Bravo has finally announced a premiere date for Season 4 of "Shahs of Sunset" and GG Gharachedaghi is taking the time to clear up some nasty rumors.
According to Reality Tea, Gharachedaghi spoke to former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gretchen Rossi at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival about allegations that Mike Shouhed raped her.
The rumors started months ago when Bravo and Ryan Seacrest were promoting "Shahs's" fourth season. Back in September, the network posted a description of Season 4, writing, "this season finds much of the cast in love with success abounding, but when a scandalous accusation shakes the crew, their lifelong friendships may be changed forever."
Reality Tea reports that Seacrest elaborated on the "scandalous accusations" writing on his website that the cast was very upset over something that took place between Shouhed and Gharachedaghi during a trip to Turkey.
"The gang is reeling from something that went down between Mike and GG when they all traveled to Turkey last season, a trip that seemed to bring them together at the time," Seacrest shared. "But now, she says that he tried to sleep with her against her will, and she even takes a lie-detector test to prove she's telling the truth!"
While walking the red carpet at Sundance, Rossi (who was acting as guest correspondent for RumorFix) asked Gharachedaghi about the upcoming season of "Shahs."
"Unfortunately, there was a big rumor floating around that I said he raped me," she said. "I want to clear that up here and now for the first time to say I never said that he raped me. I would never wish that to even be out there on him. As much as he and I didn't get along because of something that does happen on the season, I would never wish for that type of lie to be put on him. I never said that."
Gharachedaghi told Rossi that she believes the media "manipulated" her comments and blew the story out of proportion.
"I can't say too much but he did try to do something - it wasn't rape - he made me uncomfortable," Gharachedaghi said. "That whole story will come out this season. Everybody will see it from start to finish, on how I bring it up, what happens, and his future wife Jessica [Parido] being involved."
Season 4 of "Shahs of Sunset" premieres March 2 on Bravo.
