Gretchen Rossi Defends Finances as Slade Smiley Makes Rare Tamra Allegation on RHOC

The couple point to a private 2022 vow exchange, remaining legally unmarried with separate finances.

Overview

  • During a Beverly Hills sleepover, Heather Dubrow and Emily Simpson pressed Rossi about joint accounts, and Rossi said her home is in her name and she covers the mortgage and household costs.
  • A 2012 flashback showed Rossi citing Smiley’s back debt, while Dubrow now says Rossi told her she could never marry him; Rossi rejected that characterization and said she would love to legally wed.
  • Rossi reiterated that she and Smiley consider themselves married after a pastor-led ceremony on New Year’s Eve 2022.
  • In a rare confessional, Smiley made an unverified allegation about Tamra Judge’s conduct during a studio session, which Dubrow and Simpson called “gross” before shutting down the conversation.
  • Cast members also revisited Smiley’s past financial setbacks, with Gina Kirschenheiter pointing to losses during the 2008 housing crash, as Rossi suggested others were probing with an “ulterior motive.”
