(White House crasher) Former 'Real Husband' Salahi Sued by Virginia AG

He is also accused of representing "reputable businesses" as partners when they were not.

Also named in the suit are Virginia Wine Tourism, Inc. and Celebration Entertainment Productions, LLC. Cuccinelli's office said that Salahi is the "sole officer and director" of Virginia Wine Tourism and presumed to be the same for Celebration Entertainment Productions.

An e-mail request for comment from the companies drew the following unsigned response: "The fact is, the AG has been using the press to gain attention to his plan to one day run for governor and has been on a witch hunt against Mr. Salahi. The companies he refers to are in fact run by Mrs. Salahi, not Mr. Salahi, so they are going after the wrong person... "

I give Salahi all the benefit of the doubt here.

Cuccinelli is the asscarrot who tried to sue climate scientists for fraud.

The Oasis. I still have Oasis wine glasses we "stole" from there. It was a great place to hangout and drink wine and have a picnic. You could tell she was sleaze. He wasnt much better. His father and mother were nice though. Hes died recently but the wife is still there running the winery I believe.

Things are just not going well for Mr. Salahi. He and his wife lived the high life off of money they drained from his parents family business until it was forced to file for bankruptcy liquidation. They also lived off the charity donations they collected. Then they thought if they acted crazy enough they could earn money on reality TV. Well none of that has worked and so Mrs. Salahi has run off with her rich, married, rock star boyfriend. Once again back on top....living high on the hog with a new rocker chick wardrobe all paid for by the rock star. Looks like her only job is keeping him "satisfied." Poor Tareq is left behind to clean up their mess. Doubt anyone feels sorry for him.
BTW...If you look up the corporate filings for the two companies it list Mr. Salahi as the owner. Nice try.
