The View : Omarosa, this wasn't an audition

Wow - just watched the interview with Omarosa, and was wondering if she was auditioning for a spot on the panel? She gave us her whole life history - which, quite frankly no one really asked or cared. Save it for Oprah or 'Dr. Phil'; on this show they were asking her specific questions about her current job working in the Trump administration, and she didn't want to answer. Instead she wanted to talk about her personal tragedies and triumphs - which is not what the panel was interested in for Hot Topics.

When Sunny asked her a question about the current President and her job working for him, she said 'That's actually three questions' and she pretended she didn't understand the questionsa great tactic to tell us she had to 'murders in her family' which didn't pertain to the questions at hand.

Later on, when Joy asked her direct questions about her job in the Trump administration, she said 'that's an awful lot to answer in a 3 minute segment', but she had more than enough time to bore us with her life story. She did all this with a smile on her face and her passive-aggressive behavior.

Thank God Joy was there to back her down.

Great TV. However, she is so polarizing and disrespectful. She instills the "angry black women" stereotype. Is less than smart business women. Solidifies the lack of taste in the White House administration. And thinks this is appropriate behavior, in the first place.

I agree - she is a mess, but you can't deny that it was entertaining to watch

pvd, no way would she want a spot on the panel. She appears to always want to be the one in control and the center of attention. And from her interaction yesterday, she also didn't seem to like those ladies. Yes, she was in a hostile situation, but I've seen her on other shows and she just comes off as not being a nice person . She also appears to not like working with people who disagree with her. I know that I find Sunny to be quite condescending at times, but Omarosa can be the Queen of condescending

---

Yes, she was in a hostile situation,

---

Okay, what did I miss? The only hostility I saw was organically streaming from Omarosa's body without provocation.

I sad hostile because it's obvious that Joy despises Trump and her displeasure was obvious with her tone. I know she wanted to give Omarosa the business like she does each day when talking about Trump. Sunny also is none too pleased with Trump and was ready to challenge Omaraso. And yes, I do agree that Omarosa was putting out some hostile vibes as well.

I don't know.

I still saw the friction more as Joy was annoyed with her trying to 'run the conversation' which was about her personal trials and tribulations, and avoided talking anything about Trump - which is why she was there. How many times did Omarosa tell one of the hosts to 'hold on' with their question, so she could brag more about her accomplishments in life? That's what caused the hostility - from what I recall.

As I said earlier, this wasn't an audition - though Omarosa thought it was, and we would find her to be an interesting conversationalist. Afraid not.

That's how I saw it as well. I always, well almost always, find the View panel to be respectful and professional in interviewing their guests. A difference of opinion shouldn't be construed as hostility. The one time I thought they were unprofessional and horribly disrespectful of a guest was with, guess who? Michael Moore. The whole panel, including Meredith, were vicious to him.

I concur

As for her not wanting to join that panel - I think she would in a heartbeat. She wants to be in the spotlight at all times - and she thrives on tension and friction with others, so that panel would be great for her.

I recall about 10 years ago, there were rumors going around (spread by her no doubt) that she would be hosting her own talk show via Oprah Winfrey's production company (Harpo). Then that changed when Oprah started OWN seven years ago, and the story was that she was going to have her own talk show on OWNwhich never happened, either. I think Oprah never wanted her, was hardly impressed with her - and never offered her anything. (I thought of that again yesterday when she was throwing roses to Barbara Walters - sort of a subliminal 'F U' to Oprah?)

I have yet to see her be nice to anyone - anyone she has worked with or anyone she is being interviewed by. She's certainly not a pleasant woman, despite the lengths she goes to try and convince the public that she is.

BTW, I didn't see her in a hostile situation yesterday either - just being interviewed about the job she performs and the man she works for these days.

Of course it wasn't an Audition.

The show only hires ignorant Women with very low IQ's who have no morality or character.

So Omorosa isn't a fit on account of her being highly intelligent and having integrity and character.


The show will be off the Air soon enough

Omarosa on this panel! She would give Whoopi a big taste of her own medicine.

My feed gets more blank spots every time I am on here. LOL

Omarosa teaches us NOTHING about the black community except HER agenda.

What does this mean?

