Perhaps "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" should be renamed "Queer Eye for the Scorned Gal."Dawn Steele, a New Jerseyan whose ex-husband was featured on this season's premiere episode, says the furniture the Fab Five unceremoniously dumped belonged to her — a gift from her late grandparents.
On top of that, she claims the renewal of marriage vows — which the style mavens arranged for Army Spec. Ray Steele and his new wife Maria — sidestepped the fact that the original wedding happened before Ray divorced her, making him a bigamist.
And the show made Ray, 38, look like a hero about to be sent off to war, when he really is a womanizer who left behind out-of-wedlock children, his ex-wife claims.

"Issues were raised," said Bravo, the cable network which produces the show. "We've looked into the matter and have determined the claims are not true."

The problem is that Steele and his ex-wife did not finalize their divorce until late September, leaving a precariously narrow window between that and the "renewal" of vows for another wedding to take place.
It's not a problem, said Ray Steele's lawyer, José Bastarrika; the Colombian marriage never happened.
"There was a ceremony with her family and friends for him to commit himself to her and profess his love," Bastarrika said. "But there was no marriage."
Dawn still maintains that Ray cheated on her and had two children with other women while they were married, and does little now to help take care of their 6-year-old daughter.
While the show stated that Ray Steele was supposed to be sent to Iraq late last year, he has yet to ship out, said Carolee Nesbit, a spokeswoman for Fort Dix, where he is stationed.

Hush up! You're being too logical.
ROFLMAO!
I don't get "We".
[and I'm not missing much, right?]
I vaguely remember that show. LMAO "Praying Mantis" is the Kung-fu style I train. That's pretty funny.
I watch Monster Garage, Biker Build-off and all those shows with Himself.
Can't recall the name of the show where the guy in the garage is constantly ripping out and replacing stuff on stock trucks with Super-mega-Ultra Performance parts.
[I'm not even allowed to breathe in a distracting manner, much less talk during the "instructions" segment]...LOL!
Whoozat?
Never heard of her.
I couldn't live without VH1 Classics.
I'm joyously reliving the 80s!....:))
Rachel is the chef on "30 Minute Meals". I find myself attracted to her for some strange unexplained reason.
"Wax on; wax off"
That exhausts my entire knowledge base of martial arts...:)
[but do I know a couple of nasty punches my dad taught me when they made all the prison guards take Karate lessons]
Oh!
*That* lady!
She's so warm and charming and genuine.
She's got that everybody's wonderful mom/sister/girlfriend quality.
I think it's because it's like having a girl friend but with "different" equipment.
I find nothing charming/funny/enchanting/fascinating about them at all.
[in truth, they give me the skin-crawling heebie-jeebies]...:))
Too funny. Aboard the Roberts ship, we call it "The Victim of The Week Channel".
This ship's gonna get mighty confusing because now I have a whole new bunch of "alternate names".....:))
Once I caught Himself watching some torrid courtroom murder drama on it, unwittingly. I yelled "What the hell are watching *that* channel for?!?"
For a week I worried his mind had been permanently altered.
Then "Monster Trucks" came on and everything was right in the world, again.
[sneaky little channel, that]
The most important thing I learned is that whatever works to allow you go home alive is good technique. All the flowery stuff is useless in a real situation anyway. I prefer walking away if it's possible.
LOL
Nope. Pretty much a Lifetime clone.
What's up with that? Do you know any guys who want their women to be more masculine? Is it that "friends" thing? Do they want someone to go shopping with?
Oh sure...you laugh...but now I -must- have a Hemi in my 4Runner and I don't *care* if he says it's physically impossible!
[and wasn't it a nasty coincidence that I just found the photos where he'd put the dual turbocharged engines in the back of a Datsun PU?...he could do it if he *wanted* to]....;))
