Mod: Back in his "pussy grabber" heyday Donald Trump starred on the crap reality TV show The Apprentice. Apparently there are some filmed moments that Chubby Cheddar hopes will remain secret. Will they?Are Donald Trump’s Rumored ‘Apprentice’ Tapes Now Owned By Jeff Bezos? (Deciderlink): Jeff Bezos is paying up for MGM, and while he’s getting an enviable catalogue, there may be other factors that played into this major Hollywood acquisition. Bezos’ company, Amazon, has acquired the historic MGM Studios for nearly $9 billion, The Hollywood Reporter reports, making Bezos the owner of classic titles like the James Bond film series and The Wizard of Oz— but also an extensive collection of reality shows that includes The Apprentice, the series Donald Trump launched in 2004.
Now that
The Apprentice has landed in
Bezos’ hands, it could mean the release of the oft-rumored
Apprentice outtakes, which have never been shared publicly but allegedly contain footage of
Trump using questionable language.
All of the footage from the long-running reality show is property of producer
Mark Burnett’s former production company
One Three Media, which was acquired by
MGM in 2014. But now that the studio has been acquired by
Amazon, does this mean that
Bezos could finally share the alleged footage, escalating his years-long feud with
Trump?
While the outtakes have been squirreled away under lock and key for years, actor
Tom Arnold alleges they include footage of the former president casually tossing around some vulgar language.
“I’ve seen a compilation tape that my buddy shared with me. He says the n-word, he says, he calls
Eric the r-word,” said on a 2018 episode of the
Shoot This Now podcast. Two years earlier in 2016,
Arnold claimed on
The Dori Monson Show that the outtakes feature
Trump“sitting in that chair saying the n-word, saying the c-word … He says every bad thing ever. Every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever.”
Not long after
Trump’s
Access Hollywood tape with
Billy Bush was released in 2016, a former producer on the show named
Bill Pruitt suggested
Trump’s vulgar language in the clip — which included the infamous line “
Grab ’em by the pussy” — wasn’t an isolated incident. “As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng,” he tweeted in October 2016.
Mod: I'd say Bezos should release all of it on 60 Minutes. More at the link.
