As the truth continues to unfold, we see more evidence of the real relationship Gretchen Rossi shared with Jay Photoglou. Would we have ever even learned of “the arrangement” had Jay’s name not been mentioned on the reunion show? Could this have all played out in the media differently? This e-mail exchange between Jay Photoglou and Gretchen Rossi is quite interesting, as Gretchen is given yet another opportunity to…for lack of a better term, tell the truth. This exchange took place 10 days after the reunion show was filmed.

UPDATED August 7th 11:00 p.m.

A few days ago we posted a document that was filed in court by Gretchen Rossi, “Jay timeline and document.”
In that, she gives states the date they met and the role Jay Photoglou played in her life.
“…a friend of mine that I confided in…it became very clear he wanted more…I became dependent on him for many things. Helping around the house…I agreed to do the show and Jay has ever since used it as a platform to defame me and hurt my name with.”

On October 7th, 3 weeks after Jeff Beitzel passed away and 1 day before Jay and Gretchen would get the infamous, now you see it, now you don’t tattoo’s, Gretchen sent Jay the following e-mail, a “List of Things to do….”

Hmmm….no comment.

UPDATED August 8th 4:00 a.m.

These pictures were taken during the week of January 1-7, 2009 while on
vacation at Bass Lake. This was 3 weeks before the filming of
The Real Housewives of O.C. Reunion Show.

The truth…

There is so much more to this…watch for updates!!

Did Gretchen Rossi and Jay Photoglou have their names tattooed on each others ring fingers? Although Gretchen has claimed  she has always had a ring finger tattoo with Jeff Beitzel’s name, there was never a tattoo visible during the show. These pictures are interesting, to say the least!!

This picture was taken 10/17/2008, the date can be confirmed in the camera properties.

This was taken at a premier party I threw for Gretchen at i lounge in O.C. right after the Bravo party at Sutra that Bravo threw, it was taken on 11/25/2008.

This one was submitted by Gretchen to a reporter who was going to break the RING FINGER story. Gretchen stated she has always had a ring finger tattoo, but with Jeff’s name. The address in the background  was Slade’s address. Slade did not move in until Jan 2008, this picture is dated March 2007. *Interesting her nails are identical in both pictures…23 months apart.

With a newspaper date of February 2009, this picture was submitted to the same reporter, who pointed out to Gretchen there were pictures of her and I with her having NO RING finger tattoo.  Gretchen said she no longer had a tattoo. This is not true, she does still have a tattoo!
Watch for more updates!!

“I was in Bass lake for more than one day dispite what Gretchen has said on the Lost Footage episode. I rescinded my release in July/Aug. After I found out (Jan 31st 2009) that what was filmed on the reunion show. I called production and confirmed, that I rescinded my consent and that there were lies told on camera about me at that filming. I was told what lies were told, and by who, via text from Gretchen to me (I still have those texts, and phone records including the one from Gretchen’s parents that lasted over an hour as they hadn’t heard from her all day and were concerned. I filled them in as to what had happend on the taping). I was also asked by Gretchen if I was sure I rescinded my release with Evolution via text that same day.”

BRAVOD is airing the “Lost Footage” of O.C. Housewives episode TODAY @ 2:00 p.m. and is airing on BRAVO at 5:00 p.m. PST
Why does Gretchen tell Tamra that ‘You don’t know what Jeff and my relationship was?’ Does that mean it wasn’t what it appeared? Just saying…

So True So False Real Housewives Scandals
Rescheduled: Wednesday,
August 5th at 7:00 p.m. PST
on E! Entertainment

As The Real Housewives of O.C. resumes filming for Season 5, one can’t help but wonder how BRAVO will “play out” the infamous scandal surrounding Jeff Beitzel, Gretchen Rossi and Jay Photoglou’s relationship. While the reunion show marked the end of Season 4, it was just the beginning of the controversy and allegations that would unfold in the months to come.

After being questioned about her relationship with Jeff and the alleged Jay Photoglou, Gretchen was quick to profess her love and dedication for Jeff, calling Jay an ex-boyfriend turned stalker. However, the pictures that began to surface and events that followed would tell that of a very different story.

For the first time, Jay Photoglou sits down for an exclusive interview with E! Entertainment. Jay takes this opportunity to discuss his relationship with Gretchen and the allegations she has made against him. I asked Jay if Gretchen would be taking part in “So True So False,” he told me “She was originally scheduled, but was pulled by BRAVO just days before the taping.” We can however, expect to hear from Jeff’s ex-wife. I am confidant we will also get an insight, among other things as to where the fine line was drawn between the “Reality” and “Show” for The Housewives of O.C.

So True So False Real Housewives Scandals is scheduled to air on E! Entertainment on Wednesday, August 5th. More details to follow, check back soon. You will not want to miss this.

The pictures below were all taken prior to Season 4 being filmed. The first one was 3 weeks before Gretchen was asked to be on the show. The last 3 were taken 1 week after being asked.

