( CNN ) -- Reality show star and White House party-crasher Michaele Salahi has been asked to leave the television show `` Celebrity Rehab '' because she does not have an addiction , VH1 said in a statement . Salahi 's manager shot back , saying the network knew that all along . Salahi and her husband made news in November 2009 after attending President Barack Obama 's first state dinner without an invitation . VH1 said Tuesday it has canceled her appearance on the show , which chronicles celebrities undergoing treatment for alcohol and drug addictions . `` The treatment program that 'Celebrity Rehab ' documents is intended for individuals with serious substance abuse and addiction issues , '' VH1 said in a statement Tuesday night . `` Prior to the taping of the current season , producers were advised that Michaele Salahi met the criteria to be treated in this setting . However , professional assessments spanning from that time to the present , found that she did not meet such criteria . '' However , the show knew that in advance , according to Gina Rodriguez , her manager . `` That is the excuse they used . But they knew what it was when they cast her , '' Rodriguez said . The Virginia couple slipped through White House security and shook hands with Obama , and had their pictures taken with Vice President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh .
