Vicki Still With Brooks; Calls Out Tamra! Talks Reunion
RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson has had quite the year! Vicki reflects back on the season and talks the reunion in her recent blog. She calls out Tamra, confirms she still loves Brooks and talks the reunion!
“Taping the reunion show is somewhat similar to being on the defense stand for a murder trial. It’s one of the most grueling days we endure, when wrapping up a season. It’s a chance for all of us to say to one another our viewpoints from the past season of filming. This first part of the reunion went fairly well for me but the second part I don’t think is going to be as forgiving.
As a human, we all make mistakes and if we learn from those mistakes and continue to make better choices in life — then it was worth it. I admit I’ve made mistakes, said some things I shouldn’t have, and have attempted to move past them. However, as I said on this episode — it’s like continuing throwing them up over and over again. Frustrating!
There isn’t one of us that sat on that couch that goes untouched on the reunion episodes. One way or another, we got “called out” on actions, words, or things we did to hurt one another. I don’t believe any of us have ill intent towards each other, however we necessarily don’t agree or even like each other at times, which can make things uncomfortable.
Tamra and I obviously are not in a good place. Other than her not accepting Brooks, I really don’t know how or why she decided to do what she did this year to our friendship. We had a strong bond, and I felt that no one or nothing would have ever come between us. We had too much history with each other, and too much genuine care for one another to let things get as bad as they did.
I told Tamra that I felt her friendship with Gretchen had a lot to do with it. . .and I still believe it. Gretchen obviously doesn’t respect me or even like me, and although I wish we did have a good “working” relationship it’s just not there.
When Tamra found out about Brooks past child support issues, it was a way for Gretchen to finally get her word out that I’m a HYPOCRITE and of course Tamra had to join in on that because she couldn’t let Gretchen be alone in that fight. Personally, I thought she would have gone to bat for him, however she did the exact opposite what I thought she would do.
For a time, Eddie, Tamra, myself, and Brooks had a great relationship. We went to Mexico together to celebrate my birthday and Eddie’s birthday months prior to the media exposing Brooks, and we told them our fears of introducing Brooks to the world. They both encouraged us and said we would show everyone our new boyfriends and to show how happy we both were. We spent many weekends together. Never once did Tamra even talk to me about her concerns of Brooks — until months later. When I told her that I would never do anything to hurt her or Eddie, I wouldn’t. There are many things that have not been disclosed about Eddie (or Tamra for that matter) and as a friend I would never want to deliberately hurt them or their relationship by disclosing anything negative about them. We were completely honest with them, as we trusted them with our relationship. I guess we were wrong. Where I come from, a true friend supports whatever decision one makes, unless it is life, financially or emotionally threatening. NONE of these are the case with Brooks or I.
Alexis, I thought, did a fabulous job on defending herself. She has become a very dear friend to me and regardless of what people say about her, she is a great person. Reflecting back on how Tamra spoke to her in Costa Rica about “being a true person and throwing her money away” was just down right mean. We all need money in this world to survive, and all of the times I have been around Alexis and Jim this past year they are the most genuine people I know. I would question Tamra, if Eddie didn’t have any money would you still be with him? I doubt it. Furthermore, Tamra does not work and it would be very difficult for her to support her three young children with no child support, Eddie. To say money doesn’t matter to Tamra, is being a “hypocrite.” Oops. . .did I say that?
Heather is a class act. I have really enjoyed getting to know her and Terry this season and I hope to have a lifelong friendship with them. Now that the show is over and summer is here, we haven’t been able to see each other as often as we like, but we truly care about one another and could never see it getting bad between us. But then I’ve said that before.
I’ve seen Gretchen become more mature these past few years. There is a lot of s–t stirring she has done, which has caused some unnecessary issues with Tamra and I which I wish could have been avoided. I wish her and Slade a lifetime of happiness and am glad that he has seemed to come out to the drama that was focused on him a few years back. Looks like all that has shifted towards Brooks this season. Wonderful!
