Life

Manigault first attended Rayen High School in Youngstown. In 1996 she earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, and later a master's degree from Howard University in Washington, DC.

In her application for the reality show The Apprentice , she stated that she worked for President Clinton in the White House . After leaving the show, she accused fellow candidate Ereka Vetrini of making racist remarks about her. Vetrini vehemently denied this. This dispute reached its climax when Vetrini took a lie detector test on the Howard Stern Show .

After The Apprentice , Manigault appeared in the shows Fear Factor , The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch and The Surreal Life and is now marketing herself with not inconsiderable success. In 2008 she was also seen in the Celebrity Apprentice series.

White House time

On January 4, 2017, Donald Trump appointed Manigault as Director of Communications for the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. She resigned her position as communications director on December 13, 2017 with effect from January 20, 2018. To the press, she denied rumors that she was fired by Chief of Staff John F. Kelly and that there were tumultuous scenes. Prior to the publication of her book Unhinged in August 2018, she made an audio recording of her dismissal interview with Chief of Staff Kelly, which took place in the highly confidential "Situation Room", where no electronic devices are allowed. The day after, she published another secretly recorded confidential conversation with the US president himself.

In the book about the White House under President Trump, Omarosa Manigault-Newman accuses the US President of unbridled behavior and racist remarks, but without being able to prove this. In addition, she describes Trump as "absent-minded, self-centered, misogynistic and insecure". The White House described the book as “full of lies and false accusations”. Newman herself stated that after her release she was offered a "high-ranking position" on the campaign team for Trump's 2020 re-election. However, this offer was made together with a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Private

From 2000 to 2005 she was married to Aaron Stallworth and carried the surname Manigault-Stallworth during this time. From August 2010 until his death on September 3, 2012, she was in a relationship with the US actor Michael Clarke Duncan . On April 8, 2017, she married John Allen Newman, pastor of the Sanctuary at Calvary Church in Jacksonville, Florida.
