Gretchen Rossi Orange CountyTamra Barney OC

Just when you thought the feud between the Real Housewives of Orange County housewives, Tamra Barney & Gretchen Rossi, had calmed down, comes news that their feud has once again gotten very nasty and personal. And the man in the middle of their current feud is none other than Gretchen’s current boyfriend, Slade.

According to InTouchWeekly, Tamra believes that Slade Smiley bashed her parenting skills on a recent episode. “I take raising my children very personal. Maybe it’s something he should try doing,” Tamra, 42, tells In Touch. Ouch, Tamra is referring to the news report that Slade owes $80,000 in back child support to his sick son.

Tamra doesn’t stop there, she continues, “I think he is a washed-up 40-year-old who wants to be on TV so bad he’ll do whatever it takes.”

Gretchen, 31, is however quick to come to the defense of her man. “She should focus on her own children, who obviously need the attention,” says Gretchen alluding to the troubled son of Tamra, Ryan Vieth, who has had several run ins with the law. Ryan has received a staggering number of more than 20 traffic violations over the past seven years.

“One of them went to jail recently and has not been successful at much except hitting on drunk girls that Mommy connives to get naked wasted at her home,” says Gretchen.

Yikes, this new feud is rather suprising considering Tamra has been writing in her blogs recently that she and Gretchen are now on good terms. Not certain of what Slade said about Tamra’s parenting skills in any of the recent episodes.

    Puhp,
    I would not like Tamra’s nasty words/actions no matter what she looked like physically. Tamra is not an unattractive lady physically. It is her nastiness that makes her unattractive to many people.

  2. 52

    Mark you need to give it a rest already.You have a crush on Gretchen it is clear,and she can do no wrong in your eyes. You can like her,that is your right,just as it is the right of the others on this board to not like her and her shady ways,and not taking responsibility for her actions,that’s all anyone is saying on here that doesn’t care for her.

  3. 53

    I do like Gretch. I definitely would not say it is a crush even though I like to joke. I like Jenna. I like Lynn. I tend to like the ladies on the show that are nice and to dislike the ladies on the show that are nasty. It really isnt that complicated.

    As far as giving it a rest goes I have just as much right to voice my opinions as anyone else. :)

  4. 54

    Yes, you do have a right to your opinion,and maybe me saying to give it a rest was a bit much for you, sorry.. It just seemed to me like you were being a little over the top with the St. Gretchen stuff, just saying…
    I like Lynn, she seems like a real nice person, not fake about her feelings, does not seem to have a mean bone in her body. Maybe a little quirky but harmless. Jeana could be nasty and two faced, but at the same time has had a hard way to go the last few years,so she really needs a break.

  5. 55

    Mark, What do you think of Slade? Just curious.

  6. 56

    Slade seemed like a guy who wanted love a wife and kids when he was on the how. I liked him but thought JO was immature. Then I saw Slade on that Jo dating show and I couldnt stand him on that show. Now back on RHOC I like that he makes Gretch happy and stands up for Gretch. When he uses some slang he comes across as trying too hard.

    The bottom line is most people have positives and negatives. If I was on the show some people would probably bash me as well.

  7. 57

    I base my dislike for Tamra on the way I saw her treat her kids, getting drunk in front of them and acting completely inappropriately for a mom.

    I am not a fan of any of these people but I do think Slade is a nicer more decent person and seemed to spend time with his kids. I take what his ex-wife says with a grain of salt because she is afterall his ex.

    Tamra showed how mean and ugly she really is last season and she is trying to cover it up this season but it’s fake and transparent.

    I think she is a bad mom and a bad person in general. Her son is just as nasty as she is so that is proof positive of her bad mothering. She disgusts me and frankly I don’t think she belongs on the show.

    I don’t know any housewife who behaves the way she does, and I don’t want to watch her live her tacky, classless life.

    They need to bring Kimberly Bryant back on, she was a nice hosuewife and a good mom.

