Slade Smiley claims Andy Cohen has chosen to support Gretchen Rossi due to “overwhelming evidence” against Tamra Judge.
In a comment to a post about the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, which accused Gretchen, 47, of being a supporter of President Trump, 79, declared that she was “not a victim,” and pointed out that there was no proof of Tamra, 58, leaking stories to bloggers, Slade, 52, went on a rant against Tamra and signaled her past behavior.
“The reason Andy supported Gretchen is that there is overwhelming evidence against Tamra and her little network of accounts, seems like you may be included in that network. Tamra has been caught in possession of screenshots of fake posts that have been altered by putting Gretchen’s name on it,” Slade began, as seen in a screenshot shared by Real Housewives Zone on Instagram.
According to Slade, Gretchen has stood up for the LGBTQ+ community “her entire life,” and not just once it became normal — or because she had children come out.
“She supported this community long before anyone on this cast did including [Heather Dubrow],” he wrote.
He then took aim at Tamra’s past use of a potential gay slur and “liking” of her son Ryan Vieth‘s “anti trans rant,” saying she only “back peddled when she got caught.”
While the RHOC finale and reunion left more questions than answers for some, Slade teased a report that has been viewed by not only Andy, 57, but also Bravo.
“The report is clear and the truth will come out. The report was done by a very well known company that does government research. Andy and the network have seen it all,” he declared. “None of this would have ever been an issue this season but it was orchestrated by Tamra, the embellished lie about Gretchen being drugged by Tamra orchestrated by Tamra. She is the one who brought it all up.”
Also in his rant, Slade said Tamra was “the obvious cancer infecting the authenticity of the show.”
“For gods sake she got caught lying about autism. She swore on the life of her children she didn’t do it. How gross is [that] the podcasts are all coming [forward] with proof she did,” he added.
In separate posts shared via screenshots by the Real OG of the NYC on X, Slade featured an article Reality Blurb shared in January 2019 post, titled, “RHOC Star Tamra Judge’s Son Ryan Vieth Goes On Transphobic Rant Amid Transgender Controversy and She ‘Likes’ His Post, Does She Support His Views?”
In the since-deleted post, Ryan had said, “LET’S BE F**KING REAL, THE WORLD IS F**KED. COMPLETELY F**KED,“ with a screenshot of a news article, which was titled, “Britain’s first transgender family reveals son, 5, is also transitioning.”
Ryan also included a comment from someone who said, “The only thing that kid should be transitioning into is being a 6-year-old. Anything else is abusive brainwashing.”
In another post, Slade included a link to a video Zack Peter shared on X in which he claimed that Tamra had “absolutely been leaking things for months.”
“I’ve known the info she’s been leaking about the show since July, when she was trying to prevent people from interviewing Gretchen. On a personal note, I like [Tamra], I like [Teddi Mellencamp], I like [Scheana Shay], I like Gretchen. But I’m always going to call out BS when I see it,” Zack stated.
Here’s the truth about RHOC — yes, Tamra’s absolutely been leaking things for months. I’ve known the info she’s been leaking about the show since July, when she was trying to prevent people from interviewing Gretchen. On a personal note, I like Tamara, I like Teddi, I like… pic.twitter.com/YsL3Ln0Ox7
