Gretchen Rossi is tired of the Slade Smiley child support news reports that are erroneous. Now Gretchen and the man who does her incredible hair, Victor Paul, are teaming up to help Slade’s son, Grayson. In recent weeks, both on Real Housewives of OC, Watch What Happens Live, and elsewhere, there have been a series of negative reports about Slade and support for his son Grayson.Rossi tells news that there is “one person in particular” who is spreading the false reports. Who is it?
“Unfortunately the press and one person in particular have perpetuated this very difficult and frustrating situation for Slade” Gretchen tells news this week. “The press and people stating that Slade is a deadbeat father are ridiculous” Rossi adds. “Just because a man can no longer pay $4,000 a month in support due to loss of a job and financial hardship does not make him a deadbeat father.”
Gretchen leaves Bravo fans to figure out which person is saying this about Slade. But she adds “It has become apparent this story is being told only through one person’s eyes so it can benefit only them, not even taking into consideration how it is affecting Grayson’s health, recovery, and relationship with his father.”
Rossi, however, has her own plan.
In recent episodes, Slade has debuted on the telecast his love of painting. Now Gretchen tells news that she has encouraged Slade to put his paintings to get use. In a statement to fans and news this week, Gretchen reveals she has teamed up with the Victor Paul Salon, often featured on Housewives, to help assist Grayson.
“With that said the Victor Paul Salon and I have decided to put together a charity event in honor of Grayson and help raise money to continue to get this little guy the attention and care he needs.” Rossi tells news that the charity event (click here for details) will feature Slade selling his paintings to help for Grayson’s care.
