gretchyI hate liars and given the opportunity, I love calling them out on it! Lets take a trip down memory lane and revisit “Story #6″ on Gretchen Rossi’s blog. 

Gretchen writes on her blog→ “Story #6 Tamra having to show up in court! What a flipping joke this one is. For the record I didn’t just NOT show up for my own court case. I DROPPED the case the day before it was even heard in court……I not only texted her the night before but then again the morning confirming that the case had been withdrawn. Tamra knew the case had been taken off calendar because Jay’s attorney would have called all the people who Jay wanted to testify the night before to let them know. But low and behold guess who still shows up to court……Tamra. Then surprise surprise she talks to press and spins her lies again, claiming she found it very strange that I didn’t show up for this case, when she knew damn well the day before I was dropping the case and the reasons for it. Then Tamra goes on to say that it “shows my real character”, and all she wants to do is “tell the truth”. So where was the truth in any of that? I was like is she serious? She flat out lied again, says one thing to me and another to the press. The funniest part is she actually made me believe that she was concerned for me for a minute in our exchange of texts. I fell for her two-faced B.S. again. Oh and she was the only witness that showed up to court, all the other people Jay was calling to the stand didn’t show up. Something sounds fishy to me there.”

There has been so much debate surrounding the infamous court case. The following email was written by Jay’s attorney, I think it clearly states what really happened and hopefully will put those (uh-hem) rumors, allegations and lies to rest.  Click mage below to view

TAMRA-BARNEY-COURT

The day prior to this hearing, attorney’s for both parties had met. It was after this meeting that Jay was told by his attorney Gretchen was ‘working on the wording for a public apology.’ (there was never a public apology) Although Jay’s attorney states he required Tamra’s presence in court, Gretchen makes it clear there was no need for her to show up because she had “texted her the night before…” Is Gretchen an attorney too? Would this be considered witness tampering? Gretchen, also states Tamra was the only witness that showed up to court. According to the attorney, there were a total of over 10 witnesses, 5 of which were present and 6 others, police officers (yes, police officers) placed on a 1 hour “on-call” status.
Damn lies, they always catch up to you…sooner or later!As Jay’s attorney said, I hope this provides the clarification you were seeking…. :)

Calling Slade a “douche bag”, Tamra dished on his girlfriend saying Gretchen was “always lying,” especially about the allegations that she was cheating on her dying fiancé Jeff Bietzel. Tamra upped the ante telling RadarOnline.com “I challenged you, Gretchen Christine Rossi for a lie detector test. If you pass, I will forgive you.”

I have intentionally avoided reading the “wives” weekly blogs on Bravo TV this season. Getting through the episodes each week has just been painful enough. After reading a few comments on the WWW, curiosity got the best of me and I could not resist.
Yes, I poured salt in my own wound.
I read Saint Gretchen’s blog.
Boy she’s a thorough one. Leaving no stone overturned, she discusses last weeks episode addressing situations both good (her’s) and bad (everyone else’s)
A concise interpretation: disingenuous, egocentric, narcissistic, martyr.
Thoughts and questions:

Obviously staying in touch with Jeff’s kids is very important to me. They are my only remaining connection to Jeff and as I said, it truly helps keep his memory alive in me. I love them so much, and sometimes probably too much, because I see how protective I am over them and their decisions in life. Unfortunately, last year there was a lot said by some of Jeff’s ex wives about my relationship with the kids and if this doesn’t show the contrary to their distasteful words, I don’t know what would.

Obviously…top priority! Why wait almost a year to go see them? Why were Bravo’s cameras there? Who does that? Someone so protective of them would have their best interest at heart and would not be dragging them through this circus again. Protecting them would be respecting their personal lives and giving them their much deserved privacy. Not putting them in front of a camera for the sake of trying to make a point. This visit to Michigan didn’t show or prove anything. The relationship is what it is. (BTW, distasteful is professing concern for someone  only to follow it with a negative comment about a person they love.)

Jake’s tattoo of his Dad brought tears to my eyes. Jill said it so eloquently when she said it’s not only is hurtful to hear people insult me, but that it is also insulting her father and her family. To me that speaks volumes.”

