Piers Morgan loses temper with Celebrity Apprentice opponent

February 15 2008

Piers MorganPiers Morgan lost his temper with a Celebrity Apprentice opponent - because she forgot how to spell his name.

The ex-tabloid editor and former Apprentice contestant Omarosa swore at one another and exchanged a bitter wore of words - shocking their fellow entrepreneurs. While Morgan called the reality star a "piece of trash" and fired her from his team, she told him he was hated by his kids.

British boxer Lennox Lewis said the fight was worse than his clash with Mike Tyson. "I fought with Tyson and I thought that was the biggest fight I've ever been in," he laughed. "But to travel with these two in the van was unbelievable."

Tempers flared when Apprentice chief Donald Trump decided to shake things up and mix the teams up - putting Morgan and Omarosa on the same side. It took less than an hour for the shouting to start, when the TV star missed the 'S' off Piers on the team accounts. "Shut the f*ck up, turn around, don't talk to me," Omarosa screamed when Morgan complained about her gaff.

"I'll teach you about leadership asshole. Your children hate you Piers - they're embarrassed by you."

"Leave my kids out of it, you foul-mouthed little tramp," Morgan yelled back.

"Read my lips, you're a disgusting little tramp and you're off the show. You've raised no money."

He added: "She's a pointless celebrity-wannabe idiot."

When the teams arrived at the boardroom to hear the results of the day's task, Morgan did not hesitate to tell Trump about the row. "She spelt my name wrong. I asked her to re-do the document and she threw it back at me. I realized she had no respect for me as the project manager," he said.

"I found it reprehensible that anyone would treat their boss in that manner so we had an argument about the fact she couldn't spell her own boss's name.

"She said 'You're not my boss, Donald Trump is'."

Morgan continued: "The thing I love most in my life is my family and my two boys. And a piece of trash like Omarosa trashes my family in a disgusting, foul-mouthed manner."

He added: "It reminds me of Tyson with Lennox. Tyson at that press conference did this kind of thing to Lennox.

"What did Lennox do? He punched him smack on the head."

I personally hate Omarisa

I personally hate Omarisa (whoops did i spell her name wrong?). Piers is just a nice family guy, who didn't do anything wrong. Everybody sees him as a threat, which is why everybody is trying to get him off the show. Omorosa doesn't waist her time with anybody unless she thinks they are a threat. Well said, she is poison. She is like a cockroach, you just cant get rid of her!

Omarosa is nothing in this

Omarosa is nothing in this celebrity show. If she is not fired before Piers, the next season of The Apprentic, well if there is any, will only interest Cockroach or any disgusting creature.

Someone please tell Piers

Someone please tell Piers that he is not Simon Cowell. No one in America knows who the heck he is. And he deserved to get attacked - he has been obnoxious from day one. Come on - yelling at Omarosa for misspelling his name and then calling him her boss. It is a game show Piers - no one is anyone's boss. What an ego.

What an embarrassment to the

What an embarrassment to the human race OH My Grossa is. Piers is rigtht she is a trashy, trampy wannabe. She does not belong on this show among talented, accomplished people. She couldn't even succeed at marriage, and she had the audacity to make false claims against Piers and his family. Talk about a bottom feeder. The only reason Trump has her on this show is pure sensationalism. He's a salesman. He knows America hates her, and that we all want her to go down in flames. Come on Mr. Trump. Step up to the plate, and toss the skank off the show.

In all the comments I have

In all the comments I have read, here and elsewhere, no one mentions Omarosa's behavior during the task. Piers asked that no seats on carriages be sold so that they would be available for the big-money friends who had promised to buy seats. She, with great glee, continued to disobey his direct orders by calling out "Celebrity Carriage Rides." It was amazing to me that Piers did not have Lennox pick her up and put her in a cab. It is amazing to me that the other team members did not find her behavior reprehensible. But, then, perhaps they did and it was edited out just to keep it interesting. In my opinion, she is nothing but a liitle bully and a big manipulator. She will keep on someone until she gets them to react and it is just to call attention to herself. I am certain that she does not dislike Piers or any of the others - she is just having her moment in the spotlight by being as nasty as she can and enjoying every minute of it.

Last week Celebrity

Last week Celebrity Apprentice was
totally offensive and disgusting. I am surprised that show producers allowed it to go on so long. Everyone knows that Omarosa is on the show to play the villian and raise the ratings. She lies about her team mates to save herself, she cheats, she's lazy, and she turns on people like a snake. While offensive and annoying it was just a representation of what business is really like. In no business that I know of would co-workers be permitted to speak to one another the way Piers and Omarosa did. Both of them were vile and ugly. Had they carried on like that in any business I've worked in, the boss would have put a stop to it and fired both of thenm. I don't care if they were on the winning team.
Also, the rules of the game say that someone must be fired. If the losing team had been composed of nobodys, somebody would have been fired with no hesitation. Again as in other aspects of life, there are different rules for celebrity.
If the reaction to last week's show is any indication, it may not be very long before Mr. Trump hears You're Fired from the network

Having seen Piers on Have I

Having seen Piers on Have I Got News From You and followed his career in Private Eye I suspect he is an unpleasant piece of work. He benefited from Insider trading, published a book of dubious reliability and encouraged the worst excesses of the tabloid press. Yet he's a hard man to skate down. Maybe you need one villain to confront another.

I do not find Pierce

I do not find Pierce obnoxious - or even out of line. He is witty and fun and for sure any one of us would freak out if this piece of human garbage Omarosa attacks him personally where he is raising money for the charity. If Omarosa is not fired, I will not watch the show. I also boycotted the show last season because Trump was equally trashy toward Rosie. I think something is really wrong with Trump to keep that villan. WE got it, she is a trash.

Last night's show was a

Last night's show was a turn-off. What happen to the rules of the game? nobody got fired. Piers fired Omarosa and three from that team should have gone to the board. They won because of Piers, she did not do a thing to help the team, she is NOT a team player and should be off the show. Her actions were uncalled for, and I don't know why she was ever on that show. Like Piers said she is a want a be.
I AM TELLING EVERYBODY I KNOW TO BOYCOT THE SHOW AND TO TELL THEIR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME, TILL SHE IS OUT OF THE SHOW I WILL GET BACK ON SEEING THE SHOW, I ALWAYS HAVE MY KIDS WATCH IT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THEY CAN LEARN SOMETHING, BUT LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY MY KIDS WERE CONFUSED TO SEE A GROWN LADY ACTING LIKE A BRAINLESS SOMETHING.

I'm no fan of Piers but

I'm no fan of Piers but Omarosa's conduct went way over the line of what should have been allowed on a charity show. Piers can't be fairly blamed for trying to defend himself.
