Nene and Star Go at it in the Celebrity Apprentice Finale Tonight

by Ayvaunn Penn, YourBlackWorld.com

Tonight on The Celebrity Apprentice finale, NeNe Leakes and Star Jones have at it one last feisty time. When asked by Donald Trump whether Jones bothered her or not, Leakes unforgivingly replied, “Yes, she bothered me very much,” with almost no hesitation. Trump then turned to Jones for a response. Poised yet firm, Jones fought against the current of NeNe’s interrupting rebuttals in order to audibly answer Trump. It was at that time that she sharply accused Leakes saying that “NeNe attacked every single black woman” who had been on the show that season. Leakes wasted not a second retorting, “Don’t try to make this a black thing.” Jones then added that she was embarrassed personally by Leakes’ demeanor on the show and that NeNe – “a piece of work” as Trump crowned Leakes – was an embarrassment to black professional women.

Leakes’ choice of language truly added color to this season of The Celebrity Apprentice, and the way she conducted herself certainly did not contribute to tearing down the stereotype that black women are loud, foul mouthed, and full of attitude. Surely not many are quick to boast pristine tongues, but surely the same many are aware of where to draw the diction line when it comes to the professional world. Based on what we saw this season, it could be deemed that Leakes’ potty mouth went too far for the business realm. Perhaps – just perhaps – Jones is right.

Star Jones and Nene Leakes are a disgrace to all black women..This is the filth whitey like to promote, that will showcase their contempt for all things black..I wish these bufoons will disapear and not show up on any TV sets, but that is wishful thinking on my part..At least Omorosa was not in this fray, that would have taken it over the top..In the ten seasons of Celebrity, only one black winner, Dr Randal Pinkett and he was asked to co-share his prize with a white girl, go figures…

I
am most proud of Star Jones for displaying courageous dignity in the face of
NeNe Leaks who went overboard with her ill-mannered behavior as a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice. I can only imagine that NeNe was invited to the show
because of her role on Real House Wives of Atlanta and not for any level of
professionalism. In general professional people know how to handle themselves
in or outside of a boardroom. It is one thing to be ignorant in the boardroom
and quite another to open your mouth and let everyone in the room know that you
are ignorant. Since NeNe felt the need to bring her street game to the
boardroom would she not at least work it toward her advantage and make everyone
other than herself look like a fool. Apparently NeNe has neither boardroom nor
street game since she left the show with a losing streak as project manager.

NeNe
called Star out for her education. When will black people stop hating other
blacks for taking the time to improve their chances at being successful by
getting an education? If NeNe was not so busy getting her education in the
street she too could have had a University of Houston law degree.

Finally,
I find it interesting that NeNe was working for a charity that represents
abused women. Could it be that NeNe withdrew from The Celebrity Apprentice because
her charity no longer wanted to be represented by a female who literally
battered women with her words?www.boxitupmovinforward.blogspot.com
