Slade Smiley, March 10, 2008, Bravo survey posted on Slade Smiley’s MySpace page
One of the storylines of The Real Housewives of Orange County season six, the inexplicable, ‘Will Gretchen Rossi marry Slade Smiley?’ storyline. According to sources, Slade and Gretchen got engaged, the engagement scene to be aired in the final episode. A thoroughly bizarre storyline, the beautiful, in her early 30′s, bright and bubbly Gretchen Rossi getting engaged to, in his forties, can’t find a job or pay child support for his cancer stricken young son, Slade Smiley. In season four, the bright, bubbly 30-yr-old Gretchen was engaged to cancer stricken Jeff Beitzel , 54, who died on September 13, 2008. At the end of season two Slade had dumped original Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Jo De La Rosa. Slade and Jo departed to LA where the two landed the first Bravo Real Housewive’s spinoff, Jo and Slade: Date My Ex. By season five, Slade was back on RHOOC as Gretchen’s live-in lover.
In court documents filed in the fall of 2009, Smiley claimed he was ‘destitute’ and ‘indigent’. According to a recent report from the OC Register, a judge recently ordered Slade Smiley to find work, get a job outside of the ‘entertainment/TV and title industries’. An unusual order unless you’d read the original court documents filed by Smiley.
Season six airs Sunday, March 6, 9/8 Central.
According to the Register, Slade Smiley owes $138,857.64 in back child support to Smiley’s ex-girlfriend Michelle Arroyo. Smiley and Arroyo’s son, Grayson Arroyo-Smiley, 10, has a rare form of brain cancer, diffuse fibrillary astrocytoma. According to the Register, Smiley, who has been seen driving around Costa Mesa, had his driver’s license suspended on January 8th for non-payment of child support. The most interesting detail from Pedro and the Watcher at the OC Register:
‘Last but not least, a judge recently ordered Smiley to seek work outside of the entertainment/TV or title industries, because he’s been unable to obtain money through those ventures for extended periods of time.’
Slade is obviously a pathetic excuse for a father. If Gretchen marries him she'll be setting herself up for a whole lotta debt,grief and drama. Girl he's cute but RUN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHes not that cute!!!!
ReplyDeletehe is a horrible person
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with Gretchen? What you cant find someone better? I find that hard to believe. Must be hard up
ReplyDeleteIn the UK, we find Slade to be a handsome gentleman. He's had bad luck coming across Jo and Gretchen, they are both money grabbing desperate women. He may owe in child support but do we know his side of the story? If he owed that much then why was he allowed to be filmed with his son in some of the series?? He deserves a nice lady who's down to earth and not money grabbers.
ReplyDeleteWho's We? (In the UK)
DeleteSlade is a joke! Gretchen needs someone who is supportive and has ambition. Not a loser who can't even support his child!
ReplyDeleteWe can't judge slade, since we haven't walked in his journey. If the lady in his life really want to be a family with him, then they should be helping him.....don't spent tons of $$$ on hair, fake eyelashes, clothes. I am just a common person who cut back on spending to help my hubby pay his child support cause....I LOVE HIM. Yeap, that's the difference!
ReplyDeletegretchen is doing great making him go to a therapist. he always evades the questions when asked about paying the child support. he disgusts me. she should never have paid any of his debts! why doesn't he work??? she needs to dump him fast and find a nice guy before it's too late. i didn't even know his son was ill. now he's twice the scumbag. what is his problem? maybe he should be a gigolo cuz he's hot and that's probably all he's good for!
ReplyDeleteboth are WHITE TRASH trying to be HIGH CLASS. ** And her make up line and trash bags.. i mean bags are tacky cheap bags! I would never be caught wearing any of her cheap "creations".
ReplyDeleteAnd PLEASE Gretchen, stop COPYING others' ideas. YOur an ugly white trash with NO talent.
I'm thirty this September, and I cant believe dat such an independent beautiful woman could lower herself to loving a cold hearted unresponsible piece of sh*t!!!!
