June 15th, 2009 Gretchen writes in her blog,
“First of all let me state this very clearly, Tamra changes her story according to how it best suites her in that moment. I have honestly never met anyone so contradictory in my life (or someone that just plan [sic] lies to your face)”

In another blog she writes,
“No one will ever be able to truly understand or I will never be able to explain in right detail the last six months of my life. The pain, the tears, the hopelessness, the regret, the sorrow, the sleepless nights, the dreams, being angry at God, or the sad void in my soul.”
Let’s talk about contradiction… 

The following pictures were taken in the five months following Jeff’s death. I will never dispute the fact that Gretchen loved and cared about Jeff, these pictures however seem to contradict much of what she has written in her blog.

The dates on these pictures have been verified through their properties.

• January 8th 2008- Jay Photoglou and Gretchen Rossi began dating
• May 2008- The Real Housewives of Orange County begin filming Season 4
• September 2008- Filming of Season 4 ends
• September 13th 2008- Jeff Beitzel passed away
• October 8th 2008- Jay and Gretchen had each others names tattooed on each others ring fingers (less than 1 month later)
• November 25th 2008- Episode 1 of Season 4 airs (shown in 4th picture, Jay first met Jo and Slade in March of 2008, when her and Slade took the idea of Gretchen joining the show to Evolution, the producers of O.C. Housewives. They were aware of Jay and Gretchen’s relationship)
• December 2008- Jay was seen moving into Gretchen’s house
• January 31st 2009- The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Show was filmed (the last picture above was taken 1 week later)
• February 9th 2009- Gretchen and Jay’s relationship ended
• February 18th 2009- As Jay tries to recover personal items from Gretchen’s Costa Mesa home accompanied by Police, Slade Smiley’s wallet, jacket, shoes, shirt and keys are seen (although footsteps upstairs were heard at the time, a dispatcher received a call from Slade saying he was with Gretchen and they were in Las Vegas.)
• February 24th 2009- The Reunion Show airs

Again, we find more contradiction in the relationship when we read  Gretchen’s timeline that was submitted as a document, verses the To do list that she apparently e-mailed to Jay in October 2008.

One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning other. ~Moliere

Reading bottom to top, this e-mail exchange is between Gretchen Rossi, Jay Photoglou and a private publicist that they had obtained for Gretchen. It’s dated November 15th 2008, which was 10 days prior to the airing of Season 4. Although I can’t confirm it was actually sent, Gretchen seems to have concerns for the way her character is being portrayed in Bravo’s releases, she also makes reference to what “…was going to take place in the telling of their story.”

Story? Story!
