Aubrey O’Day Explains Dramatic Exit From Celebrity Apprentice

Ever heard the phrase, “You can’t fire me, because I quit!?” Well if you were watching Sunday night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, you might have seen a prime example. Former Danity Kane member, Aubrey O’day became so frustrated with her team and the hit reality show that she walked off.

During the board meeting with Donald Trump, Aubrey’s teammates Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall stressed to the billionaire businessman how selfish the singer is. Trump agreed stating that Aubrey is “a good player, but not a team player”. He also went around to each team member asking who they would fire if they lost; all three of the men on the team voted Aubrey. The former playboy model began crying, and expressing her extreme dislike for Arsenio Hall, eventually walking out of the boardroom. Before leaving, Aubrey said,

“I don’t want to be around all the negativity anymore. The environment is so ugly. I just don’t know if this is the right place for me.”

Hall didn’t feel at all sympathetic towards Aubrey, ranting to his fellow group members after leaving the boardroom. The former talk show host yelled, “I Googled her and a naked picture of her with a gut popped up!”. He also told teammates that Donald Trump was not going to “to take his banner and put it on her stank ass”.

Although Aubrey claimed to be done with the show, apparently we can’t count her out just yet. After the episode ended, Aubrey tweeted out to her followers, “I stay! lol. I went 2 church!” It will be interesting to see how Trump reacts to Aubrey’s bluff. I have a feeling, it won’t be pretty.

“Funny that I’m being so set up by these boys given I gained nothing from stepping up & fighting as hard as possible to give Arsenio a win,” continued O’Day on Twitter. “If I were really manipulative & self centered I would have set people up & let them drown in their poor ideas, which is how most stayed!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
