Gretchen Rossi Through With Slade Smiley?

Never go to RadarOnline seeking truth, but the stories take the pulse of the most recent RH publicity stunts.

Interesting this story came out the day after the season 7 reunion of the Real Housewives of Orange County was filmed.  Give us a hint at what happened there.  Did the other ladies have a go at Gretchen Rossi for continuing to support Slade?  Andy Cohen claimed he was “attacked” at the reunion on twitter yesterday, was it about paying Slade Smiley  in Gretchen’s name so Slade doesn’t have to declare income to the courts, seeking back child support for 11 year old Grayson Smiley, his child with brain cancer?

Or is Bravo threatening to get rid of Gretchen if she doesn’t come up with a better storyline? This season, between the PussyCat Dolls torture and the “my man ain’t got not job” story, Gretchen had nada.

Of course, there’s always the Jay Photoglou true storyline, with them constantly back and forth in court, this time possibly involving her cast mates:

WILL GRETCHEN ROSSI'S CAST MATES TESTIFY AGAINST HER?

Or is it simply the fact that the Real Housewives of New Jersey are stealing all the famewhore thunder? 

These stories always go out before a reunion airs

from Radar:

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley may look like the picture perfect couple butRadarOnline.com has exclusively learned there is trouble brewing in paradise for them!

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars have been a couple for years, but the gorgeous Real Housewife has had it with her unemployed boyfriend.

“Gretchen is growing tired of taking care of Slade and paying for everything in his life and she’s just about had it,” a source close to the blonde bombshell told RadarOnline.com.

“She is supporting him and helping to pay his legal bills and it’s getting to be too much for her. Gretchen is seriously considering ending the relationship because she’s sick of doing everything for Slade.”

While cracks in their relationship have been showing this season on their reality show, the source said that the execs at the network want him out of her life too.

“The folks at Bravo hate them together and they don’t want Gretchen to date Slade anymore,” the source says. "He really adds nothing to her life and is more of a leach than an asset."

However, Gretchen, who recently rocked a sparkling bikini on the red carpet, is trying not to let people know about her troubles with Slade and is fighting to keep a lid on her relationship woes until the very moment SHE is ready to pull the plug once and for all.

“Gretchen is publicly supporting Slade and continues to defend him and their crumbling relationship, but behind the scenes she’s admitting to friends that she’s not happy doing what she’s doing with him.

"And why would she be happy? Let's look at the facts here -- Gretchen is incredibly successful, she's bright, she's funny and she is a total knockout. What on Earth does Slade bring to the table, or the relationship for that matter?"

Incredibly successful?  Whatever

The Real Housewives of  Orange county airs Monday night’s on Bravo.
