Donald Trump may have excused his words in the Access Hollywood tape by calling it “locker room talk,” but he once fired a contestant on The Apprentice for just that.
The Republican presidential candidate criticized professional wrestler Maria Kanellis-Bennett for mentioning that someone “took a crap” in her dressing room while in the boardroom.
“The reason why I said you were so arrogant was because you came in our dressing room and you took a crap and left the stench in the room,” Maria said to fellow contestant, chef Curtis Stone.
Trump said that Maria‘s comments were “gross” and “disgusting. This is my boardroom. It’s not a locker room.” He then fired her.
Maria says that she was forced by producers to apologize to Trump for her comments after her firing. “I distinctly remember that after I said what I said, I was told I shouldn’t talk like that as a lady, and that, to me, was inequality at its best. I can’t speak my mind as a female, but he can speak his mind as a male. There’s a problem with that,” she told the NY Daily News.
