On 'The Real Housewives of D.C.' Reunion (Part 2, Thu., 9PM ET on BRAVO), Michaele Salahi insists husband Tareq apologize for a particular incident. But it doesn't do him any favors. A shouting match erupts that intimates the other cast members still hate the Salahis.

At an event, Lynda Erkiletian spied Tareq "basically being very verbally abusive at two women." She asked him to quiet down, and apparently he told her to "shut the F up." She returned the sentiment and "he threw a glass of red wine at me." Lynda, in turn, threw water, as "I would never waste scotch on you, ever."

Cat Ommanney, who witnessed the exchange, wholeheartedly agrees with Lynda. "And you shoved your wife before you threw the wine in my face," Lynda adds. Cat confirms: "Michaele tried to stop you, and you pushed her." Tareq somehow correlates his actions with being "protective" of Michaele because "she has MS." This defense, unsurprisingly, does not go over well.

For months, Americans have seemingly agreed on only one thing: White House party crasher Michaele Salahi -- she with the shock of blond hair and sparkling red sari, who floated past flashing cameras with her befuddled-looking husband Tareq -- is a cringe-inducing attention grabber. Yuck.

The Salahis, of course, sneaked into the White House for President Obama's first state dinner in November. White House social secretary Desiree Rogers eventually resigned over the flap that ensued, and Americans have been seething at the mere mention of Michaele ever since. And the antipathy kicked up a notch when word began trickling out that the party crashing was a reality show stunt, or the Salahis attempt to land such a show.

Curiously, though, it's anything but contempt viewers will likely feel toward Michaele in 'The Real Housewives of D.C.,' the fifth installment in Bravo's 'Housewives' franchise. 'D.C.' premieres Thu., Aug. 5.

Michaele is one of five women featured on 'D.C.' and in the premiere episode, she steals the show -- in a good way.