In closing, we have one more week and Season 7 is a wrap. I went with Briana and Ryan yesterday for her 27-week ultrasound checkup. The baby is growing, is healthy and even waved at us which was SO exciting. He was drinking and moving around which was fun seeing. My Briana and I are closer than ever, and as a soon to be 25 year old mother herself, she is definitely an amazing girl. She is very protective of me, and only wants the best for me. At the end of the day, we are family and for those of you that say I have chosen Brooks over my family and friends is just flat out not true. I will defend my honor in those statements. Briana may never accept Brooks, or for that matter any other man I choose to be with, but at the end of the day, my happiness does matter.
There is no doubt Brooks has been put thru the “ringer.” Yes, he admits to some mistakes in his past, but keep it in perspective. We ALL have some “issues” in the past that we wish we could have changed or not have said, but at the end of the day he is a son, a brother, a father, a businessman, and I love him. I have a very good judge of character and I sure wouldn’t have stayed this long if I didn’t feel he wasn’t worthy of me. I have no idea where my road is headed, but one thing for sure is I know who I am, I know what I want, and I’m not settling in any area of my life. I have two amazing children, Mike and Briana, a new son-in-law Ryan, a grandson on the way, amazing friends who all love me and support me, and an amazing business Coto Insurance & Financial Services. I am focused and centered of where I am headed, more than I have been in many years. I love my life and if you happen to see me around, please stop and say “Hi.” Thank you all for your support in this crazy ass year I had, and I look forward to seeing you again in Season 8, if we have the opportunity. Woo Hoo!”
In some ways I feel bad for Vicki but then I remember that she was a hypocrite about a lot of things with the other housewives. I personally think she needs to ditch Brooks and find another way to be happy. Thoughts on what Vicki had to say? Do you think Tamra was a bad friend to Vicki?

I don’t feel sorry for her. Any dumbass woman who supports a loser , and I mean financially supports a loser who can’t take care of his kids , doesn’t deserve my sympathy. Imo she is pathetic , she must be desperate and feel she can’t get another man to stay with such a lowlife.
She has lost her mind. Brooks/David is stealing you blind. Have him tell you about his std. Ask about the money he owes to the lady in Texas. Ask him about the credit card he uses that he signs on your acct. He wants you away from family and friends. Or enjoy being bankrupt.
Vicky is extremely jealous of Tamara and Gretchen’s relationship and seemed to want to get back at Tamara by getting close to Alexis so I see a lot of fakeness going on there, but what do you expect she has been hanging around the fakest of them all. I hope she leaves Brooks the 20/20 segment was no tabloid magazine it was as legit as you can get. WAKE UP YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO MAKE YOU SEE THE LIGHT. Loved her the last few seasons but this season I realized how insecure and phony she could be. Even though Heather does come off as “stuffy” sometimes she can back it up unlike other housewives that non stop talk about what they have and compete with everyone about just about everything. Looks like Alexis met her match and cant stand it.
Meh these shows are just starting to become judgmental women behaving badly calling each other out. If Vicki is in love with this guy, good for her. Yeah she talked crap about Slade but she didn’t go as far as Tamra to call his ex. From what has been reported Vicki actually apologized to Slade and Gretchen even said that Vicky asked about Slade’s son’s health, this was all before Brooks.
I don’t watch these shows so I can feel superior to these women. That’s not what floats my boat in life. I watch to see people living a different type of life than myself and going through real life experinces. Which is why I’ve been tuning out. If I want to see random over the top drama I’ll watch the Soap Network. Its ridiculous but its supposed to be and its not passed off as real life.
Because honestly who am I to cosign or trash any of their personal relationships. Wish Vicky the best in welcoming her new grandson. Focusing on the positive.
Exactly! Its Vicky’ s lesson to learn. WTF is everyone bent out of shape over? If she gets taken, then she gets taken. She’ll be ok.
I like Vicki, never did before till this season. I think she’s right to be jealous/annoyed of Tamra’s friendship with Gretchen. They did a 180 after all the years of trash talking each other, and now love all over each other?! Strange to say the least. As for Brooks, I’d much rather see a woman who makes her own money, spend it how she wants, even if that means “supporting” a man. More power to her,and it’s nice to see a woman on the show who makes her own dough!
