Another day, another legal drama involving former Real Housewives of DC stars Tareq and Michaele Salahi.
This time around, it involves celebrity Montel Williams. TMZ is reporting Montel fired off a cease and desist letter to the Salahis for using his name to promote their winery without his permission!
While it was reported that the Salahis were auctioning off their winery yesterday, it turns out that auction is actually for their Oasis Vineyards company and not for their actual winery — the Oasis Winery. In fact, the gruesome twosome are planning a reopening on Sept 24 for the Oasis Winery.
And this is where Montel comes in. The Salahis listed Montel as one of their celebrity guests for the reopening party which was news to Montel.
His rep tells TMZ, “Montel doesn’t support the Salahis, doesn’t know them and did not give them permission to use his name.” The event organizers also falsely announced that Montel’s MS Foundation is involved with the event. Wowzers.
A cease and desist letter was fired off to the Salahis yesterday which demanded they stop using Montel’s name and foundation. Both his name and foundation have since been removed from the website.
And in usual Salahi fashion, they are claiming there was no wrong doing on their part, first telling TMZ they were not aware Montel’s name was even on the site.
Fast forward to today and the Salahis are now claiming they are not the ones behind the charitable event, you know, the one being held for the reopening of their Oasis Winery. Michaele claims, “The website Montel Williams is referring to is NOT a Salahi website. We don’t get involved with what customers of our winery do or who they invite.” Right.
Oddly enough, Tareq gave the Rumor Fix blog this statement about the event yesterday: “The Oasis Winery is in fact reopening on Sept 24 and it will be a very exclusive private party for our good friends in Politics to family/friends and long time supporters of the Salahis before & after the White House dinner party.” But apparently the event is now one of their customers, and not theirs.

TELL US – DOES ANYTHING THE SALAHIS DO SURPRISE YOU ANYMORE?









it always surprizes me when the media- of any sort looking to scape the bottom of the barrel-gives these two whores the time of day..
Lie and deny to the end. Maybe it will be Montel who finally takes them down!
RT -
What is is “cease and desist” thing I keep hearing about? Don’t you really mean “cyst and decease”?
Like MK from Dlisted say’s, “I just can’t anymore” with these assholes. What is there to say that hasn’t already been said? Same shit different day and still they will have idiots that defend them. Whatever.
Probably in the minority but I always like Michaele Salahi. She keeps a positive attitude even with all the negative media attention. Her and Stacy were the only nice ones on RHODC.
These poor poor Salahi’s…Somehow, they are always the victims. Nothing is ever their fault. What losers!
These two lie so much if they were to tell the truth NO ONE and i mean NO ONE would believe them. Why haven’t they been prosecuted for the entire white house incident? I mean we do have bigger issues but maybe if these two spend some time behind bars thinking of why they do the things they do maybe just maybe they would get their act together.
They all need to get real!
Will these two never go away?
Who would have their political function or party there?!?!?
GETEM Montel!
Another god awful couple Barvo TV unleashed on the world. Im sick of BravoTV
@11 Blech , I agree, get em!!!
They tell more lies , than walt Disney has stories … I can’t stand these people !!!!
what would surprise me is… the two of them actually telling the truth for once.
I guess Casey Anthony learned from the masters – she can’t tell the truth either. The three of them are PURE evil trash. So sad that good decent people go their whole lives working their fingers to the bone and get nowhere and these horrible human beings make money off of lying and deceit. Great country America.
Michaele’s skin always has an orange glow to it as if she has spent time in a nuclear plant.
@16deebdeeb – when I read Conya’s post, I was about to say exactly what YOU said! Jail didn’t do anything to change psychosociopath Casey Anthony – in fact she considers herself enough of a “celebrity” that (once found not guilty – notice I did not say “exhonerated” for she will never be) she took the hairpins out of her hair, slung it over her right shoulder like Paris Hilton, and walked out of the courtroom, telling all of us to kiss her ass.
The only One who can deal with Casey Anthony is a Higher Power…she will never “get away with it”…and we will all see it unfold.
The psychosociopathic Salahis will not change until a Higher Power -not the U.S. government, not Montel Williams, not Tarek’s mother – deals with them in a powerful, undeniable way . Just like Casey Anthony, O.J. Simpson, Teresa and Joe Guidice, certain politicians and others who have heartlessly taken advantage of others and thought they had gotten away with it, it will take God’s intervention.
Remember the murderer O.J. went for 10 years a free man, but Nevada nailed him on a much lesser charge – for more years than punishment for 2 murders would have brought! God is so good and loves irony!
