Tamra Barney Slams Gretchen Rossi, Says She Is “Obsessed” With Her

Realitytea.com:

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.

Regardless of whose you're on I don't see how anyone sane could defend Slade Smiley barely seeing his kids, much less not providing child support. The guy is a loser and Tamra has every right to say so. Of course, Tamra's so conceited that she thinks everybody is "obsessed" with her, but in this case that's neither here nor there. Gretchen really...get a clue, because while you're probably getting it good between the sheets, your man's shady past speaks for itself.

P.S. the whole walking off the set during a reunion show has really gotten lame, can Bravo purchase some handcuffs or something to keep these women on the damn couch?
