In a blog intended for the official site of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County, Slade Smiley expressed some strong opinions about key cast members of the popular franchise.

Though his comments were removed from the site, Breaking Celebrity News has highlights of Slade’s take-no-prisoners opinions of his SoCal pals.

Slade, who appeared in Season One as the fiancé of original cast member Jo De La Rosa, now dates OC hottie Gretchen Rossi.

Rossi herself has encountered controversy for her relationship last season with Jeff Beitzel, who died from leukemia after shooting ended. Gretchen has since moved on with Smiley, who says people misjudge the blond bombshell—especially her fellow cast mates.

“For some reason, Gretchen seems to have a soft spot for Vicki Gunvalson, which I do not share,” Smiley blogs. “But that’s what makes Gretchen such an amazing person. Vicki will probably continue to be the same rude, self-absorbed work-a-holic she has always been. It’s her superiority complex that gets the best of her.”

When it comes to Vicki’s feelings on Gretchen and Slade dating, he says, “Vicki has some real balls to say I am whoring Gretchen out. No one has felt the need to talk about all her secret little hotel rendezvous, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself.”

Ouch!

Slade also has a bone to pick with the outspoken Tamra Barney.

“This girl cannot mind her own business,” he writes. “Do you think Tamra ever once called to check in on G when Jeff was sick? Of coure not! Does she care about all the BS being written because of her unwarranted comments? Nope. She knows exactly why it happened and she is actually involved with the tool bag who is behind it. What’s funny is she thinks none of us know what her and Simon are up to. News flash Tamra, we all know and it’s not going to be pretty for you when it all comes out. The world is on to your game honey and Karma is a b***h.”
