Season 9 ‘RHOC’ Cast News: Gretchen Rossi NOT Fired; Tamra Barney Custody Crisis; Vicki Gunvalson Cheats on Brooks Ayers [RUMORS]

Gretchen Rossi will not being joining the Bravo's Season 9 of Real Housewives of Orange County, but she insists that doesn't mean she was fired. Tamra Barney has been saying otherwise, but is having to shift gears away from destroying people's reputations to focus on her own. Barney's ex-husband Simon seems to be making a very public play for total custody of the shared children, and some feel Tamera could lose if she doesn't start getting control of the crisis. Cheating Vicki Gunvalson is rumored to be dating someone new, despite telling the whole world last week that she was still seeing Brooks Ayers.

Bravo's Real Housewives of Orange County pit-viper Tamera Barney is having a very public war of words/custody battle with her ex-hubby Simon Barney, who alleges that Tamera is neglectful to the point of incompetence and not fit to raise their children.

Tamera told In Touch that Simon's accusations were little more than slander, and has already been assured by her daughter that daddy doesn't have a case:

"Every one of his statements...[are] self-serving, manipulative, flat-out lies.

"It's sickening that he would do it this way, just to hurt me...I'm a great mom."

"Sophia sees me crying and says, 'Mommy don't worry. Daddy isn't taking me away.'"

Former housewife Gretchen Rossi would politely like to beg to differ; she told In Touch that, in her opinion, Tamera had no business raising children:

"Tamera is so busy destroying people's lives, she doesn't have time to take care of her children."

But truth be told, Rossi is more concerned with the lies Tammy's been spreading, than she is her parenting abilities.

Gretch took to Facebook to set the record straight about Barney's bull (vie Reality Tea):

"My PR group has received tons of emails & calls regarding this issue only because YOU [Tamera] were so vocal in attempting to trash & defame Slade as a parent for so many years.

"YOU started discussing me in media to promote the show & on the 1st episode that I'm back having to defend myself against your BS.

"You don't know anything about our exit or what happened because you were not privy to those conversations."

"Maybe you should ... get off twitter because obviously there is a lot more important things for you to be focusing on."

One has to wonder what Vivki GHunvalson is up to; she claimed last week on the show that she is still seeing Brooks Ayers.

An insider told Radar Online that Vicki has also been dating her newest business partner John Pankauski, apparently behind Brooks back:

"Vicki met John when he was meeting with her production company Woo Hoo in April and she had dinner with him and brought him to a Watch What Happens Live taping.

"They are working together on a few business projects, but there are sparks flying between them."

Maybe it one of those polyamorous sort of things.