Speaking of tattoo’s, I found it odd that Why didn’t Gretchen share her “Jeffrey” tattoo…if she had it done as a tribute to Jeff, wouldn’t she want to show it to his kids? Did the cameras just happen to miss that? Jill can be assured, what is said about someone else is not a reflection of her father or her family. There seems to be only one person making this about them. (And, that speaks volumes to me!)

“Jake has since met Slade and really liked him. Jill is talking about coming out soon for a visit and is excited to meet him as well. It is important to have their approval as well since I value it so much.”

I bet Jake just loved Slade and with all that Jill has heard about him, we can probably bet she’ll feel the same way. Isn’t it just like the Gretchen we all know to always consider others feelings?

“I have to say it just sometimes makes me laugh out loud they way we sometimes run ourselves over with a bus! Vicki means well with her daughter of course but that was way weird and uncomfortable for me to watch. I felt so bad for Briana! It reminded me to never do that to my kids!

A bus? Oh like when people do things and then find out, just how bad of an idea it was? No, uncomfortable is watching Slade parade around with some little kids sock on while minors are present. Uncomfortable is constantly hearing references about “getting some.”  Uncomfortable is watching 2 adults play tonsil hockey with cameras 6 inches away. Uncomfortable is listening to you continue…

“Unfortunately Tamra, even after her apology to me recently, made some pretty nasty comments about Slade to a tabloid magazine this past week and I was asked to respond to the comments they sent over to me. I personally get upset because it disappoints me that she is so quick to judge others when things in her own home are not going well, and of course I love Slade and don’t like people talking about things they don’t know anything about, which Tamra does often. She said in the article that she considers raising her kids very important and takes it very personally, and then makes some crass comments about Slade’s parenting. Is it just me or did I miss something?…This is why I don’t like to judge people.”

Damn it Tamra! How could you? Poor Saint Gretchen, always the victim.
Actually, Slade’s parenting skills are hardly a secret, so I’m going to take a chance and say Tamra does know what she’s talking about. Also, I have also never heard Tamra claim things to be perfect in her life. Oh, and yes you did miss something. Doesn’t that last sentence kinda contradict the rest of the paragraph? Just saying

“Speaking of parenting, I cannot imagine how hard it is to have kids. I had a lot of concerns after seeing Alexa a few times, because she was saying things that worried me. I spoke up to Lynne about it and it unfortunately caused a wedge between us which you will see play out this season, but I stayed true to my belief that I much rather jeopardize a friendship then see a kid hurt or make a poor decision because I was afraid to approach my friend about it and be responsible..Even Lynne says in this episode “the girls don’t want to tell us anything” and this is very important to notice, because this was the exact point that I made to Lynne when we talked and her and I fought about just that.”

If I could just interject here; No, parenting is not easy. If you are feeling so high and mighty and responsible, and want to stay true to your beliefs, maybe you should focus on your life and the people in it. I would think Lynne’s kids would be the least of your concerns, considering….
Or are some relationships not worth jeopardizing?

“Wow, how amazing is Alexis’ necklace? I mean really? That truly was one of the most thoughtful and beautiful pieces of jewelry I have ever seen! Now let me also say that I don’t think they did Jim any justice in that scene. He adores Alexis and would never repeat 7 carrots that many times in a row.”

carrots

What? How many carrots?? 7 carrots? Aww…I shouldn’t tease her, she might think I’m judging her. She probably just couldn’t concentrate…feeling all weird and uncomfortable from watching Briana’s date. Maybe she’s been in shock about Tamara running to the tabloid magazine and can’t concentrate. It could just be that it’s hard to type and pat yourself on the back at the time (poor things gotta be tired!) What ever the reason,
we know it’s going to be someone else’s fault…
it always is.



I think these speak for themselves.

