'Apprentice' producer alleges appalling secrets about Trump after NDA expires

According to one of the original producers of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" reality show, the first two years starting back in 2008 exposed him to the now-former president where he stood back and watched Trump's casual racism, his demeaning treatment of women, and complaints that the former president was lousy at paying his debts.

Writing for Slate, producer Bill Pruitt claimed his non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has expired and he is now free to divulge what he saw behind the scenes while working with Trump and, in some cases, it was shocking.

According to Pruitt, "By carefully misleading viewers about Trump—his wealth, his stature, his character, and his intent—the competition reality show set about an American fraud that would balloon beyond its creators’ wildest imaginations."

Getting right to it, he detailed Trump's casual use of the N-word, explaining that the now-former president was worried viewers would not accept a Black winner on the show with, Pruitt recalling Trump off-handily stating, “'Yeah... but, I mean, would America buy a n----r winning?'"

Pruit also reported on Trump's demeaning comments about women, writing, "While leering at a female camera assistant or assessing the physical attributes of a female contestant for whoever is listening, he orders a female camera operator off an elevator on which she is about to film him. 'She’s too heavy,” I hear him say. Another female camera operator, who happens to have blond hair and blue eyes, draws from Trump comparisons to his own Ivanka Trump. 'There’s a beautiful woman behind that camera,' he says toward a line of 10 different operators set up in the foyer of Trump Tower one day. 'That’s all I want to look at.'"

As for Trump's oft-noted history of not paying people for their work, Pruitt recalled speaking with an architect who did work for Trump who lamented, "It’s bittersweet. I’m very proud of this place, but I wasn’t paid what was promised. Trump pays half upfront but he’ll stiff you for the rest once the project is completed.”

“If I tried to sue, the legal bills would be more than what I was owed. He knew that. He basically said 'Take what I’m offering,'” the architect added.
