Melissa Rivers on Her Childish Departure from Celebrity Apprentice
Now that Melissa Rivers has seen herself from the outside looking in, she is embarrassed that she acted like a complete fool after Donald Trump fired her on the Celebrity Apprentice.
Of course she tries to justify her explosive reaction and put the blame on everyone else.
Melissa reflects,
“What can I say? It was pretty messy and not anything I’m proud of. But I was emotional and I was hurt.”
Fancast had the lovely opportunity to interview the bitter 41-year-old, who acted like a spoiled brat once she got the boot. Here’s the interview:
So the boardroom – Only the tip of the iceberg has actually made air.
Really? From what they show, I seem to be very, very quiet and start addressing different things in a pretty cohesive manner as Annie and Brande, and specifically Brande, sat there and just flat out made up lies about me. They accused me of saying I did things or did not do things that were completely untrue.
Let’s jump back a bit. You guys were organized into teams and for this task. When you were on the team with Brande and Annie did you smell a rat? Did you sense trouble?
Well, the problems had started two episodes ago with the fashion show. Until then, Annie had been constantly pulling me aside and telling me how much we had to get rid of Brande, that Brande was dead weight, blah, blah, blah. Then suddenly she became best friends with Brande. So I knew what was going on.
So Annie was playing the game?
Let me just say that Annie is very smart and as she’s said, she’s playing to win.
And Brande?
I actually confronted Brande earlier in this episode. I organized for Annie to go out and get all these different locations, these shoots, which she took credit for, which was fine. I didn’t really care. And Annie kept calling in and Brande kept taking the phone and going out of the room. Or going in the corner and whispering and laughing into the phone. None of that was shown. I finally confronted Brande and said, “Enough whispering. Enough. This is ridiculous. You guys are making me feel terrible.” And then Brande used that against me, saying I was too personal, too crazy.
What about Annie?
She played both sides of the fence. It just got worse. You didn’t see the two of them constantly whispering in the corner. Constantly. It wasn’t my imagination.
What else don’t we see in this episode that leads up to the blowout?
You don’t see the constant phone calls between Annie and Brande with them laughing and giggling in the corner. You don’t see them whispering. You don’t see – you don’t see everything falling out of the van and those two walking ahead and me in my walking cast, picking everything up out of the street and carrying it upstairs. You don’t see a lot of what they – how they behaved. There is just simply no time to show all that. But they were the mean girls. It was back to the worst of high school.
