In a very revealing interview with The Daily Beast, former RHODC's Michaele Salahi and new beau, Journey guitarist Neal Schon have decided to break their silence over their scandalous affair that has rocked the headlines for about a week now!
Schon, who has been married 5 times previously (yea....A HOT AZZ MESS), described their romance as a fairytale:
“It’s like a fairy tale. It is, it really is,” Schon said from a hotel room in Tampa. “I’m very happy, very happy after waiting for her for 15 years. Now I want to get beyond all this media hype that Tareq has put out there. It’s really quite embarrassing.”
Michaele and him knew each other previously to this affair. But she chose to marry Tareq. FOR WHY???
“I chose Tareq over Neal because I thought life would be less stressful living on a vineyard in Virginia. Life on the road with a rock band … well, I thought I might not have been able to keep up.” Yet during research for the book last year, in private talks away from her husband, Michaele made it clear she still had deep feelings for Neal. “Neal was like, ‘Are we going to do this forever?’ And I said, ‘No, we’re not,’” Michaele said of the moment she realized it was time to make another life decision. “I began to see he really loved me. I had to begin to feel it completely–in my soul.” That was when she knew she would leave her husband.
Now that it has been confirmed RHODC star Michaele Salahi ran off and cheated with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, it was pretty apparent that her husband Tareq Salahi would file for divorce (which he did).
Now the wine vineyard owner is speaking with ENews about his wife calling her a "groupie slut". I SWEAR....I can't make this shyt up!
"I first searched the house, just completely, because my wife has multiple sclerosis, so it wouldn't be out of the question that perhaps something had happened to her. As the evening went on, I got a phone call from her at seven o'clock in the evening, and at that time, she said ‘Hi, love. How are you? I'm on my way home. I'm just gonna stop at my mom's house real quick." Unfortunately, after speaking with Michaele's mother, the betrayal Tareq was about to experience started to unravel as she informed him that Michaele had never paid her a visit. As if that weren't bad enough, the RHODC husband shares that he received an email that was a "disturbing" picture of—wait for it—Schon's penis! "This was the lewdist, most disgusting thing I had seen. And I didn't understand, why in the world would Neal Schon would be sending a picture of his penis to us at Oasis, our master account." As far as Michaele's actions of going on tour with a rock band, well, to Tareq, that's what "a groupie slut does," and the fact that Schon's been married five times (and is married right now) makes Tareq believe that this situation will definitely happen again, but next time "Michaele will be the victim."
