Michaele Salahi Accuses Tareq Salahi of Physical Violence In New Lawsuit

In today’s not so shocking news, former Real Housewives of DC star Michaele Salahi is accusing her estranged husband, Tareq Salahi, of physical violence in a new lawsuit.

In the suit, uncovered by TMZ, Michaele wants a judge to grant her a separation asap as she states Tareq is a violent control freak who uses psychotic scare tactics and physical violence to control her.

Michaele, who famously ran away with Journey guitarist Neal Schon back in September, says she did so to get away from Tareq because she feared for her safety.

As for the physical abuse claims, Michaele says the final straw came on September 11 when she returned home a few hours late from running an errand. She alleges Tareq waited for her in the dark, in the basement and told her she needed to learn a lesson. Michaele ended up fleeing with Neal two days later.

Tareq is of course denying the allegations, telling TMZ that Michaele is a “chronic liar” while calling her allegations “absurd.”  Tareq insists he truly loved her and did all he could to support her during their marriage.

Last month, Tareq filed a $17 million lawsuit against Michaele and Neal  for what he called “publicly humiliating him with their torrid affair.”

  1. Nobody gives a damn about these grifting skanks!!

  2. Michaele accused Whoopi Goldberg of hitting her on the View when viewers could clearly see Whoopi tap her lightly on the shoulder and ask her to stay on topic, so I’m not sure I believe anything that comes out of her mouth regarding physical violence. Don’t believe anything that comes out of Tareq’s mouth either though.

  3. YAWN . . . . I thought we were rid of these people!

  4. @1 gigi, LOL!!!!

    Too bad they weren’t together still couldn’t you see them trying to crash Kyle’s white party LOL!!!!

    I think Tareq was a controlling jerk loser – with lawsuits between him and his parents – not a good family background. Run Michaele – keep running and “party on” while you can.

    Tareq is one of the creepiest HW husband ever.

  7. They all have issues and just need to go away!

  8. We have a liar whore wife calling a loser scumbag husband violent….um, haven’t we heard this before?

  9. Complete Trash.

  10. @ 7 Here here Sallie. Michelle let’s hope you have the 911 calls, police reports, medical reports to back up your claims of physical violence. Until then you are no better than that grifter Fish Lips.

  11. Whats next a book???

    I have to disagree with you on this, I think Russell was the creepiest HW husbands.

  13. No, a movie of the week with her starring in the leading role.

  14. They both need therapy for real. Watching DC Housewives you could tell there was come control and type of abuse. He never let her out his sight. I say good riddens.

  15. Pattie should set up Taylor with Tareq the con artist, he wouldn’t be too far from her ex Russell… such a catch! and she is very much like Michaele…tall, thin, money hungry… It would be a match made in grifters’ heaven.

  16. I’m waiting for Tareq to “reveal” Michaele doesn’t have MS. I’m thinking that will be next for these two fools.

  17. put a stinky blonde wig on tareq and he’d be lynn hudson’s long lost twin.

  18. new reality show…tareq and taylor !!

  19. Have her prove she has MS. All I see it a skinny bony ugly old skank. MS is too good for her.

    Hi everyone!!!! I’m baaacccckkk! LOL

    Well this doesn’t surprise me at all and I don’t know who to believe BUT I will say, KARMA IS A BITCH!!!

  21. First fishlips, now this one- how many more false reports of abuse are we gonna have to endure?

  22. Boy, they’ll do anything to stay relevant. How many times is she going to re-use the same story. Just go away!

  23. I could picture Tareq hiding in the dark and waiting. He seems a little more off his rocker of the two.

  24. Here we go again on the domestic abuse. And again with two people who have no credibility. I have to agree with a previous poster who noted that Tareq has lawsuits within his own family and that does not make him look good. Michaele is flightly as hell and let’s remember her cheerleader scam bit. They are both nuts.

    Let’s try and picture Tareq hiding in the shadows of their basement, waiting to jump out, to scare Michaele. If that is true, he is one weird dude. It sounds like a cheesey bad “Lifetime movie.”

  25. someone oughta knock the FUGLY outta both em, buncha fools..

  26. He probably did wait for her in the dark! Probably the only way he could get some! The sneak attack!

  27. @26 He seemed horny the whole time on the show, salivating over “hot” Michaele, so I don’t doubt it. That Michaele has something going on the other guy is just as crazy about her!

  28. He is psychotic, waiting in the dark in the basement…who does that? I always thought that he had mental problems. Not that I like her. BUT this shows exactly who got who into that dinner it was all him she had to live with all that crap after he is crazy……
    gonna sue me tareq?

    I think these ignorant fucks are really the parents of the Kartrashians!!!

  30. She’s such a skank hoe.

    Your right, no one cares about these grifters. The only reason she ran away from Tareq was because he had no more money. The new guy from Journey won’t stay long with you Michaele, it’s just a matter of months.

    They’re BOTH chronic liars :/

    However, despite that, I wouldn’t doubt it if Tareq really did physically abuse Michaele. There wasn’t something right with their marriage…

  33. I could’ve sworn I read a report that said when Michaele went on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab they had done a complete physical on her (as well as the other patients), and it turned out she didn’t have MS.

  34. I’m sick of women (and I suppose a few men here and there) of using the “abuse” card wayyyy after the fact.
    If you don’t report it to the police immediately I’m just not going to believe you.
    Plus it I don’t care if the Salahi’s used to beat each other to a pulp….who cares?

    @33 Observer, true! She threatened to sue Dr. Drew as well.
    Even her Mom got in on the action.

    They make me so sick with their stupid lawsuits!

    They sue everybody and now each other!

    These 2 need the Speidi treatment.
    No more stories, go away

  36. Not that I care, but the other DC housewives often commented about the control tareq had over her and how much she changed while with him. I think she was brainwashed, which wouldn’t take much considering the size of her brain.

  37. @13 Lover, 24 Dani – Lifetime movie…LMAO!!

    Just thought he was probably hanging out in the dark cuz they didn’t have money to pay the Electric bill & when his hefer ass bumped into her skinny ass she went flying across the room…

  38. @24 Dani Well…the Salahi’s really are a bad lifetime movie. LOL
    Look…Tareq is seriously off his rocker I wouldn’t put anything past him…creepy is his middle name. Michale’s no prize either for that matter. Tareq’s 17million dollar lawsuit is typical for him. I wonder who the douchebag atty. is that takes on Tareq’s cases?

  39. when Michaele first left Tareq she never mentioned any abuse! she proclaimed she always loved Neal and didn’t want to hurt anyone meaning Tareq in an exclusive interview! so, for this abuse lie to suddenly surface it’s a ploy because her pre-nup agreement has a term if she cheats and moves out of the marital home she get’s nothing! but, with Neals history abusing all his ex’s (mentally & physically) Michaele found a “real” abuser that she now is shacking up with for money! good she deserves it! she is not credible! liar! Tareq is a pussy cat compared to the storm of Neal! there’s a rumor that Neal is gonna have Michaele sign a pre-nup for a flat rate of $10,000.00 when he is ready to boot her out to trade her in for a new younger model!

  40. I want to know who goes in to their basement without turning on the light? Did he think that he was still invisible with the lights on?

    I think he “brain rinsed” her as she doesn’t have enought of a brain for a full wash!!!!!!