I would like to know some of the trash she knows about Tamara and Eddie! LOL! I just wish someone would call Tamara to the carpet and embarrass the hell out of her like the way she takes such pleasure in embarrassing the rest of them. What she does to Vicki next week is thoroughly unforgivable.
“For a time, Eddie, Tamra, myself, and Brooks had a great relationship. We went to Mexico together to celebrate my birthday and Eddie’s birthday months prior to the media exposing Brooks, and we told them our fears of introducing Brooks to the world. They both encouraged us and said we would show everyone our new boyfriends and to show how happy we both were. We spent many weekends together. Never once did Tamra even talk to me about her concerns of Brooks — until months later.” That right there tells me all I needed to know. Clearly Tamra’s friendship w/ Gretchen did turn the tides between her and Vicky! How can you support them for months and then suddenly notice what a creeper he is? I noticed it from the first episode and Tamra who supposedly “calls it like it is” never said anything? Nope not buying it! I feel like she was looking for a fight the night at Heathers party!Tamra herself said that Bravo played up her concerns about Brooks all thru the season! She said she didnt say those things til the party interveiw! I wholeheartedly believe Tamra picked that fight w/ Vicky. Clearly there was tension between them and good ole Gretchen went out of her way to point it out at the table that “somethings been brewing”!!!! I believe Gretchen even instigated it to be honest! Neither Tamra nor Gretchen have any loyalty, respect, or compassion! As for Vicky I cant feel sorry for someone who repeatedly put others down for what she’s doing now. She is just as wrong! Imo they’re all guilty of what they accuse the others of! Hello Pot! Meet Kettle! Just bugs the heck out of me when people act like Tamra some straight shooter! She says things out of spite and anger and never owns the flaws she has!
Basically what I meant was the night that happened w/ Vicky and her she was already angry at Vicky. She was irritated w/ the comments about Tamra brownnosing and even made a remark about it when Gretchen gave her the bracelet. The toast to Alexis really pissed her off and when Brooks said something to her it gave Tamra the perfect chance to unload all that ammunition on Vicky. She didnt do it out of concern or love. Because if so she’d have 1) already said something to Vicky lovingly regaurding her concerns and 2) done in private and not at a party w/ Gretchen egging her on! So Tamra did it out of anger and spite and frustartion! Any true friend (especially one who claims to call em as she sees em) would never throw a dear friend under the bus as she did!Theres no excuse for it! Basically what we have here is a high school senario where these are the vain and selfish mean girls and your friends shift to whoever is more popular and in the “in crowd”. Gretchen is in and Vicky is out! Reminds me of the damn movie and thats just disgusting since these are grown women, some w/ children! Makes me happy I always avoided that group in school!
Vicki wasn’t innocent either in that fight. She was purposely trying to annoy Tamra by calling her a brown noser and toasting to Alexis! What kind of adult woman does that…?? Vicky should have been HAPPY that Gretchen and Tamra had buried the hatchet, but she was jealous! She felt jilted, so she’s trying to flaunt a new friendship (with Alexis) in Tamra’s face. WHO DOES THAT other than high school girls? Oh wait, I just thought of someone else-Alexis-who’s doing the exact same thing to Gretchen and for the exact same reason. I think they’re all nuts lol
Totally agree w/ you on this too! Lets be honest…ALL OF THESE WOMEN ARE GUILTY OF WHAT THEYRE ACCUSING OTHERS OF!!! Its mind blowing to me. Theyre all bashing one another and condeming each other for the EXACT things they do themselves! Gretchens doing it to Alexis, Alexis is doing to Gretchen…Vicky is doing it to Tamra, Tamra is doing it to Vicky! These chicks are crazy and need to accept the high school ended years ago!
