The suit was filed by her ex boyfriend Jay Photoglou and a source familiar with the situation said Rossi's attorneys refused to accept service, leading Jay to have Gretchen served publicly.
It happened at the home of Peggy Tanous, the new Orange County cast member. Stars from Bravo's reality series got together at Tanous' home for a dinner, that was taped by the network.

"Gretchen pulled up in her car and as soon as she got out she was served with the legal papers," a source told RadarOnline.com. "She turned away and acted as if she was going to try to avoid being served. But there were two people there to serve her and she had no choice. She finally just accepted service."
Photoglou is suing Rossi for libel, slander and five other counts. The suit was originally filed in Los Angeles but for procedural reasons he needed to re-file it in Orange County.
RadarOnline.com was first to reveal that Peggy Tanous was joining the OC cast. And while Bravo taped the "get acquainted" dinner at her house Saturday night, Rossi being served was not captured on video.
Rossi also has an active lawsuit against Photoglou.

Rossi has at times denied she was romantically involved with Photoglou but he has provided ample proof of their former romantic relationship. Now, their only relationship exists in court, where they have battled continuously for the past year - and it doesn't look like the war is going to end any time soon.
"They've spent a fortune suing each other," one source told RadarOnline.com. "But the money doesn't seem to matter. They each want to stomp the other one."

I'd think that any attorney with even an ounce of professional integrity would stop representing this guy & his frivolous lawsuits. Enough is enough. He's trying to get back at her by using the system. His attys are as reprehensible as he is.

Yes, this guy is a scary stalker. Sounds like he's obsessed. Very scary.

This Jay guy is a leach and a total train wreck. Why doesn't he just MOVE ON w/ his own life? He's definitely got some mental issues and is obsessed w/ her.

I have to agree. The guy comes off as a stalker. She paid him what the court had order and yet he continues to use the legal system to stalk her. Get a restraining order, Gretchen!!

The dude needs to be locked up. He is constantly stalking Gretchen and she does need to get a restraining order. There is something wrong with him for sure. He is probably jealous cuz she is making something of her life and he isnt.

This guy is the biggest douche bag and stalker - he just will not leave her alone. She needs to get another restraining order. He is obsessed and a sick individual obviously capable of anything. Get a life of your own douche--->
