Orange County's Real Deadbeat Dad

Filed under: Reality Television > Legal Matters

wenn5371653ss.jpg

He should be ASHAMED of himself!

Slade Smiley, formerly of The Real Housewives of Orange County, has fallen way behind in his child support payments. Almost 80,000 big ones behind!

And if that wasn't bad enough, Slade's 9-year-old son, Grayson, is fighting an inoperable brain tumor and Slade has only seen him twice in the past year and a half, according to the child's mom. He didn't even send Grayson a birthday card this year!

Pathetic!

Slade recently filed a request to the L.A. County Superior Court, after receiving the letter from the Department of Child Support Services last month, to lower the child support bill because he's unemployed!

We know you have money if you're dating that "housewife" Gretchen Rossi! Get some of that cash to your kid! And maybe he's the one you should have been taking to the pumpkin patch instead of posing there with your girlfriend for the paparazzi!

Sad, sad.

    …maybe he has a huge cock. he doesn't seem to bring much else to the table.



  2. 2

    wow, she sure didn't waste any time after her much older husband died. He is fugly, her older deceased husband was better looking than this guy, and at least he had money.



  3. 3

    He seems like a SLIMEY guy to say the least…..what a crappy ass father!! :



  4. 4

    Perez, I love you and agree with you on SOME points you're making here. He might though, be in financial trouble. Just be a bit more sensetive, homes.



  5. 5

    Another story stolen from Michael K fucking thief.



  6. 6

    he REALLY seems like a douche on the show. I dont like him



  7. 7

    not even surprised. that name alone, but the rest of the package was just as sleazy



  8. 8

    Why do you post all of these stories after they appear on d_L_i_s_t_e_d?



  9. 9

    they are perfect for each other, so gross



  10. 10

    I'm disgusted by this filth. That girl stole a mans money and he is just another fame whore. It's gross that being good-looking can make your mistakes more forgivable. I'm sick of children being neglected by their parents. Why have kids if you aren't going to be there for them? wtf?



  11. 11

    how sad for the poor kid :(



  12. 12

    GAWD…..Such fame whores. They give us good people who do live in Orange County a bad name. Please…..get a job and support your child and his mother like A MAN WOULD!! As for Gretchen, isnt she a bit old to be wearing something that a 24 year old would?



  13. 13

    Um…why would his girlfriend give him any money for child support? That comment is just dumb.



  14. 14

    GIRLFRIEND? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE DAUGHTER HE OWED CHILD SUPPORT FOR! OLD DUDES DATING YOUNG GIRLS ARE SOOOOO CREEPY, AND SHE SEEMS TO BE THE "HOLE FOR CASH" OF THE SHOW, WASN'T SHE BENDING OVER FOR AN OLD DUDE LAST SEASON, WAS GOING TO SAY SUGAR DADDY BUT THE DUDE LOOKED LIKE THE CRYPT CREEPER, TOO BAD HER LATEST OLD DUDE HAS NO MONEY!!!



  15. 15

    -
    that Gretchen is a total fox - you could bounce quarters of that bod
    -



  16. 16

    Seems like everyone on that show is going into or evading foreclosure.



  17. 17

    Re: karencarpenter

    We need to find out if he does…then slap it around because he's such a turd!



  18. 18

    Oh it is so great he is totally getting called out for this… especially before the next season where we will probably see him spend money on that whore girlfriend of his!



  19. 19

    i love gretchen… cant wait for the new housewives of orange county



  20. 20

    i wish i had her body… it's just about perfect



  21. 21

    Re: ba-buttons
    HAHAHAH look at her face! She claims to be in her late 20's - early 30
    s???? she looks 45!!



  22. 22

    What a classy guy!! She deserves him.



  23. 23

    She's a tad to old to be wearing that outfit in public. Not that she doesn't look good, just stupid



  24. 24

    I love how she doesnt wait a while after her other husband passes away to find someone else to hook up with… sheeeshh I cant even call her a gold digger, cause he definately looks poor!!! Nice taste Gretchen…. NOT!!



  25. 25

    wow….what an asshole i hate them both….she is the biggest gold digger ever that poor old man she was with



  26. 26

    This is so disgusting. How could a self respecting woman be with a "man" like that?



  27. 27

    Umm I doubt she's going to pay her boyfriends child support. You idiot.



  28. 28

    I can't believe that he is with that horse face chick! Her teeth are so scary. She looks like Fire Marshall Bill everytime she smiles. GROSS!



  29. 29

    I'm not sure I believe this & it's horrible if it is true. When that show first started his oldest son was living with him & he shared custody of his youngest son who they also showed on the show.



  30. 30

    Slade has always been a tool and a snake and I think he met his sould mate in Gretchen who is a gold digging whore.



  31. 31

    Wow. What a PIG. My 5 year old daughter is owed $40,000.00 from her loser father. I thought that was a lot…. but $80,000,00!! Unfortunately Child Support Services is worthless and he will most likely get away with it and allow him to get his payments lowered! They love the Dead Beats!! (No I'm not a bit bitter, he he)

    Slade and his son (Get Well) were a big part of the show season 1 and he has been a kind of hanger on ever since. I love the commercial for the new season where I believe one of the housewives states "He has already bagged three of the housewives".
    Bottom feeder.



  33. 33

    k i watched this show.. 1. slade is a fucking loser . 2. was gretchen not dating that old guy who was sick?? what happened to him.



  34. 34

    gretchen is definitely the hottest hot wife….but she shouldn't be with him…he collects girls EW



  35. 35

    sick pig of a man….. he should be in prison where he belongs!



  36. 36

    i'm not sureprised.. the last season he was on of the show they never showed his younger son who seemed very sickly… that is an insane amount of child support to owe though… wonder how much he was suppose to pay motnhly??? anyway's he's a douche and he poor son deserves a better dad than him!!!!
    OH and what a little hoe bag gretchen is already hooking up with a new dud and he fiance aint even a year dead!



  37. 37

    he's been bottom-feeding off that franchise since it began. gretchen was never married to the other man-he died before they could. He left her some money, but not all. i think she's just been lonely. Slade is a toolbag to say the least. That he's treating his child so poorly is a true reflection of who he is.



  38. 38

    thats not gretchen



  39. 39

    What an effing dick!!! He's just about as gross as Gretchen. Why would Bravo give these two losers the time of day? Neither of them have money, she's NOT a houseWIFE, and he's not married to a housewife! I don't get why they're even on that show????

    She has a nice tight body.Would be nice to see her with nothing on.



  41. 41

    Normally, I find most of what is posted here entertaining. But I have to disagree with this post. I don't watch much TV and have no idea who Slade is, but I'm a mom. When my kid got sick for the first time, I dropped her off at her godparents and went to work. Some people aren't capable of dealing with sick kids, I was terrified I'd screw up and entrusted my daughter to someone I knew wouldn't… maybe Slade is terrified his kid will be worse off if he's around… or maybe the ex is just bitter and spreading rumors…



  42. 42

    And I thought Spencer Pratt was an idiot. These two make him look like european royalty! NOTHING to television entertainment value except their level of their stupidity and lack of intellect and character.



  43. 43

    If the report is true, then Slad is the lowest of the low!
    Any father, who would ignor his son, and a ill son at that, is just not a REAL MAN!
    He is a total tool!
    What these beautiful women see in him I will never know!
    I am old and fat………and I wouldn't touch the bastard!