UPDATE (click on preview to view document)

This document was filed in Court by Gretchen Rossi. On this paper you will see in Gretchen’s own words (under penalty of perjury) That we met for the first time Jan 8th 2008. Jeff was diagnosed in Dec 22nd 2007 as per Gretchen words on The Real Housewives of Orange County. On the reunion show Gretchen is heard stating that we dated before her and Jeff. This was a lie. Every picture that anybody has seen of us together has been in the last year and a half.
In the last paragraph of this document you will read that we fought about her doing this show. WE DID. It was because I heard Slade that night telling Jo “He’s Rich He’s Old He’s dying” She loved a man that loved her and she was taking care of him. I did not think this was a good idea but Gretchen was bent on being on television and convinced Jeff and I it was for the best…
This photo was taken on the day Jay met Slade and Jo for the first time and Slade asked Gretchen to be on the show. This picture was taken in March 2008 . (Jo and Slade are in the back in the picture)

We will continue to update more of what we can expect to hear on, So True So False Real Housewives Scandals… including a proposition Jay was approached with to quit talking…

UPDATE- After having the gag order against Jay denied, his attorney was contacted by Gretchen’s attorney with an offer to withdrawal charges against Jay, in exchange for his silence. Jay immediately responded, declining their offer.
It was after that he was approached with another offer, a big offer….

UPDATED August 4th at 6:15 p.m.
It’s interesting that a comment was recently posted stating Jay is “…trying to cash in on the whole thing.”
Lets move on as another bombshell unfolds:
Within a few weeks after declining the first offer, Jay was approached again “I was contacted by my attorney with an offer received from Gretchen’s attorney. They offered me hundreds of thousands of dollars and my own T.V. show if  all Criminal and Civil allegations were allowed to be withdrawn.” Jay declined the offer.
I have a feeling this is far from over!

Friend or foe? Only time will tell, as Gretchen Rossi’s friend/confidant, Alexis Bellino join’s the O.C. cast for Season 5. One can’t help but wonder where her loyalties will lie, including Jay Photoglou.

“Alexis knows the real story behind Gretchen’s masquerade. It’s going to be interesting how Bravo plays their relationship with each other this coming season.”

“Real Housewives of Orange County“ star Gretchen Rossi is pissed off about a photo that was posted online of her. Read official documents at TMZ

Gretchen Rossi, the dramatic center of The Real Housewives of Orange County says she never had a romantic relationship with Jay Photoglou and recently obtained a temporary restraining order against him. But judging by the pictures on RadarOnline.com, I think NOT!

Reality Bytes- Part 8

Who is the real Gretchen Rossi? As Gretchen and Slade are out canoodling on a yacht Spencer and Heidi style, a few more skeletons emerge from the O.C. “Wives” closet, leaving even the most sympathetic of fans disappointed. The latest revelation, a recent comment by Jeff Beitzel’s ex-wife. This comment was verified by Reality Tea, and after some research of my own, agree, it is legitimate!

In the never ending drama of the OC housewives, Jeff’s ex wife and mother of his three children Sharon spoke out recently and cleared the air on the whole Gretchen issue. She posted this as a comment on our other blog. We were able to verify with 100% certainty that the comment was indeed written by Sharon. What she had to say is very interesting.

“My kids do NOT and NEVER have adored Gretchen….they know exactly what she’s about and what she’s up to and has been up to all along and their Dad knew it too. My daughter, Jill making any statement re. Gretchen explained that she simply doesn’t want anymore negative comments written about her Dad which is embarrassing and hurtful to her and her brother and sister. Jill appearing to defend Gretchen (slightly) is done only to quiet any negative statements made about her Dad period. Our three kids, Jennifer, Jill and Jake (Lizzy is not Jeff’s daughter, nor mine…she’s a long-time friend of our daughter Jill) are not fans of Rossi at all and how they describe her in real terms, isn’t nice and hasn’t been nice historically. The fact is, Jeff was never going to marry her and she knows it but likes to play it like they were so much in love (gee…wonder why???). I’ve known Jeff for 25 years and I did visit him in August while he was in the hospital at which time we talked a lot. What I know is totally different than what Gretchen portrays which means, I know the truth and she knows that I know the truth. Sometimes I feel pity for her which is about the most I can feel given all of her lies over the course of time. I really feel sorry for her family, especially her Mom.

My kids are so far above Gretchen in integrity, self-respect and character that it’s really embarrassing that they were ever exposed to her to begin with. Jeff said he was lonely and knew that he appeared desperate to a lot of people, probably both and not unlike a lot of people that are in their mid-life. Gretchen badgered him into being part of this show to begin with and Tamra exposing Gretchen for the fraud she is was gutsy even knowing that she’d experience some backlash from it. Gretchen screwing around on Chris with Jeff and on Jeff with Jay and Jay with Slade naturally would have it’s downside and if Gretchen believed that all of this would remain secret means that she is about as intelligent as a box of rocks. So….Jay exposed her…she’s earned all the disrespect she’s been given and gives to others and if she believes she deserves an iota of respect at all, well….I’m back to the box of rocks intellect again.”
Stay tuned, I have a feeling this is far from over.
