TV One: Omarosa of "Life After"
"Life After," The world's most famous reality show villainess, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, actually admitted to "crossing the line" a few times during her various stints in front of TV cameras.
"In fact, I have stepped over that line, kicked the line and walked past the line in every situation on reality television," she told reporters at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena on Friday.
The former Howard University grad student and political consultant for former Vice President Al Gore famously appeared on the first season of NBC's "The Apprentice" in 2004, where she began making a name for herself as the woman you love to hate.
She has gone on to appear in dozens more reality shows, including memorable turns on VH1's "The Surreal Life," where the claws came out against housemate and 70s supermodel Janice Dickinson; and a run on 2008's "Celebrity Apprentice," where her clash with eventual winner Piers Morgan got very nasty and awkwardly personal. Last summer, she had a physical confrontation with radio jock-turned-TV talk show host Wendy Williams.
On Friday, she threw somewhat of an olive branch to all three.
"I would like first to apologize for calling Janice Dickinson a crackhead, and saying she was koo-koo, and saying she was the oldest supermodel. I also might want to apologize for talking about her jowels and her bad plastic surgery. I would also like to apologize for saying she had a bad weave and saying she was a terrible mother.
"I might also want to apologize to Piers Morgan for saying that he was a British idiot, and maybe to Wendy Williams for calling her a man."
When a reporter challenged the sincerity of her apologies, she laughed, "I meant that, I meant that from my heart. I'm evolving."
Omarosa was at the TCA panel along with Star Jones' ex-husband Al Reynolds and actor Daryl "Chill" Mitchell to promote their new TV One docu-series "Life After," which focuses on a well-known person or group and the story of a transformative event in their lives.
The eight-episode, half-hour series – premiering Sunday, Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. – also includes shows chronicling Christopher Reid, Bell Biv Devoe, Eva Marcille, Jaimee Foxworth and Taimak.
