NeNe Leakes: I Quit 'Celebrity Apprentice' Because Trump 'Disrespected' Me (VIDEO)
According to NeNe Leakes, she left 'The Celebrity Apprentice' because of Donald Trump's decision to switch her to the men's team as a way to end fighting between she and Star Jones. On 'Access Hollywood Live' (weekdays, syndicated), Leakes said she felt "disrespected" by Trump and that this decision was her breaking point."The final straw for me was when Mr. Trump decided to switch me, take me out of my comfort zone to accommodate Star. I felt he was disrespecting me," said Leakes.
Even a call from Trump couldn't dissuade her from leaving because, she said, "I make my own decisions in life."
And although Leakes claimed to not hold a grudge against Jones, there's clearly no love lost between the two. "I haven't heard from [Jones] and I don't mind not hearing from her. I don't hold a grudge and it costs me nothing to say hello. But, I don't want to have anything to do with her," she said.
