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!

Why doesn’t this guy move on? He seems so pathetic to keep talking about this. What a creep!
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:37 am
I bet Gretchin will be to busy to watch this just like she was to busy to watch the reunion!

HOLY MOLY!! CANT WAIT

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.â€
Stay tuned, I have a feeling this is far from over.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Weather we ever find out the truth who knows at least Jay is saying something!!! Does she think as long as shelooks through her rosy colored glasses this will just go away!
August 4th, 2009 at 12:29 am
Kari,
There is enough from court documents, Filmed footage, Text messages and e mails to prove when we met and what we had. Also in a Locker at the court house is Subpoenaed Phone records (Network records not Bill copies) that will show Perjury and a Filing of False pocice report by her. These are sealed records and will need to be opened with a Verizon Custodian and in front of a Judge. It is my hopes that she does not let this go this far as it should carry a criminal situation that I wouldn’t want anybody to ever have to go through.
By her not showing up in court, it has slowed the process of these being opened down. But has not completly stopped it.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Jilted lovers setting the record straight.lmao. I would not believe a thing Sharon or any of the 1000 wives Jeff had. He is dead and he was the one along with gretchen who knew the whole and i mean the whole story. I see Jay is trying to cash in on the whole thing. This is your motivation. Not love. We dont care about Jay to want to see his name cleared. Now he is good for publicity for Gretchen as PR is the business of spinning. I say to Gretchens team. Spin spin let the pr people spin this in her favor. I would love for Jay to just stop acting like a Sharon and just move the hell on. It does not matter anymore. Jeff is dead and she can do with her squirrel whatever she wants without repercussions from a stalker. She had you she dropped you now get to getting.lmao. Going to all the blogs acting Sharonish is not a good look for a grown man. Therapy stat. Maybe Dr. Drew has something for you.lmao.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Sharon also sold her story to the enquirer so she is just as irrelevant as Jay. Jen did Rock of Love so who the hell they calling out on morals?lmao. Okay Sharon.lmao
August 4th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Ok, Jay and Sharon are both broke, psycho losers who will say anything to make a buck…..gee maybe try getting a JOB!!!
WHO CARES what a hot, single woman has done….she has not broken any laws, everyone loves her.
She is the hottest and most popular housewife and no one care who she has dated from a long time ago…..get a life people!
She is with Slade now and they are a HOT couple….we want to see what happens with Gretchen & Slade for those of us living in the present.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Thanks for setting the record straight Jay. What a stupid woman for thinking she could get away with all of this. I feel sorry for his kid. I am glad this all came out about her. Is it true she has your name inked on her ring finger?
August 5th, 2009 at 10:41 am
You people read too much into this shiyat for real. It is reality tv on Bravo no less. Jeff is decomposed and we still riding him harder than seabiscuit. When did she screw Jay? who gives a flying phuck unless you are personally involved. I only care that I got my laugh on at her expense. I dont need a spin off of a sad reject who refuses to let go. Clear what name? it aint that serious Jay neither are you. Glad you in Cali cause here you would be the TARGET.lmao
August 6th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
jftb. I am involved. Gretchen filed a false police report against me to try and get a gag order as I know she was not engaged to Jeff at any time during the filming of the show.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
but why are you so hell bent on faacking up her life if you and she are no longer together? if she gives you money will you go away? I am trying to understand really I am. You and Sharon and Tamara and Ryan keep selling and sending pics of her to all these sleazy websites(dirty.)Tell her to apologize to you personally and let it go. You are not the one on tv therefore you are looking rather foolish and stalkerish. You did say that she and Jeff had an arrangement and Sharon even said that Jeff knew what he was buying when he bought into the whole thing. I dont believe she lied to Jeff and that is what really mattered. You are human and stuff but she is the one we want to see on tv not you. You are like a gnat(sorry) and you are not making any sense just fueling the fire. If you love her so damn much why the faaack you do her like that? Good thing she is who she is cause if that had been around this side of town, you would be a distant memory.lmao. Find someone else who is rich and can love you betta.lol. Talk to me Jay like please cause I dont get it at all.lol.
