How 'The Residence' References RHODC's Michaele, Tareq's White House Drama


Netflix's 'The Residence' found a way to poke fun at 'The Real Housewives of D.C.' alum Michaele Salahi and Tareq Salahi's White House State Dinner scandal

After the Chief Usher is found dead during a state dinner, renowned detective Cordelia Cupp ( Uzo Aduba) is tasked with finding out who is responsible while all the guests are still at the White House. Michaele and Tareq claimed they were welcome to attend the dinner and “did not party crash the White House,” but the incident caused a Secret Service criminal investigation, congressional hearings and an Obama administration internal review. Inspired by The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen Brower, the eight-part series kept Us guessing as Cordelia attempted to solve the case while crossing paths with some familiar faces such as Kylie Minogue and an actor playing Hugh Jackman from behind.