CMPD MEM

Gretchen Rossi appears less than chipper and not quite on her game in this interview with T.V. Guide. Poor thing, I could only imagine how exhausting her life is being a fame whore celebrity and all. It’s evident by her answers, she is either suffering from fatigue, or she just didn’t have a clear understanding of the questions. Although, I’m sure you already know what she meant to say, I thought I would help clarify a few things. Gosh, I really hope she’s feeling better soon! :)

What ended up happening with Tamra and your ‘boyfriend’ at the end of the season?

Well, Jay and I were fine for awhile, he even met a few of the other wives which was kind of cool. He dumped my ass broke up with me February 9th though. I have to admit, when Tamra called us out on The Reunion Show, I kind of freaked out and denied Jay was my boyfriend. (Now that I think about it, I had originally  told Jay I defended him when his name was brought up. Whoops!) Now, I didn’t want everyone to know to look like a liar and lose that whole fame whore celebrity status thing I had going on, so I just said Tamra was lying and then went with the  stalker story. I tried to cover all my bases by getting a restraining order. I said Jay had threatened my life, stole “pictures” from me, you know, was trying to make money off my name, just little things like that. I don’t really think too many people are buying it, but that’s how I roll…this is all about me, not them!

(Obviously, our exhausted fame whore celebrity has a case of the brain farts. Now between you and me, I would have stuck with one story. Didn’t she say on the premier that the “pictures” were taken during her Britney Spears moments-hanging out with the wrong crowd-dark place? Also, how would Jay steal the “pictures” if she wasn’t dating him? Details, details)

So you’re dating Slade now, how did that happen so fast? And now he’ll be on the show?

Well, you got that right! Slade’s actually a big reason Jay dumped my ass broke up with me. Besides my family, Slade was the only one that called every day to see if I was o.k…not that I always picked up the phone. Most of the time I was out with Jay having fun, whether it was going to get a tattoo, going to dinner, Bass Lake, or just hanging out on a yacht with the new wife, Alexis. Slade and I have been friends for like 8 years, many people probably don’t know that. It really didn’t surprise me when he wanted to shack up hang out all the time before Jay even had a chance to move any of his stuff out…that reminds me, I need to finish cleaning out the garage.
Yes, of course he’s on the show. That’s a given…what else would he do? We have a lot in common, we both love the paparazzi photography, talking in baby voices and neither one of us really like to take resposibility for our actions. There were 2 other wives Slade had shacked up hung out with but they aren’t there anymore. You know how they say the third one’s a charm, I don’t believe for a minute that is the case for us. It’s not like Jeff’s my money is going to last forever!

You and Tamra have a confrontation in the Season 5 Premier. How does that come about?

Yeah we did. She just doesn’t stop. All I ever hear is how tired she is of hearing all the lies, the conflicting stories and being caught in the middle. Is she kidding me? I have to tell those lies and then try to keep them all straight. I told her at the Season 4 Reunion to say that Jay in an old boyfriend, because that’s what I was going with.

(Uh-oh, I smell hear suspect another brain fart coming on. We know it’s about you Gretchen but sticking to just one story would be so much easier. How will you explain the date you said you met here?)

She just needs to shut the F up, everyone needs to shut the F up. I really don’t care who my lies affect. It’s about me…I am the victim.

As we reported, Jay Photoglou appeared in court last month to recover attorney fees he had incurred in defense of the Temporary Restraining Order, filed by Gretchen Rossi in March of this year.  The judge took the days proceedings under submission and said he would let all parties know the outcome. Dated 10/22/09, the following Under Submission Ruling states, ‘having fully considered the arguments of all parties, both written and oral, as well as the evidence presented rules as follows. The motion for Attorney’s Fees is granted the amount of $18,650.00 plus costs of $250.00.’

There’s more…from the allegations to pictures, court documents and emails, the truth is pretty evident. This all proves to tell a very different story than the one(s) Ms. Rossi tells. As far as I know, the above Memorandum was never disputed which I find very interesting. Kinda speaks for itself…just saying!

