Angela Rye Has A Message For Omarosa ‘Bye Girl’

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Omarosa Manigault Newman announced her White House resignation Thursday (Dec. 14) on Good Morning America. As she explained her difficult decision to step down from her position to host Michael Strahan, she admits that she and Senator Kelly had candid conversations about the overwhelming “concerns” she had. She quotes, “As a result, I resigned.”

Many people were happy to see Newman’s departure from the White House, including CNN political commentator Angela Rye. Rye responded to Manigault’s comment she made on GMA of which she states, “When I have my story to tell as the only African-American woman in this White House, I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people,” she said. Rye burst out into laughter and responded, “Bye girl. Bye, honey! You haven’t done anything for the community, you are skin folk, we don’t own you like Zora..goodbye, good riddance!”

Many people seem to be in agreeance with Rye’s comment.

The petty beef between the two ladies continues as Rye steadily tweets.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
