Sometimes couples are together because they share intrigue more than love or even marriage. And for others, love and marriage become entwined with titillating experiences and danger. The White House gate-crashers are a couple who seem to thrive on drama and involvement in lawsuits. In fact their gate-crashing at the White House was filmed by Bravo.
According to the New York Times “The Secret Service is investigating how a couple aspiring to be reality-show celebrities managed to appear at President Obama’s first state dinner without being on the guest list, provoking questions about security at the White House.The inquiry was begun after a Virginia couple, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, slipped past multiple layers of high-level White House security.”
The Times further noted that “Producers for Bravo, the cable channel, have been following and filming the couple this fall. The channel confirmed that Michaele Salahi was being seriously considered for the coming series ‘The Real Housewives of D.C.’”
It was Brian Williams of NBC News who first noticed that the couple’s car was turned away. They hoped out and gained access through a pedestrian entrance. Within hours, Michaele Salahi had photos on her Facebook page pictured rubbing elbows with those who were on the White House guest list. Obamas’ Uninvited Guests Prompt an Inquiry
