Gretchen Rossi had this to say on her Blog
I have been friends with Slade for 9 years now and I am very familiar with what has transpired with his son. Please do not believe everything you read in the press. Slade is paying of Grayson’s medical bills sweetie not child support. His son has had more than 4 million in medical costs since being diagnosed with brain cancer 4 years ago. He has had 7 major brain surgeries. Every 6 weeks it’s another 30K for an MRI to see how much the tumor has grown. He will be paying off Grays medical bills and doing what he can to keep Gray has healthy and normal as possible. There is no cure for his sons condition. We also spend as much time as possible with Gray and they talk several times a day. It’s sad people will say what ever they can to make up a story to sell magazines or promote themselves. PS he has never and would never ask me to pay his debt. He is more than capable of handling that himself but thank you for your concern.

I own and operate http://www.mostwanteddeadbeats.com.
Slade is on my website for owing over $100,000. in back child support.
I do not have any other personal motive other than helping the child receive what is rightfully ordered by a court of law.
I have spoken to the mother of the child and although Slade and the child talk by phone there has been under 3 visits within a 12 year period.
You can view Slade’s court papers on my twitter @CoachJenYoung where you can see his income and expense declaration.
I understand both Gretchen and Slade have made claims of paying a portion of the medical bills…. The child’s insurance was canceled due to non payment and the child was forced onto government health care…aka..welfare. Slade claims all zeros on the form showing no income. Where does he get the money to cover the medical bills he claims he pays for?
I have not seen any proof of payment by Slade however it will be in his best interest to prove that at his child support hearing later this month.
The truth will be exposed and documented.
i have a copy of the court documents here in a blogpost

keep me posted on the outcome of the court hearing….whether he shows up or not
Jennifer young is upset because she was dumped several years ago and is 39 years old and single. I understand she gets 8500 per month.I read the jenniferyoungdeadbeatdad.com it all makes sense now!
Slade is supposed to appear in court this month on this
I hope he tries to tell the judge he is paying Graysons medical bills.
That would be a laugh.
He belongs in jail.
While he is out jetsetting with Gretchen and buying all new clothes, drinking and being the jackass he is,
His son is dying.
Shame on Slimy Slade and Shame on Gretchen for being an accomplice to his disgusting behavior!
i support 100% what Jenny from the Bronx said
I would love it if someone would get an interview with Grayson’s Mom. That would be the end of Slade and his lies.
Oh and I believe they have had Grayson one time this year and when they got a hold of him Slade made sure the press was there so they could get some shots of him. They always call the press or go someplace where the press will be so they can get in the pictures. Vicki was right, Slade does Whore out GRetchen but he also thinks he is something special.
I loved the reunion when Andy Cohen called Slade out on his serial dating and wanting to be on the RHOC, Slade stated that he told producers after he broke up with Joe that he did not want to be on the show the next season and Andy reminded him that the show was the woman not him and without him being with a housewife, they had no place for him.
I laughed my ass off.
Gretchens Father said it the best after he stepped in cowshit,
I just stepped into a pile of slade!
That’s just about what he is and he should be ashamed to show his face in public.
He is slimy slade smiley.
they are both full of shit and more. I wish Grayson the very best.
I am definitely NOT sicking up for gretchen but I had a brain tumor and had DOZENS of mri’s and mra’s over a 1 year period and while they do about 2 different mri’s at a time w/ and w/o contrast and a mra my bills were about 25,000 each time. That doesn’t include the surgeries to remove. I only had to have 2. Each one was well over 150,000. No radiation treatment was needed it was benign. My tumor was vascular and was caught early enough before it grew too big that they were able to cut it out. This little boy is going through hell. I’m 28 and I could never imagine my son having to go through this.
I wish you well
commiting FRAUD excuse the mispelling, I get upset when I see someone lying about a sick child and their mother.
BULSHIT GRETCHEN!
If he were paying the medical bills like you say he is then Graysons mother would not be petitioning the court for child support.
Otherwise, your calling her a liar and telling people that she is commiting fraus.
Oh and a MRI costs about 900 dollars now and Grayson is covered under the california major medical and his website and foundation that his mother set up for him which has nothing to do with SLADE, is raising money for the child.
It’s funny that SLADE is nowhere in the photos of Graysons foundations site.
So. Please tell us again, What the F*ck is he paying and how is he paying it. He told the court he was broke.
Slade had a Grayson blog up at one time, but it was all about….guess who? the website is gone now.
An MRI without contrast is $1,000.
Not $30,000.
If Gretchen marries him, must she become part of paying off Slade’s debt too?
I hope her parents read these blogs. He is a con man, for sure.
I believe things do get distorted but he was arrested for not paying child support. It seems like just another excuse.
