Piers Morgan claims his former “Celebrity Apprentice” castmate, Omarosa Manigault, offered to have sex with him while they were on the show — and then used homophobic slurs to belittle him after he denied her advances.
The British media personality made the accusations in a Daily Mail column published Tuesday.
“I’ve met a lot of vile human beings in my life, from dictators and terrorists to sex abusers and wicked conmen. But I’ve never met anyone quite so relentlessly loathsome as Omarosa,” wrote Morgan, who described Manigault as “a vicious, duplicitous, lying, conniving, backstabbing piece of work.”
“This is a woman who would do anything to get what she wants — however shameless and shameful,” he said. “I met her a decade ago when we were cast together in the first season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2008. I knew OF her, obviously. She’d become America’s most hated reality TV villain after her diabolical performance in the 2004 season of the regular Apprentice. But nothing quite prepared me for her opening gambit as we waited for the details of the first challenge.”
Morgan claims that while the two were at the New York Mercantile Exchange, Manigault “sidled up” to him and said, “Piers, do you want a showmance?”
“A what?” he replied.
“You know, a romance on the show,” Manigault said, according to Morgan.
“We get it on together. Happens all the time on Apprentice. Everyone has sex together. Then we can make lots of money out of it.”
Morgan says in his column that he laughed and told Manigault that she was a “deluded woman” and must be joking, to which she allegedly said: “What are you? Gay?”
“From that moment, she turned on me like a viper,” explained Morgan.
The reality TV stars have a history of bad blood, which stems from a 2013 feud.
Manigault tore into Morgan after she was fired from “Celebrity Apprentice” that year.
“I have never seen a judge stalk a contestant the way (Morgan) stalked me this season,” she told “Today” at the time.
“Look how he is, it’s not make-believe. He is obsessed. It’s really creepy.”
Morgan’s column comes as Manigault continues to appear on “Celebrity Big Brother” following her short stint in the White House.
“On Celebrity Big Brother, Omarosa’s been singing like a bitchy canary about Trump, V-P Mike Pence and others,” Morgan said. “And this will be just the start of it. Brace yourselves for the ‘insider’ book, the docu series and the Lifetime movie.”
