Michaele Salahi has been kicked off Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab because she lacked the one thing you need to enter rehab – an addiction!
A production source tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively that The former Real Housewives of D.C. star was released from the show on Tuesday because she failed to show any signs of addiction.
"Michaele Salahi was discharged by Dr. Drew Pinsky approximately one hour ago. Michaele has a ton of issues but she clearly has no addiction issues, whatsoever,” says the source.
“Michaele was a distraction to other cast members, and was complaining that Dr. Drew wasn't properly treating her MS.
“Dr. Drew did a thorough medical examination of her, including a full neurological check-up, and she is fine. Michaele is all drama, that is her main issue."
But according to her husband Tareq, who spoke exclusively with Breaking Celebrity News, Michaele only agreed to do Celebrity Rehab to get help from Dr. Drew for her Multiple Sclerosis.
"She was really leaning on Dr. Drew who is a respected doctor to get her through some of the issues after the White House, when she went to Congress, when she went into relapse with her Multiple Sclerosis. She takes this very seriously."
Tareq adds that Michaele takes her condition seriously and that it was the show that wanted her to pretend to be something she wasn’t. Tareq says he now has plans of exposing the makings of reality shows on national television.
