More Rants

I was a very, very close friend of Jeff Beitel for many years. As for the comment on his ex wive's, I never met his first wife, that was only a one year marriage, when he was very, very young. I do however know the other three, I only know #2/5, #4 very well. I only met #3 a few times, they're all very nice, classy, educated women and I can assure you, they DIDN'T marry Jeff for his money because he didn't have any money when he was with these women. They were with him because they truly loved Jeff for Jeff. He may have made some money after years of being with each of these women, but this is many years after being with him when he was basically broke AND when he did make some money it wasn't anywhere near the tune of what he made in his last few years alive. So, you, who made the comment that these women are "older gold diggers" you couldn't be any further from the truth. These women loved and supported Jeff in every sense of the word when he had NO money. They didn't care about money or fancy material things and when he did make some money, none of these women changed their ways, or their attitudes, they stayed charming, nice, approachable, classy women.... Unlike Gretchen. Gretchen didn't love Jeff, she loved his money, his connections, and the lifstyle that he could afford her. I also know for fact that Gretchen didn't spend the time she claims she did taking care of Jeff. Jeff spent way too many hours and days alone in the hospital while Gretchen was out partying it up with her friends and doing promotional things for this show (that she has no business being on). She wasn't the loving, caring person she claimed to be towards Jeff. Everything Grtechen does is for show purpose only, why/how he every got hooked up with her still remains a mystery to many of us (his close friends and family. Not to say that Jeff was an angle, but she's basically trailer trash compared to the other women & his ex wive's.

It is too bad Jeff wasn't taken care of at UofM instead of California, at least he would have been around real people who truly cared for him.
When all is said and done, Jeff was not a happy person even if he bought alot of friends The people that really loved him were his Children, family and the women that married him for what he was and not the people that used him for their own gain.

Jeff should have been a Mormon with all those sister-wives being so friendly with each other.

Maybe their philosophy was "if you can't beat them, join them"!

I think it shows just how mature the ex wive's are, to be able to get along so well, makes it much easier on the kids. I just read above, where it states Gretchen studied psychiatry.... apparently she didn't learn anything... Then again statistics have always said police officers and people in the psychology field are the most messed up people mentally.... Hmmmm

Physician heal thyself.
One can only hope that some of Gretchen's many rumored hissy-fits are caught on tape. That will be fun to watch.

I would like to thank Tournament Drive Neighbor for your insight. Without elaborating on the saga of the ex's, I would like to verify a few facts. Jeff's choice to go to the City of Hope for treatment was not based on the persuasion powers of Gretchen -- he was actually smarter than that! He decided to go to LA for treatment only after several agonizing days of phone calls & consultations with various doctors from UM, City of Hope & others only because they were the only doctors who offered him any glimmer of hope through treatment. He didn't want his children or others to know he had been given only a 15% survival rate & his decision was to go with the only doctor who offered him any chance at all. He knew the hardship it would place on his family, but ultimately was grasping at the only straw offered. Suffice it to say that his children were his main priority & while making hospital preparations, he also updated his will & all financial assets to make sure his children & family were taken care of. The Gretchen fiasco has obviously mushroomed due to her attempt at fame, but her importance in his family's life has not changed -- I only met her once at his funeral & although I keep in touch with other ex's, she's definitely not in their category or our future.

Judy thanks for the insight. I am glad you were able to clarify some facts. I would have been interested to see what you would have thought of Gretchen if you got to know her. I am surprised that there is very little sympathy or defending when it comes to her. I know wife #2/#5...I am disappointed that Jeff gave up the love of his life for that whore. I stood by wife #2/#5 when Gretchen made such a scene at St.Mary's. Wife #2/#5 loved him with all of her heart, she left so it would be easier on Jeff. I hope Jeff knew how much she cared and the pain that she felt then and her loneliness at times now. He had such a long history with her and GRETCHEN knew the facts but was not willing to leave it alone. Judy don't know how well you know that wife, but thought you'd like to know

Gretchen is in this for 15 minutes of fame. Gretchen and her girlfriends (roommate, Rocio) are both gold diggers. They want instant fame and would do anything to get it. You watch and see!

Well, I hope that is all she gets; 15 minutes (she doesn't even deserve that). I know the "friend" mentioned above, and she is just like Gretchen. She seeks out and lives off of old men with money. She's older than Gretchen and I'm sure she taught her how to work the old men. Basically they are both just prositutes.

I am wondering since Jeff is gone has Gretchen moved on? I heard she was trying to hook up with SLade? He isn't as old as Jeff but has the same cash! Anybody else here this?

I heard she was back with that Photoglou guy. The one she was dirty dancing with back in June. That poor sap is blinded by her smoking hot beauty and believes her lies. He thinks Jeffrey just hired her as his nurse and there was no hanky-panky involved. You really believe a man on his deathbed would shun his wives and family for a smoking hot employee and a TV show? I don't.

WOW...I am so glad to hear that Jeff did not leave her anything in his will!! For the last few months we have watched her act like a SAINT and you can see right through her B.S. Its very sad though the last months of Jeff's life was full of such drama and Gretchen spending thousands of dollars everyday while he was in the Hospital with few family members.
