According to TMZ, the El Moussas’ marriage began to crumble after an incident in May when police responded to “a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun” at the couple’s home.
TMZ claims witnesses saw Tarek take a gun from his safe and leave his home. Officials caught up with the reality star who told authorities he was not intending to hurt himself but just wanted to “blow off some steam.” Police reportedly seized five guns from the El Moussa residence at the time.
The couple said in their statement Monday that police were called out of “an abundance of caution.” They say there was no violence and no charges were filed.
The El Moussas married in 2009 and have two children.
I’m slightly concerned that he may have gotten addicted to the pain pills after his surgeries and cancer treatment. I, of course, do not know them so it’s mere speculation but I do know about addiction and how narcotics, taken legally and as prescribed, can get hold of a formerly normal and stable human being. It’s tragic and very hard for loved ones. I hope this isn’t the issue.
