OC Housewives’ Tamra Barney Slams Gretchen, Says She Is “Obsessed” With Her

Tamra Barney vs. Gretchen Rossi take 20.

Days after Gretchen sort of made a valid point called Tamra a hypocrite for her actions on the Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra is now responding. In a new interview, Tamra refers to Gretchen as being “obsessed” with her and also makes reference to her legal issues and dead-beat boyfriend Slade Smiley.

“Gretchen’s constantly bashing me in interviews is nothing more than a clever diversion, created so the attention is not on the three lawsuits in which she is currently involved and the problems with her [boyfriend Slade's] past-due child support,” Tamra tells E! Online via an email she sent to them. “She has NO knowledge of the issues I had with Jeana [Keough], yet she constantly finds reasons to talk about me in interviews, on the show and on her Bravo blogs.”

Tamra continued, “She is nothing more than obsessed with me…You would think with all her legal problems, she would use her time more wisely. I truly feel sorry for her and hope that she lets go of the anger she has in her heart as I did for Jeana Keough.”

Ouch. Tamra also promises all of her drama with Gretchen will be addressed on the upcoming 2-part reunion show.

And speaking of Gretchen’s legal drama, she scored a small victory in court this week against her ex Jay Photoglou. A week after requesting a protective order to keep Jay from talking to the press about certain issues, Gretchen was granted most of it.

A judge granted a protective order which prohibits both Gretchen and Jay from discussing the “sexual history of either party, either party’s financial information,” plus home and cellular telephone numbers and home addresses. As we speculated last week, this order was likely requested by Gretchen to prevent her financial information from leaking to the press during a deposition. Gretchen was ordered to fork over $40,000 to Jay for his legal fees earlier this year and has yet to.

In fact Jay’s attorney Bryan Freedman confirms a deposition is indeed in the works. “Our next move is to take Rossi’s deposition within the next few weeks,” said Bryan.

TELL US – WHO IS OBSESSED WITH WHOM? GRETCHEN OR TAMRA?

  1. Wow. I have to say, I dont understand ANYONE who would side with tamra. I have been watching this show since the beginning, and when gretchen first joined the show she was so nice to everyone and tamra was horrible to her! just because she was dating an older man, and is prettier and younger than her.
    I HATE it when girls are jealous like that because people do that to me as well, and I can definitely say that people hate on those people just to make themselves feel better . She does it with Alexis as well, and anyone else she feels is prettier/more together than herself. Just an observation.
    Also, Tamra spent years belittling gretchen and spreading horrible rumors, and I think that is just terrible. Her fiance DIED. If you think its okay to tease and make fun of someone who’s loved one just died, that just shows you that you aren’t a woman, or a lady. you are a b*tch who doesn’t care about anyone.
    It sucks because I really wanted to like tamra, I feel like she is really funny and has her good points too but no one cares about those after awhile when all she does is make fun of people, be a terrible friend to everyone she knows, and then say other people are obsessed with her when she was the one who was obsessed in the first place! she is the one talking about gretchens legal troubles all the time and she used to talk to the press all the time about that crap, for years.
    it’s on camera!

  2. something i said must be true , i was talking about the housewives and you made it personal . there is no way you can make me
    stoop to your level. so maybe it is you tamra ?

  3. @252 Donna- wait earlier you thought I was Tamra…now you think its Pink_Kitty?! It just shows how ridiculous your accusations are! But since you keep posting like you are talking to the actual housewives, I’ll ask you this- which one of us is it…..make up your mind dear ;)

  4. SARA your spot on …I have been done the same way because of my look’s there jellous
    but the person you are inside is what counts .

  5. darling you keep posting in different names
    bout still the same , and like I said you can
    not make me stoop to your level . so say what you will it doesn’t bother me at all sweetie.

  6. SAY IT Donna GIRL!!!

  7. don’t for get how she ran around in those little shoe she was funny , trying to get dirt on gretchn when she should have been paying attendion to her own family .
    you could see the devilment all in her eyes
    she was losing her house but she was all in to gretchn bussiness . I read that she was a grand mother is she ?

  8. @255- haha ok!! Well I’m sorry to burst your bubble but we really are two different people. We just think alike and are just able to see through Gretchen’s BS!

  9. I’m sorry but I don’t completely understand your post- “those little shoe she was funny”- I have no idea what you are talking about or trying to say???? I don’t believe that she is a grandmother.

    I’m not saying this to be mean, but I can’t respond fully to your post because it doesn’t make any sense to me. Your grammar and spelling are hard to follow, so all I got out of that post really was that you read Tamra (I think that is who you are referring to) might be a grandma. I don’t know because I am not Tamra, but I doubt she is a grandma only because Gretchen and Alexis would have brought that up & tried to throw it in Tamra’s face by now.

    ya'll nutz

    wow…. this is entertaining….pass the cheezits

  11. @260…kindly don’t bogart the cheezits…lol

  12. I didn’t mean to sound catty, and I apologize if I upset or offended anyone because that was not my intention.

    **See, my apology should prove I am not a Housewife because lord knows they would just keep taking digs at you & become more and more irrational rather than try to end it!! haha!!

  13. @262Katrina – You cool girl. Don’t worry about it there are many folks on this website who post under various names & then high five themselves. Plus folks who just want to cause havoc so that we don’t discuss their repeated horrid behavior.

