2009 White House gatecrash incident
Michaele and Tareq Salahi, a Virginia couple under consideration to appear on The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C., entered the White House and greeted President Barack Obama on November 24, 2009, in the receiving line for 400 invited guests. Three days later, the United States Secret Service publicly stated the Salahi couple were not invited to the event and, although they went through magnetometers and other levels of screening, should have been prohibited from the event altogether. Bravo producers said they had been filming the Salahis before the dinner, but were told the couple were invited.[11]
