Gretchen Rossi Happy Without Makeup And ‘RHOC’: ‘They Would Have To Pay Me A Lot Of Money’


Gretchen Rossi seems to be enjoying life away from The Real Housewives of Orange County. It has been a few years since Gretchen said goodbye to the show and decided to focus on her own business and relationship. At the time, Rossi was getting no support from her co-stars, who thought that Slade Smiley was just using her to get what he wanted — more of the spotlight. Sadly, Gretchen’s proposal to Slade was met with hesitation and a huge lack of support.

But these days, Gretchen Rossi is doing well with her own fashion company, Gretchen Christine. She has created her own fashion line, and she is working hard on pushing that forward. In other words, Rossi may not need a reality show to have money in the bank or make waves. In fact, it seems like she is doing well for herself.

According to a new Radar Online report, Gretchen Rossi is now showing a new side of herself. Gretchen posted a makeup-free photo on Instagram last night, telling the world that she feels comfortable in her own skin.

“My Happy Place at the end of the day; with my boys cuddled in bed, no makeup, ready for beauty sleep #feelingblessed #lovemy4boys #grateful,” Gretchen Rossi revealed as she shared the picture, and many people gave her credit for being so brave and sharing her face without makeup.

But others questioned whether she truly felt comfortable with no makeup since she is always wearing a lot of different makeup. Gretchen revealed that she usually doesn’t post these kinds of pictures “because people are so rude and condescending — especially because I am a true blonde,” adding that her “goal is to help inspire and uplift as many women as I can to be comfortable in their own skin.”

Even though Rossi can clearly make headlines, she has no interest in returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County. The drama isn’t worth the money she is receiving to be on the show. As Gretchen herself has said, Bravo would have to dish out lots of money for her to return.

“It’s been really nice. When you’re filming full time and so caught up in the drama and the crazy, you kind of forget all the other stuff that’s really important in your life and you don’t have as much time to do all that,” Rossi has revealed, according to Us Weekly as reported by Radar Online, adding, “[I]t’s been really nice to have time to focus back on things that are really important to me. At this point, [Bravo would] have to pay me a lot of money” to return to the show.

And it sounds like that offer still stands. Would you want to see Gretchen Rossi back on The Real Housewives of Orange County?
