GRETCHEN ROSSI (on Tamra's Reign Of Terror, Kelly Dodd, Possible RHOC Return & Slade Smiley)

Gretchen Rossi steps Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi. @gretchenrossi @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  BRANCH BASICS - branchbasics.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Your Entire Order Of These Non-Toxic, All-Natural Cleaning Prducts) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  PAIR EYEWEAR - paireyewear.com (Use Code Velvet Rope For 15% Off Your First Pair For Infinite Possibilities of Stylish Frames)  JACK BLACK - getjackblack.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For 10% Off Your Order of Men’s Grooming Products As Effective and Great As Women’s) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