hey tamra is doing the same thing to vicki. instead of including her in on her and gretchens fake new found friendship she would alienate vicki and throw it in her face . at heathers painting party she and gretchen were purposely making comments and acting goofy to annoy vicki. then she wants to play dumb and act like she doesn’t know why vicki didn’t say bye to her. seriously? it’s gretchens and tamras own fault for making her feel left out and jealous. for crying out loud, tamra and vicki were close friends and all of a sudden tamra is best friends with her enemy. vicki wasn’t the only person that thought it was weird and it still is.
exactly, i agree with everything you said. tamra isn’t a friend to vicki and totally backstabbed her. why? just to be friends with gretchen and kiss her ass?!! i can’t believe she joined in with gretchen and called her a hypocrite. wasn’t she friends with her for years knowing she was a hypocrite but now she has a problem with it just because gretchen does?! i call that being a two faced backstabber.
i do feel sorry for vicki because everyone is ganging up on her for the same reasons that others have been hypocritical about. so she called out slade and gretchen in the past. big freakin deal. i don’t like them anyways. i don’t get why she gets most of the backlash. inspite of her mistakes she is still a hard working mother and grandmother with feelings and i have compassion for anyone that has feelings and admits mistakes. obviously tamra doesn’t have any because she truly doesn’t see that she’s mean. she tries to justify and make excuses for why she attacks others. there is no excuse. you’re either mean or you’re not and tamra is mean.
What was the concern? Vicky being separated? Her kids not accepting him because she’s had an “emotional” affair for years with the “new man she loves”? Why have the renewal if vows with that other guy in the corner…even if Don was cheating for all that time and she was aware if it..,.they hid it well for years on this show! What she “leaves out” is more telling then what she implied.
She is the Queen for slight of hand, or mouth, in this case. Tamara is no angel and neither may Eddie be….but her implications are ever constant where Tamara will just spurt it out. Vicky was weaving through her marriage of mirrors. Tricked us all for feeling bad for her but seriously….if Don was messing around why stay in the marriage? 20 years is unforgivable! That’s not a one night stand and from the Cabo comment I am sure she felt justified….so how many trips was she taking? Din said she was gone all the time. Sounds like fun and work was on her agenda! Woo F’N Hoo..
why stay for 20years? maybe because she loved him and wanted to work it out. she is not the only woman in the world that has done that. both men and women have stayed in abused, loveless, unhappy marriages because of pride, love, kids or financial reasons kept them in the marriage. people are acting like vicki was a horrible person for cheating is wrong since don was doing it way before her and for many years but yet vicki is getting a hard time about it. very double standard.
LJ,
The rift between Gretchen and Tamara would be burnt out at some point. What I don’t u d’état and is why it was a big deal when the two me des the rift. Vicky was spending more time with her new man, recall her comments to the other women about the time spent with their men? It makes no sense! It seems she lied about wanting them to get along. Vicky has been rude to them when they were together on the show. The sixth grade comments and then Alexis went right along with it. But Vic didn’t stop there, she kept pushing in Costa Rica after the argument. She was ridden shotgun by Alexis but she agreed with the other girls. She tried to bring it down but she still in the end agreed. But Alexis has no beef about that? Odd very odd. I’d bid and say “that didn’t feel very good did it? Karma is real” and left it at that.
Remember the trip to Catalina – there weren’t any problems with Brooks then. She even put his hand on her breast.
The fact she is choosing to stay with a man who is just one red flag after another just screams I have no self esteem or worth. It seems she is so desperate for attention and love that she will do whatever it is to “feel” like she has it. I’m sorry but there is no way in hell I would stay with a man if EVERYONE in my life is telling me to run in the other direction! You can’t be that blind, I don’t care who you are. It’s almost like she’s a child rebeling against her “parents” and is going to do what she wants and embarrass the hell out of herself along the way. Clearly she is childlike in her relationships and I guarantee her daughter would have said even more at that reunion if Gretchen hadn’t stepped in and took over the convo and Vicki got the chance to tell Brianna to shut up….. Vicki is drinking the Brooks koolaid.
Have to agree w/ you tifey!! Its so sad to see a grwon woman behave that way and sacrifice her own morals and values to get that feeling!
Great point about 20/20 being legit…..
