Despite an official statement from the White House claiming
Omarosa Manigault Newman would resign on January 20th, subsequent reports by
multiple outlets have suggested the former The Apprentice star was fired.
CNN’s
White House correspondent, April Ryan, tweeted throughout the day on Wednesday,
saying her former friend was actually the cause of “a lot of drama at the White
House” on Tuesday. In subsequent tweets, Ryan said Chief of Staff John Kelly
“did the firing” and Omarosa was “escorted out of [the] building and off
campus.” The New York Times‘ Yamiche Alcindor tweeted similar claims.
Even so, Ryan later tweeted that “the White House still
contends Omarosa signed a resignation letter.” And when another reporter
contacted the director of communications for the White House Office of Public
Liaison directly and “asked if she was fired or resigned,” Omarosa apparently
offered to call him back and “hung up.” Ryan later appeared on CNN to discuss
the story, telling Wolf Blitzer that Omarosa reportedly tried to get into the
White House residence to confront Trump after Kelly fired her:
“She asked Gen. Kelly, ‘Well does the president know?’ And
Gen. Kelly said ‘Yes, the president has signed off.’ She said, ‘I wanted to
call the president.’ And Gen. Kelly said, ‘This is not going to the principal’s
office. It’s done.’ So once that piece stopped, a little later on, she tried to
go see the president. She tried to go into the residence. And, mind you, Gen.
Kelly had cut off her walk-in access to the Oval Office and things of that
nature. Security alerted Gen. Kelly, he came back down, and told Secret Service
to take her out of there. She was escorted off the property.”
Looks like "The Apprentice" reality show is still shooting in the White House.
"You're fired" is a weekly affair.
And as for Omarosa, it's a long time coming.
That babe puts the "M" in drama!
