Real Housewives’ Slade Smiley owes nearly $138,000 in child support to son (Grayson Arroyo-Smiley) with a brain tumor
Slade Smiley, or as I call him, Shade Slimy, is a special kind of Real Deadbeat dad. TMZ has obtained documents proving that Slade Smiley, who is currently golddigging a former golddigger’s gold, is behind over $77,356.75 (as of February 2011, that amount ballooned to $138,857.64) including interest in child support for his sick son, who has an inoperable brain tumor. Slade’s been unemployed for a while and had his house foreclosed on, so he filed a petition to the court asking that his large child support debt to be lowered. The mother of Slade’s 9-year-old son, Grayson, Michelle Arroyo, has fired back that Slade is a deadbeat dad in others ways: he didn’t send his sick son a birthday card this year, and has only seen him twice in the last year-and-a-half. Wow! If you want to send Grayson a card, you can read his story and contact info on his charming website, Amazing Gray. Although Slade is unemployed, he is a native of Real Housewives of OC, and will be returning this season by Gretchen Rossi’s side. BTW, Gretchen has a few millions in the bank, so maybe she can pay a little of Slade’s child support while she’s feeding him, boozing him, and putting a roof over his head. But seriously, this is really sh*tty of him. If he can’t pay child support, the least he could do is come visit his son and help him get through this really sucky time. A 9-year-old with a brain tumor has enough suffering to do without worrying about whether or not his father cares about him. Read more about Slade and Gretchen Rossi here.
