Slimy Slade Speaks
from the oc register
COSTA MESA - Slade Smiley, who catapulted into stardom on the reality hit "Real Housewives of Orange County," spoke out for the first time Monday after spending a night in county jail after authorities said he fell behind on child-support payments for his son Grayson, who is battling a rare form of brain cancer.
"This is an unfortunate situation that has occurred," Smiley said in a statement released by his representative.
"My son is very ill and we have been working on resolving the issue of support versus his enormous medical bills with the appropriate agencies for several months now. It is sad that individuals would take advantage of the situation in an attempt to defame and discredit me in such a public manner. For those who know me, there is nothing more important than my children."
Smiley, 40, was arrested Friday by Costa Mesa police on a $10,000 outstanding civil contempt warrant. Smiley, who lived a lavish Coto de Caza lifestyle with former flame Jo De La Rosa, was released from Orange County jail Saturday morning after posting $10,000 bail. Phil Viardo of Viardo Artists, who represents Smiley, said the reality star did not know about the warrant until he was arrested Friday afternoon.
Smiley has two sons, Grayson and Gavin, from two previous relationships.
Smiley, who works in title insurance, made the jump from "Housewives" to the Bravo show "Date My Ex: Jo and Slade," during which Smiley lived with a group of potential suitors for De La Rosa.

Slade you did too know about the warrant. The police were at Gretchen's house in Costa mesa on Wednesday remember the day you lied on to a police dispatcher and told them you and Gretchen were in Vegas? They gave you two days to get to court, three if you would have went after they left on Wednesday.
