UPDATE! In 2014, when this credit card was opened, there was a security breach at Home Depot involving MILLIONS of Home Depot customers. Gretchen explains that she is not being sued and Home Deport confirmed that the customers are not responsible. So why is some random “debt collector” contacting The Blast with this false information? #Fake News
Gretchen Rossi and Slade (ugh) are still “engaged” last I checked. Five years is a pretty long time to be engaged. Gretchen is also trying to get pregnant through IVF. That venture seems to be taking a bit of time. Weddings and fertility treatments are very expensive, but we’ve been led to believe that Gretchen’s Gretchen Christine handbags and luggage sales are supporting Gretchen and Slade’s lavish OC lifestyle. But it that the case?
Today, The Blast is reporting that Gretchen is being sued by a debt collector representing Home Depot for an unpaid credit card balance of $9,433.56. It appears she obtained the card in 2014 presumably for a project like kitchen cabinet replacement but stopped making payments in January of 2017.
I don’t understand this. I just don’t. It appears that Gretchen is spending a lot of money on giant houses and fancy cars when she apparently doesn’t have a pot to piss in. In the last 20 months she can’t pay off a nine thousand dollar bill? How is she going to be able to afford a child if she can’t afford some kitchen cabinets?
I never understand this type of outstanding debt either. Maybe she had an issue with the quality of what she purchased? She should never have allowed it to get this far, in any event.
Hmm, I forgot about those two and am surprised reading they are not married. 🤔
Does Slade work or nah?
She had that over-the-top proposal to Slade where she landed on a rooftop in a helicopter, thinking Bravo would pay for a big wedding for them.
This was confirmed on WWHL when Andy asked “So you and Slade still aren’t married?” and she smiled at the audience/cameras and said “What do you think?Should we get married?” Andy said “Stop trying to get Bravo to pay for your wedding!!!”
She is delusional if she thinks she and Slade are some dream couple to the audience and that we want to see their fairytale wedding.
Is that Dan Haggerty on the left? #grizzlyadams
As hell no. Grizzly was a fine example of masculinity. In my heart I believe he could have tamed me. Heavy sigh.
Hahaha quite hilarious TT, this is one of the reasons I love this site. On a slow Monday , I can find something to laugh over.
While Gretchen did seem like a go getter and someone not afraid to work, the lifestyle did appear quite lavish. Good luck to her if this story is true
Slade doesn’t have a job!? I am not shocked. I am surprised that the credit card debt is so low…..
They have been engaged for how many years… Gretchen get rid if him and do yourself a favor. IMHO
From what I remember her saying on the show, they can’t get married because of Slade’s huge debts in the form of back child support and outstanding medical bills for his son so she wouldn’t get married until those issues are are resolved, which means never. She posts every day on Instagram in beautiful clothes in beautiful locations so unless she’s a perpetual guest of wealthy friends and scores comped clothes, she’s got money coming in from somewhere and I doubt it’s from her pleather handbags.
What happened to her inheritance from the nice older gent she nursed?
If she still has that Harley he gave her, maybe she could sell it to pay her bills.
Every day we read about people who go into debt to support their lavish lifestyles. Why drive a Mercedes when you can drive a Bentley? I understand trying to live up to standards that go with your job — e.g. as a Realtor you need a clean, newer car as luxury as you can AFFORD. But the keeping up beyond your means is like many other addictions. Hard to stop and lots of excuses. (Does anyone even buy those handbags? I’ve yet to see one in the wild.)
What cabinets cost $9000 can someone let me know ? I’m getting quotes 3 times that
That was the remainder she left unpaid. I saw some for 10K at home depot recently. I’ve been told that the wealthy are actually quite fond of IKEA cabinets. I keep meaning to get out there and see what all of the fuss is about.
That makes me feel better!
After installation and all IKEA is not cheap either. Maybe Gretchen had a small kitchen space
The meatballs cause even more fuss!
When we were renting the landlord put in IKEA cabinets and I was a bit surprised. He sold that house for over $600,000 so yea.
Stay away from IKEA unless you don’t plan on staying in your home long. I heavily researched all kinds of kitchen cabinets including talking to owners of IKEA models and they just don’t hold up. Installation cost is also high with IKEA.
For years Gretchen lived in a not-so-glamorous condo. Don’t know when or if she moved but it never seemed like she or Slade had the business know how required to earn what it takes these days to even live in the OC. So, not surprised about this.
All Ikea furniture does not stand up to being moved. I’ve had two wardrobes literally collapse when attempting to pull them out to clean behind . As for Gretchen , how do these people manage to obtain mortgages for such huge amounts when their salary doesn’t support the multiples. Here in the U.K. the evidence of salary is scrutinised to within an inch of its life …..
I could never stand these 2 grifters ! They deserve each other for sure
Spade is a waiter at a restaurant here in LA. He waited on our table. I applaud him for getting a job. ,at me she should do the same.
If this is true, I’m impressed!
I hadn’t thought of them in awhile. Kept expecting her to show up on RHOC again.
She should buy the kitchen cabinets Sheree stole from her last place. I’m sure Sheree could use extra storage space for all her joggers.
Oh I forgot about the stolen cabinets from the marital home. She was seriously trying to sell them when she bought the new ones. FOR TWO KITCHENS. What kind of broke single woman builds a house with TWO KITCHENS,
She allowed Spade to drag her down to his level – which is a gritter who abandoned his terminally ill son. Typical diskmatized chick. Smh
You don’t even know the guys name, and yet you are so certain that you know the relationship he has with his ill son? There are a lot of things that you can criticize Slade for, but most compassionate people would not presume to bring a sick child into this sort of discussion. It’s quite despicable.
It’s the auto correct on this tablet TT, I’m not used to it yet. I followed State’s abandonment of his son quite closely back when he had the show with the OC Housewife No (?) Actually, I thought I followed it here on your blog but maybe that was the other guy with the on Bass Lake lol.
Well Vicki, The accusation was that SLADE was way behind on child support. I have seen pictures, he does spend time with him.
Apparently her Gretchen Christine company was acquired by Dastmalchi LLC. Guess she either spent all that money or her payout wasn’t much.
Will she be like the Guidice’s and not pay the fertility doc, too?
Post updated!
Didn’t Gretchen win a large payout from a lawsuit about 6 months ago? I think I remember reading about it.
Yes, she was awarded $523,000 from a defamation case in January.
I don’t know about anything about this credit card, but I am pretty sure Gretchen is broke. My friend’s fiance works at a bankruptcy law firm where she and Slade went for a consultation (for her, not Slade) a few months ago. She apparently said she needs to file bankruptcy but wants to do it in a way that “TMZ won’t find out about it.” No further updates from my friend.
You and your friend’s fiancé can probably be sued for spreading this information and the fiancé should be fired.
Tamara all of a sudden today when I opened your TT page to read all the new tea, I have a big message popping up saying this website uses cookies. The only options are Decline or Got It. There’s also a place underlined that says learn more ?!?? I’m so confused. I’ve never seen this n your site before. Can you email me and let me know what I should do, please. Thanks
All websites use cookies. That is how the ads you see are about things you are already looking at other places sometimes. There were some new laws in Europe recently, Sites have all be updated to be in compliance with that. You should see these on many sites in recent days.
THAT SAID. I’ve done nothing to cause that announcement to show up nor have I heard of anyone one else seeing it. It is possible that my hosting site is making a compliance update, but I believe that was all completed weeks ago. Let me know if you see it again and please take a screenshot.
i got that too. once you click ok it never comes up again.