Won’t be surprised when she “addresses the rumors”
Vicki is a liar and a hypocrite. She wants to have a good working relationship with Gretchen? Since when? She has been dogging Gretchen’s businesses, her looks and her boyfriend, and no matter how many times Gretchen tried to smooth things over, vicki never allowed it to happen. Now she’s just mad that Tamra has made up with Gretchen, and is no longer co-signing her childish behavior.
I really think that Gretchen and Tamra confessed their sins to each other and are in a good place. Why does Vicki want to ruin that?
Cammi……..we agree!!!!
Holy cow…..can you believe it?????
Vicki is gross…..
Brooks is grosser….
They deserve each other.
haha I bet if we spent an afternoon together we’d agree about a lot more Srt_3!
Probably……I have been brought over regarding some issues….now we just have to get you to like Brandi and we are all set!!
Drinks on me then!!!
LOL GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE!
I agree! Vicki wants all the attention from everyone in her life! Alexis acted like she even took part in wanting Gretch and Tam to make up, but she didn’t and either did Vicki! I wonder of Vicki thought Slade would woo her after Laurie, lol? Maybe she is jelly of that too, lol!! ( I’m kidding
)
Ok, I just threw up in my mouth a bit……
Thanks.
That’s hysterical! Lol! She did seem very jealous of Laurie and George’s relationship, too…but in a nice way.
I have watched all the HW franchises since the beginning. (Exceot DC and Miami……yuck)
Anyhoo…..the show has completely changed. All it is now is women from different parts of the country arguing and starting shit with one another. And now it just isn’t funny or interesting. It is more who is more who is the bigger bitch and who calls out the other better and more??? After watching NJ I am kind of losing interest…..these women should be ashamed of themselves.
That being said…..I still watch..every week. My problem with Vicki is she is so “do as I say, not as I do.” I like Tamra and can still find her a little too frank for my comfort. However, I do think Tamra admits fault when needed to. I wouldn’t call her maturing, but the fact that both she and Gretchen have moved on from all the vile things said in the past, I kind of admire. Vicki feels so completely left out and that is the problem. She’s the odd man out and can’t stand it!!
Vicki is looking at Brooks through rose colored glasses and just can’t see him for the creepy guy he is. He is just creepy!!! And the fact that she stays with him after a reputable show like 20/20 shows him for what he is makes her the biggest hypocrite ever. I wish they showed past moments when she was horrific throughout the last few seasons.
Srt_3 I totally agree w/ you about all the franchises becoming a big bullying and degrading eachother bash fest! Its getting so draining just to watch! The first 2 seasons of NJ were my FAVORITE! I loved and watched them religiosly. But w/ the ganging up on Teresa and the disgusting behavior of the other 4 women being bullies I now no longer watch! I actually go to this to get a recap because I cant stand bullies and I do not condone it. It makes me sick the inner-fighting among these women! They have so many things to be grateful for! Its just getting old!
Excellent post Srt_3!! You did not miss anything on Miami and DC- same crap different show
You must’ve missed the “real” story SRT. 20/20 was all wrong and poor old Crooks, I mean Brooks, didn’t have a chance to tell what “really” happened. LOL!!
“I wish her and Slade a lifetime of happiness and am glad that he has seemed to come out to the drama that was focused on him a few years back. Looks like all that has shifted towards Brooks this season. Wonderful!”
Oh Vicki.. I see what you did there. *eyeroll*
And funny since YOU were the one who focused the criticism. Oh and we absolutely do NOT “all have issues from our past” like Brooks has ISSUES. Let’s at least be honest about that.
She is right about Tamra – she is the biggest phony of them all. She would NEVER be with a man who could not support her. She is gross.
I’m not gonna defend Tamra but….there are lots of women who will cross a man off the “eligible” list because they don’t have a job! It’s tough out there ladies and gentlemen, but a guy without a job who can’t support his children is not the one for me-unless I hit the lottery and he’s got *other* talents…
What other talents I might ask??
Writing affirmations????
OHH camm- you are thinking like a dirty girl right there, lol!! Im totally kidding, but I think I know what you mean!