    I think Tamra is a bitch and has no class. She is older than Gretchen, is married with kids and she is very immature.
    She makes a comment that Slade is a washed up 40
    year old and just wants to be on TV…. well that is exactly
    what she is…. she has a son who is constantly getting in
    trouble and shows no respect to Tamra or her husband. I
    don’t know how her husband puts up with her slutty\
    behavior….. what is going on with all these skanks on
    reality tv…. it really has to stop… these people are terrible
    role models for their children…

    HayLaura says: - December 9, 2009 at 11:41 am

    I totally agree with Mark…. Tamra’s personaltiy makes
    her a very ugly person… when i watch her on tv I don’t
    see a classy beautiful woman…. I see a ugly trashy
    woman. You would think she would watch the show
    and see how bad she comes off… Whatever happened
    to the saying…. if you can’t say something nice about
    someone, son’t say anything at all…. haha…. oops..
    Oh well, I couldn’t help myself when it comes to Tamra…
    I think she gets OFF being the most Ugly and Hated
    Housewife ….

    Tamra looks horrible. How could she leave the house with that hair style

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with what tamra is saying – - she is just pointing out the truth. She may have come from a non oc backround – - 90% of us do… tamra doesn’t have the skeletons or pictures in her closet like gretchen does.. Pictures are worth a thousand words…something like that. Every thing that Tamra has said is all in pictures on the internet… Gretchen doesn’t care.. She’s young. and she thinks it doesn’t matter what she does.. She’s not living in the real world… Tamra maybe has had a different upbringing – rich/poor who cares…. she is not out there on the web with nude pictures of herself… she came a long way and she is not jealous, I think she is pissed that this idiot comes along and does all this crap for publicity and people feel sorry for Gretchen! How is that possible… a spade is a spade. Gretchen is only there for Gretchen.. doesn’t matter who she has to screw to get there – - here she is…..Tamra didn’t do any of those things to be on this show….But Gretchen did. Think about it.

  12. 62

    @hockeygirl. You don’t know what skeletons Tamra is hiding. YOU DON’T. Tamra is a whore, loser, unsuccessful, and stupid! She has a mean and jealous soul and hates it when she is not the star of the show! Guess what? Its the “Gretchen and Alexis” show! Tamra compared to those two makes Tamra look super old!! Simon is a dummy and an abuser, and her son Ryan is creepy, and retarded. Gretchen is real and sexy and like she says in the opening of the show “I’m smart, sexy, and confident, of course people are gonna talk about me”. Why can’t a grown and sexy woman live her life. Gretchen is not the only woman who parties hard. She doesn’t have kids, a husband, or a abusive boyfriend, SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…TEAM GRETCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. 63
    hockeygirl says: - December 15, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    Gretchen can absolutely do what she wants! But pictures don’t lie. And if this is the game she wants to play. Play it. As for everyone resorting to tacky crap and taking cheap shots at Tamra then that says alot about those of you who are defending Gretchen..I’m not calling anyone names…anything like that…certain people are so vile with their comments….it makes me wonder…It’s a tv show…No need to be crude and disgusting. It’s kind of interesting…the people that are sticking up for Gretchen, are very lewd…their language is disgusting…kind of tells you about who her fans are…

  14. 64

    In regards to Gretchs adult type pics on the net all that says to me is she trusted somebody and they betrayed her trust to put them out on the net. I dont see anything wrong with Gretch taking adult type pictures. All she is guilty of is trusting the wrong person with access to those pictures.

