Omarosa Manigault and Bethenny Frankel Bitch Fight

Did anyone catch it? It happened on Bethenny's talk show. The two really went at it.


"It's different for you and I," she told the talk show host. "I am 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."

But the 39-year-old quickly backtracked, pointing out that clearly Frankel was doing well because she had her own talk show, which prompted Frankel to say that Manigault was now $10,000 richer thanks to her appearance fee.

Manigault then explained that she was just as successful as Frankel – saying that she had her own brand.

"I don't think you have a brand," Frankel said.

"You make cupcakes, I worked in the White House," Omarosa snapped back. "Get a grip."

She then tried to explain what her brand is. "I am a smart businesswoman who celebrates being smart and there is a brand in being smart," she said.

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel queried. "That's in your business plan?"

"Absolutely," Omarosa replied. "I have an accomplished career. I teach young people … I hope they don't get discouraged from watching two women who have an opportunity to put things behind us. We have a chance to turn this thing around."

To which Frankel replied: "No, we don't." < < She shut her down.

Didn't Omarosa kill a actor?

LOL. I have to find that. I saw Omarosa last weekend at the Chiller signing convention that I went to in NJ. I passed by her quite a few times on my way to see other (actual) celebrities and she never once had anyone at her table. Around lunch time she was walking with about 3 guards around her "protecting" her from the people who wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. She had this air of self importance to her to just reeked and made me roll my eyes when she passed by me.

The guy from that Tom Hanks movie.

LOL @ DAME and Jordan.

I never liked Omarosa. She does reek of self-importance.

I totally "get" Bethenny, although I have never seen her talk show. I had seen her on Real Housewives of New York.

I would have answered Omarosa in the same way:

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel queried. "That's in your business plan?"

She's has a sassy mouth. I have to love that about her.

DAME you're talking about Michael Clarke Duncan. LOL..she didn't kill him!

She was charging (I think) $40 for her signature. I paid that for Peter Fonda. But for Omarosa…

I thought there were accusations and some legal fights about his estate.

Oh hell to the N-O. She had the audacity to charge $40 for her scribble?!!!

Some people! I swear!

After seeing Bethanny on the Martha Stewart Apprentice, I instantly disliked her. Nothing she's done since then has changed that. Especially booking Omarosa for her show.

I never cared for Bethenny either but when I saw Kathy Griffin's show on Broadway, Bethenny was there with someone else (a real housewife I think) and these women in the audience just lost their shlt they were so excited. Bethenny was so damn nice and genuine to them for the longest time taking pictures and talking to them that it really made me "respect" her a little bit more. She went beyond what most people would do when they encounter fans.

I actually ran into her one day when I was in Tribeca meeting up with a friend for dinner.

I recognized her and actually said "Hi, my boss loves your skinnygirl margarita." I had given my boss a bottle for Boss' Day. She smiled. Stopped, asked me for mine and my boss' information and she sent us both a goodie bag with skinnygirl products, etc.

She knows how to hustle. You have to respect that.

Isn't Ellen behind her new chat show?

Jordan, I saw Omarosa at Chiller Theatre, too. She was leaving the video package room where no one showed up to shoot a fan video with her. I heard her complaining on her phone about it. She was not happy.

I was only up there to use that gigantic table on the mezzanine to reorganize my bag. I was doing press even though I didn't have a press pass and I stupidly grabbed the wrong bag for the gear I had.

Carlos, I ran into Bethenny years ago after she was on The Apprentice Martha Stewart. I told her I was a big fan and she actually exchanged cards with me and left comments for a while at the site I was working for. She's always on. I respect that.

Ha! I kept using that big table, too! I had a lot of posters that I had to keep rolling and unrolling and it was the only place to do it!

Do not p*uck with Bethenny.

Ask Jill Zarin.

"DAME you're talking about Michael Clarke Duncan. LOL..she didn't kill him! "

and every time his name is mentioned, she breaks into immediate hysterics crying over him.

Omarosa investigated.

Omarosa is a bottom feeder of the lowest kind...a real scumbag who is clawing for her second 15 minutes of fame. She gets invited to do a talk show and is always toxic and insulting to the host, especially if it's another woman. She did the same thing on Wendy Williams a few years ago. Her brand is making an ass of herself on national television over and over again. What a horrible human being!

I am a Bethenny fan. Omorosa - not so much.

[FishermanBob]

Posted: 10/31/13 at 3:20pm

She actually paid Omarosa a $10,000 appearance fee to go on her talk show? WTF? She could have gotten the 8th runner up from the 39th season of survivor for $50 and a goody bag and it would have had the same impact.

Cirie is worth ten grand. Paying Omarosa to do anything is flushing money down the toilet. Literally.

She did NOT pay her $10,000 for her appearance. Omarosa called Bethenny out for badmouthing her on The View (or The Talk, I don't remember which), Bethenny did not believe she said that Omarosa didn't have a real career but BRAND was the word used. She said if she did word it that way then she would give her $10,000. A producer handed Bethenny a phone which documented that conversation and then said "I owe you $10,000". The comment mentioned above was about that, not for her appearance on the show.

Yes, Ellen is producing her show and even sent some of her best staffers to NYC to get it off the ground. Omarosa is a joke who got out witted by Bethenny, who I like might I add.

Odorosa's biggest and maybe only fan is Donald Tramp. What's with his poor judgment of character.

ODOROSA!!! O.M.G. I love it!!!
