On April 13, 2011 Meyers filed a 37-page lawsuit against Gretchen and Slade asking for more than $100,000 in damages for “breach of oral contract,” “Fraudulent conspiracy” and “fraud/deceit” among other things. Keep reading for a summary of the suit as well as bullet points for RonAnn’s claims.
The rest of the world gets annoyed at Slade for just being Slade, but his girlfriend/business partner Gretchen Rossi also has her limits.

The embittered legal battle between The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Gretchen Rossi and former boyfriend Jay Photoglou has taken another step in Photoglou’s favor as an Orange County Judge rules the bombshell blond must fork over $40,799.38 in attorney’s fees “after several of the claims she made in her lawsuit were dismissed.” That’s right, Gretchen is forking out the big bucks because of her defamation suit against Jay! D’oh!
