Tareq Tells MSNBC: Our Divorce Is Not A Publicity Stunt

by Sophie Pyle · September 25, 2011

Tareq Salahi recently did an exclusive interview with Matt Lauer on MSNBC's Today Show, and he did a good job of not crying this time.

Here are some highlights from the interview (or, watch the 9-minute clip below):

Signs were put up backstage by Journey to ban Tareq entering the area at a recent show

Divorce proceedings are still pending

Texted Matt Lauer among many people when he first thought Michaele was missing

Michaele had been communicating with Neal via email for the last two years

Considered all of the bandmates in Journey his "friends"

Doesn't think he can take her back

She has been cold, hasn't been communicating with Tareq

Apparently the Salahi dog is sick

Insists it's not a publicity stunt
