was told he only had a few months to live. That was when Gretchen pounced and preyed on this rich old man.
I remember the first time Gretchen was introduced and I saw her fiance` I thought he was her father or possibly her grandfather. There is not one second that I actually believe that she married this man for love.
After he died, she claimed that Jeff left her no money but it has come out that he actually left Gretchen with $2.5 million. Pure gold-digger right here.

Now we move onto Gretchen's next love interest.. Slade Smiley. Slade is a Bravo television whore, he starred on seasons 1 and 2 on the Real Housewives of OC because he was engaged to Jo De La Rosa. They then ended their dysfunctional relationship in the middle of the second season of the show. Immediately after, Slade had a brief relationship with another Real Housewife on the show named Lauri Waring. Lets just say the man gets around, he has been with three housewives. There have been rumors that Gretchen and Slade dated while she was nursing Jeff. I personally think that Slade is together with Gretchen for the TV time and the money that she received when Jeff died. This man is a reality whore and I am not sure what Gretchen sees in him.
