On February 9th, a happy Gretchen shares with her Facebook fans that THEY were “celebrating today” with a date night together. They have so much to celebrate right now, one can’t help but wonder what the joyous occasion might be…or who’s going to pick up the tab!
On Feb 14th, Tao Group Blog reports Gretchen and Slade were celebrating more than just Valentine’s Day in Sin City for the weekend, they were also celebrating “their anniversary.”
Gretchen writes on her Nov. 19th blog entry entitled “Survivor” that her and Slade did not even begin “hanging out” until 6 months after Jeff had passed away. Sept. ’08 + 6 months = March ’09. She also states they have been together for 8 months. Nov ’09 – 8 months = March ’09. Doesn’t exactly make sense to celebrate “their anniversary” in Feb. Maybe they had court dates couldn’t make it to Vegas next month so they celebrated early?
And March is about the time the staged photo’s began surfacing. Remember?
(could they have been celebrating the anniversary of Slade’s arrest at Gretchen’s house last February? Mmm…probably not, that was the 20th, not the 9th)
To add to all the confusion, Gretchen recently snarked responded to a comment on her website stating the shomance romance began 9 months after Jeff passed away. Sept. ’08 + 9 months = June ’09. Now how would that explain all the staged photo’s that surfaced in March? Had they been altered? Were they taken when Gretchen was in college, before she had even met Jeff? Were they from New Years Eve?
So exactly when did the young empire builder and the out spoken business consultant find lust love? February? March? June? (when did Photoglou’s and Rossi’s relationship end?) But really, at this point does it even matter? What’s important is they’re together and they’re happy… it’s all about the puppy dogs and rainbows. 
 They say tomato we say tomahto…
However, I did come across something worthy of a second look.
As noted in the court document below, Jay’s relationship with Gretchen lasted from January 2008 through February 2oo9.
The following statement was made by Jay Photoglou after his break up with Gretchen.
“As of Yesterday I am no longer with Gretchen. We had made an agreement that she would have nothing to do with Slade after last time she dealt with him and he demanded a personal relationship go along with what he was calling a business relationship. She broke our agreement and had dinner with Slade and one of his “business partners”. Gretchen walked away from me when I reminded her of her agreement to me and as she put it “gave her an ultimatum….”
Ironically, it’s dated 2/10/08, one day after she had dinner with Slade and they broke up. Is it a coincidence that one year to the day after, Gretchen and Jay broke up, Gretchen and Slade are “celebrating” closely followed by a “anniversary” celebration in Las Vegas? Birds of a feather…
Opportunist – One who takes advantage of any opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences.

Yes I know, we’ve traveled down that road more than any of us care to admit. This is a slightly different route and definitely an interesting ride.
On Season Four’s Reunion Show, filmed on 1/31/09 Andy wraps up the Jay Photoglou conversation.
Andy: “You are single right now?â€
Gretchen: “Yes.â€
Andy: “This man who has been calling Tamra is not your boyfriend?â€
Gretchen said no.
Vicki: “Do you sleep with him?â€
Gretchen: “No.â€
So did I mention there was a fork in the road?? You can either go with I got your back Jay, or veer to the left towards I’m always the victim..because it appears taking the high road isn’t an option. Careful with your decision, all it takes is one wrong turn and you could end up lost within your own little world too.
And isn’t it so typical to send a smart a** message to someone you claim had threatened your life less than 24 hours earlier? Just saying…
*I just came across something else rather interesting, check back later… (no traveling involved )

It has been brought to my attention on more than one occasion that ______________.com has implied, referred to and/or stated that this website belongs to Jay Photoglou.
To avoid any further confusion, no, this is not his site. Not now. Not ever. The information is not only misleading and incorrect, it also raises question about their overall credibility.
Filling in the blanks with inaccurate and misleading statements may make for a better read, but it doesn’t change the truth. Ever.
O.K. done ranting!
On another note, check back later tonight or tomorrow….
WOW!!

Judge Orders Gretchen Rossi To Court To Disclose Finances
How much are you worth Gretchen Rossi?
The world will soon find out, after a judge in Newport Beach, California, ordered the Real Housewife of Orange County to appear in court next month to provide information about her finances and assets.
As RadarOnline.com reported last week, Rossi’s disputed ex Jay Photoglou was awarded $18,900.00 in legal fees connected to a restraining order case filed against him by the reality star last year. A judge dismissed the case and Photoglou won the right to seek attorney’s fees and costs to fight the order. Read full story at RadarOnline.com
• According to Beitzel’s trust, which was amended a month before his death, Rossi was awarded $2,500,000 — some of which she collected from Beitzel’s life insurance policy. Gretchen, however continues to deny that she has received any money.

“The drama from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County just spilled over from TV to the courtroom. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Jay Photoglou is suing Gretchen Rossi on Friday, charging her with libel and slander and five other counts.
It all stems from Rossi denying romantic involvement with Jay, as she was depicted as the fiancé of another man during the first season of her reality TV show.
Photoglou charges Rossi with damaging his reputation by calling him a liar, a drunk and a thief and is demanding punitive damages in the lawsuit. The lawsuit charges Rossi with spreading lies in published interviews, in emails to private individuals and members of the media….”

“Just because you pop a child out between your legs that doesn’t give you the God right to know how to parent.”
~Gretchen Rossi
VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE!
This is one of the most powerful and telling statements I have ever heard.
It spoke volumes of:
class
intent
doubt
ethics
loyalty
morals
respect
motives
integrity
character
deception
It left me speechless…wondering if this same person has ever looked
her boyfriend dead in the eye and talked to him about being a parent …wondering if she realized she had just said more about herself in one sentence than she could ever say in all her blogs…..wondering if she
knew when she said, ‘at the end of the day people would figure it out
for themselves’…that day would be so soon.

A picture is worth a thousand words…
This picture was taken in October 2008, in Newport Beach CA. It was a few days before Gretchen Rossi’s Birthday party. Gretchen was trying out costumes for Halloween to see people’s reactions to them. The day this picture was taken was the first time Gretchen had met Jim and Alexis Bellino. In this picture you can clearly see (as Alexis did) the ring finger tattoo “Gretchen”on Jay Photoglou’s finger. Alexis asked Gretchen why she was still wearing her engagement ring and about her ring finger tattoo “Jay” as well. Gretchen and Alexis sat for nearly 45 minutes while Gretchen explained her role on the show and answered Alexis’ questions. Gretchen told Alexis she was Jeff Beitzel’s caregiver.
