Omarosa compares 'Big Brother' to the White House: 'A lot of people want to stab me in the back'

Omarosa Manigault-Newman says the tactics of her fellow reality show contestants are no different from the powerhouses on the hill.

On the series premiere of “Celebrity Big Brother,” the reality TV villain turned White House adviser reportedly said, "There's a lot of people that want to stab me in the back, kind of similar to the White House."

The former adviser to the president claimed she was a “reality TV legend,” adding, "The one thing I learned from politics is you have to learn how to watch your own back, and in some cases, you have to watch your front too."

In one clip from the show, Omarosa seemed ready to play the game, saying, “Us women, we have to stick together.”

Manigault-Newman, an ordained minister, entered President Trump’s orbit as a contestant on the first season of his reality show “The Apprentice,” gaining TV infamy as a regularly combative personality.

That reputation continued this past December, when she resigned from the White House, with various accounts suggesting she’d been forcibly removed.

At the time, she said, “I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me…”

Since then, Manigault-Newman has stated she has a “profound story to tell,” but whether that story will get picked up by the cameras of “Big Brother” is anyone’s guess.