Haha both you girls know EXACTLY what I mean! Lol
I actually liked the beginning of her blog- then she went south! Tamra did not strain their friendship- it was Vicki and mostly because of her hypocrisy. NO ONE likes Brooks. She drove wedges in Tamra and Simon’s marriage. Now she is all up Crooks Brooks butt. Vicki is self-centered. Tamra may be a biatch at times, but Vicki is to blame for the friend demise. Tamra tried to tell her, honestly , how she felt about Brooks and Vick wanted to hear none of it.They all wanted everyone to get along and make up , but the minute they do, the others are miserable and play blame games.
Michers, always love reading your comments. Have noticed a lot lately… Hope it is bc you are resting on a beach somewhere….:) ITA regarding Vicki and her hypocrisy and Tamra trying to be honest. Sometimes, with rose you are closest, you have to say things that aren’t always nice. But, I rather my BFF tell me something than someone who doesn’t know me well. That’s the problem…especially with Vicki. She always thought she knew everything!! I hated that…and I can’t wait till part 2 when V says, “just bc you say something doesn’t make it true.” umm…yeah, ya think????
I have read through all the posts on this one and some others. Some were commenting in Gretchen and how she was proven a liar regarding an affair while with Jeff. I don’t recall any of that. Do you remember treading any of that way back when?? I always thoughht she was really in love with Jeff. Was that not the case?
Keep commenting……love reading them!!!
I have read a ton about Gretchen and that whole mess with jeff. If you go to website called http://www.thedirty.com and put in Gretchen Rossi under the search engine and start way at the beginning it starts with that guy who is suing her I forget his name and his whole story. It is basically the whole thing that I had said that in more detail. This is why I find it weird that tamera could just forgive Gretchen because she really did lie about her whole relationship with Jeff I believe. Plus I don’t understand how Gretchen could ever really forgive tamera for all the scandalous stuff she is told to blogs and tabloids. Plus the whole reunion last caring calling slow sleeves ex-wife in the middle of it. I just don’t get going from mortal enemies to BFFs. I just don’t think you can trust each other. Also, I am sure it is no longer up but Gretchens blog, the one that tamera asked her two seasons ago to take down, Gretchen wrote some pretty scandalous stuff about Tamaraand Simon. I can’t remember it all right now but basically insinuating that in the middle of a reunion Simon had texted all of them at the same time telling them on the camera was a pathological liar. It was crazy. But the bottom line for me is I think the camera and Gretchen are both complete liars.
Sorry for all the errors in that post I realize I’m doing this on my phone and didn’t catch them! Sorry!
Hey !! Well, thats why Tamra really had beef with Gretchen long ago! Tamra was getting phone calls from a young man saying he was off screen boyfriend or boy toy to Gretchen! Simon took some of the phone calls himself. Tamra addressed this during the first reunion show with Gretchen. Gretchen of course denied- but got herself tangled in some lies on the show. Said the guy was a stalker, she did not know him, then he was her “friend” that she gave a ride home too after a party, but she tossed him out of her car when he touched her leg! Thats why Tamra had issues wither crying over Jeff and said nasty things about her- thats why I defended Tamra, lol. Anywhoo, now after watching clip of part 2 of next week’s reunion, it seems Gretchen mumble to the affect of cheating when Vicki was called out for it@ Gretch calls Vicki hypocrite for” doing same thing I did”- meaning possibly SHE DID cheat on Jeff??? I wish I was still at the beach! My hubby is on block leave ( pre-deployment) and kids are off, so we have been on vaca , now home chilling in between baseball games( this place is my therapy /venting zone often) I missed commenting all last week- making up for lost time
This is for Srt_3!!! ^
Michers, is your hubby in the military? Ok, so much respect for him and you!! Seriously……god bless him for his service to protect our country. I completely understand this as a therapy/ venting zone….I hide it from my hubby bc he would NEVER understand…..lol!
I am gonna go look at that site..thanks Jodell!!!!
