RHOC alum Gretchen Rossi fires back after fans criticize her changing looks after appearing on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast.
Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi found herself on the receiving end of some nasty comments about her looks from Bravo fans while promoting her appearance on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast.
On Wednesday, Bravo shared clips of Gretchen Rossi’s appearance on their Hot Mic podcast where she discussed her time on the Real Housewives of Orange County with executive producer Alex Baskin.
Fan quickly rushed to the comment section to share their unsolicited thoughts on Gretchen Rossi’s looks.
“What did she do to her face?” one fan commented.
A second fan wrote, ” Man she got old.”
“Omg whatever she [is] doing to her face I hope she stops! She was always the pretty one to me,” a fourth fan commented.
“She looks 78,” another fan quipped.
Gretchen fired back directly at her critics.
“Not too shabby for never having plastic surgery and being 46,” Gretchen replied to one comment.
She also insisted that she’s done “nothing” to her face which is “probably the problem,” adding, “it’s just called being 15 years older.”
Some fans came to Gretchen’s defense in the comments section as well.
“The comments here are disgusting. Shame on all of you who are spreading so much fate about her face,” a fan wrote with others calling the Bravo alum “beautiful” and a “class act.”
To be fair, Bravo fans are used to seeing highly filtered photos of Gretchen Rossi on social media. The below photo is a prime example of the photos Gretchen typically posts on social media.
Gretchen joined RHOC in 2008 at the age of 30. She is not 45 about to turn 46. Aging is part of life. Filter or not I think Gretchen looks great and I think fans just were not used to seeing her without the filter.
The Real Housewives of Orange County will return for season 18 in mid-to-late 2024.
