Just when you think fame seeker Tareq Salahi was out of the spotlight, Greenwich resident Tina Pray resurrected him in an interview with The Daily Beast.
Notorious bad girl Natasha Justina “Tina” Pray spoke with Diane Dimond from The Daily Beast about her relationship with White House crasher Tareq Salahi.
Not sure why Tina, with her own troubles, would want to get involved with this train wreck of a man; however, in an interview with The Beast, the twice divorced mother-of-two said she met Tareq in White Plains, New York, at a thank you dinner given by state Senator Greg Ball.
Tina said she was a “volunteer for the campaign so I was invited…and Tareq was there too…..after we began to talk he stayed by my side the entire evening.”
She claims that Tareq invited her to his hotel room for a nightcap and according to The Beast, “the relationship quickly turned intimate.”
The article says that Tareq left the following morning and returned to his home in Virginia with plans to fly to California for business. When his California plans fell through, Tareq came to Greenwich to see her.
Tina, who says she is shooting a reality show for Bravo said “In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t me he was so eager to see but rather to be present in my home when Bravo shot.” She said she had told him that Bravo was coming to her house to shoot a reality show.

Why would Tina go to the media to discuss Tareq knowing there are many skeletons living in her own closet?
Back in November 2009 Tina was charged in an art insurance fraud scheme after she allegedly tried to trick her stepfather, Richard Ford, into cooperating with a plan to collect nearly $60,000 from an insurance company.
It was later revealed that Tina had sold the Victor de Grailly painting at auction in 2007, and then later tried to convince Ford that the painting had been stolen from his home, where it had been on display.
Tina escaped prosecution after all of a sudden she remembered giving the proceeds from the missing artwork, which she was convinced was stolen, but later admitted to selling it at auction after the auction house provided the authorities with paperwork that had her signature, to a charity.
Then there was that other scandal with the Brunswick boy……

This Tina Pray person is known as the local whore of Greenwich;she has a RAP sheet a mile long and prefers to date married men. She gives the town a bad name and should be driven out!
Pray recently had to put her house on the market in order to pay her mounting legal bills (defense for her felony charge of insurance fraud and her ongoing divorce battles with husbands one and two, not to mention her plastic surgeons who have had to re-do the bags under her eyes twice and still there they are at every party with Tina in the latest fashion )–see tag attached for speedy return to the shop. This immature drunk is pushing 50 and should know when to hang it up.
“Not sure why Tina, with her own troubles, would want to get involved with this train wreck of a man”
She’s desperate. That’s why she’s looking for any man, even one with a lot of baggage.
She is more like a mature drunk by now spending time at home drinking now that she has no man and I hope that the next man that is dumb enough to go near her has a close hand on his check book and credit card.
Have you seen the inside of that house?? She could just sell some of those unused antiques but she probably stole those from her mother’s house.
So hide your man, ladies. That woman will make sure she’s in someone’s bed.
@Joan – I’m willing to drive her to the state line but I don’t think that would help. She’d only call her daddy to get her out of trouble. Poor man. I thought teenage trouble ended when kids grew up.
Clearly her parents are a prime example of what happens when you endlessly enable your child by giving her whatever she wants…at least her mother is not alive to see the train wreck her daughter has become. Her father really should finally disown her, enough is enough!
I really don’t see it being the father’s fault (the mother enabled Tina but not the other sisters). The other sisters are really good, giving and loving people with many friends (me included) who manage to stay away from the law, alcohol consumption and are only in the paper for their good deeds.
Her mother would probably still be enabling her which never helped her grow up to begin with. She may be 50 years old but still such a child. Her father should just let her dig her own grave instead of digging her out of trouble. Is helping her really helping her?
@ Apples: Preach it sister! Yes, her father should cut her lose, perhaps she will do something creative. Like get a job!
or rather, cut his losses and cut her loose!:)
I have to say I was shocked at Tina’s lack of ability to hide her demonic inability to hide her psychosis. She redefines all that I find reprehensible. In Greenwich she is considered a total narcissistic whore. Literally sleeping with whatever man will look her way. What lack of poise in the piece on “Misadvised” — doesn’t she get she made a total fool of herself??? Hard to imagine she can look at that piece and not realize she looked like a total idiot. So sad that she is a “Mother” of two. Those poor children. It is my understanding that her x-husband has taken parenting rights. If she had any sense at all she would leave Connecticut — oh but I forgot she has NO sense or class whatsoever!!!!
Yes, Mom enabled her. Tina’s reputation as a spoiled and entitled brat was well known by peers and parents by the time she was 12 years old. Her father is a drinker (maybe rehabilitated?) and very much entitled, but he always knew how to throw a good party, has that awesome collection of antique cars, and has plenty of money to live the way he wants to. He’s also judged differently, being a man. Unless Tina recognizes that she has a problem, she will continue her downward slide. And she has alienated people who would have helped her by lying, cheating and making a mess of things. She’s also an unbelievable snob, dismissive and rude toward people who don’t fall into the same social class she once lived in. The fact that she fell for Tareq, and thinks that’s something to celebrate…very unfortunate.
One can only hope now that she has driven her friends, lovers and children away — and spends her days drinking and waiting for her step father to pass — that she will have the good sense to ramp up those visits to her psychiatrist and focus on recovery from her various addictions.
