Bill Pruitt, a former producer of Donald Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” has come forward with explosive revelations about his experiences with the now-former president during the early years of the show starting in 2008. In a detailed piece for Slate, Pruitt, whose non-disclosure agreement has recently expired, describes witnessing Trump’s casual racism, sexist behavior, and notorious unwillingness to fulfill financial commitments.

Pruitt alleges that Trump expressed skepticism about a Black winner on the show, reportedly questioning, “Yeah… but, I mean, would America buy a n—-r winning?” This comment, according to Pruitt, highlighted Trump’s manipulative portrayal to the viewers, misleading them about his character and intentions. Pruitt accuses the show of setting the stage for “an American fraud that would balloon beyond its creators’ wildest imaginations.”

The article further details Trump’s derogatory treatment of women. Pruitt recounts instances where Trump made inappropriate comments about female staff and contestants. He describes a situation where Trump dismissed a female camera operator from an elevator saying, “She’s too heavy,” and on another occasion, praised a blonde, blue-eyed camera operator by comparing her to his daughter Ivanka, saying, “There’s a beautiful woman behind that camera. That’s all I want to look at.”

Pruitt also touches on Trump’s well-documented history of failing to pay his debts fully. He shares a conversation with an architect who, despite being proud of his work for Trump, was not fully compensated. The architect told Pruitt, “It’s bittersweet. I’m very proud of this place, but I wasn’t paid what was promised. Trump pays half upfront but he’ll stiff you for the rest once the project is completed.” He added that challenging Trump legally would result in more expenses than the owed amount, a tactic Trump reportedly knew and exploited.

These revelations provide a stark contrast to the polished image of success and decisiveness that “The Apprentice” broadcasted to its viewers, raising serious questions about the ethical implications of reality television and its impact on public perception and politics.
