Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth
Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth is a former participant on the television reality show The Apprentice. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Omarosa was ousted from the show in week twelve.
Manigault-Stallworth, who used to work for a Washington, D.C. firm before getting her shot at becoming a Donald Trump employee, had strongly negative reactions from viewers during her twelve weeks on the show. She was characterized on the show as a villain, partly because of her scheming behavior towards other contestants. Most fans hated her, though some admired her hard business style.
During the final episode in which the two finalists competed against each other, contestant Kwame Jackson chose Stallworth as part of his final team. She deliberately lied to him and caused major complications with his final contest, and this ultimately contributed to his loss on the program. During the show she also constantly complained of migraine headaches due to a small amount of plaster falling on her head, something that was mocked in comedy skits on other shows.
After being "fired" from the show, her celebrity grew. She has been on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and a renowned pornographic magazine offered her money to pose nude. She refused the offer, however, declaring that some of her parts were reserved for her husband.
Manigault-Stallworth was controversial on and off the show. After being fired, she publicly accused fellow contestant Ereka Vetrini of using racist slurs in reference to her. This claim has been vehemently denied by Vetrini, Donald Trump, Mark Burnett, and NBC. Ventrini later appeared on the Howard Stern show and passed several lie detector tests.
Manigault-Stallworth managed to continually contribute to a public dislike for her by frequently misleading the press (though very rarely outright lying to them) about her career and past. Notably, she was scheduled to appear as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live but walked off of the set because there was a lie detector machine present, which was completely unrelated to her appearance that evening.
She has been recently featured in Burger King commercials that are set in a corporate office, where ordinary white collar workers talk about their Burger King burgers.
In 2005, she appeared on a reality all star episode of Fear Factor with other reality TV contestants. The episode aired on February 28. On the show, Omarosa displayed her signature personality, especially towards fellow contestant Nikki McKibbin. She was was eliminated in the third stunt. She is scheduled to join Jose Canseco, Bronson Pinchot, Janice Dickenson, Carey Hart, Caprice, and Pepa on the 5th season of the VH1 series "The Surreal Life".
