Kim Kardashian Offers Khloe Post-’Apprentice’ Condolences
Khloe Kardashian may have received her walking papers from Donald Trump on last night’s Celebrity Apprentice, but she’ll always have the support of her big sister.
Kim Kardashian comes to Khloe’s defense on her official Web site today, lashing out at The Donald for what she sees as an unfair ouster.
“Last night Donald Trump fired Khloe!” Kardashian writes. “I was a little disappointed at how she was given the boot! Trump fired her after saying he’d lost respect for her because she previously had a DUI. She obviously made an awful mistake but definitely has taken responsibility for her actions and we are all very proud of her.”
(Khloe Kardashian was arrested in July 2008 after violating the conditions of her parole stemming from a DUI arrest. She was released after 173 minutes in custody.)
On last night’s episode, Trump upbraided Kardashian for missing a task because she was required to travel back to Los Angeles to fulfill her DUI classes. But he also laid into Khloe for the DUI itself.
“I hate people who drive under the influence; I really do,” Trump asserted. “When you told me [that Kardashian had received a DUI], I lost a little respect for you…If I had known that you were missing time away from the task because of DUI, you would have never have never been on the show.”
Kim, nonetheless, sticks by her sister’s accomplishments on Celebrity Apprentice. “I am so proud Khloe made it this far!” says Kardashian. “The reason she got fired had nothing to do with her work ethic or her performance on the show!I’m glad she’s home!”
Have your say in the comments section: Do you think Donald Trump unfairly axed Khloe Kardashian from Celebrity Apprentice?
She actually did nothing thing interesting on the show. She just showed up to every task but had very little impact on any projects. Lets face it ‘KK’ was a…, oops- I mean is a reality wanna-be tryn’ to be as famous as her big sis’. I think DT was right on the money with his comment. She should have taken care of that DUI before taking on the Trump.
I felt that is was wrong for Donald to fire her after the fact and unless Mr Trump has been living under a bus I am sure he was aware of the situation she has made a mistake and has been paying for it. I also feel that if the DUI was the reason for firing her then why was Dennis Rodman on the show as everyone is aware he not only has alchohol issues but does Donald think domestic violance is any less of a danger.
Wait, you can get a DUI for eating bacon-wrapped-butter while driving? Who knew!
unbelievable. He stood next to Tara Connor saying he’s “a big believer in second chances.” What a load of crap. I think he knew all along or should have. I won’t watch again and I won’t buy ALL either.
I think someone at NBC needs to fire Donald Trump. Who does he think he is…God? He seems to think that he is. I guess he’s going to run background checks on everyone within his various organizations and fire everyone with a DUI… and anyone that gets one in the future. He is such a jerk, even the look on his daughters face showed her disappointment when he stated that he “hates” anyone who makes the mistake of driving drunk, even if they own up to it and work to help others learn from thier mistake like Khloe is doing. I have been a faithful fan of the Apprentice since its first season. But not any longer. I refuse to watch another episode nor will I ever have anything to do with anything Trump related. I think all of the other celebrities on the show should quit as a way of protesting his attitude. It could be their collective way of saying to the Donald, You’re fired and we all quit. No what are you gonna do?
