    'Shut the f**k up, a**hole,’ snarled Omarosa Manigault-Newman at me. ‘How are your kids going to feel when they wake up and discover their dad’s a f**king f*gg*t?’

    Yes, this is the same Omarosa Manigault-Newman who just spent a year inside Donald Trump’s White House.

    I’ve met a lot of vile human beings in my life, from dictators and terrorists to sex abusers and wicked conmen.

    But I’ve never met anyone quite so relentlessly loathsome as Omarosa; a vicious, duplicitous, lying, conniving, backstabbing piece of work.

    Which beggars the question: what the hell was she doing inside the world’s most powerful building for 12 months?

    The answer, as we can now see, was amassing a whole mass of damaging information to now use against President Trump and his administration on Celebrity Big Brother.

    Well duh!

    That’s what Omarosa does. It’s her raison d’etre.

    This is a woman who would do anything to get what she wants - however shameless and shameful.

    I met her a decade ago when we were cast together in the first season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2008.

    I knew OF her, obviously.

    She’d become America’s most hated reality TV villain after her diabolical performance in the 2004 season of the regular Apprentice.

    But nothing quite prepared me for her opening gambit as we waited for the details of the first challenge.

    Omarosa sidled up to me at the New York Mercantile Exchange and said, quite seriously: 'Piers, do you want a showmance?' 'A what?' I replied. 'A showmance. You know, a romance on the show - we get it on together. Happens all the time on Apprentice. Everyone has sex together. Then we can make lots of money out of it.’ I stared at her grasping, ferociously ambitious little eyes, and laughed: 'You must be joking, you deluded woman.' She didn't take it well. 'What are you? Gay?'

    From that moment, she turned on me like a viper.

    I can honestly say I’ve never been spoken to in my life like the disgusting, foul-mouthed, homophobic way Omarosa spat at me throughout the weeks of filming.

    Because I’d rejected her revolting sex plot, she decided the best line of attack was to repeatedly question my sexuality in the most crude and offensive manner imaginable.

    At the time, I was separated from my ex wife, and mother of three of my four children – a fact Omarosa seized on with glee.

    ‘The mother of your children hates you Piers,’ she giggled on camera one morning, ‘and your children f**king hate you, they’re embarrassed by you. Is there another man raising your children?’

    (None of these things was true)

    On another occasion, in front of boxing champion Lennox Lewis, she said: ‘Hey Piers, I hear you got caught sucking a gay waiter’s c*ck in a hotel pool?’

    This was a lie. I’m not gay and she hadn’t heard that about me. She’d just made it up to smear me and to provoke me into a confrontation.

    Eventually, Omarosa took her bigotry to the boardroom, telling Donald Trump accusingly: ‘I think Piers is in the closet.’

    ‘You’re calling Piers a homosexual?’ replied an incredulous Trump. ‘I don’t think you know him very well.’

    He then invited me to come back into the boardroom and respond. So I did, bursting through the doors, racing towards Omarosa, then veering away at the last minute to kiss Trace Adkins, a 6ft 7in country singer, with the words: ‘I’ve always loved a beautiful cowboy.’

    Trump laughed, everyone laughed – well apart from Trace, who just looked bemused.

    Beneath the laughs though lay a less savoury truth: Omarosa is a reprehensible human being, prepared to offer sex to win a reality TV show and use the most vile homophobic slurs against rival contestants.

    She did all this purely so it would bring her more airtime, and more attention.


    When I grew angry at the tidal wave of verbal filth like this, using my then young sons as a weapon, she threatened me with physical violence: ‘‘Touch me, you’re going to get punched in the face.’

    I thought of all this over the past few days as the scandal over White House staffer Rob Porter hit the headlines.

    It’s obviously completely unacceptable that Porter was able to hold down such a high-level administration job with such serious allegations of abuse from two ex wives and an ex girlfriend hanging over him.

    It was also completely unacceptable of President Trump to unequivocally praise Porter after he resigned, given that by then the full details of the alleged abuse including photographs of one of his ex wives with a black eye, had emerged.

    And big questions remain over whom in the White House, in particular chief of staff General John Kelly, knew what, and when, about Porter’s history of alleged domestic violence.

    But why is there no such outcry over the fact someone like Omarosa was also allowed to roam free in the White House for so long?

    I was aghast when she joined Trump’s campaign team in July 2016 as a the ‘director of African-American outreach.’

    I haven’t met an African-American in the whole country who would ever like to be ‘reached out’ to by Omarosa.

    ‘This is the greatest position in the world,’ she said after her appointment was announced, ‘to be at the centre of political power, of the universe.’