  15. 65
    hockeygirl says: - December 15, 2009 at 5:10 pm

    In this day and age – even worse…when you’re trying to break into this industry….you need to be a little more discreet…If Gretchen would just admit to what she’s done.. I wouldn’t be a big deal. But she won’t. She wants to stand her ground….and that’s not a lot of ground to stand on. admit you were dumb…made a mistake…get over it….move on.. that’s it. Acknowledge the fact that you made a mistake! Everyone has! The fact that she carries on is putting people off… And to blame Tamra…if she would just say she made a mistake and someone that she trusted took those pictures…then betrayed her…I don’t think Tamra would have had a problem forgiving her….It’s all the nonsensical denying that she does…

  16. 66
    hockeygirl says: - December 15, 2009 at 5:11 pm

    Sorry…IT wouldn’t be a big deal

  17. 67

    Gretchen clearly cannot be trusted. She tries to portray her self as a well deserving innocent trophie wife, but I’m not buying it. She has scandolous photos on the internet, had a weird man contacting Tamra, and was supposedly “inlove” with a man on his death bed. Sounds a bit Anna Nicole for me personally. I think Tamra has every right to not like Gretchen and I support Tamra in this feud

  18. 68

    Hockeygirl, Nude pictures are WAY better than being a horrible mother.

    Gretchen is single and can do what she wants, big deal if there are nude pics?

    What is really bad is the way Tamra was a drunken mess in front of her kids all last season……being a bad mother is about as low as you can go.

    She curses in front of those little kids and dresses and acts like a whore, I find that way more offensive than anything Gretchen has done.

    I think Tamra kept trying to make Gretchen look bad to cover up what a horrible person she really is.

    Look at Tamra’s son??? He posted nude pics of his tiny penis all over the internet, is unemployed, uneducated, creepy as hell and has been in JAIL. Hello!!?!?? That right there is enough proof of what a horrible mother she is.

  19. 69

    IF ANYONE IS WASHED UP, IT IS TAMRA. WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES SHE FIND TIME TO FOCUS ON GRETCHEN AS MUCH AS SHE DOES. WHEN DOES SHE HAVE TIME FOR HER HUSBAND. SHE NEED TO BE THANKING HIM FOR PICKING HER UP IN THE ALLEY OR BAR. GRETCHEN IS YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL. I WONDER WHAT WOULD SHE BE DOING IF THEY DID NOT MAKE REALITY SHOWS AND GIVE THEM FREE MAKEUP ARTISTS. I KNOW THE ANSWER… NOTHING! ALL OF THOSE CHILDREN THAT SHE HAVE…YOU WOULD THINK THAT SHE WOULD TRY TO BE MORE MATURE BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THIS WHEN THEY GET OLDER. SHE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON HER OLDER SON AND WORRY ABOUT HIS FATHER INSTEAD OF SLADE. I HAVE A FEELING THAT WHEN HER HUSBAND GETS BACK ON HIS FEET, THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES, OR HE IS LEAVING. HE LOOKS AT HER WITH DISGUST. GET A LIFE TAMRA

    @Mark

    Slade has access to those pictures too, you ever thought about that, Mark?

    And for the rest of you Tamra haters who are not lucky enough to be her FB friend, you want to know where she was a couple of nights before Christmas? Her daughters were sick and she was in the trenches all night cleaning up the vomit. Would Alexis stay up all night and clean up her kids’ vomit? No, she would have Olga and Mary do it.

  21. 71

    Duh, Most people do not like Tamra in case you haven’t noticed, for a good reason. Putting something on FB doesn’t mean jack anyway.

    Funny how she never talked about her kids the first two seasons, NEVER. All she talked about was herself and blowing money on HERSELF only.
    Then she gets flamed for being a bad mother and all of the sudden she is talking about them on twitter/facebook, sorry not buying it.

    And cleaning up vomit from kids is part of being a parent, you don’t deserve a medal for it…..most parents do that! She can’t afford a nanny so that is probably the only reason she did it.

    We have all seen what an incompetent mother she is booze cruising it up with little kids? Naked Wasted party with the kids in the kitchen???

    She is a low life and I feel sorry for her kids.

  22. 72

    I’m just saying that Tamra is a hands-on parent, unlike Alexis who has her nannys do the dirty work. Alexis prolly doesn’t cook her own Thanksgiving dinner either or take her kids to the beach or punkin patch without help.

