Move on, Journey rocker beau tells Michaele Salahi’s ex-husband

Journey rocker Neal Schon and his White House party crasher girlfriend Michaele Salahi are ready for everyone to stop believing in Tareq Salahi’s accusations against them.
“You gotta pick up the pieces, you gotta man up and you gotta deal with it,” the Journey guitarist told Flash Thursday night, of his girlfriend’s ex, Tareq, whose $50 million defamation suit against the couple was dismissed by a Virginia judge this month.
The saga started last year when former “Real Housewife of D.C.” Salahi ditched her husband Tareq to run off with Schon, prompting a befuddled Tareq to file a missing persons report and, later, the now-dismissed lawsuit alleging, among other things, that Schon emailed Tareq a photo of his penis and called him with the message, “I’m f****** your wife.”
“It’s time everyone kind of just gets a grip on what’s going on here. It was not a conspiracy. It wasn’t meant to hurt anyone. It happens in everyday life. People move on. They fall out of love and in love with someone else and that is life,” Schon said, during Thursday night’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere party for the new Journey documentary, “Don’t Stop Believin’,” at New York’s Double Seven.
“It just happened — she fled to me, and all of a sudden Tareq brought it in the forefront and the news,” he griped.
Schon and Salahi say they’ve turned down offers to star in their own reality show, with Schon claiming, “I’m not media hungry like that.”
Still, he understands why there’s so much interest in his infamous girlfriend.
“For some reason there’s this real buzz on her,” he said, “which is flattering in a sense because people are interested in this story and how it turns out because of all of the twist and turns.”
