Scam Alert! Tareq Salahi Sued, and Now He Owes Money
The Salahis can’t seem to stay out of trouble, though conveniently that trouble always seems to come just as a new episode of “The Real Housewives of DC” is about to air. This week they’re in the headlines for a lawsuit against Tareq Salahi, Michaele’s husband, who’s being sued by one of the participants in a dubious charity polo event the couple runs.
You saw Lynda Erkiletian snark about the event on the series premiere two weeks ago; it supposedly raises money for the Journey for the Cure Foundation charity in Virginia.
But now it’s coming out that the whole thing just may be a scam, which resulted in the lawsuit against Tareq that went to court on Friday.
JB Printing & Specialty Services claims that it provided customized embroidered polo jackets, fleece blankets and straw hats for the Salahi event two years ago, at a price of $4,576.
That may seem like chump change for the Salahis — didn’t Tareq buy Michaele a horse and a bunch of couture for her birthday on last week’s episode? – but apparently Tareq didn’t feel he had to pay up. JB’s bill went unpaid for two years.
They filed a suit against Tareq, who skipped last Friday’s court date about the matter, and so the judge said he must pay.
Guess what? He hasn’t yet. Maybe Teresa Giudice could help him out on how to write a check?

These two have no money, it’s all smoke and mirrors. Someone needs to force them to take responsibility for the larceny. They never had any intention of paying for it from the start.
Lori commented on Aug 27 10 at 9:33 pmTareq appears to be the ultimate wolf in sheeps clothing. I’m guessing Michaele is getting duped as well. Some people are so good at manipulating and they prey on naivete. At this level they can dupe those close to them for years. She doesn’t appear to be to be as calculated and deceiving as Tareq. I bet one day Michaele wakes up and realizes the delusion she’s been under.
