Shocking Old Video of Gretchen Rossi Praising Trump Resurfaces After She Denies Liking Problematic Posts!
Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County ended with a shocking wave of accusations — and Gretchen Rossi found herself at the center of a social media scandal after Tamra Judge accused her of “liking” a series of disturbing transphobic and homophobic posts online.
During the cast trip to Amsterdam, Tamra confronted Gretchen about the alleged “likes,” which immediately sparked outrage among the group, especially Heather Dubrow, whose children are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Heather was visibly furious at the idea that Gretchen was endorsing anti-LGBTQ+ content, but Gretchen stood firm, insisting none of it was true.
“I was so confused because, in my heart, I’m like, ‘There’s no way I would’ve liked a post like that,’” Gretchen said during the RHOC After Show. “What am I supposed to say to this? I know fundamentally in my heart what I feel and how I believe… but it’s like, how are you supposed to defend that in that moment?”
Gretchen said her calm reaction — which Tamra interpreted as guilt — was actually shock. “I was legitimately in shock and confused,” she added.
Gretchen and fiancé Slade Smiley even hired a private investigator, Andy Kay, who claimed the screenshots were “falsified” and “manipulated.” Gretchen also questioned why the alleged posts never surfaced before the show. “You’re gonna tell me these things have been out on the internet and nothing has ever been picked up by the media?” she asked. “It’s nowhere but on this one Twitter feed that Tamra is the only person following.”
Meanwhile, another resurfaced clip didn’t help Gretchen’s image. In an old video posted to Instagram, she was seen wearing a Trump hat while holding her daughter, Skylar Gray. “Go Trump, go! I got a Trump hat!” she cheered, before joking, “No, burn that one!” when Slade mentioned a Biden hat.
But the season’s real bombshell came in the final minutes, when Shannon Beador, Jennifer Pedranti, and Gina Kirschenheiter spoke with an anonymous source who claimed Tamra had been leaking behind-the-scenes RHOC secrets to bloggers — including the Gretchen screenshots.
Emily Simpson was not on the call, but said she believes the claim. “The amount of information that this person knew — it was detailed,” Emily told Us Weekly. “It was dates, who was there, where we were filming, content… That’s information only cast and production would know.”
She continued, “So clearly someone leaked it. And the fact that they said it was Tamra? I believe them. I think she has done it for years. It just finally caught up to her.” Jennifer didn’t hold back either. “Tamra will do anything for maximum impact,” she said in a confessional. “I think she will hurt anybody. I think she will leak information. And I think she’s probably one of the most calculative, scary, dangerous people within this friend group.”
Shannon agreed, calling Tamra’s alleged behavior “evil.” “How dare you try to destroy so much for your own benefit?” she said.
Tamra is expected to address the accusations at the reunion — but it appears several Housewives have already made up their minds.