Yes he is!! I try not to say anything too personal on here, as I had such a nasty run in with some trolling freakazoid already, lol!! I can not stand to have my blood pressure go up because of an idiot like that, again! Aww, thank you! I will tell him
When Im on here , he walks by laughing about me ” blogging”..
P.S. This also got Gretchen in quite a bit of legal trouble after Jeff passed away ( God rest his soul). Because of this other man, it endangered her of not getting Jeff’s money he left her. Tamra was making it worse for her, as she stated that on the Reunion, I think..She acted like she was still close to his kids, but when all was said and done, we don’t see or hear about his kids do we? Also, Tamra first called her bluff when Jeff was in hospital- do you remember when Tamra said ” you went to Bass Lake?” Gretchen went and partied on camera while Jeff was in the hospital!
Yep Michers!!! You are correct about all that! In this case Tamra was right. I knew Gretchen was lying. I could tell her body mannersisims, facial expressions, and her behavior. I just watched it on the reruns on Bravo the other day. So now what Im wondering is did Gretchen get the money he left her?
Btw….I totally think this blog needs a chat room……I need a little “interaction” at times.
God, my life is boring…..
Strt_3…. You read my mind and I laughed out loud when you said your life being boring since my husband was just teasing me about the same thing lol! Told me I neede to find other things to do w/ life lol!
I agree! I would love a chat room! Also here’s another piece of gossip…Gretchen had all that stuff written about her on http://www.thedirty.com the guy who runs that site is named Nik Ritchie. He is married to Shayna lamas who has been rumored to be possibly being cast on the OC housewives. Well on that website they trash Gretchen repeatedly. On WWHL Tamera even told viewers to go to that website to read all about Gretchen (when they were enemies) But in an interview somebody asked Tamara her thoughts on Shayna lamas about being cast on the show and Tamera said “wow that would bring a lot of drama” and the reason it would bring drama is because the website trashes Gretchen so bad and she is married to the guy who runs the website.
I went to the site and searched under Gretchen Rossi and it froze or something. Gonna keep trying…..
Question…..how many times is too many to keep coming back to this blog? I think I have met the quota……
My kids are occupied. My husband is out playing hockey.
And here I am…….
Yep, no life.
Geez louise!!!! Strt_3 your cracking me up! I was wondering the same thing. Im home alone and my sons playing/ House is cleaned and theres nothing else to do…Lol
Looks like we are all living the same life! LOL! Kids are playing and husband is laying down….just bored and appppppparently gossiping about Housewives is my life! Lol!
Jodell- I looked that stuff up on The Dirty and all I can say is WOW!!! Learned quite the horrid dirt on old Gretchen! Thanks for that site!
LJ
I know crazy, huh? I was floored when I read all of it! Both slade and Gretchen are con artists….so it isn’t surprising at all she would straight up lie about lip injections and extensions!
HEHE!! Sometimes I laugh so hard at these comments, the screen names. I love the laughs!
Ha!! Hello, look at me, lol !!! This is my break stop, between working on things, classes, kids, sports( they play everything on every team), the hubby’ s schedule, household duties!! I do not really sleep much, can you tell? Oh yes and the volunteering and military mumbo jumbo meetings and what not!! Its cool, we are having fun ( when the meanies are not lurking)…
For LJ and Srt_3 ( sorry I added on to someone’s comment!)
Ok…this is sad. Truly. Seriously. Sad. I just got up…..what is the first thing I did??? Came on this blog to see what else has be written.
Umm…..did I just admit that??
Erase it!!!
Wait…..I will just deny, deny, deny!!!!!
Then maybe I can be an OC housewife!
Well, I live in Ma, haven’t ever gotten Botox, hate wearing confining clothes, have real, saggy boobs, tend to not fight with my friends, don’t really have any enemies, and am kind of a nice person.
I guess it wouldn’t work out……boo.
This week, I think I have broken a record of coming on here. maybe stress related?
Oh lordie Michers! This is great! This is like therapry or alcoholics annonymous for us lol! I love talking to so many of the people on here! (the ones who politely disagree w/ you lol) This is the only site I truly am comfortable commenting on because almost evryone respects your opinion even if its not the same!Michers you should really go look at the site Jodell suggested! I was blown away by all the legal doccuments they had pics of and emails of Gretchen being a con-artist! To think I useed to adore her!??! I really do wish we all had a chatroom though!
