WASHINGTON (AP) -- A spokeswoman for Bravo says the couple who crashed a White House state dinner were being filmed that day by a camera crew connected with a reality television program.

The spokeswoman says no filming took place on White House grounds. Bravo confirmed today that Michaele Salahi is being considered for "The Real Housewives of D.C."

She and her husband Tareq Salahi were being filmed as they prepared for the Tuesday event.

The spokeswoman says the Salahis said they were invited and "the producers had no reason to believe otherwise."

The White House is refusing to comment. A Secret Service spokesman says the president was never in danger. The agency, which is investigating, admits that procedures weren't followed at one checkpoint.

A lawyer for the couple says "They didn't do anything wrong," and "just went to a party."

But he acknowledges that officers at a checkpoint for the event did not follow proper procedures.
