Omarosa Manigault-Newman rose to fame as a contestant on "The Apprentice" before turning into a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.

However, the woman whom critics have accused of betraying Trump has been forced back into reality television due to crushing debt. 

Show offers the chance to win $1 million

That's according to the Daily Mail, which reported that Ms. Manigault-Newman will appear on the new Hulu program "Got To Get Out."

Hulu's official website explains that the show's premise involves 20 individuals who are put in a house with an opportunity to win $1 million.

"Lies and lunacy collide in this exhilarating competition series where an outrageous mix of reality icons and crafty gamers must conspire to get out," it states.

"In this house, time is money. As the clock ticks, the prize money increases. The longer they stay, the greater their chance to earn more," the website notes.

It goes on to say that contestants "can split the money equally in the end or try to make their escape at any point in time with the accumulated money all for themselves, leaving others to start again at $0."

Manigault-Newman points to school debt

"This was an opportunity to win a lot of money, a life-changing amount of money," Manigault-Newman was quoted as telling the Daily Mail.

"So with the debt that I have from school, loans and all that, this is the kind of money that would be very, very helpful. This was tough, but it was a great experience," she said of the show.

"I think people know that you do what you have to do on the shows, yes, I push the limits, yes I scheme and backstab and do all that, but it's all entertaining and all for the fans," Manigault-Newman acknowledged.

"It's all for the fans, and I know that they're going to love the game play of Got To Get Out," the former Trump supporter went on to add.

Trump says Manigault-Newman "was late all the time" in the White House

The Daily Mail recalled how Manigault-Newman briefly served in Trump's first administration, something he spoke with Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh about.

"I saw her very little in the White House," Trump was quoted as saying in Setoodeth's 2024 book "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass."

The president insisted that "the people hated her in Washington," adding, "Her personality - she was late all the time. She wouldn't show up."
