She said the alleged revelations from the president's former assistant are not surprising.
Omarosa Manigault Newman said she is not surprised by the alleged revelations made about President Trump and his daughter Tiffany.
The president's personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, was reportedly fired for allegedly telling reporters that he doesn't like being photographed with Tiffany because of her weight and that he couldn't pick her out of a crowd. Trump told reporters that his former assistant’s remarks are not true, saying, “I love Tiffany, she is great.”
Westerhout, 28, shared personal details about Tiffany and other members of the Trump family over several rounds of drinks with reporters last month, according to published reports.
Newman spoke to Inside Edition about her time in the White House.
“He would make disparaging comments about Tiffany and so Madeline’s disclosures to these reporters, or alleged disclosures, were not very surprising to me,” she claimed. “What was surprising is that she actually breached the confidence of the Trump family," she said.
Omarosa Manigault Newman herself was fired from The White House as the president’s assistant.
Westerhout had worked for Trump since just after the election, when she would accompany potential hires through Trump Tower.
"She was the gate keeper for Donald Trump and she sat outside his office," Newman said of Westerhout. "Donald Trump was very fond of her. He thought she was very pretty. On a personality level, she was very young and very immature but she quickly grew into her role."
Will Westerhout join the ranks of those who have dished on their time with the Trump team? At least one publishing house is trying to approach Westerhout about a book, according to The New York Times.
But Omarosa is telling Westerhout to watch out. Omarosa is being sued by the president for allegedly violating confidentiality agreements.
In a recent Twitter storm over the weekend, Trump called the former “Apprentice” star "disgusting and foul mouthed."
"I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul mouthed Omarosa is one. I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also!” he said.
"I think he's now using those tweets to send a message to Madeleine,” Omarosa added.
As for Tiffany, the 25-year-old is rising above the drama.
"I feel for her because Tiffany is a wonderful young woman,” Newman said.
Tiffany celebrated her self-esteem in the wake of those reports, sharing a positive poem on social media.
"Study me as much as you like, you will never know me," the poem read. "For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself. Because I have chosen to dwell in a place you can’t see."
