Bethenny Frankel might have minced her words just a little and it cost her a whopping $10K.
Omarosa Manigault appeared on Frankel’s daytime talk show and the two Apprentice alums had their claws out and ripped each other apart.
It all started in 2010, when the Skinny Girl Margarita host appeared on The View and lamented how she could never be compared to Omarosa because she had a “real career,” a brand, two New York Times best-sellers and a talk show. Bethenny denied making the comments, and offered Omarosa $10,000 if she was proven wrong. Well, after the producers pulled the transcripts, it was Omarosa who came out winning (ouch).
The two ladies continued to go for the jugular:
Omarosa: I’m unapologetic about being a strong, African American woman who does not apologize. It’s different for you and I. I’m an African American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business.
I think it’s important to understand that you don’t stay a decade on television, on reality TV, without being smart and creating a brand that people want to see. If the audience didn’t want to see Omarosa, they would never book me again. You booked me to be on your show today. There’s a brand there. There’s a commodity.
Bethenny: I meant what I said. You do have a career. I invited you here because you know — I don’t think that you have a brand. I think that you’re infamous. I’m on the show because I want to give a point of view. I don’t think you have a brand–
Omarosa: Honey, you made cupcakes. I worked in the White House. Get a grip.
Bethenny: What’s your brand?
Omarosa: I’m a strong businesswoman who celebrates in being smart — and there is a brand in being smart.
Bethenny: Your brand is smart? So Omarosa’s brand is being smart. Is that in your business plan?
Omarosa: Oh, absolutely. Hear this out, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts. I have an accomplished career.
