Well for the First Time Since her abrupt resignation former white house top aid omarosa manigold newman is speaking and setting the record straight. She set down for a exclusive tell all for abcs Good Morning America today. According to the white house there might be more to her resignation than meets the eye. Fox5s bob barnard is live at the white house with the det details. Bob . Reporter wisdom, officially the white house line is that she resigned. And that is also her position. But white house sources are telling reporters that omarosa was actually fired on tuesday and that there was quite a dust up inside the white house at the time. Now, this morning did confirm she was unhappy and uncomfortable at times in her role as the senior avenue from it can american policy adviser really to the president. She was officially the director of communications of the office of the public liaison. Shes known trump for 13 years. She was a contestant on the a apprentice and fired by donald trump. She and the chief of staff general kelly have clashed. That he restricted her access to the oval office and that he actually fired her on tuesday n she was upset, carried on, went to ivanka trauma top appeal that firing. And when she got nowhere there she actually tried to enter the residence of the white house and that she had to be physically restrained by the secret service and escorted off the property. Omarosa says that did not happen. The secret service says, there was nothing physical about it. All they did card key. Here now omarosa explaining part of the intrigue on Good Morning America this morning. The white house is the most secure place in the world. It is ridiculous to assert that anyone would be able to violate the security parameters that is outlined in the most secure building in the world. Not only is it ridiculous, but it is also absurd, and i would hope that people would recognize theres a very good security infrastructure around this president. I wouldnt want anyone nonetheless myself to be able to run around or cause a disruption because it is secure for that reason. He is truly the president of the United States and should be afforded that respect and ive always been respect full. Certainly i had more access than most and people had problems with that. People had problems with my 14year relationship with this president. But ive always been loyal to him, straight forward, and i provided him with the support that hes needed throughout this year in the white President Trump says this thank you omarosa for your service. I wish you continued success. Again, the official word is that she has resigned although the intrigue here is that she was fired and carried on as she was carried out, guys. Bob, thanks very much. The big question i think that came out was, you know, there had been reports there were racial issues that she was having hard time dealing with. Did that come up at all in the interview today. I did watch the interview hold and i did in the noose room. She alluded to thing she wasnt happy with thing happening in the white house. She couldnt talk about it yet. Shes still there until january 20th. Shell speak herpes after that. Probably a book. There are things happening she wanted happy with. She was the only africanamerican in a senior role, you know, one of the few women the only women in the senior roll in the Trump Administration she was bothered by things she saw and heard inside the white house, and the way she talked about it i mean you clearly know there are issues there maybe come t head as weve been hearing behind the scenes and thats what led to this, but, its rivetting, fascinating, curious to know exactly what went down. One of things she was very specific about was what happened in charlottesville. She mentioned that specifically during the talk with strahan and when she was talking about some of the things that were uncomfortable. And charlottesville came up. Yup. So it will be interesting to see when she does do this book or whatever she has coming out, what happened we all know what happened but what her take is on what happened what was happening behind the scenes, what went on in charlottesville want the president said about charlottesville about both sides having responsibility as well. I will say this. I thought and maureen and i both thought, i thought she handled herself very well. Absolutely in the interview. She handled herself very well. Clearly its not the last weve heard from her. Well hear more coming up in january apparently. Were hearing more about sexual harass many and oscar nominee adding her voice to the me too movement. Tatalking about selma hayek sharing her experience working with harvey calle a monster. Al has the details for us and the latest names caught up the Sexual Misconduct scandal. Another day another accusation and allegation. Well this time its selma hayek opened up to the New York Times with a chilling and detailed account of working with Harvey Weinstein. She says refusing his advances led to a nightmare situation. In the piece, she recalls a disgraced producer quote she calls him my monster. She says that he hound her for years turning up at her hotel room at all hours of the night asking for massages, showers and sex. She says he even threatened to kill her after she repeatedly told him no. She says he also made outrageous demands during the production of her movie frieda and insisting she film a sex seen with full frontal nudity. Hayek says she agreed in order to get the film completed. But at great emotional cost. Overnight Harvey Weinstein responded to her allegations. His lawyer releasedhi wording very curious here. His Statement Reads quote coal all of the sexual allegations as portrayed by selma are not accurate. And other whos witnessed the events have a different account of what transpired. Also this morning, pbs suspended the distribution of the tavis smiley show a mid allegations of Sexual Misconduct by the talk show host. In a statement the organization said inquiry uncovered multiple credible allegations of conduct that are inconsistent with the values and standards of pbs. I know my an julio spirit is saying why am i in this clip were looking at tavis smiley on the right. Not miss angelou and outside law firm is handling this tavis smiley investigation. Meanwhile, one hollywood film maker confessed hes a part of the problem. Morgan spur lock known for the documentary super size me wrote online post detailing his own poor behavior including rape allegations from a woman in college when he believed the he also admitted to paying off a woman who worked for him after calling her demeaning names and admitting hes been unfaithful to every partner hes ever had. Spur lock ends the post saying he will do better and is finally ready to listen. Hayek ended her story saying she admires all the brave women who have spoken up and inspired her to share her story too. I moon i feel like i need to take a shower after that report. But wow. Spur lock coming out i guess ahead of any allegations that might come out. Is that why hes ready to listen. Hes afraid theyll come out. Now ill listen. Or he just wants add attention. Nobody wants that attention, steve. I was going to say. Nobody wants that kind of attention. Hes trying to get ahead of something here. So well see what the fallout is for that. Is that the name of the game now . Lets get ahead of because ive done it, let me lay it all out. Say im sorry. Does this exonerate or make you look worse. It shines a spotlight on you for sure. A lot of times what happens is someby there first and say theyre going to put it out there and nervous these people jump forward and say my bad. Even though its getting ready to come out.
