If anyone was depending on Real Housewives of Orange County for their whole life, it was definitely Gretchen Rossi. Unfortunately, Gretchen found herself fired from the franchise along with cast mate Alexis Bellino. No one on the cast has said anything regarding their departure, until recently when fans tweeted Vicki Gunvalson blaming her for Gretchen’s firing. Vicki wasn’t going to be blamed for Gretchen’s departure, so she was sure to point the blame in the right direction. Check out what Vicki had to say
Also, Tamra Barney responded via Twitter to a fan regarding if Gretchen was in Hawaii filming with the rest of the cast
Usually Gretchen fights back with the ladies when they write something on Twitter about her, yet, she only responded to a fan giving her a compliment about not being “catty” with a simple, “Thanks love.”
Gretchen has yet to release an official statement on her departure, which is odd since she made an announcement when Alexis “copied” her haircut, but I’m sure it’s because she is probably embarrassed. She depended a lot on this show not only for her business ventures, but also wanting a wedding special, and having a baby on TV and the money that would come from it. I honestly think she took her spot on the show for granted as well, especially since friend Nene Leakes reassured her she was one of the only entertaining one’s on the show. Bravo has not announced anything as well, but Andy Cohen did say that he let’s the housewives announce their departure in their own way. Maybe that Fiat commercial was a parting gift? Either way, I have a feeling we will only see Gretchen and Slade get married if there’s money involved. How do you guys feel about Gretchen leaving? Do you think it was her time to go?