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but I like Tamra because she is a little bit more real than Gretchen who flits from one photo-op to the next and is never spotted doing any actual WORK — her and Slade have so much in common — two scuzzy peas in a pod. Heck, I even like Lynne because her story is all too real for those of us who have been sucker-punched by the bad economy. And of course I like Vicki best because she made her own money and is beautiful and successful.

  23. 73

    Are you kidding? Tamra is definitely NOT a hands on parent. Did you see the first 2 seasons of the show? She made it clear it was “her time to shine” (whatever the heck that means, the woman has never had a real career) and “any money I make is for MYSELF”.

    No half decent mom would ever live that way. A normal hands-on parent would think of things like college and put money away for that instead of buying themselves a rolex and a harley.

    She is the biggest joke. Her uneducated, unemployed son is proof of her “hands on mothering”, LOL!

    And you talk of being sucker punched by the economy? Idiots like Lynn who spent their money on plastic surgery were not “sucker punched”, they sucker punched themselves with their own stupidity!

    I love how greedy, irresponsible people try to blame the economy for their own screw ups. Most people in this country have their homes and savings and jobs and are responsible with money and take care of their children. THAT is reality my dear.

    Vicki is an example of a financially responsible person. So is Gretchen, neither is hurting and still has their homes and careers.

    Lynne & Tamra never had careers to begin with.

  24. 74

    I don’t exclusively form my opinions from what I see on the show. I also take into account what I see on Facebook, in the press and in person. You think mundane things like trips to the beach, pumpkin patch and a family field trip to San Diego to do research on Sydney’s California Missions project would pass the BRAVO editing team? I personally think that Simon made really good money for about a decade, upgraded the family to a lifestyle that he thought he could maintain, started splurging on the extras that he thought they could afford at the time and did squirrel away the six months salary recommended by experts in case times get tough. However, those tough times have been with us for two years now and have eaten into the reserves of many who thought they were doing everything right.

    Lynne is where she is because Frank wasn’t honest with her about the family finances. The surgery was performed pre-eviction when Lynne was blissfully ignorant of just how bad things were because Frank just wanted his girls to be happy.

    I tune mostly in to watch Lynne, Tamra and Vicki because they have interesting stories on the show beyond the shopping, dining in restaurants, spa/plastic surgeon trips & shameless product promotion.

    What is Gretchen’s story this season exactly? You think I wait with baited breath to see what object she’s going to hump this week?

  25. 75

    Oh and what is Gretchen’s career exactly right now in December 2009?

  26. 76

    Sorry but there are plenty of people who don’t lose their homes who did not sock away 6 months salary. They took out a 40 year mortgage, I didn’t even know those existed?? That right there tells you that they never had money.

    Simon was a car salesman who wanted to pretend he had more. Both Simon and Tamra’s greed made their children lose their home, that is beyond bad parenting.

    Causing your kids to lose the very home over their heads is beyond repulsive and I find nothing interesting about their storyline, just trailer trash that can’t parent or be honest with themselves or their children.

    The jewelry, harley and all the things they bought for themselves is unbelievable selfish. Most people put their kids first, period.

    Now they are so poor they are forced to do things with their kids that they normally pawned off on babysitters and also in a pathetic attempt to save face but no one is falling for it.

    Ryan doing beer bongs in front of his little sister, he is a 23 year old grown man! Doing shots of tequila at LUNCH with mommy??? Didn’t we see enough of this family doing beer bongs and drinking last season?

    It is just gross at this point and frankly I have seen enough. That is not what normal families do. The first 2 seasons Tamra constantly acted like her kids were a burden, told her 2 year old to shut up…..it was just sad.

    Lynne should have known the family finances and needs to own up to that instead of trying to blame Frank for everything.

    I think Tamra and Lynne’s stories are boring trainwrecks that no one wants to watch. What is interesting about watching them have to move back to the trailer park because they were too stupid and greedy?

    I find Vick, Gretchen and Alexis’s storys far more interesting because they aren’t playing the victim and blaming their problems on anyone else. All three ladies have their act together at least although Vicki could be nicer. Alexis and Gretchen at least are respectful and kind.

