Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna wrote about her experience with Donald Trump filming The Celebrity Apprentice and All-Star Celebrity Apprentice in her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
Then & Now:
“There were no signs back then that he’d become the monster he is today. Trump was a great entertainer. He would come out, say his lines, do his job, and move it along.”
“Come to think of it, he did hit on the married Playboy Playmate who had just had a baby. He was married to Melania. She came by to film an episode that revolved around her random beauty product. She was a robot. So was Ivanka — total Stepford Wives. And the sons Don Jr. and Eric were just as gross as they are now. I do think it’s interesting that I didn’t think Trump was gross at the time.”
“Flash forward to today, I really dislike him. I think he’s horrible and has ruined the world. I was shocked as anybody as to who he became. Maybe he’s always been that way and he finally took the mask off. I don’t know.”
“During the 2020 election, I had been very vocal about my feelings toward Trump. I had worked with this man. It’s not like he was a stranger to me,” concluded the former Days of Our Lives actress.
