Is Gretchen Rossi Really Returning To RHOC As A ‘Friend’ For Season 12?!

Last week, Radar Online reported that Gretchen Rossi was returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 12 as an official "Friend of the Housewives." The gossip site also claimed that Rossi has filmed several scenes with Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd.

However, new sources are revealing the opposite, claiming that those reports are not true and that Gretchen will not be a "friend" for the upcoming new season.

“Gretchen is not back on the show,” sources revealed to The Dirty. “She did come to Vicki’s birthday party that was taped on camera,” the insider dished, “but she is definitely not back on the show.”

Another source revealed that, “just because she appeared at Vicki’s party, it doesn’t even mean that she will definitely get airtime, as Bravo is known for editing footage in a way that fits the storyline they are trying to tell.”

Radar also claimed that Vicki wants Rossi back full time for season 13, and sources confirm to The Dirty that is true, as she wants Rossi on her team against Tamra Judge.
