After being forced out of Celebrity Rehab, Michaele Salahi is taking legal action, Radar Online has learned exclusively.

Michaele's mother Rosemary Holt tells Radar Online exclusively, "It's in the hands of the lawyer. I encouraged her because things have gone too far."

As Radar Online was first to report, a production source said that the so-called White House Gatecrasher-turned-Real Housewives of D.C. star was released from the VH-1 reality show earlier this month because she failed to show any signs of addiction.

Holt says her daughter is in the early stages of her legal battle against the show.

"I just want her name not to be abused. I want her to have a legal say in this."

Michaele and her husband Tareq first gained fame when they allegedly crashed a White House state dinner in 2009.

They went on to butt heads with every other cast member on the Real Housewives of D.C. Radar Online was first to reveal that Bravo has not renewed the reality show for a second season.

But Michaele's mom is standing by her daughter.

"I told her, 'Even if you don't get anything resolved money-wise, at least it will resolve your reputation'."

Michaele Salahi’s mother is fuming over her daughter’s recent boot from Celebrity Rehab, calling it “another White House incident.

“It’s something you’re invited to go to, then you’re thrown out!” Rosemary Holt tells Radar Online exclusively.

As RadarOnline was first to report, a production source said that the White House Gatecrasher-turned-Real Housewives of D.C. star was released from the VH-1 reality show on Tuesday because she failed to show any signs of addiction.

“She never said she had an addiction,” says her mother.

“She was asked to leave because she didn’t have an addiction? She doesn’t! she doesn’t!” Holt exclaims. “She was brought on the show for the purpose of helping her to deal. This is wrong what’s happening to her.

“I know the whole story from the time she left here and the paperwork she’d done and the contracts. She was asked to come on, it wasn’t her choice to come on. She was asked to.

“At first I was negative about it. Then I thought maybe she needs something like this.”

Although she couldn’t address specifics, Holt alluded to other reasons Michaele was asked to star on the show.

“She was brought on, she was told to talk about her feelings, how she survived the White House, her feelings, how she dealt with Bravo and when she went before Congress…,” she says. “That’s what she was brought on for. Then all of a sudden she’s there…the things I heard why she was there…I said ‘you don’t belong there.’

“They signed a contract with my daughter, but yet they can put her out?! Explain that to me. But Missy has to remain with her confidentiality. It should work both ways.”
