Gretchen Rossi struck up a friendship with her former Real Housewives of Orange County enemy, Tamra Barney, this season. The two put the past in the past and moved forward, becoming closer friends than anyone expected. Also this season, Gretchen's friendship with Alexis became strained. Although she is accused of chosing Tamra over Alexis, she says that is completely false.
"I never needed to only be friends with Tamra or only Alexis. One simply does not affect the other, at least from my point of view," Gretchen explained in her Bravo blog. "I do believe however that by choosing to forgive and move on with Tamra it changed how Alexis acted towards me."
Gretchen adds, "She started to challenge everything I did or didn't do. I was always doing something wrong in her eyes from that day forward. I finally had to realize and ask myself If Alexis really was such a close friend of mine? Because the truth is, if she really was and really knew me then she never would have questioned if I had her best interest at heart."
Gretchen Rossi has been open with the fact that she wants nothing but positivity in her life right now. She and her longtime beau Slade Smiley are trying for a baby and she wants to stay drama-free while in the process.
