‘Housewife’ Michaele Salahi Reveals Secret Illness

Dubbed "the White House party crashers," Tareq and Michaele Salahi speak out to Diane Dimond about her secret illness.

She claims her rail thin figure -- criticized by her "The Real Housewives of D.C." castmates and the subject of eating disorder speculations -- is actually a result of multiple sclerosis.

Coming out publicly, she says, is "very hard, but at the same time very liberating. I feel I can do something really good now. After the White House, I didn't understand all that was happening. My life became this media spin. I thought maybe this is here to push me to become someone ... showing that you can live a healthy, productive life."
