Gretchen Rossi failed to show up for a court appearance Thursday and a judge issued a bench warrant, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

But before Bravo starts rolling video of their Real Housewife in handcuffs, relax. The judge held the bench warrant for a week, meaning the Orange County hottie will remain free.

Rossi was supposed to be in court for a debtor examination related to money she owes her ex, Jay Photoglou, stemming from a lawsuit she filed against him that was thrown out.

Gretchen versus Jay has been a long running and bitter battle with Gretchen hurling some pretty ugly charges at Jay and even denying they dated.

But a judge awarded Jay $18,900 and he wants to collect.

“A lawyer from the firm Gretchen hired showed up in court and asked for a continuance because Gretchen’s lawyer was unavailable,” Jay’s lawyer, Orlando Castano Jr. told RadarOnline.com. “Gretchen didn’t show up and the judge then issued a bench warrant for her arrest, holding it to give them the opportunity for her to come to court. She must show up next Thursday at 8:30 a.m.”

Castano says with interest and costs associated trying to collect, Rossi’s debt now exceeds $21,000.

And Jay told RadarOnline.com that Gretchen “got lucky” the judge held the warrant.

As usual, special treatment for celebs. The avg Joe wouldn't have his bench warrant extended. It's the same special treatment the Quaids are getting. It should be the same treatment EVERYONE gets..not just celebs.