  14. wow… this is has gotten ugly. This is a show to be entertained by, not take it to such personal level. I have learned early on that I can’t post about anyone I like from the show, because someone else will think I am that person. Again, it is a show to watch and if you really don’t like it, change the channel right away. It’s that simple.

  15. @happy 264…I hope you reconsider and go back to posting your likes and dislikes. Those who accuse anyone of being a housewife, lose all credibility. It sounds silly and childish and shows an inability to have a rational discourse. They simply show themselves for who they are. There is never a need for posts to become personal but some people are just undereducated, unfortunately.

    I enjoy reading your posts…keep posting.

  16. I’m not sure I understand…..I think the RHOC do read and in the past have been proven to post on these reality blogs..i.e. Tamra -absurdtosublime…ratted her out apparently for repeatedly posting numerous (obviously negative) comments about G back in 2009. It is totally possible that any one of them are here reading and posting comments. Not sure why that is so hard to believe. I don’t even get the last post….in one sentence “There is never a need for posts to become personal” ..and the rest of the post..”Those who accuse anyone of being a housewife, lose all credibility. It sounds silly and childish and shows an inability to have a rational discourse. They simply show themselves for who they are…some people are just undereducated, unfortunately.” LOL really?

  17. Team Tamra all the way!, wretched Gretchen is obsessed and Jealous of Tamra.

  18. Tamara is nothing more than a skanky hoe who wants to be up in Gretchen’s business but when Karma comes and bites her in the ass she wants to bitch up on everybody. She is the one that is truly evil to her core.

  19. @Anica 266….What difference does it make if a housewife posts here or not. The reality is that everyone is welcomed to post on this board housewives included.

    Most people and the American Justice system require a little something called ‘PROOF’ before making an accusation. I have seen numerous posters on here offended because they have been accused of being a housewife and the accusation simply isn’t true. Most people don’t enjoy or appreciate being falsely accused of anything. You perhaps might, there’s usually one in every crowd, LOL….

    Thank you for showing me who you are with the quality of your post….and a resounding “YES” to your “LOL, really?”

  20. @Anica 269…I would appreciate it greatly if you read my posts accurately before quoting them.

    You seem so eager to share your information about Radaronline that you have not read my post but “read into’ my post; thereby opening the door in your estimation to share a precious little nugget of information regarding a housewife….LOL….

  21. Tamara is a hoe she is a 2 face bitch she was talking all this shit about Gretchen when she was doing the same thing to simon and now Vicki is doing the same thing.

  22. Team Tamra, all the way. It’s simple that Gretchen was a gold digger. There’s pictures online of her kissing this JAY fellow wearing that huge engagement ring Jeff had given her. I can understand why Tamra doesn’t like her. It’s valid enough.

  23. Team Tamara, Vicky, and Peggy. Gretchen is a liar and is very good at selling herself. Slade should find a job and pay his child support if he doesn’t want people talking about it. No one likes a deadbeat dad. These people put themselves in th public and get angry when the truth is exposed. Gretchen and Slade need to be honest.

    Tamra….please…GROW UP and be a good role model for your children. What business is it of yours whether Slade pays child support or not. Honestly. And as far as Jeff and if Gretchen was sleeping with someone else…who are you to keep bashing her??? Have you walked in her shoes..have you taken care of someone daily that was dying a horrible death??? Who cares about what Jay is doing. Why is any of this any of your business.I really liked you last year, but this year, you have turned into the biggest nastiest mean girl I’ve ever seen, talking about everyone else’s business…you must be very unhappy and poor Eddie…what a show you put on. You are unstable and need help. Please get it so I can watch the sohw next year. If you are still crazy, I’m out. Please….STOP nagging on everyone and start thinking of yourself and your own kids and family. Wow…

  25. Team Gretchen!! Tamra and Vickie are both sorry excuses for women. They should be ashamed of the examples they are setting for their daughters.

  26. Tamara I”m sorry to say is a classless human being, and would do well to remember the “Golden Rule”

    Doesn’t anyone feel sorry for sweet little Eddie? Poor guy has been under the evil Tamra spell. I know it will just be a matter of time before he wakes up and finds himself disgusted by her behavior. I hope he figures out that she hit her high point a couple years back. He deserves someone who has a kind heart and someone younger and prettier (though she won’t be tough to beat in those aspects) that he can START a family with. All that baggage must weigh heavy on any relationship!

  28. I don’t feel sorry for eddie. He is using Tamara and good for him. Her evil is certainly showing on her face. She looks so old and it is because of her being so full of hate and envy.

  29. They need to get some younger and more believable women on the show. I can’t think right now of the old hw (by old I mean age. she she is gross) that was married to Donn. What is her name anyway? Is her memory failing? Tamara treated her so badly last year and now they are all lovey dovey. They deserve each other. Gretchen I love but I would like to see her get over caring about any thing Tamara says ot or about her. Did anyone see how bad she looked when Tamara said something evil to her. It isn’t worth it to let Tamara get to her.

  30. Doesn’t anyone notice how Tamara is in everyones business? I can’t stand Slade but frankly he isn’t Tamara’s business. She has so much trouble in her own life how can she be so involved with everyone else’s. Maybe it is a ploy so no one has time to bring up her disgusting son and mini porn act that was so repulsive. Great example for her daughters. Didn’t like Simon at all but maybe it was her that was making him look so badly. Vickie, that is the name of the other evil stepsister

  31. High five to all the posters who can see through the BS of all the housewives. And I am not one of them. thank you very much.
