“The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi has vowed to remain natural and not go under the knife because she feels it’s her personal responsibility as a role model (Seriously? Role model?) for young girls.

Gretchen is against any type of plastic surgery that includes breast implants. Is she trying to tell us those are natural? The reality star launched a new project “The Gretchen Project” aimed at “finding alternative ways to maintain everlasting beauty without having to go under the knife.”

“It is hard to stay strong and not go under the knife because I am surrounded by it,” the O.C. starlet said. “But ultimately I feel I have made the right choice for me and I can only hope it sets an example to young girls that you don’t have to have plastic surgery to feel beautiful and confident.”

Gretchen continues to fight her gold digger reputation, despite the fact she got engaged to a much older and wealthy man, Jeff Beitzel, who lost his battle with leukemia last year and made her a very rich woman (more details here).

“Everyone thinks that I am a gold digger! I made my own money before Jeff and make my own money now. I was a top selling real estate agent and was a very well do to and smart business woman. I am proud to say I purchased my own home, car and most of what I have today all on my own. I continue to work hard to have what I have today and will never need a man to take care of me. So technically speaking, ’sugar mama’ might fit me better than a ‘gold digger’,” she said.

Sugar Mama was also involved in a long list of scandals after Jeff’s death, which included men, nude photos and a lot of alcohol (photos here).