Thanks absurd to sublime. I be reading your blog too.lol. She is getting her publicity regardless and getting paid, you are looking creepy and scary on the internet, this is what is scary. You are making a case for her not for yourself. I hope she can pull up all these blogs and comments and prints them all for future use. She has better things to do. I do not like Slade but he is more on her level than you if I must say.lmao. Okay I am done smashing a homie not literally like danger.lmao. laterz Jay say hi to Gretchy for me.lmao
August 6th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Jeff has decomposed and you still cannot get that man to rest in peace.lol. You are not a celeb or even a blip on the radar. If you had stayed in your lane……..lmao
August 6th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Jenny,
I don’t think Gretchen will apologize anytime soon, then she will have to admit she lied in the first place. I agree, I don’t believe she lied to Jeff either and that Gretchen, Jeff and Jay were all aware of “the arrangement.” Cool. Whatever. But when Gretchen was called out at the reunion show, why did she deny it? That was a perfect chance for her to clear the air. Because she doesn’t want to look bad she now files charges against Jay? I don’t know, call me silly but if someone is making comments (stalker) and is making false claims against me I would want the truth known to.
August 6th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Jenny…..word to everything you said.
August 6th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
So why are the same people that are telling Jay to move on and quit defending himself, the ones that leave repeated messages defending Gretchin? What is your motivation you are not even involved, take your own advice and move on “get to getting”
August 6th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
@whatever….word to everything you said.
August 7th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Thank you not so easy. That was not so hard either.lol. I will just enjoy how the drama unfolds and keep blogging my two cents as this is a website where people interact. we can all just agree to disagree. I am having fun this is not serious, it is serious laughs.lol
August 7th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
The more I type the more publicity she gets. Publicity is never a bad thing either. It is also called the real housewives of orange county or something no the jay photoglou show. that is all I am saying. Not a big deal at all. cant we all just get along?
lmao
August 7th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Jenny I am not trying to be part of the show. She is lying to police and courts to protect her story on the show . And it is something the show is playing off of even though I had asked to not have my name used. I will post a letter to producers showing what I am talking about. Stay tuned
August 8th, 2009 at 9:52 am
as long as you clear things up I dont think you are such an ass. You are still one just not a big one.lmao. Listen Jay have you talked to her and do you know if she plans to drop all this insanity that you feel has hurt you in some way? BTW just cause someone is from the hood does not make them hood. I can hold my own with the best of them. Do you have kids? I do I have an autistic son and I run a special needs day care for autistic children in my home and I get paid to do surveys online as well. I know you have tried to insult me in other boards but it must be hard when you dont know anything about me except what I tell you.I insult you cause you have made yourself internet fodder. So if you respect me I will in turn give you at least a shake in the head. I will stop calling you butter brain.lmao. It would just be nice to see you move on to bigger better things. A 30 second spot on true false does not make your hollywood career.lol. Move on before it is just one ugly mess. Be careful who you bring into your inner circle too.lmao. anyways jay have a semi decent weekend dude. Think with the butter brain first. joking.lmao
August 9th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
JTFB, I really have no idea where you read things that made you feel like I was attacking you. If I have, please know I am sorry. I would like to delete them, if you could point me to where they are written.
I wish you the best with your situation with your son and hope that you smile knowing he loves you. I too hope to have a child one day.
As for my situation. I take the lies seriously. I have turned down hundreds of thousands of dollars and a show with Gretchen about all of this so that an edited version of this does not come out. I would have had to sign a gag order and let everything come out on the show. Not my idea of the truth. I saw how much the truth changed from when she signed up for the show, to the time it was aired. Please re -read Bravo’s bio on Gretchen. http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/bio/gretchen-rossi
If Gretchen was engaged to Jeff why did her ring get delivered while they were taping the show? Why did Jeff never even put an offer in on a house in Coto? Why does it state that Gretchen openly admits to not being physically attracted to Jeff? Well that one I question too. As Jeff and Gretchen did date but broke up in July of 2007 when Jeff learned of a guy she was dating, the same guy she was dating when I met her. But it was not Jeff.
