LaToya, eliminated in last week’s show, barely had a chance to hit the pavement before Nene lit into Star.
"When Star did what she did to LaToya in the boardroom, I really was like, I want to say I’m going to kick Star’s a--," Nene hissed privately. "I’m going to figure it out. How I am going to f--- Star up. And I am."
Hoo-boy. Lines drawn in the sand. Dukes up. And Nene’s ire didn’t dim at delivery of the task.
The teams were told to produce a hair show showcasing Biosilk and CHI hair products for Farouk Shami. They would be judged on brand messaging, showcasing of products and tools, and overall presentation with the winner earning $40 thousand for charity. Lil Jon lost a rock paper scissors duel with Meat, making him the men’s default PM. Nene accepted the PM slot for the women, but criticized Star for putting her on the spot.
And then, right in front of Farouk and The Donald, all hell broke loose. Nene lashed out at Star for pressuring her into accepting the role of PM. "Who put you in charge?" Nene wanted to know. The fight quickly became personal.
"I know how you think. I know how you play the game." Nene taunted. "You’re playing with the right one, baby. You’re playing with this one."
"This is not the real housewives," Star countered.
"I will take you down. I will do you when the rest of these girls won’t," Nene threatened.
"Wow" was all The Donald had to say. And it didn’t end there as Nene threateningly walked over to Star.
"You talked a good game. Now bring your street game," Nene taunted. "Now where is Barbara Walters? You’d better bring your street game."
"That was a little unusual," said The Donald.
Nene wouldn’t relent. "Don’t you ever play me like that!" she screamed at Star. "Who do you think you are?"
"I don’t do threats," Star answered cooly.
"Yeah, but you can put them out."
"Will you please explain what you’re talking about?" Star pleaded. "Women talk to each other, Nene."
"Shut the f--- up. Park a—bitch," Nene screeched.
Okay then. How would you like that as your celebrity apprentice? For once, I think The Donald was at a loss for words.
Not much happened after Nene’s tirade. The men were feeling fairly confident and managed to persuade Niki Taylor, an ousted women’s team member, to act as one of their models. Back on the women’s team, morale sank very low. Nene tried to lead the team as if nothing had happened, but the women weren’t buying it. At one point, Hope admitted her head wasn’t in the game because she didn’t respect Nene. Privately, she called her an "evil woman."
