Overview

• Heather Dubrow said Gretchen Rossi told her she could never marry Slade Smiley, while Rossi denied finances drive their choices and reiterated a 2022 private vow ceremony.
• During the latest episode and After Show, castmates pressed Rossi on separate finances and past debt flashbacks, and she called the questioning intrusive and inaccurate.
• In a rare confessional, Slade Smiley alleged unspecified studio "extracurriculars" involving Tamra Judge and said an audio clip was publicly posted on SoundCloud, framing it as truth-telling rather than gossip.
• On Watch What Happens Live, Rossi said the studio clip has circulated for some time, clarified she was not hospitalized in an earlier controversy and said she passed a lie detector test, and noted she is no longer friends with Alexis Bellino.
• Responding on Instagram, Tamra Judge denied sleeping with a singer, called the claims false, said producers did not plant the story, and indicated she has a meeting scheduled with her attorney about potential defamation.
