The Associated Press reports today that over twenty former contestants and crew members associated with NBC's THE APPRENTICE have shared that presidential candidate and former 'Apprentice' host Donald Trump exhibited sexist behaviors during his time on the reality show.
The site reports that Trump gave ratings to the female contestants on the show based on the size of their breasts. The article quotes 2005 winner Randal Pinkett as saying that Trump liked "gawking" at the female contestants and saying "something to the effect of 'I'd like to hit that.'"
The AP story also quotes camera assistant Rebecca Arndt who revealed that Trump would often make remarks to her looks about her looks, saying things such as, "There is a beautiful woman behind that camera, so I only want to look at that."
In response, Trump's press secretary Hope Hicks commented, "These outlandish, unsubstantiated, and totally false claims fabricated by publicity-hungry, opportunistic, disgruntled former employees, have no merit whatsoever. 'The Apprentice' was one of the most successful primetime television shows of all time and employed hundreds of people over many years, many of whom support Mr. Trump's candidacy."
Trump has come under fire of late for his comments regarding a former MISS UNIVERSE who claims that he had berated her for gaining weight. In 2015, NBC severed all ties with the presidential hopeful, following comments he made about Mexican immigrants in his campaign kickoff speech.
