Apprentice Producer Alleges Trump Used N-Word Discussing Contestant

Jump to Summary

Former producer on The Apprentice, Bill Pruitt, has alleged that former President Donald Trump used a racial slur during a discussion about a Black contestant in the show's first season. Pruitt claims the incident occurred while Trump, along with other producers, was deliberating over whether Kwame Jackson or Bill Rancic should be declared the winner. According to Pruitt, Trump rejected the idea of Jackson winning, questioning why America would accept a Black winner. Pruitt stated that although the incident was recorded, it was never publicly acknowledged or surfaced.

These allegations come after similar claims were made in 2016 about Trump using racial epithets, though no concrete evidence was ever released. Pruitt, who signed a non-disclosure agreement at the time of his involvement with the show, is now speaking out after the agreement's expiration. Trump has denied these allegations, stating he does not use such language and claiming that no tapes exist of him using the slur.
