A former producer of “The Apprentice” says Donald Trump used the N-word when referring to a Black contestant during production, and is speaking out about the long-rumored incident now because his nondisclosure agreement recently expired.
Bill Pruitt, who worked in production for the first two seasons of the NBC reality show, writes in a Slate story that Trump used the racist word while questioning whether Kwame Jackson could win.
In the piece, “The Donald Trump I Saw on The Apprentice,” Pruitt writes that Trump revealed his character on set – and that some days “still haunt” him.