"Splodey heads keep splodin' " - Sarah Palin, 7-1-16

Omarosa came ready for battle! I wouldn't mind her on the panel if she wasn't so passive aggressive about some of her jabs. That turned me off. But I admire Joy for taking it. Joy can dish it out for sure, so it was nice to see her able to take it. I do like Joy as moderator. I think she is better at that than Whoopi is.

Omarosa is an opportunist, plain and simple. She saw an opportunity from her connection with Donald Trump from her Apprentice days, and she grabbed it. I can't stand her, but that was so entertaining to watch the other day when she was on the panel - mainly the way Joy squirmed and was left in the dust by Omarosa.

Do you mean that she didn't fight back and instead just sat there meekly when Omarosa shut her down? If that's what you meant - that Joy didn't get angry and burst out in rage, then I get what you are saying about "able to take it". The way I saw it - Omarosa shut Joy up, and even ignored her and turned her body and attention towards the other side to Jed while Joy was still looking at her talking. Omarosa completely dismissed Joy and shut her down. It made Joy look weak and not in control of the panel, and Omarosa got the better of her and took total control of the panel and had it her way. Joy seemed timid compared to Omarosa.

alachua, I totally agree that Omarosa is an opportunist. I remember her being asked during the campaign (or maybe right after he won) if she would consider taking a position in the Trump administration and she went on and on about being a minister and that was her priority. I didn't believe that for a minute. So I'm not surprised at all with her position with Trump.

---

on about being a minister and that was her priority.

---

In her studies, I wonder where she learned being pompous, rude and self-serving is part of Christianity (as she has said in past interviews 'she's a devout Christian')? IF they are looking to fill a slot for next season, she made Carlson look even better.

I kind of wish Raven was there - she would have given her some shade.

"Splodey heads keep splodin' " - Sarah Palin, 7-1-16

Yes, I think I agree with what you said. I do think Joy held back a bit because she was moderator. I think if she wasn't moderator, she may have jabbed her. I could be wrong. I enjoyed the segment!

---

Omarosa came ready for battle!

---

Exactly - she's very confrontational in every interview I've seen her in. I'm not sure why, but that's how she is (and a rather sad way to get through life, thinking everyone wants to 'confront' you).

"Splodey heads keep splodin' " - Sarah Palin, 7-1-16

Omorosa destroyed Behar.


It was a beautiful thing to watch.

Omorosa is a highly educated Woman and Joy was raised on a street corner.

I walked with Joy when I was a board operator/ engineer at Wabc Radio.

I knew Joy personally for 3 years.

She is one of the dumbest Women I have ever known then or now.

With all the ignored users I have blocked.

Omarosa was NOT playing. I thought it was refreshing to see someone handle Joy and hostile Sunny so effortlessly and I caught Jed's shade towards them towards the end too Lol. I haven't seen Joy that quiet since Michelle Malkin was on a while back. I only wish Whoopi hadn't had the day off.

She knew what the temp. of the panel is/was. She is just as qualified to speak as the president is.

She's like this on every show. So you cannot blame The View panel.

I wish she would conduct herself like Candace Cameron does. Candace Cameron may not be very educated on political issues, but Candace knows how to get her opinion across without shouting, coming off as obnoxious, and/or coming off like a bitch. Candace conducts herself with class, tact, listens to what others have to say, allows them to fully get their entire opinion in, and doesn't result to personal insults at all. I know that Candace was very meek, didn't contribute much, and just simply wasn't cut out for this show, but she brought her own unique & admirable strengths to the show that I feel often get overlooked.

The reason why I bring all of this up is because I feel like people would respect Omarosa a lot more if she had all of those same qualities. Omarosa is very strong, intelligent, & sharp (especially when it comes to verbally defending herself), but she'd be a lot better overall if she had tact.

There was no need for her to be on the defensive as soon as she sat down. They started by asking her the official job title which she holds, and for some reason she decided to tell the story of her life (which we have all heard before) and no one was really interested - not in a five minute segment. They had a lot of questions about the present, and her job under Trump - and she wanted to brag about her accomplishments. No one cared - and no one was as impressed as she was with herself.

Not a peep about this on Monday. I was a bit disappointed. Wendy Williams didn't even chime in about it.

Incidentally
She is already failing on the Black outreach job. With the reality star giving an insane speech. With her sitting right there.