    They need to replace Tamra and Lynne, just soooo boring at this point.

  27. 77

    Anna, I don’t think you know what the hell you’re talking about — even though you think you do.

    Simon was JUST a car salesman? Let me tell you something about auto sales … up until the market bottomed out, being a successful car salesman was one of the most lucrative jobs you could have without technical skills or higher education. In the small, suburban area where I live, before the market bust a good auto salesman easily made in excess of $250,000 a year. If they were selling luxury autos, the income was even higher.

    I don’t care for Tamra, but I’m sick of the “BOOZE CRUISE” cliche. Every “Team Gretchen” member on the internet uses it. Get over yourself. You have no right to dictate how Tamra lives any more than she’s got the right to stick her nose in Gretchen’s life. If you can’t think of anything to describe Tamra other than those old, tired canned phrases, just keep showing your lack of original thought. It explains all too well why you’re a member of “Team Gretchen” — cuz that ho is dumb as a brick too.

  28. 78

    Um Lizze, $250,000 (if he even made that) is definitely NOT a lot of money living in Orange County and sure as hell cannot buy you a million plus house, any half brain would know that. So I guess you don’t know what your are talking about (all it takes is a little basic math).

    So yes he is JUST a car salesman acting like a millioniare and a total FAKER.

    Booze cruise is what they brought their kids on and got drunk in front of them, it happened and of course people are appalled at that (unless you think that is normal parenting????).

    I don’t know anything about Team Gretchen or any of the other housewives’s fan clubs. I am not a particular fan of any one of them but I can at least stomach some of them.

    I am talking about how Tamra is a disgusting, low class person who needs to take parenting classes. And Lynne is just vacant and dumb.

    That is my opinion and if you don’t like it, TOUGH! Go drink your Tamra koolaid and pass out just like she probably does after a long day of drinking.

  29. 79

    But Anna, what IS Gretchen’s story on the show this season? And what is her career today?
    And what is Alexis’ story on the show that makes you want to tune in each week?

  30. 80
    Sister Sledge says: - December 27, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    Alexis doesn’t put her children first, she puts third behind God and Jim and a couple of nannies.

  31. 81

    I am not a fan of Alexis but I am facinated that she thinks she’s got it so good with Jimbo (I really don’t like him), I am waiting for her to wake up to that.

    I am liking seeing Gretchen and Slade, I am not a fan of either but Slade is pretty funny (particularly in the scene in the hotel when he was talking about Vicki & Tamra, FUNNY! yes he gossips but you have to admit he is funny when he uses the different voices).

    They are funny together and I want to know if they will get married, etc. Kinda like when Lauri met George and you wanted to see where that went (I am not a fan of her either but her story was interesting).

    I also like seeing him tell it like it is about Vicki and Tamra, his blog was spot on and hysterical.

    I wish they showed more of Don because I think he can be funny too. He is probably the only normal guy on the show.

    Sister Sledge you are right about Alexis, she does put her kids 3rd or 4th in line, LOL. The God stuff is hysterical that she spouts out.

    Oh and the way Jimbo gets annoyed that she has a short dress on but it’s ok to have her huge boobs hanging out all over the place at the pool, they are a strange couple.

  32. 82

    Anna — because you’re so filled with hatred, you don’t take time to READ C.A.R.E.F.U.L.L.Y.

    I didn’t say that a car salesman making $250K in Orange County was considered a highly-paid person. I specifically (do you know what “specifically means? If not, I’ll explain later…) said that IN THE SMALL SUBURBAN AREA WHERE I LIVE, BEFORE THE MARKET BOTTOMED OUT, A SUCCESSFUL CAR SALESMAN COULD MAKE $250K.

    Let me repeat: IN. THE. SMALL. SUBURBAN. AREA. WHERE. I. LIVE.

    If a successful car salesman could make that in a SMALL SUBURBAN AREA where the median income is $34K, my guess is that a successful car salesman in ORANGE COUNTY could probably have made a few million a year.

