Dr. Phil Rocks! (But Omarosa Still Got Away)

It’s true, I enjoy the Dr. Phil show. I’ve liked him since he started out on Oprah. I have to admit, though, that what I enjoy the most is watching him really dig into people’s stories and dragging the truth out of them. It’s refreshing to see someone who’s able to get to the heart of what people are really about.

So, naturally, when I saw that Dr. Phil was going to be drilling Omarosa today, I was a little excited. I’m one of those people who thinks that Omarosa did women (and black women, in particular) a serious injustice with the persona that she adopted on The Apprentice. The first thing she did on the Dr. Phil show today was to admit that she made a conscious decision to play the “naughty” girl so that she could get more airtime. So, I thought, “Great, she’s actually going to be honest and taken some ownership of her actions.” WRONG!

Dr. Phil asked her repeatedly why she is badmouthing Mark Burnett, Donald Trump and others associated with The Apprentice, saying that they need to be careful of their portrayal of black women on the show, when she chose to become who she was on the show. She skirted the actual question each and every time he asked it, claiming that she is not criticizing them, but that she’s doing research for her dissertation on the patterns and portrayals of black women and reality TV. So, in essence, she blames others for her own damaging actions.

You’ll have to go to today’s show notes to read it for yourself, but I really couldn’t believe that she managed to avoid answering the question. So much so, that Dr. Phil eventually gave up on getting an answer out of her.

I thought that Omarosa’s antics on The Apprentice were stupifyingly incredible, but I did suspect that some of it was staged by her. However, now there is no question in my mind that she is completely incapable of taking responsibility for her own actions. Thank you, Omarosa, for making that point crystal clear. It honestly amazes me what a fantasy land people are able to create for themselves in their own minds. I’ve seen it before, but Omarosa takes it to another level. And it still blows my mind. All of that gold on her rear end must have cost a fortune… 😉

If I ever become completey wrapped up in the concept of my own infallability, I sure hope that someone cares enough about me to snap me out of it, no matter what it takes!
