    Entertainment Center: Omarosa on Wendy Williams

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008, 07:17 AM CST [General]

    The Scoop:  Look quickly, because this video is bound to get removed any second by youtube.  Omarosa was a guest on the Wendy Williams TV Talk Show on FOX to promote her new book, and instead behaved... well... exactly how we might expect.  However, it's still a little shocking. 

     

     

     

    Colleen says:  I'm less fired up about her behavior at the beginning of the show than I am about the topic of her book.  First of all, there is a second part to this interview that I didn't post, and didn't even watch, but I hear it gets heated again.  Back to the book, "The Bitch Switch."  Wherein Omarosa claims that every woman has the ability to turn into a raging bitch to get what she wants. 

    Okay, first of all, if all you wanted was attention, negative or positive, then yes, that might work (as it has for Omarosa).  I really take offense at the notion that this bitch trait is one that is innate to women, and that we should "get in touch" with it.  I don't wanna be a bitch.  I don't think that makes me appear to be stronger.  I think it makes me appear to be meaner.  Even when I have (to use Omarosa's term) "flipped my bitch switch,"  I never feel good about it.  I don't want to be a person who disrespects others to get what I want.  I want to be the kind of person who is firm about what I want and need, but is respectful of the feelings and beliefs of others.  In other words, I would argue, what we need is an "integrity switch."  Maybe I'll write that book. 

    Enough of perpetuating the "mean girl" movement.  I don't understand why we're being put in these categories of "mean" and "nice."  Can't we be strong women without sacrificing respect and integrity?  I like to think we can do it!

    I didn't even watch the whole clip, because it just doesn't matter. She is a nobody and a Bitch or "playing" one. So? So that makes a book? I wouldn't read it if it was free.

    I really think this book of hers is a huge step backward for women. I hate the word bitch and how it is being used in our society today, especially when it comes to young girls. She needs to stop being so selfish and think about the harm that she is contributing to women today. I do not want my daughter to grow thinking that she needs to be a bitch to get what she wants! Ugh, I have such a strong dislike for that woman. I think it's pretty patronizing for her to say that she did the show for charity, Really? Because I don't remember hearing anything about it until now, is this book for charity too?

    And I would definitely buy your Integrity switch book if you wrote it Colleen!
