Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said she was “haunted” by President Trump’s tweets during her time in the White House in a new clip from “Celebrity Big Brother.”
In the teaser, posted by the show’s Twitter account, Manigault Newman, who also starred in the first season of “The Apprentice” with Trump, breaks down in tears opening up to fellow cast member Ross Matthews about her White House experiences.
“I was haunted by tweets every day,” she said in the clip. “Like, what is he going to tweet next?”
She added that she tried to “be that person” that would stop the president from tweeting, but said that she was attacked by colleagues when she tried to intervene.
{mosads}“It was like, ‘Keep her away from him, don’t get her access, don’t let her talk to him,’” Manigault Newman said, tearing up when mentioning Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner by name. “And Ivanka’s there, Jared’s there.”
“It’s not my circus, not my monkeys, I’d like to say not my problem but I can’t say that because it’s bad,” she added.
“Should we be worried?” Matthews asked, to which Manigault Newman nods. “Don’t say that, because we are worried but I need you to say, ‘No, it’s going to be OK.’”
“It’s going to not be OK, it’s not,” Manigault Newman responded. “It’s so bad.”
Though the season only debuted Wednesday, Manigault Newman has already mentioned the Trump White House, saying during her cast member introduction on Wednesday that Big Brother is similar to the White House because “there’s a lot of people that want to stab me in the back.”
Manigault Newman resigned from the White House in December.
