Drama At Slade Smiley's Child Support Hearing

Slade Smiley’s child support court hearing turned into a drama worthy of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County reality series on Friday.

Smiley owes $110,000 in back child support to Michelle Arroyo and was accompanied to court by his reality TV star girlfriend Gretchen Rossi.

But she’s not the only one who showed up. Gretchen’s ex boyfriend Jay Photoglou was also in the courtroom and Slade was furious, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

Photoglou and Rossi have waged their own court war, suing each other after a long-running public feud.

Smiley was incensed to see Photoglou in the courtroom and authorities were involved in keeping the parties separate.

Slade then asked the judge to have Photoglou removed the courtroom. All parties not directly involved in the matter, including Rossi, were told to leave court.

Kelly Bensimon's "Out-of-Body Experience"

On Thursday's The Real Housewives of New York City, Kelly Bensimon attempts to explain her infamous May 20 show meltdown -- but only leaves her pals even more confused.

Sitting with Jill Zarin, LuAnn de Lesseps and Jennifer Gilbert, Bensimon, 42, says she lashed out at costars Ramona Singer, Alex McCord, Sonja Morgan and foe Bethenny Frankel during a trip to the Virgin Islands because they were gossiping too much.

"From the minute we were together, it was everything that I hate – talking badly about people," she begins.

(Oddly, she then starts gossiping about Frankel, 39: "She’s, like, a cook and everything like that, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘I mean, not one person that I know has ever hired her as a cook.'")

Bensimon says she was "so over tired" and "feeling sick" when she snapped (among her quips: She called Frankel a "ho bag"). "I was drinking this wine – I never drink wine – and I was sitting in this room with these women. I just wanted to get out of there," she says. "... It was an out-of-body experience."

In the end, the ladies still had no clarity about what actually went down.

Says de Lesseps, 45: "By the end of Kelly’s story about the trip, I was so confused. I mean, I just didn’t get it. I had to hear the other side of the story."