    You are so blinded by your hatred of Tamra and anyone who doesn’t share in your hatred that you didn’t even read the sentence where I SPECIFICALLY said “I. DON’T. LIKE. TAMRA”. But just because I don’t like her doesn’t mean I’m going to get my panties in a wad over her.

    You talk about me drinking the Tamra koolaid, but you’re the parrot who keeps repeating “booze cruise”, “naked wasted”, “beer bong” …

    Anna want a cracker?

  33. 83

    Lizzie, Tamra is the one who coined the phrase “naked wasted” so obviously it has stuck. Her whole family seems to do beer bongs so duh, that has kinda stuck also.

    If you don’t like Tamra why are you so obsessed with calling everyone haters when all they are doing is pointing out the obvious????

    Oh and car salesmen are not paid the same percentage as you might think so assuming he made more in OC (by tripling the amount in your market) is not accurate. Car salesmen do not make close to the millions just because they live in an expensive area. Car dealerships across the board are not the same and do not pay the same.

    Plus if he did make that much money then he certainly would not have needed a 40 year mortgage! Again, maybe you need to read more carefully.

    You love to throw around the word hate, maybe you need to take your medication and stop being such a drama queen.

    If you don’t like what people are saying THEN DON’T READ PEOPLE’S COMMENTS!!!!

  34. 84

    Anna, I’m sure you think you have me over a barrel with your theories, but let me just shed some light for you. I work for a firm that handles matters pertaining to car dealerships, including the salaries and commissions of salespeople, draws on commission, cost of benefits, quantity of sales per week/month/year, and so on.

    My statements were based on a SMALL market outside of a very economically depressed city in the Northeast. I know very well what percentage a salesperson makes, as well as what their income is both before and after taxes. Perhaps you’re out of your league on the matter?

    It’s very possible that Simon was making $1 million or more a year. HOWEVER, it seems that no one in his family had any clue about financial planning or how to spend money wisely. They over-spent without giving a thought to the future. They were fools with their assets and I’m sure they didn’t save a dime. The boob job, the bleached hair, and the lavish lifestyle took every dollar Simon brought into that home and then some. They needed to take out a 40 year mortgage — which was beyond stupid — because they hadn’t saved a dime and couldn’t afford the payments on a shorter-term mortgage.

    I don’t blame Simon for wanting a divorce at this stage of the game. He should be financially comfortable at this point in life, but instead he’s broke as a joke. He’s to blame as well, but I think he probably would have been a lot better off without Tamra and her pretentious lifestyle. They should have turned to Vicki for help with their finances (yeah, she’s a piece of work too!), but it’s too late now.

    @Hockeygirl! Are u being serious!?!?!?!?!? Why does Gretchen have to admit she is wrong and made a mistake? What Mistake? She took a picture and it ended up on the internet. The only people she would have to admit her wrong doing is maybe her close friends or parents, why Tamra? Tamra said straight up that she has never went to the press and talked bad about Gretchen! Thats BS and we all know it. Tamra needs to go back to where she came from and get a reality check! She cant afford living in OC, then she cries when she has to sell her house..Hmmm i wonder why baby girl, bc shes so caught up in materials and trying to look 30 again. Get a Damn life Tamra (get a job, life, hobbie, something besides talking to the press when your bored) as for you @Hockeygirl stop defending Tamra because before you know it she wont even be on the show anymore and nothing will matter with her…I would love to see where she ends up!

  37. 87

    Tamra’s very existence at this point is about her obsession of Gretchen. Gretch is out being in magazines like people/US Weekly and doing commercials for Turbo Tax while Tamra stews in her own hatred.

    Amex files a lawsuit against Tamra. Damn Gretchen

    Tamra’s son goes to jail. Damn Gretchen

    Tamra stops making payments on her house and is forced to do a short sale. Damn Gretchen

    Tamra’s own husband calls her a liar. Damn Gretchen

    I think TAMRA IS A BITCH. Vicki is a bitch two. Both women need counseling. Gretchen is gorgeous and warm-hearted. She radiates and seems to genuinely be a great person. So they should both mind their own business and fix themselves.

