White House party-crashers Tareq and Real Housewives of D.C. star Michaele Salahi are making headlines again, but this time they’re not on the same page. Tareq told police that Michaele, his wife, was missing on Tuesday, but on Wednesday authorities released a statement saying Michaele had reassured them “she had left the residence with a good friend and was where she wanted to be.” She also apparently said she didn’t want Tareq to know where she had gone, and sounded “calm” and “engaged in the conversation” on the phone. Tareq has since maintained that her kidnapper forced her to make the call, but police are sticking with Michaele’s story and have reportedly been in touch with her friends to ensure her safety. TMZ reported late on Wednesday that Michaele ran off with Neal Schon, the lead guitarist for the band Journey. A rep for Journey told TMZ, "Nobody kidnapped her and they are in Memphis together."