Congratulations Jay! :)

Real eyes realize real lies…

The following interview was posted on Fox News yesterday. It was a teensy weensy article, but boy did it speak volumes !!! LOL

Exclusive: Gretchen Rossi Bites Back at Former Friend

Gretchen Rossi recently told Tarts about her decision not to go under the knife in order to be a responsible role model and instead create The Gretchen Project to spotlight alternatives to plastic surgery, prompting her former friend Jay Photoglou to pretty much label her as a liar.
“I went with Gretchen to get Botox injections on at least on two occasions, one time I even had Botox injections,” Jay told RadarOnline.com on Friday.
“Gretchen went at least every six weeks to get Botox injection while I dated her. She also had photo facials done every two months to help get rid of her wrinkles.”
However it’s Rossi who is having the last laugh at her former flame, who she filed a restraining order against in March of this year although it was later dismissed by a judge.
“Everything this person states is false information, and just goes to show why I started the Gretchen Project. Botox and photo facials are alternative routes to going under the knife,” Rossi responded exclusively to Tarts. “Plastic surgery involves cutting, not fillers and laser treatments. He is a FAME WHORE!”

Where to start…
• 1st of all this article first refers to Jay Photoglou as her former friend, who has labeled her as a liar. A few lines down, Jay is referred to as her former flame, with whom she filed a Restraining Order against. So is it, friend? Or is it flame? Does this sound familiar? Reunion Show?
• 2nd Gretchen did not file a Restraining Order against Photoglou, she filed a Ex Parte Application for a Restraining Order. (An ex parte motion asks for a court order before the other party has an opportunity to be heard on your request. The need for an ex parte, order might exist in circumstances when: you have a good faith belief that your safety is in immediate danger, to take actions which will cause immediate or irreparable injury to you, or your property.) She was granted a Temporary Restraining Order, that was later dismissed with prejudice at a hearing. There is a big difference.
• 3rd Gretchen is then quoted as saying, “Everything this person states is false information…” Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement! Would that be considered Libel? I mean if you take into account, one of these two has a boat load of documents, emails, and pictures to back up his their story, and she the other one, well not so much!

2008-top-5-minimally-invasi• 4th Gretchen is quoted as saying, “Plastic surgery involves cutting, not fillers and laser treatments…” O.K. raise your hand if you think the person- Gretchen Rossi- who created the Gretchen Project- which spotlights alternatives to plastic surgery …should have an understanding what plastic surgery is? Fillers and laser treatment ARE plastic surgery. Invasive procedures are when cutting of a patient’s tissues or closure of a previously sustained wound is involved.  Minimally invasive procedure is any procedure (surgical or otherwise) that is less invasive than open surgery used for the same purpose. Non-invasive surgery refers to an excision that does not penetrate the structure being excised. (So…in other words, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, say yes, Botox, Photofacials, Laser treatments and Fillers ARE PLASTIC SURGERY)

Yeah, somebody might want to study up on that…just saying. As far as Ms. Rossi having the last laugh, I highly doubt that. There’s not much that can top this!!!
LOL, O.K. we can all put our hands down now…

When contacted yesterday to do this interview for Radar Online, Jay Photoglou was bothered by the fact that the article done the day prior in the O.C. Register had made reference to Gretchen Rossi obtaining a Restraining Order against him. This reference had also been made in a few other O.C. Register articles. As Radar Online states at the end of this story, there was a Temporary Restraining Order issued, not a Restraining Order, there is a big difference! The Temporary Restraining Order was later Dismissed With Prejudice in May of this year.

The pictures shown in this article were taken on Valentines Day 2008. This would further shown Gretchen and Jay were in a relationship even before Gretchen was approached to do The Real Housewives Of Orange County. Gretchen had proclaimed that she was engaged to Jeff Beitzel…so why was it she did not even get an “engagement ring” until June?

Apparently Gretchen Rossi loves red, and it’s a damn good thing…because I’m sure she’s going to be seeing a lot of it!! Wowzers! :o

And Jay Photoglou also laughs at her claims that she wants to be a role model. He provided RadarOnline.com with some exclusive photographs of Gretchen bowling in sexy lingerie!

Rossi says she’s just started The Gretchen Project to find help others find “alternative ways to maintain everlasting beauty without having to go under the knife.”

Radar Online has the full scoop….(did I say Wowzers yet??)
