This didn't take long. It seems the tale of Omarossa is evolving

and everyone is singing a different song:

White House now insists Omarosa was FIRED and 'had limited contact with the president' after she said she was 'haunted' by Trump's tweeting and America will 'not be okay' with him in the Oval Office

Omarosa Manigault-Newman was fired from her White House job in December, a spokesman for Donald Trump said Thursday, after the former aide trashed the president on 'Celebrity Big Brother.'

Manigault-Newman, a former communications director for the administration's Office of Public Liaison, is making her pivot back to reality television, and she's doing it by throwing daggers at President Donald Trump and her old West Wing colleagues.

With Trump at the helm, she says, America 'is going to not be okay. It's not. It's so bad.'

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah told reporters Thursday that the administration's reaction to Omarosa's deep cuts was to them them 'not very seriously.'

'Omarosa was fired three times on "The Apprentice," and this is the fourth time we let her go,' he said. 'She had limited contact with the president while here. She has no contact now.'

I'd only ever read about the UK version. I might give it a glimpse, tonight.

You can literally spy on them all the time but I'm not going to give CBS info and let them send me notifications and emails.

I watched one early season FOREVER ago but once the voyeur factor wore off it was another Drama Queen extravaganza. Those get on my last nerve.

I might pay a little attention for Omarosa, though.

How does anyone know who has contact with the moron and who doesn't? Ridiculous.

this is the fourth time WE let her go." So this Sarah Slanders Mini-Me is basically saying that "The Apprentice" and the White House are the same entity? That's what we all suspected, but now they're admitting it.

so being fired from a White House job is the same as being fake fired from a shitty reality show?

my patience for this entire situation to come to an end is wearing thin. someone please cancel this reality show.

13. Omarosa has never been known for HER honesty

or integrity. She's a first-class manipulator, liar and drama queen.

In the clips from the show, I distinctly got a "not true" vibe from her report and analysis. NOT that we're not in big trouble, we are, just that "America" has never, for one second, been uppermost in her mind, let alone her guiding motivation for anything. She and Trump are cut from the same cloth in these regards, which is why she got hired again.
