Taking to Twitter on Saturday evening, The Apprentice's producer Bill Pruitt left a hint that there is even more dramatic footage of Donald Trump that the public has yet to see. As Pruitt remarked:...
"As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng," Prutt said.
The comment has already launched a retinue of journalists lining up at the producer's virtual door to get the hypothetically "damning" goods on Trump.
The website reported on attempts to get further clarification from The Apprentice producer:
Pressure is building on The Apprentice producers to release unaired raw footage of the show after Friday’s release of a 2005 hot mic video of Donald Trump apparently bragging about sexually assaulting women and trying to have sex with a married woman.
More than 20 former contestants, crew members, and editors told the Associated Press that Trump treated women on the show inappropriately, including talking about which contestants he would like to have sex with and rating them by breast size.
A former "anonymous" cast member, as cited by Buzzfeed, reportedly told the AP:
“If there was a break in the conversation, he would then look at one of the female cast members, saying ‘you’re looking kind of hot today, I love that dress on you,’ then he would turn to one of the male cast members and say ‘wouldn’t you sleep with her?’ and then everyone would laugh,” a former crew member, who spoke anonymously due to a non-disclosure agreement, told AP.
“There would be about 10 or 12 cameras rolling and getting that footage, which is why everybody was like, this guy just doesn’t care.”...
NBC spokesperson Rebecca Marks told the AP "she did not know if the network has unaired footage in storage, and even if they did, they would not be permitted to release it," as reported by Buzzfeed.
