Tareq Salahi Divorce: Officially Splits From Wife Michaele Salahi

Tareq Salahi has officially filed for divorce after his wife, Michaele, left him for Journey guitarist Neal Schon on Tuesday.

In divorce papers filed Friday and published by TMZ, Salahi cites abandonment and "an adulterous relationship with one Neal Schoun," as the cause of the split, adding, "I also understand that his rock band, Journey, paid for her travel, accommodations and other expenses." This, despite his lawyer's comment Tuesday that it was premature to say if the couple would split.

Salahi first reported his wife missing on Tuesday. It was later revealed that she was safe and with Schon in Memphis, Tennessee.

Salahi states in the divorce filing that "[Michaele] continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused me to suffer great harm, humiliation and embarrassment." Indeed, TMZ reports that Michaele had bragged to friends about her "wild sex" with Schon.

The divorce papers indicate that a prenuptial agreement exists, but does not provide details of the terms.

The couple first landed in the spotlight in 2009 after crashing a White House state dinner. Michaele was a former cast member on "Real Housewives of D.C." before the show was canceled after one season.

Wow, two women I really respected felled by their sex drives in one week - Sarah and Michaele.

What on earth could you have "respected either of them for"? Self promotion? In this culture, I guess that qualifies... for something.

Oh poor baby,. boo hoo for Tareq. He was using her to get attention, clearly she is better to look at than he is but I don't feel sorry for her either. Total liar scam artist and dumb blonde. These two actually deserve each other and no one feels sorry for either. MOVE ON PLEASE!

Michaele and most of the "blondes" in the US are bottle blondes and they give a bad name to the true blondes who (most of them) are not dumb at all.

The entire marriage was a sham, both the husband and the wife using each other for fame and fortune.

Let Michaele enjoy her fling, then take the prodigal wife back lovingly.

This guy was all over the police screaming she was abducted. Now we found out she went off with some semi-has-been rock guitarist.

If there was ever a reason to keep people from divorcing this should be it-- they so deserve each other and should never be free to inflict themselves on anyone else.

Now if only they would pay their bills.
