Legacy

Omarosa served as Director of African-American Outreach for Trump's presidential campaign in 2016, and once he was elected, she was part of his transition team, and later was hired as Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison within the White House. However, she resigned from the position in January 2018, after which she wrote a book called Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House , documenting her experiences with Trump. Among claims in the book is that Trump repeatedly used the "n-word" during filming of this season of The Celebrity Apprentice alongside other racially-insensitive language. [7] Trump reported to this charges that series producer Mark Burnett had reviewed the tapes from production and had not found any such use of that language. [8] Jillette, one of the show's celebrity contestants, countered this claim, stating that he had been in the same room at the time as Trump had said "racially insensitive things that made [Jillette] uncomfortable". [9]

In November 2018, Trump denied knowing Lil Jon, despite Lil Jon appearing on two separate seasons of The Celebrity Apprentice (seasons 11 and 13). [10]
