Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman was finally booted off “Celebrity Big Brother” on Sunday, but not before viewers were treated to more barbs against the Trump administration.
In her most explosive comments yet, Newman complained that she was shunned by others in the administration because she was a black woman in a White House that she compared to a “plantation.” Newman also said she was ”thinking of writing a tell-all” about her experiences.
“I was literally the only African-American woman on the senior staff,” Newman said in a montage of clips that aired in a recap episode on Saturday. “I’m inside trying to fight for my own political life while I’m going into meetings with people who are ignoring me. Because I was black, people wouldn’t even talk to me.”

He didn’t really she put race above all else, and like many saw EVERYTHING through the prism of race. Lesson learned...
maybe it was because you are stupid
Shunned at the White House because she was black?
That’s the only reason she was there!
Same for Obama, by the way...
Hope he won’t attack her on Twitter, however, even though she deserves it.
If she was the only Black staffer and acted a fool. what does that say about her?
Why the hell was she "Senior Staff"? What is her area of expertise?
It appears she’s going to make her living now by just trashing the POTUS 24/7.
Then enlighten poor stupid me. Why?
Because he was pressured into having “diversity” within his circle
no no no... Omarosa...
It’s hard when posting an article to remember that people are responding to the article, not to you personally. I’ve fallen into that myself.;
That's no reason. There are actually competent black people he could have chosen.
Okay Omarosa, your 60 seconds of fame is up. Go away.
Ignored because she was perceived as a media creation and a lightweight.
I don’t disagree, but she was “high profile” at the time and it would have made the news
She is just a younger, female version of Colin Powell.
One of my neighbors is black and I have introduced her to other (white) people in the neighborhood. She told me that sometimes when she says hello to them they don’t always say it back and, well, she has dealt with racists before.
I patiently explained to her that sometimes people don’t feel like conversing, might have some life crap going on or maybe didn’t hear her and it has nothing to do with the color of anyone’s skin. I hate she feels that way because she is a wonderful person and I know she has had bad experiences.
HOWEVER, Omarosa was given an opportunity in life when no one else would even spit on her and this is how she responds?
I hope the rest of her life is as wonderful as she is.
Ah, The old race card. If a Black cannot take responsibility they quickly pull out the race card.
So she counts heads, and was the only black female on the inner staff?
But didn’t Tommy Perez recently tell us that black females were the salt of the Dimwit Party?
Or was that the pepper?
Omorosa aint down with the big picture.
We tried to be inclusive.
So does this mean she isn't black (or a woman) anymore?
