'Apprentice' feud heads to court: Omarosa suing 'demented' La Toya Jackson

Omarosa and La Toya Jackson faced off in the boardroom. Will they face off in a courtroom too?

A couple of low-blow lines from one star during a tense episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" could go far beyond the made-for-TV boardroom.
Former all-star contestant La Toya Jackson lashed out at her in-game adversary Omarosa, and blamed the returning "Apprentice" villain for the death of actor Michael Clarke Duncan, who was engaged to Omarosa at the time of his fatal heart attack in Sept. 2012.
Now Omarosa wants payback -- in court.
Howard Stern, who spoke to Omarosa on his show Tuesday morning, asked her if she was really threatening to sue Jackson.
"Not threatening," she assured. "I'm going to. She said really nasty things about Michael."
For instance?
"She said, 'He had a heart attack, and I know that she caused it,'" Omarosa recalled. "'He was on life support, and she went and pulled the plug.'"
Well close. As for the latter comment, what Jackson actually said was, '(Omarosa's) a no good, conniving, scheming, cutthroat -- probably pulled the cord on Michael Duncan Clarke (sic)."
Still, Omarosa's point stands, although Stern questioned whether or not it was really actionable.
"It is actionable, if she repeats it," Omarosa countered. "It's called a 'reckless disregard of the truth.' So she said it in October when she first taped the show. She repeated it, subsequently, on all of these talk shows."
One of the shows Jackson visited after her "Apprentice" ouster was TODAY, where she explained that she had "no clue" about any lawsuit from Omarosa. As for her comments about the late actor's death, she said "I didn't mean it that way at all -- not at all."
But when she later showed up on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," Jackson seemed to defend her comments.
"I think I must have said I wouldn't be surprised ... if she probably would (have removed Duncan from life support)," she hedged. "And that was a statement because everybody knows, that was working on the ('Apprentice') team, how she tried to sabotage everything."
So the suit is moving forward. When Stern asked specifically what Omarosa planned to sue for, she said the case was first and foremost about emotional distress.
"I mean, do you really want people to think that you harmed the person you love?" she responded.
That's when Stern asked the question that Jackson already attempted to answer.
"For the record, did you pull the plug on (him)?"
"God, no," Omarosa shot back. "I loved that man."
So she now plans to see her former "Celebrity Apprentice" teammate, who she called "sick and demented," in court.
"I gave her time to retract it, and now we'll both be spending money on lawyers," Omarosa promised.

Moi, did you just say "War Beavers"?!
I'm phoning ol' Steve Harper down the road and tellin' him the Yanks are on to us. You blew it now!
Not to worry, fellow Canucks. Us prairie-poops, we'll have a snowmobile cordon set up in no time with a two-four case wall for defence, while we send a young, virgin, farm-raised chocolatier in frontier-clothing to foil your plans. That Laura Secord gal sure can make a sweet, and has a habit of listening in to secret conversations :p
'Course, I could be making all this up as a distraction while the REAL War Beaver, Pamela Anderson, receives her embedded commands and annihilates all cummers (zing!) with her pull-start, razor-toothed, foul poison-squirting Beaver of Death.
And you thought all us Canuckleheads were overly-polite apologists

Blah blah blah, celebrity bullshit, blah blah blah.
Why the hell some people care so much about the personal dramas of a bunch of people they don't know, I'll never understand.

Re: real world events of great importance (yeah, right, sure!!!)
Lake Union in the middle of Downtown Seattle and the connected Ship Canal and Lake Washington has a large colony of urban beavers, w/ an extensive (what do you call the homes beavers make? Nests? Houses? dens?) under the I-520 Bridge. Almost every tree around the system is wrapped w/ chain link fencing or chicken wire to keep the beavers from cutting them down. Our houseboat dock was cut through the branches of a huge Weeping Willow on the shore. One of the residents stacked his firewood next to the tree, and one morning we woke to discover the beavers had climbed the firewood and chewed through a 12" diameter branch about 30 feet long and dropped it on the dock. Hell of a mess. Willow is apparently the beaver equivalent of candy and most nights you could see or hear them standing in the water, pulling down willow branches and chomping on them. One moonless night the dock light burned out and I was coming in at about 2:00 AM and literally tripped over a beaver standing on the dock. I ended up in the lake. The beaver was totally nonplussed, took a few more chomps and without haste plopped back into the water and swam off about 10 feet and went back to chomping on willow. They are also notorious for stealing construction 2x4s from nearby and floating them back to incorporate in their dens. Kayaking around their colony, its a patchwork of tree branches and stolen construction material. One guy on the dock had a float with a garden full of trees and flowers in pots. One evening he was swinging a boat oar wildly, trying to kill a beaver who had just eaten several hundred dollars of trees he had been growing for years.moi621 (imported) wrote: Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:00 pm Real world events of great importance (yeah, right, sure!!!)

I have a real beaver pelt, mounted on a willow frame. It was given me long before I transitioned by one of the very few people who knew I was transsexual. She said it was so I could have my very own "beaver."

I didn't know that about the Beaver War.
Does it have anything to do with Beaver Falls or Beaver PA where some of my friends live?
