00:00Now, there's a new movie, The Apprentice, based on Donald Trump's origin.
00:09Now, I do know that he asked you to be on the show and you were like, no.
00:12I didn't actually say no. I said yes at first, and then I chose at the last minute to do celebrity rehab
00:19because I didn't trust that he would represent me the way I wanted to be represented,
00:25which was, like, I wanted to make sure that he would make me look exactly how I portrayed myself,
00:30and I was very nervous because of, like, the clickbait kind of stuff,
00:34that I would be fired immediately just because he thought that that would make headlines.
00:39People didn't like me at the time, obviously.
00:41Right.
00:42So, I was nervous about that, and I chose to do celebrity rehab instead
00:46because I really wanted to give people a chance to see what I was going through.
00:50So, it was a totally different thing. But, no, Donald Trump called me and asked me to do the show.
00:54No way. So, I mean, did you ever tell him, hey, Donald, I want to be seen this way?
01:00No, we did not have those conversations. That was not something that we talked about.
01:05But, like, I had lunch with Michael Cohen and, like, worked it all out with Michael.
01:09He was explaining to me who I was going to be allied with and who I wasn't.
01:13So, it was very funny.
01:14No, Donald Trump, I remember, got sort of pissed that I chose to do the other show,
01:18and I believe that something came out on TMZ later where he was like, I don't know that woman,
01:22which I thought was crazy, but very Donald Trump.
01:25So, given that you've met him, almost did business with him,
01:29do you think that this new Apprentice movie is going to, like, hurt his campaign or is it just a movie?
01:35Hurt his campaign? No, it seems like nothing can hurt his campaign.
01:38No, I think people will definitely watch it.
01:40I think, listen, The Apprentice was a great show. It was a fun show.
01:44So, you know, you may not like him as a human, you may not want him to be your president,
01:48but I think, you know, people will watch the movie.
