Gretchen Rossi and her lover Slade Smiley experienced immense grief due to the passing of Slade’s 22-year-old son Grayson, who had been struggling with a brain tumor for a long time.

But now they have been called out by the biological mother, Michelle Arroyo. According to TMZ, Arroyo claimed that Rossi and Smiley had painted a false portrait of their connection to Grayson.
She states that Gretchen has not tried to visit him in the last two decades, describing their association as ‘nonexistent.’ Arroyo has gone through a lot during this time, including losing her money, and her house, while devoting her life to taking care of Grayson, who has been suffering from brain cancer since he was 6.
She also made it clear that she won’t keep quiet any longer about Slade’s conduct, as she said her son was desperately hoping to have a bond with his dad, although Slade didn’t attempt much to do so.
Arroyo was forced to hire attorneys to make Smiley pay his delinquent child support, which came to about $152,000, and he has not given any money since 2019.
Additionally, Arroyo recently began a GoFundMe to finance a fitting memorial for Grayson and to cover the medical bills that Slade was meant to pay for, but he has not provided any assistance.
The target is $75,000, and so far they have been able to amass more than $31,000 in donations. The following comments confirmed as much: “Out-of-pocket medical expenses for Gray are in the hundreds of thousands and we are raising money to help cover any outstanding amounts as well as the expenses related to Gray’s memorial services.”
This feud is not going to help anyone, which is why all sides will be hoping that this is resolved as soon as possible. And that is the most important thing. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this?
