Maybe it's a good thing Michaele Salahi skipped Bravo's official Real Housewives of DC premiere party.
The Washington Post reports that Michaele, 44, and her husband were presented with court papers from PR firm Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications during their own private party Thursday.

BWF alleges the couple owes more than $15,000 in unpaid fees from a 2008 polo event.
"It was an affidavit for debtors interrogatory," Steve Winter, president of BWF, said. "It means they'll have to appear in court to discuss their financial means -- how they are capable of paying off the debt."
According to one BWF employee, when Michaele's husband Tareq was handed the documents, he dropped them on the floor. When the process server tried to deliver them again, Tareq dropped the papers a second time and called security.
That same night, fellow castmate Catherine Ommanney told UsMagazine.com she was glad that Salahi was a no-show at the official premiere party.

"I don't want to see them; I don't want to talk to them," Ommanney sniped. "I don't want to be associated with them."
Tell Us What You Think
43Please take the Salahi's off the show. They contribute nothing. I have never seen two people who are such fame wh**es as the Salahis. Every show they try to impress the other housewives and always end up looking so pathetic. PLEASE take them off.
Been wondering how Michele and hubby getting away with not paying ANY vendors for YEARS.
If that had been me I would have said "you have been served" a process server is not required to put the papers in the persons hand. I just serverd papers on the Salahi's the other day and the papers were posted to their front door. The house looks like crap, they don't even mow their lawn. And to add insult, they broke down on Route 55 in their fance Audi. They are back in Fauquier County Court friday, Aug 13 at 3 pm and Salamandar Market is going after them again. So everyone they owe money to, Keep Up the Good Work!!!!
HA-HA! They got SERVED! Ignore them and they'll go away. The sooner the better, and hopefully to prison or a cardboard box behind a Dennys.
Anorexic fame ho! Liar. Hubby is a low class con artist.
Bout time, this woman is a pathological liar and SHAME on Bravo for promoting these people who have defrauded charities.
the names of these shows is misleading, they are not now and have never been REAL housewives. If you are upset about the show, maybe you should take a look at yourself, grow up and live a real life!
These people sure have a lot of haters?!!? I wonder why??!!!
Housewives of New Jersey or Orange County of even Atlanta would have a field day with her.....
TRASH!
nobody caressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I wish these losers would go away.

I feel asleep during the premiere, then caught it on another night only to turn after 20 minutes or so. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dropping papers on the floor accomplishes what? The server was just doing his job and if there is a discrepency; deal with it through a lawyer. Grow up!
GOOD! They deserve it! They should not be allowed to profit from their bad behavior by being put on tv After the humiliation that the put the secret service through they should be sued for the added cost of the security that had to be put into place to prevent that from happening again. They lie to suit their needs and they will just keep on doing it until some stands up and puts a stop to it.
MM @ Laurie, can you tell me what could anyone be jealous of? I mean seriously, these people are being sued left and right for not paying their bills. The loser husband, throws drinks in a woman's face and accused Whoopie G of grabbing the blonde bimbo's arm and are suing and yet, people are jealous? Laurie, either you need to start actually reading the articles or don't bother to comment.
The Housewifes of DC...boring. Won't be watching.....
I am a HUGE fan of the Housewives series but this one is a total snooze fest. I turned the channel after 30 minutes. Won't be watching another until Atlanta starts back up.
SWWWEEEET!
