Real Housewives of D.C. ~ Season 1

[anniemae]

what happened on wwhl?? I fell asleep.

 

[minniebeth]

Nobody's mentioned that at the end of the season finale that Michaele's blurb included the fact that she revealed she's battled MS for the last 17yrs.?
I don't know much about MS, but could that account for her being so thin and
awkward at times?

so what's the deal with a reunion show-are they having one or not?

originaly there was to be a 2 parter airing this thursday and the following, but my direct tv guide shows only "tbd" for the time slot, and when i go to the bravo site it's "tbd" on their schedular for those days as well (and i don't see any mention of a reunion pending).

 

[RUDisney]

The reunion is supposed to be on Thursday night with the RHWofBH following. At least that's what Andy said on WWHL.

Not much happened on WWHL. Tareq said that they are vindicated because RHW showed that they didn't lie at the checkpoint. However, he fails to remember that we only saw one checkpoint, so we don't know how they talked their way into the WH in reality. That was the gist of all they had to say.

 

[koolaidmoms]

I missed them on Watch What Happen Live, did they say they were fired then?

Also will there be a reunion show?

As far as I have seen they were not fired. Someone said on here wrote fried not fired but I have not seen or heard that anywhere.

It said there was supposed to be a reunion show and they showed a clip from it so ....

several media outlets have reported it though bravo has not verified it.

given that in the new book published about the couple they are blaming their contract with bravo for being one of the main reasons they took the 5th with the investigation of the event, and they are threatening lawsuits against all the other h.w's on the show (for defaming them by calling them 'party crashers') i'm guess while it might not have been a firing, their contract just is expired and won't be renewed (cuz don't the h.w. contracts preclude lawsuits against each other?).



btw-michaele is going to be in playboy

Me I did and I was making reference to the show and how all the housewives and their spouses and friends just were so absolutely DISGUSTED with the Salahi's and their GATE/PARTYING CRASHING.

WELL the Salahi's got FRIED last night!!!!

As far as the Salahi's being fired, there are quite a few articles online stating that Bravo fired them ... here is one.

Do you have a link?

I think they are headed towards bankruptcy and this may help with some of their debt???

it was reported in september on tmz-if you do a search it comes up.

she's not doing one of the 'artsy' pictorials-this one is going to be the full monty.

I guess desperate measures for desperate people.

Yup, I am so thinking they need the money. She mentioned on WWHL's that she sold her PARTY CRASHING DRESS for like $7,000 and donated the money to MS and Haiti ... hmm ... I wonder if that is true????

 

[koolaidmoms]

According to this it looks like they may actually have sold the dress for $7,000.

Salahi's Sell Sari

It was bought by the salon where she had her hair done before the WH dinner.

 

[2Kds2K9]

What disturbed me the most about the whole thing is that they had/have no remorse. When it was mentioned that a person was fired over their "party crashing" Tareq acted like "oh well, not my problem." The WH social secretary was eventually fired. Also, no remorse or sympathy when they found out that Cat had been uninvited to the WH Christmas Party.

They keep saying this will all come out, but when and where? Are they going to write a book? If so, hope they realize it will be a bust.

On WWHL, it was funny to listen to Michael talk her way around being a Redskinette! What a riot! Oh the web we weave.......

Karma is coming to get them!

So she really never was a Redskin cheerleader?? I can't figure out why you would lie about something that can be easily proven. Unless they are starting to believe the tales they have told...?

I also wonder if she would lie about something that can be so easily verified. And what was the clip from alumni cheerleader practice? She certainly knew all the ladies that were there.

 

[disneyhand]

Did we ever hear why the Salahi's got ready at the salon? I found that odd although I understand the hair and makeup part.
They are both just so beyond flakey and never give a straight answer that clears up anyones questions.

 

[2Kds2K9]

Her tale of being a Redskinette was quite concocted. She first stated that she was one in the 80's but then didn't want her age revealed, so she was moved to the Redskinette "Roster" in the 90's. But then it turns out that she joined their Association, which anyone can join. So, that's how she got in with the girls. No one in the main office nor any one of the real Redskinettes can verify that she was ever an official Redskinette.

My thought is that if she really does have MS, then she probably could not have been a Redskinette due to insurance reasons. They aren't going to want that kind of liability if she were to get hurt. (not to open a can of worms here. 1) I hope she's not lying about the disease, and 2) I don't think people should be denied insurance due to pre-existing conditions.)

And if Hugh Hefner wants her to pose for Playboy, then that old boy needs to get some better glasses and retire. Yech!

Yes, I caught the comment about her joining the "association" too. Sounds like even I could pay to be in it and believe me, I'm no cheerleader. Way too clumsy and really so is she.
Again she over answered a simple question with lots of details that were evasive and confusing. Same as lying in my book!

It did look like she knew everyone there.
I think this was not the first Redskin event she showed up for, so they may recognize her from that.

Also, she tends to act like she belongs everywhere, with lots of smiles, hugs, kisses, I love you's. But often, if you look closely at the other person, they don't look like they are that close with her. They may have a semi-confused look that says "not entirely sure who you are, but I will play along and smile since you seem to know me well". You know how it is when someone recognizes you and is so polite and glad to see you, but you can't remember them? So you politely play along, smile back, while frantically trying to remember who they are. I think that is the driving theme of their social life.

 

[anniemae]

As for the cheerleading, she was on one of those shows like Access Hollywood and they asked her point blank if she was ever a redskins cheerleader and she was stammering and hemming and hawing. Finally the interviewer, who sounded annoyed, said, "Did you ever cheer for the Redskins, YES, OR NO?" She looked down and said, "no." then she said she was part of the P.R. for the alumi or something like that.

Did we ever find out if they had the e-mail that they claimed proved they were invited to the white house?

On one episode, the hairdresser asked to see the invitation, and M, went out to the car, and was looking for it, then claimed the bag was left at home. Did they ever have an official invite?

 

[2Kds2K9]

Michael has yet to produce the official invite. From what the local papers were saying, this was the Salahi's calling the WH to get the invite due to the Salahi's connection to India and Polo. There was a lot of confusion and supposedly M was on the phone all day trying to get things confirmed before they left for the dinner. (She kept saying she was calling about what to wear. ) But, it sure didn't look that way on the show. Also, they did not state on the show that there was no place for them to sit and eat. So, I guess their ploy of showing up knowing that someone won't, didn't work and that's how they got caught.

From what I've heard locally, the vinyard has yet to reopen.