The Salahis are like shite on the bottom of your shoe….you can never get rid of the smell! They are both under the scrutitny of law enforcement and are looking at jail time. Any bowling alleys need “Stars” for an opening?
Just like on their website for the Polo whatever, their listing sponsors who really arent. SMH and the gruesome twosome.
Is there any legal action we can take against BRAVO for bringing the Salahis into the public eye.
This is one of the reasons that I didn’t watch the DC Housewives and one of the reasons why I think that franchised tanked.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR !!!!!!
And what political figures would dare attend a party after the whole White House fiasco?
As an avid and huge fan of RealityTea.com, I propose there be no more articles or even mentions of the Salahis. These people are such trash and the lowest of the lows, they DON’T deserve the free publicity that RealityTea gives them. Positive (doubt there’s any of that) or negative, no one should post anything about the Salahis. All they want is attention and we are freely giving them ours.
Another point i that ALL stories about the Salahis are the same. They do something wrong, stupid, or completely low, get called out for it, and they make up some fabrication/lie. Its the same thing over and over again and frankly, I’m BORED OF IT
love or hate the Salahis we are all talking about them like the Kardashians.
I like the salahis. enough tragic stuff with the news about Russell Armstrong. this couple is strong that they take all this media crap and hang in there.
who cares about montel?
I truly am obsessed with the Salahis .
The salahis were the ONLY reason we watched the DC real housewives. without them on the show – boring snooze fest – those other women were really boring.
the salahis saved it
miami is boring too
These people are ridiculous…they will do ANYTHING!
Wow, I can’t believe these 2 criminals are still out whoring around. They need to be shunned.
@#4 Nell – As is evidenced by the post directly after yours!!! Hilarious.
Don’t be fooled by the Salami’s. They have no money and they’re not making any money. Their grand re-opening will be a flop. I wonder what grocery store they will buy the barrel stomping grapes from? Anyone who attends will be doing so only to get a good laugh, kind of like going to a comedy club for the night. They’re a joke.
This is the last time I will comment on a Salami thread. If their posts get no hits then RT will move on to writing about other people. Please, if any of you catch me making a comment on one of their threads, call me out!!!! I may need some intervention to go cold turkey.
They probably meant there is a picture Of montel on their Mantel at the re-opening. I don’t believe anything that comes out of any if these two openings.
@6 I agree.!! Poor victims- they don’t own anything – the website, the party, a vineyard, a white house invite, their actions..
I don’t understand why people still support the Salahis. I’ve read comments on this website that describe Michaele and Tariq as (I’m paraphrasing) a couple with positive attitudes who never trashed others. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I realize, but how can you say that?
Remember Lolly Amons? Tariq and Michaele both spread lies about Lolly saying she stole a vehicle and polo equipment, then posted evidence on Facebook, and was under investigation by the FBI. That’s slander in my book.
Your all just jealous of their wealth, celebrity , style and physical beauty!……………….
Was I convincing ?
Yes Bryan…. you almost go me….LMAO
Ops…GOT…
And their lies become even more grandiose! I can’t believe how truly compulsive these two are at lying, they’d lie about what they ate for breakfast. Someone posted something yesterday about that event and the password being MTV. I checked it out and saw exactly where they posted about Montel. They also stated that a portion of the donations would go to helping out those with MS. How much do you want to bet that that means Michaele? They’d end up keeping every last red cent they earned from that event if anyone was stupid enough to pay to go.
@37 Kim, can you believe the people who actually believe that??? I think a few have posted on here about them in the past.?
I wonder how they can afford the legal help they always seem to need. It seems constant and never ending. Who pays their legal bills?
And since the winery is now bankrupt….I wonder how his Mother feels. Didn’t his family actually own it and they were all fighting for it?
I bet the Mom is so proud…..he took the property…lied and caused it to go bankrupt. What a guy!
Lets hope the rumors of them moving to Cali are true. The sooner the better.
The story is funny. Montel isn’t someone that I can see them trying to get to their event? Montel is just desperate for the media attention.
sue. for what? an invite?
sheryl 42, the story is funny. But not as funny as your comment. Are you going to the big party? I’m bringing my grape stompin boots and wearing a sari! yeeeee HAW.
Wow, you know you are at the bottom of the barrel when the sleezey pitchman Montel Williams doesn’t want to be associated with you.
@44Chris GOOD POINT,!!
@36Bryan LOL
@ CeeJay
I think I will follow your lead and stop commenting on the Salahis as well.
Disgusting piles of worthless excrement both of them. Don’t give a rats behind how “nice” they are. Sometimes those that aren’t so nice are the ones with the biggest hearts and those that are “nice” are the wolves in sheeps clothing.
