Gretchen stands by Slade in court

Slade Smily, appeared in family court on May 28th, to get his child support payments reduced. Slade owes his ex-wife over $100,000 in back payments. Gretchen was by Slade's side to support him, but not Jay Photoglou, who was there to harass Slade.  Jay is suing Gretchen for slander, he claims they were involved while she was with Jeff. Jay says Gretchen was Jeff's PAID caretaker and their relationship was not real. Gretchen says he is lying and called him a drunk, so of course he is suing her.

According to Radar Online Slade was furious and authorities had to keep Slade away from Jay. Slade complained to the judge and he cleared the courtroom of all non interested parties, so Jay and Gretchen were ejected. Slade told the judge that he can't find employment and unable to pay child support. Slade's son has inoperable brain cancer.
