*After four weeks of “Celebrity Apprentice” episodes in which Dionne Warwick appeared far from a shrinking violet, the singing legend shocked the boardroom — including Donald Trump himself – when she said she deserved to be fired.
Although she changed her mind at the last minute, The Donald promptly sent Warwick to the taxicab — but not after a drama-filled boardroom and post-boardroom exchange with “Real Housewives” star NeNe Leakes at the elevator.
NeNe was project manager of a task that included making an ad for a video phone from the ACN company. Although the women did a great job, the mens’ team, led by Lil Jon, won the night’s competition.
Warwick, who left early instead of sticking around to edit the ad (The singer said she was tired and had to “go lay down.”), felt she had been betrayed by Leakes to Trump during the boardroom discussion. Warwick accused the reality star of not telling the truth about the nature of her early exit. After other players also brought up Dionne’s divisive attitude, Warwick was too late in defending herself so Trump fired her.
At the elevator, Dionne hugged NeNe, then told her in passing, “You’re a coward, baby.” When NeNe asked why, Dionne reminded her that she asked the Bravo star if she could leave the task early, and didn’t just bounce as NeNe had made it seem in the boardroom.
In the post-elimination cab ride, Warwick said, “Sometimes ladies have a habit of not quite being straight up. I just don’t like craziness — unless I’m the crazy one!”
This episode of The Apprentice is getting messy by the week, there is always some drama spilling over into the mainstream news. I am sure Trump is enjoying this because it means good ratings for him and NBC. So whatever!!
correction- The weekly episodes of The Apprentice are getting messy
This is my new somewhat guilty pleasure. I am thoroughly enjoying this season. Dionne showed her azz most of the season so most were glad to see her out. NeNe remains bipolar-acting, and Star remains sneaky. I await the future episodes when those two go at it. Something apparently happened during the season for NeNe to be showing her ignorant colors now every chance she gets to insult Star, lol.
Yes!
SPOILER ALERT…
Rumor has it NeNe is never fired but walks off the show after a spat with Star.
I watched the end and this is the first time I’ve ever seen NeNe half-way humble (when she was inquiring why Dionne was upset with her). Nevertheless Dionne did her own self in when she told Mr. Trump she would fire herself…very dumb move on her part.
Yeah it was a dumb move and Trump said so after he fired her.
