The Real Housewives of D.C. Slam Michaele Salahi

Whoopi Goldberg is not the only person to despise Michaele Salahi . Just one episode into The Real Housewives of D.C. on Bravo, the reality star’s castmates are already talking badly about her and even making threats about future seasons. After Michaele and husband Tareq didn’t appear at the show’s season premiere party yesterday, Catherine Ommanney said: “I don’t want to see them; I don’t want to talk to them. I don’t want to be associated with them.” Would she return for a second season if the Salahis were still part of the cast? “Absolutely, categorically, no. I’ll have to have therapy the rest of my life to get over being associated with her.” Another Housewife, Lynda Erkiletian, shared a similar sentiment with Us Weekly : “I was very happy to hear that they had their own premiere party and would be attending that and not torturing us any more than they have in the past.” Meanwhile, Mary Schmidt Amons takes the side of Goldberg when it comes to the tiff between Salahi and The View . She says: “I don’t think the Salahis are really good at saying they’re sorry to anyone. It’s not my place to judge. All I know is that the accusations coming forward from the Salahi camp are completely false. It was on camera, a 200-person audience – Whoopi was just trying to encourage her to get back on task to the question, just get back to the question and answer the question.” Hmmm… remember when Stacie Scott Turner said this version of the Housewives franchise would focus on sophistication over fighting ? That was funny.

Michaele Salahi Confirmed as a Real Housewife of D.C.

Bravo has confirmed the latest Sign of the Apocalypse: Michaele Salahi, who made headlines with husband Tareq in November 2009 by actually crashing a White House party , has officially been cast on The Real Housewives of D.C. The network refers to the five chosen women as “connected D.C. power players,” who “have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings, and fundraisers in Washington society.” Then again, four of the cast members in this diverse city are white; and their occupations include a modeling agency owner, a real estate agent and, well, Michaele Salahi. If these are connected players in our nation’s capital… the nation is in serious trouble! Joining Salahi (pictured) on the series, which premieres August 5, are: Catherine Ashley Ommanney : New to the country, this British interior designer moved to America in the summer of 2008 when she married Charles Ommanney, a prizewinning photojournalist with Newsweek . The couple has two kids, Jade and Ruby. Mary Schmidt Amons : A mother of five, who is described by Bravo as “the true Washingtonian and granddaughter of radio and TV personality Arthur Godfrey.” Stacie Scott Turner : A graduate of Howard University and owner of a Harvard MBA. She worked in marketing at BET before becoming a real estate agent. Involved in many political fundraisers. Lynda Erkiletian : The 52-year old is a divorced mother of four. Owns T.H.E. Artist Agency, a Georgetown modeling firm that represents hundreds of models and stylists. Bravo says she likes astrology, “shooting clay pigeons, riding ATVs and cooking a mean fried chicken.” Well, okay then. Which of these women will be the next Danielle Staub ? Sadly, millions of people will likely tune in to find out.
