“My own family, my cousins, a lot of the people dearest to me, my best friend just found out, so it’s something that I kept personal. I think a lot of people do with chronic illnesses or any type of disease,” the infamous White House “party crasher” stated. “I kept it personal because I never wanted to be judged, I never wanted pity and I certainly wanted to hold on to my job.”

“Maybe at this time with the White House and everything that took place … maybe all of this happened for a reason. Now I can do something good to help someone else,” Salahi explained.
Now I’m not saying the Salahis made this story up – but is anyone else wondering how Michaele could start smiling so quickly after getting choked up? Cue the video to about the :20 mark and check it out for yourself.