Gretchen and I met in Jan 2008. She was Jeff’s caregiver. Listen to the Lost Footage she states I had met Jeff. Jeff knew me. And in that same episode she tells Tamra “you don’t know what Jeff and my’s relationship was”.
There is what I hope to be our last court date on 8-21 less than 2 weeks away. I am asking the Judge to reimburse me for the tens of thousands of dollars I have spent on attys fees fighting these lies. I spent months putting a defense together. A defense to show that not only did I not commit the crimes against her but they were lies to protect an image that Bravo painted of her.
I’ll ask you a few of things.
If I committed these crimes
1. Why have I never been arrested?
2. Once I read the Temporary Restraining order and saw a DR# issued by Costa Mesa police Dept. Why did I go and take a Polygraph test and invite Gretchen’s attys to be present? Even offering to let them ask me questions.
3. Even though as of April 2nd 2009 I had not been contacted by Costa Mesa Police Dept. Why did I walk in to file a Police report against Gretchen Rossi for filing a false police report? That’s right the first contact I had with Costa Mesa Police was when I walked in there. And the FIRST question the detective asked me was “Is this all just for publicity?” I was pissed. I actually started yelling at one point at the detective.
4. Why have I gone and given the Costa Mesa police dept EVERY interview and answered EVERY question they have asked?
5. Why did I have 4 Costa Mesa police officers and 1 civil officer subpoenaed to testify at the restraining order hearing? I had more police officers as witness’s than (They are considered non biased) friends.
6. Why was I listed as an emergency contact on Gretchen’s Home alarm as a resident? An alarm she had installed in Dec 2008. (This is a big part of the actual story, I am listed as a contacted person and in a police incident # as a responding person to an alarm call. This has never been told to press) The housekeeper had tripped the alarm.
I can go on and on, but there is a reason Gretchen KEPT asking for extensions in the Temporary restraining order case. Her Atty kept trying to make this go away. And all I wanted was a public apology.
I know this does nothing to prove to you she lied. But I hope it calms the way you write and anger you have towards me and what I am doing. I am living this right now even though the show has ended. This really has nothing to do with the show other than they knew what lies Gretchen was telling weeks before the Reunion show air’d.
I hope this does makes you question (not asking you to take my side) who has motive to cover there lies.
Take care,
Jay
August 10th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
thanks Jay,
we can agree to disagree. I do not hate you.lol. It is just fun. I hat no one. I guess you are set in your ways and I wish you well. I will stop calling you names a little.lol. Just a bit cant have me lose my edge you know. I will not say I agree but yet again I am not you(thank you Jeebezus)lol and I am definitely not gretchen(thank gawd for that too)drama.lol. Just dont try so hard to win internet bloggers and do not lose your sense of self and your worth. fight where it counts cause you cannot win the internet thingy.lol. thanks for answering and it matters not where it was said. I have moved on. we can shake on that.lol. Is she pregnant? enquiring minds want to know.lmao.
August 10th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
I remember when she said she was not attracted to Jeff which has led me to believe that they had an arrangement all along. I am sure though Jeff knew what was going on. He was married 5x and was no spring chicken.No disrespect meant at all. I know she wanted fame and maybe you got in the way. If she dropped you then what is all the going back and forth. when you guys saw each other which one of you called whom first? when she started to see or business be with slade why did you not back off and let her do her thing? I am one nosy human being.lol. Please enlighten me some more. I am beginning to see certain things.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I don’t read Absurd. It is amateurish and I got the red flag google warning last fall for a virus/trojan being associated with that site.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I guess Gretchin’s fans dont have much else to say. They must be running out of ways to defend her now. lol
August 12th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
But it’s fun to watch them try. They’re pretty much reduced to the “Gretchen’s bad, but Tamra’s worse” commenting. LOL I don’t think anyone believes that Jay was just a “close friend” or that they weren’t romantically involved in 2008.
September 19th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Go away Pizza Girl with your “i got a red flag
on absurd” bs. Just cause they don’t like you obviously!! And they’re amateurish yet you visit thedirty? Liar liar..pants on fire! lol
September 19th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
And btw…Gretchen does still have fans!

This is hilarious.
