Gretchen Rossi has a lot to say about Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Vicki Gunvalson!
"As most of you know this fight between Vicki and I has been three years in the making," Gretchen wrote Tuesday on her official Bravo blog.
"Obviously I am beyond upset in this episode, and I apologize for so many bad words being used. I hate seeing myself get pushed to that place."
As Breaking Celebrity News first reported, in the latest episode of the hit Bravo show, Gretchen's boyfriend Slade Smiley did a raucous stand-up comedy routine in which he compared Vicki to Miss Piggy and compared Tamra Barney to the Michelin Man.
"Vicki started it all a few years back by claiming Slade was a deadbeat dad for the same exact reason her own boyfriend Brooks Ayers actually went to jail . . .for falling behind on child support," Gretchen said in the blog.
"Ironic thing is Vicki literally says in this episode 'everyone falls behind sometimes?' Well if that is the case then why would she automatically claim that Slade is a deadbeat father but that didn’t apply to her boyfriend?"
Gretchen goes on to defend Slade, noting that he's always made some sort of child support payment — except when the economy tanked, his lower income could no longer support the payments required from when he had a substantially larger income.
"Bottom line Vicki's rules apply to everyone but herself. She is what you call a hypocrite… I have noticed that whenever Vicki is going through a hard time we are all suppose to stop and feel sorry for her, but low and behold if anyone else is dealing with a sick child (Slade) or a sick fiancé (me) or something difficult, it doesn’t seem to matter to her or what she says about them," Gretchen said.
