Michaele Salahi Denies She's Anorexic; Rips Real Housewives Of D.C. Co-Stars
Posted on Aug 16, 2010 @ 06:15AM

Michaele Salahi, the world’s most infamous ‘gatecrasher’ and star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of D.C., is responding to claims she is anorexic — and has her co-stars in her sights.
Proving the pen in mightier than the sword, the over-the-top blonde has penned a brutal blog in which she dissects a number of her co-stars and provides a cutting assessment of arch-rival Lynda Erkiletian, who has accused Michaele of being paper-like thin.

“Lynda takes pleasure in tearing down other women, which I think is wrong,” Michaele wrote on her website, adding she is “sick of her not being up front and talking behind my back”.
While Lynda admits she's had worries about costar Michaele’s health, the D.C. Housewife insisted last week she has never called Salahi anorexic.
"At the beginning of filming, when I would see her I felt that she had lost a lot of weight and I was genuinely concerned," Lynda said.

"As a [modeling] agent, I don't ever use the A-word, which she's been parading around and making up and the media has picked up on. I know better."
But according to Michaele, Lynda -- who she met 15 years ago when working as a make-up artist -- is obsessed with her former pal turned foe’s weight.
“Lynda, as seen in episode one and again in this episode, continued with her obsessive behavior, ranting and raging about my weight... good grief,” Michaele wrote.
“Who cares what size I am?”

Said Michaele, “I have tried my best to teach Lynda that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes -- and shines from within.
“I have repeatedly forgiven Lynda for her anger and hate, and have moved forward. Girls need to celebrate one another and build each other up. Life is hard enough!”
Michaele also took aim at co-stars Catherine Ommanney and Mary Schmidt Amons, who visited the Salahis now closed winery for a polo lesson under the tutelage of husband Tareq, during the most recent episode.

As Mary arrived, clearly bemused, she said "we were told the dress code was going to be jeans" when she realized Michaele had dressed up in riding chaps for the occasion.
According to Michaele, both Catherine and Mary “are always the type of women who have to wear what I wear”.
“Silly really,” she wrote.

“Cat and Mary decided that they wanted to be a little sarcastic about my attire - they were upset that they were in jeans and I was wearing riding pants.
“I am married to a polo player - of course I wear riding pants.”
As for Mary, a second generation Washingtonian who spent summers at the Kennedy residences as a child, Michaele noted: “It was a dream for Mary to get involved in our world and to be included in the polo and the wine community.”

OMG! Bravo couldn't have found a more boring, less attractive couple if they tried! She looks like a scrawcrow in a field after a bad storm! He is an idiot. Together their IQ can't be over 50. These LOSERS need to ride off into the sunset

As far as the DC show, did anyone else think Mary's husband modeling the RED pants for Mary when selecting his attire for an award at an event was copying Simon on the New York show??? The blunt rude gal, Cat, from London is over the top.

Mary is from an extremely WEALTHY family in McLean,VA. She is THIRD generation not 2nd. Mary has been riding all of her life and played polo extremely well on the show. Now Linda is rude to Michaele. I do not like Michele's husband.

Wow she really played the too thin comment for all it's worth and then some. Unfortunatly it's getting old. Message to Michaele; "grow up and stop it, your making a ccomplete ass out of yourself" Apparently this can't be the first time.

PHONY! MS is such a laughable FAKE! She and hubby are the current biggest wannabes around. Both just scream PATHETIC when they open their mouths. Watch the show last night out of boredom but won't bother again. Salahi's are pitiful.

And as far as her "size" and choice of clothing..she looks like a walking skeleton, wearing a tablecloth from a single wide trailer in the White House photos. She needs a personal shopper to choose her clothing, looks like a slut now.

Bravo made a mistake when they included her in the cast. She's so boring and hubby is so ridiculous. Show might be interesting without for them..won't bother to watch again unless they are dropped. She whines more than the Lohans!
