Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth apparently doesn't just beef with her fellow female candidates on NBC's currently airing The Celebrity Apprentice.

The Donald described Manigault-Stallworth -- who was first fired by Trump during The Apprentice's original installment -- as both "nasty" and "very, very smart." Since Trump has gone on the record in characterizing Manigault-Stallworth as "pure evil" but also someone he "really, really likes," O'Brien said that must make Trump "the devil."
"She's evil for other people, for me she's good. I actually love Omarosa," Trump told O'Brien. "She's terrific... but she's a tough woman. There's no question about it."
It should come as no surprise Manigault-Stallworth butted heads with Baldwin or any of the other The Celebrity Apprentice candidates.
During The Apprentice's initial 2004 first-season run Manigault-Stallworth accused fellow contestant Ereka Vetrini of using "racist terms" when Vetrini commented that "the pot [was] calling the kettle black" in an early episode of the series -- however no footage of the alleged incident ever aired and NBC, Vetrini and Trump all refuted the claim.
Manigault-Stallworth then appeared as a housemate on The Surreal Life's fifth season where she constantly feuded with former America's Next Top Model judge and fellow reality retread Janice Dickinson.
Manigault-Stallworth has previously stated she's aware of her reality persona.
"The first thing I did was I recognized that I was cast as the villain. Instead of crumbling under that, I embraced the character," she told the St. Petersburg Times recently. "The villains are sexy and fun to watch. I cultivated it, there were times I exaggerated it. The only thing that I let the public see was the naughty girl antics."
