If you’ve been watching The Real Housewives of D.C., you’re totally familiar with the fame-hungry and super desperate Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the owners and operators of Oasis Winery in Virginia. The couple also made headlines last year when they snuck into the Congressional Black Caucas Dinner and Bravo is quickly realizing that these two are serious trouble in the making.
From a source who spoke to PopEater:
“The DC show is the only show in the entire franchise that isn’t a true hit. And the Salahi’s are the biggest reason for that. At first, execs thought they struck gold with all the attention the couple got over the White House dinner. But now they realize not all press is good press and this couple’s involvement in the show has turned more viewers off than on.”
But the straw that broke the camel’s back was not the drama within the show, but the drama the Salahi’s have been creating off-screen. After they crashed the White House dinner, the couple refused to discuss the incident publicly and claimed that Bravo silenced them with a NDA. Bravo responded to these claims and said that the Salahi’s are under no such contract. They gave PopEater the following statement, “Bravo [has] consistently and repeatedly stated to the Salahis and their representatives that they were free to speak to press, law enforcement, Congress and anyone else about attending the State Dinner. Indeed, they have given multiple press interviews on that very subject.”
See ya, Tareq and Michaele.
No, they’re not THE reason for it. They actually add a small amount of much needed drama/something! The show is so boring due to alot of factors. I’m just waiting for The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills!!
The reason that Housewives of DC is not being watched is because we are getting overloaded with Real Housewive shows. ATL, NY, OC and NJ are enough! Bravo should change their name to the Real Housewives Network. That seems like that is all they show anymore.
I really don’t want to watch a show about a buch of DC Socialites living off my tax money. The parties they go to thrown by Congresspeople are being paid for with my tax money. I don’t want to watch someone at a party that number 1, I as a tax payer am paying for and number 2 as a person paying for their party did not get invited to. If I am paying for a party I damn well at the least get an invite to it!
