LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Gretchen Rossi is engaged, and has proposed to Slade Smiley? In Touch Magazine exclusively claims that Gretchen Rossi is engaged and planning a wedding to Slade Smiley (now host of Radio Slade 92.7 Playlist). The report published yesterday implies that the entire alleged engagement was filmed by Bravo for the current RHOC season. LALATE can exclusively report that can’t be true. Principal photography for the current season of RHOC ended months ago. If Rossi is engaged, the filmed engagement should be expected to air after the current RHOC season, potentially during the reunion.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Gretchen Rossi praised Radio Slade on Playlist 92.7 this week. But Radio Slade Los Angeles was the brunt of jabs by Vicki Gunvalson. Radio Slade was first exclusively detailed on LALATE. The show has since become a big hit. But Vicki took issue with it in news statements this week.

Vicki tells news that the segment which aired from Radio Slade on RHOC was rude in her opinion. “The Radio Slade segment was a joke. Slade’s sole purpose of being on the radio was to bash the Housewives and, for that matter, anyone else he felt compelled. He thought it was funny. I thought it was disgusting.”

Vicki also tell news “For him even to comment on my looks at the party was very wrong. He wasn’t even there, and it’s obvious Gretchen came home and told him I had surgery. I guess Slade isn’t happy unless he’s making fun of a person’s looks. Since when did he become so perfect? Stay tuned for more of Slade’s wonderful comments on the other women as well. It’s not just me. He simply thinks that by making fun of women is a normal thing to do. I, on the other hand, find it classless and rude.”

Gretchen however praised the same segment. “I was super excited for Slade’s new radio show! I was so very happy for him and the success of Radio Slade! He has worked really hard to get out of debt and try to get things back in order after the hard hit we all took when the economy went to cr—“.

She also tell news “He was the highest rated hour of Playlist 92.7 within just the first few weeks. He also shut the servers down because of how many people were tuning in via the web. His voice was made for radio if you ask me, and he worked really hard on prepping every show and having fun, silly, comedic, and up-to-date pop culture content on his show.”