I will most def check it out! I never adored her, but had hopes for her trying to find herself . Then again she is with Slade, the Serial housewife hunter, lol..
Ladies, I really enjoy coming on here and reading all comments, whether they agree or disagree with me. I seem to notice the same names and have only had a few experiences with “non-nice” posters. It really is like therapy. Now, if only it wasn’t 8am I would have a glass of wine next to me and be hiding from my husband as a type……
A chat room would be so great….closest thing to a chat room is twitter, I guess.
I have some thoughts/questions I would like to share…..and they aren’t directed at one cast member in particular, rather just some thoughts.
The last couple of days I have been reading all the comments regarding the OC, mainly bc the reunion was just on. I have been commenting a lot but I have some questions. I am hoping some of you commmenters see this and share your opinion, too, I went on the dirty.com and read about Gretchen and have listened to the OC ladies call each other out about everything. Here is my question….what the hell is the truth? Who is lying? Who isn’t? I always like Gretchen and always thought she was being truthful regarding her feelings for Jeff. But now am wondering…..is she completely full of shit? Bc I am a true believer that just bc something is said/ written doesn’t make it the truth.
So, does Alexis really have emails? Did Vicki really wake up naked next to a man? I have all the questions now bc someone is blatantly lying. Or, is it all based on perception? I am a believer in perception, meaning we all see things differently. Which makes whatever the case may be, my truth. Maybe not your truth, as your perception is different.
I guess I am questioning all,of this bc I haven’t ever blatantly lied to someone. I just can’t imagine doing that.
All my questions makes me feel like I am back Ina philosophy class….
Have I mentioned I love this site! Can we list out twitter handles so I can add you guys so we can talk during shows? Mine is @jlbryan38..so if you want to add me that would be great!
Ok so in response to your question here is my take on the subject. I do agree that after reading that website it does kind of leave you questioning whose liars and who isn’t. And this is sort of where Iheirs agree with others on this site ecause I personally believe the same way about New Jersey. I think in New Jersey every single one of them are hiding something and they are each calling shenanigans on the next guy.
I personally believe all this about Gretchen. She’s been sued several times. She is in the middle of that lawsuit with that guy who claims she was having a relationship with him when she was with jeff. In my own world I feel like where there’s smoke there’s fire, Like when there’s lawsuits usually people have a case to file a lawsuit most people don’t want to just pay lawyers fees for no reason. Now some may argue that there are you know golddiggers out there just looking to sue somebody famous to see if they can get money. I do not believe this is the case with Gretchen. I do believe she is a liar in the first degree. This is why I have the hardest time understanding Tamraz relationship with Gretchen. Tamarat was the one who exposed a lot of stuff about Gretchen as far as her lies go. I think that they are friends now because they saw what happened to the New York cast. Four women getting fired was a big deal. People were sick of the same old arguments being brought up over and over again. And Gretchen and tamera had been arguing over the same thing for three years. I think there both scam artists. I think they both got together and said hey let’s take everything in a different direction. I think they called a truce. I do think that once they stopped fighting they really did realize they had a lot in common and kind of enjoyed being around each other. But I just think that all all of the women on all of the shows have lies they are hiding their skeletons in all their closets and they try to cover them up. I think there’s a lot that we have viewers do not know or see. And maybe Alexis does treat the crew like crap? Who really knows I don’t know. But she is definitely going to call out Gretchen and start throwing things at Gretchen to deflect off of herself. Much like you know next week they call out Vicky and then Vicky tries to deflect on to Tamara and then Tamera really throws it back at Vicky. They all are hiding stuff and that’s what it all and throwing each other under the bus.
Again I remeber Tamarat telling the world about Gretchen and her vibrator nude pics being all over the internet. Disgusting pics, but now Tamara is her “friend”. Both clearly manipulative. And what vague job does Eddie do to support Tamara. She clearly only has income form the show.
