I saw this posted on another site, they had found it on Gretchen’s facebook fan page. It doesn’t surprise me at all, it’s so typical yet so telling.
Gretchen recently boasted to the L.A. Times about her partner, in crime, Slade Smiley’s business.
“He owns a consulting business. And he basically consults brands. He takes brands and really turns them into bigger brands. He’s been able to bring a lot of opportunities to me. He works with a lot of big companies. He’s so good at it. He is helping me out a lot with the empire I’m trying to build.”
As much detail as she goes into with the reporter, when Vicki asks if Slade worked or brought in money, Gretchen seemed to struggle with an answer before nodding her head yes. It’s really not that hard of a question Sunshine? At least she wasn’t asking you to define KARMA!!
Two weeks after a letter from the Department of Child Support Services surfaced stating Slade was $80,000.00 behind in child support, he filed a request in L.A. County Superior Court asking the judge to lower the bill because he says he’s unemployed and makes $0. To date, he owes $84,963.00
Then there’s Gretchen, who has yet to satisfy the $19,000.00 judgment awarded to Jay Photoglou. She is scheduled to appear for a judgment debtor’s examination April 22nd.
Is Slade receiving payment on behalf of Gretchen Christine Beaute so Gretchen doesn’t have to disclose it? Wouldn’t he then have to claim that as income?? I guess as long as no one finds out, he might be able to get away with it. Or not…
We posted last week that Gretchen’s court date had been changed to April 22nd. It appears the location has been changed as well…

I don’t have any idea why the change was made, or even if it’s unusual to do so. (I’ve never had to pay attorney fees…for a case that was dismissed with prejudice…because I made every……) It is interesting though!
I hope everyone had a great week-end! I got to spend time with some friends I hadn’t seen in a long time…I had no idea they were even coming. Don’t you just love surprises??
