Richard Hatch, winner of the debut season of \u201cSurvivor<\/a>,\u201d stressed why he\u2019s not so fond of Donald Trump<\/a> and his \u201c100% self-dealing\u201d ways after his time competing on \u201cThe Celebrity Apprentice<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hatch, who took part in the fourth season of the Trump-hosted show, told Tim Murphy\u2019s The Caftan Chronicles<\/a> that he spent \u201ca lot of time\u201d with Trump, and knew Trump for three years before joining the NBC reality competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is probably the worst human being I\u2019ve ever met in my life,\u201d said Hatch, who once accused Trump of making \u201csexual comments\u201d<\/a> to \u201call of the women\u201d competitors \u2014 and in front of his daughter Ivanka Trump<\/a> \u2014 during the 2011 season. (Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign called Hatch\u2019s accusation \u201ccompletely false\u201d at the time.)<\/p>\n

Hatch, when asked what Trump was like \u201cone-on-one,\u201d described him as \u201cgrotesquely manipulative.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about what he can get out of any situation,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would stare at him and watch him use the room to his desperate need for attention, and how he would play people, talk to this one person and then turn around and tear them down to the next person. He\u2019s really awful.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2006, he was sentenced to 51 months in prison after he failed, in part, to report his winnings from the show. He later appeared on “The Celebrity Apprentice.”<\/p>\n

Trump has faced a number of allegations regarding his behavior on the NBC program and its predecessor, \u201cThe Apprentice<\/a>,\u201d over the years. He has also been accused of using the N-word<\/a> on camera to refer to \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d runner-up from its 2004 season, Kwame Jackson.<\/p>\n

Jackson told CNN\u2019s Abby Phillip<\/a> in 2024 that the president never used the N-word to his face but didn\u2019t question the possibility that he may have said it, noting he\u2019s \u201cnever known Mr. Trump to be comfortable around Black people.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Trump responded to allegations that the president used the racist slur, calling it a \u201ccompletely fabricated and bullshit story\u201d in a 2024 statement.<\/p>\n

Former crew members on \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d also charged the president<\/a> with openly remarking on women\u2019s bodies and their breast sizes. <\/p>\n

The president once claimed in his 2004 book \u201cHow to Get Rich\u201d that all the women on the show flirted with him \u201cconsciously or unconsciously.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s to be expected. A sexual dynamic is always present between people, unless you are asexual,\u201d he wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

NBC fired Trump<\/a> in 2015 over his anti-immigrant rhetoric on the campaign trail. The network, which took a shot at replacing the president with ex-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as host of \u201cThe New Celebrity Apprentice\u201d in 2017, effectively pulled the plug on all iterations of the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richard Hatch, winner of the debut season of \u201cSurvivor,\u201d stressed why he\u2019s not so fond of Donald Trump…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,1376,75,49335,45976,59128,206140,348],"class_list":["post-523172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-richard-hatch","tag-survivor","tag-the-apprentice","tag-the-celebrity-apprentice","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
