Reality TV villain Omarosa sparred with talk show host Wendy Williams (video: MyFoxNY) on Monday in a spat that at one point turned physical.
She appeared on Fox’s “The Wendy Williams Show” to promote her upcoming book but instead spent more time trading insults with the radio personality-turned-talk show host.
“I wanted to throw her off the set,” Williams later told The Associated Press.
The altercation started when Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth first walked onto the daytime talk show and said she was displeased with Williams’ introduction of her and would not be disrespected. Things got uglier when Williams grabbed Omarosa’s book cover to hold it up to the camera, and Omarosa snatched it back out of Williams’ hand.
“Omarosa wished her career was my career,” Williams told the AP. “Omarosa is a delusional, D-list, pathetic woman.”
The yanking gave way to Omarosa attacking Williams’ appearance, asking the talk show host whether she had had a nose job and suggesting she shouldn’t wear wigs.
But Williams didn’t stay silent throughout the heated interview. She called Omarosa “a typical angry black woman” and suggested cosmetic injections could fix her wrinkles.
Will there be a rematch?
“I have no reason to invite Omarosa back to the show,” said Williams. “That’s done. She had her moment.”
Omarosa was a contestant on the first “Apprentice” with Donald Trump in 2004. Her domineering personality quickly earned her enemies among fellow contestants and TV viewers.
An after-hours telephone message and e-mail to Omarosa’s publicist were not immediately returned Monday.

Who cares!
Two overrated, untalented, self-absorbed, arrogant black bitches going at each other, can walk down the street and see it everyday, we don’t have to tune in to see some nobodyhostess and a celebrity wannabe.
MUST BE AN EXTREMELY SLOOOOOW NEWSDAY!

letting a negative comment or action “roll off us as water from a duck’s back” is almost an extinct experience. we have to one-up our verbal opponent. sometimes people in situations as these two ladies may have had life experiences that cause them to be defensive and self-absorbed with not allowing anyone to “best” them, or that cause them to be outrageous to garner attention. I think both of them need a genuine friend in their lives who has mastered being that “duck”, and can tell them that sometimes more attention is given to those souls that are gentle but impart knowledge and wisdom.
Now, having said all of the above, this could just be a public relations manuever for Omo’s book. I didn’t see the full episode, only pieces of it on the news. Was the book ever discussed?
