Oh snap! This girl is mad! Like, lawsuit mad...and that's pretty mad.
Gretchen's make-up artist RonAnn Myers (the one featured in season 5 of The Real Housewives of Orange County) is PO'd that the pretty blonde has cut the bitch out of the picture in a business deal...O-U-T!
Myers has since launched a $100,000, 37-page lawsuit naming Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley as the defendants. Some of RonAnn’s claims include, 'breach of oral contract’, ‘fraud/deceit’ and ‘fraudulent conspiracy’.
Myers claims in February of 2009 after she mentioned she was planning her own makeup line, ‘Wiinks’, Gretchen ‘expressed an immediate interest’ in becoming her 50/50 business partner. Agreeing to ‘pool their resources’, Gretchen and Myers each deposited $5,000 in a joint business bank account. Myers says Gretchen cleaned out the account without informing her. She also claims that in February of 2009, Gretchen and Slade Smiley ‘unilaterally moved to change the name of the makeup line’ eliminating ‘Wiinks’ and essentially cutting her out of the loop negotiating a deal with Lady Burd Cosmetic’s New York office without her.
Shady shit!
UPDATE 23/04/2011: And it just got shadier! Gretchen's rep released this statement: "Please note Gretchen has not been served and her attorney's have not been contacted regarding this. It is apparent it was designed specifically for press. Please also note Ron Ann Myers has been selling random cosmetics to her clients for years. She claims to have a make up line that never took off. She is just one more greedy person trying to attach herself to other people's hard work." Um what? Last season, the Housewives show focused on this as part of Gretchen's storyline!!! Myer's sure seemed involved then! Crazy to pretend she's just looking for press!