    Yes, it is - so why was SHE in it?

    My disquiet turned to utter horror when Trump won the presidency and Omarosa was appointed the White House’s director of communications for the Public Liaison Office.

    I don’t subscribe to the theory that President Trump is mentally unstable, but this particular decision severely tested my faith.

    Her tenure went exactly how I expected.

    Omarosa achieved nothing but incessant chaos, upsetting all her White House co-workers, and picking fights wherever she went in a manner that was entirely unsurprising to anyone who had met her or watched her on TV.

    She called out Fox News contributor Tamara Holder for having ‘big boobs.’

    She was accused of physically intimidating and verbally threatening long-time White House correspondent April Ryan.

    And after gay CNN anchor Don Lemon cut her mic during a segment, Omarosa told TMZ he should ‘stop being such a queen.’

    By common consent, she achieved absolutely nothing to benefit the Trump presidency. In fact, quite the reverse.

    Yet there she was, ensconced in her own office in the West Wing, watching, listening, plotting and almost certainly recording.

    On Celebrity Big Brother, Omarosa’s been singing like a bitchy canary about Trump, V-P Mike Pence and others. And this will be just the start of it.

    Brace yourselves for the ‘insider’ book, the docu series and the Lifetime movie.

    What’s most surprising to me is that Donald Trump prides himself on only backing winners.

    Yet Omarosa’s never won anything in her life.

    In our Celebrity Apprentice season, she was fired when we were rival project managers, after I destroyed her in a challenge in what Trump called ‘the greatest slaughter in the history of the Apprentice.’

    Yet he took this serial loser, and horrible human being, into the heart of the White House to spread her poison.

    In its way, that’s just as big a scandal as Rob Porter, yet nobody seems to care.

    Trump offered his ex wife an ambassadorship in Europe..he's surrounded with family members and yes men..it's a fucking reality tv show chaotic administration with nothing but insult after insult....the vetting of this administration is embarrassing. Actually qualified professionals wouldn't work for this president and many have resigned already. At this point I just have to shut off the show and let it pass....sooner the better. Who would bring this woman into the white house? Piss off every national security expert in the country enough and it might just come back to bite you eh?

    Short story is fantastic. I love the movie! One of the few Stephen King books that made a successful transition to film.

    The few? Because Shawshank, The Shining, The Running Man, Misery, It, Stand By Me, Pet Sematary, Cujo, Christine, Carrie, Firestarter, etc aren't an impressive list?

    The wife-beater, the witch and the White House: Why the hell did Trump ever tell Rob Porter and Omarosa ‘you’re hired’?

    Your guy Donald Trump was responsible for bringing her to the White House. Your description of her fits Trump to a T. Birds of a feather flock together.

    I think anyone paying attention to pop culture over the last decade knew Omarosa was a terrible person. The question here is why didnt Trump? He worked directly with her. She was a laughable pick at the time and she just proved everyone right with her antics. Even people on the hated "left" think she is a joke. Bye Felicia.

    Omarosa says Trump is a racist who uses N-word – and claims there's tape to prove it

    Donald Trump is a “racist” who has used the “N-word” repeatedly, Omarosa Manigault Newman, once the most prominent African American in the White House, claims in a searing memoir.

    The future US president was caught on mic uttering the taboo racial slur “multiple times” during the making of his reality TV show The Apprentice and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault Newman, citing three unnamed sources.

    Trump has been haunted from around the time of his election in 2016 by allegations that outtakes from the reality TV show exist in which he is heard saying the N-word and using other offensive language.

    In her book, Unhinged, a copy of which was obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week, the former Apprentice participantinsists that the reports are true, although she does not say she heard him use the word herself.

    She also claims that she personally witnessed Trump use racial epithets about the White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband George Conway, who is half Filipino. “Would you look at this George Conway article?” she quotes the president as saying. “F**ing FLIP! Disloyal! Fucking Goo-goo.”

    Both flip and goo-goo are terms of racial abuse for Filipinos.


    Critics have previously questioned Manigault Newman’s credibility and are likely to accuse her of seeking revenge against the administration after her abrupt dismissal last December.

    At the time, she writes, she felt a “growing realization that Donald Trump was indeed a racist, a bigot and a misogynist. My certainty about the N-word tape and his frequent uses of that word were the top of a high mountain of truly appalling things I’d experienced with him, during the last two years in particular.”

    Recalling her sudden and unceremonious departure, she writes: “It had finally sunk in that the person I’d thought I’d known so well for so long was actually a racist. Using the N-word was not just the way he talks but, more disturbing, it was how he thought of me and African Americans as a whole.”
