Tareq Salahi Divorce: Officially Splits From Wife Michaele Salahi

Tareq Salahi, husband of former The Real Housewives of D.C. star Michaele Salahi, filed for divorce Friday on the grounds of adultery. The Salahis, who were previously known for attending a White House state dinner without an invitation, made headlines earlier this week when Tareq reported his wife missing Tuesday night. The Warren County , Va. Sheriff’s department confirmed that Michaele was fine, staying “with a good friend,” and didn’t want to return home. It was later confirmed that the friend was Journey guitarist Neal Schon.
Schon is mentioned by name in the papers, and Tareq stresses the humiliation caused by the public’s knowledge of his wife’s affair. “Over the objections of me, she continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused me to suffer great harm, humiliation, and embarrassment,” says the complaint.
Salahi states in the divorce filing that "[Michaele] continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused me to suffer great harm, humiliation and embarrassment." Indeed, TMZ reports that Michaele had bragged to friends about her "wild sex" with Schon.


The divorce papers indicate that a prenuptial agreement exists, but does not provide details of the terms.


The couple first landed in the spotlight in 2009 after crashing a White House state dinner. Michaele was a former cast member on "Real Housewives of D.C." before the show was canceled after one season.