  41. 91

    Why do white chicks like to have bottle-blonde hair and orange skin??? I’m not joking, I really want to know.

  42. 92

    Gretchen is beyond pastic and very cheasy and trampy. The highschool cheerleader outfits need to quit and who cares if she’s dating her friend’s leftovers. Let them be gross together and move on!

  43. 93

    Tamra is an ugly,old hag who has done nothing with her life so she is jealous of Gretchen because she is young and gorgeous and can have any man she wants.

    Tamra has no education or career. Gretchen went to college, has always worked, and now she is in People mag. all the time and just did a commercial for Turbo Tax. The paps love her.

    Gretchen has personality and people like her. No want wants to watch Trailer Trash Tamra.

    Simon filed for divorce.

    Tamra Barney’s husband Simon filed for divorce on Wednesday, charging his wife with infidelity, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

    Read Court Documents Here

    In the bombshell divorce papers Simon Barney wrote: “Petitioner contends that Respondent has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.”

    “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star moved out of their million dollar home earlier this week and into a two-bedroom apartment, a source who knows the couple told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

    Tamra and husband Simon Barney have been having severe problems for several years, the source told RadarOnline.com. But Tamra did not know that Simon was filing divorce papers, even after she moved out of their home.

    Simon confirmed to RadarOnline.com that he did file for divorce and said: “The papers speak for themselves.

    Their marital problems have been shown on the reality show this season. In fact, a promo for this week’s episode shows Tamra crying to her mother about their marriage and how it may be heading for divorce.

    Per Radar Online:

    Tamra has been especially hard on fellow cast member Gretchen Rossi, claiming Rossi was not faithful to former fiancé Jeff Beitzel. Now, she’s the one being accused of infidelity – by her husband.

    I feel Reality Tv of the Housewives are ruining their lives no matter how much they like the pay.

    Truthfully, Bravo is quite enjoying this; they get more sponsers thus money, while not caring what happens to their families.

    I feel the housewives should move on and work on their problems in private. I also feel the newspapers, the wives and the blogs should not bring up any subject that is not shown on the television.

    I feel sorry for all of them. :(

    Umm we are freakin born naked big whoop she took naked pics, who the hell hasn’t?? If that is the big riff and big thing against Gretchen then she is just fine in my book. Oooo she took naked pics, seriously. She didnt put them on the net so start complaining about the person who did and act right. gretchen is a good hearted person. NEVER talking i’ll about someone UNLESS it is talked about her. If you can not see a good spirited soul in her eyes your blind. Tamra’s eyes reak of mean spiritedness. She always has an agenda with gretchen. Her ” No one is hotter housewife clearly is saying she is hotter then Gretchen and mad she is on the show. Tamra’s husband is older then her so she is no one to talk about jeff and gretchen. Gretchen was with Jeff a whole year before he even got sick. Jeff was a good looking man and I would of dated him also regardless of money so who is to say she was only with him for the money. The only person on this show who is constanly laughing and smiling is Gretchen. She has a great soul and it is the negative people around her that bring the dark light, she shines bright.

    Gretchen seems the most authentic. She was lonely when Jeff was ill and went out partying. It wasn’t a great idea, but it didn’t hurt anyone but herself. That Jay person looks like a alchoholic for sure!

    Tamra seems to be incapable of having a mature conversation with Simon or anyone else. She justs gets pissed off and leaves the room! She has been pretty her whole life and is spoiled rotten. As soon as Simon left his nice job, she started hating him.

    In my opinion, with 3 small children, she needs to grow up. Marriage isn’t easy, but she should fight a little harder for it. Being sexy isn’t going to carry through the rest of her life.

    Plus, this holier-than-thou thing about having Ryan out of wedlock is a turnoff. All young women need to be supported for whatever decision they make.

    I don’t get how the sexy-plastic surgery-partying thing goes with fundamentalist Christianity? It must be in Southern California.
