On the other hand, Gretchen FaceTimed Slade and opened up about how she felt. She shared that she was having a little meltdown. She noted that she was trying to move forward and got emotional. Slade replied:

"Everything that's happened in the past, you should just...at this point, just let it go. There's obviously emotional issues on both sides...but if she's willing to work things out...I know for a fact that you'd have interest in doing that."

In her private confession, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen noted that there was a lot of pain. She also noted that it still affected her. Gretchen added:

"When I call my spirit guides, my guardian angels are literally giving me warnings, to not trust her (Tamra). You think you're in a beautiful field of tulips, and you're just walking along, and comes a snake and harms you."
