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.
