Manigault-Stallworth, who used to work for a Washington, D.C. firm before getting her shot at becoming a Donald Trump employee, had strongly negative reactions from viewers during her twelve weeks at the show. Most fans hated her, but a few liked her business-like ways.
Manigault-Stallworth was characterized on the show as a villain, partly because of her scheming behavior towards other contestants. During the final episode in which the two finalists competed against each other, contestant Kwame Jackson chose Stallworth as part of his final team. She deliberately lied to him and caused major complications with his final contest, and this ultimately contributed to his loss on the program. During the show she also constantly complained of migraine headaches due to a small amount of plaster falling on her head, something that was mocked in comedy bits on other shows.
After being "fired" from the show, her celebrity grew, in a case similar to that of William Hung of American Idol. She has been on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and a renowned pornographic magazine offered her money to pose nude. She refused the offer to pose nude, however, declaring in front of television cameras that some of her parts were reserved for her husband.
Manigault-Stallworth was controversial on and off the show. After being fired, she publicly accused fellow contestant Ereka Vetrini of calling her a racist slur. This claim has been vehemently denied by Vetrini, Donald Trump, Mark Burnett, and NBC.
Manigault-Stallworth managed to continually contribute to a public dislike for her by frequently misleading the press (though very rarely outright lying to them) about her career and past. Notably, she was scheduled to appear as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel LiveJimmy Kimmel Live is a late-night talk show in the United States hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Despite the name, the show is actually taped an hour before it begins airing in the Eastern Time Zone. The show premiered after Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003 on ABC. but walked off set because there was a lie detector machine, which was completely unrelated to her appearance that evening.
