Omarosa
Omarosa Manigault Newman is an American television personality who gained fame as a contestant on the first season of *The Apprentice* (2004), where her combative style made her a memorable villain.
She later served briefly in the Trump White House before a public falling-out.
Her name has become shorthand for someone who creates drama or conflict in professional settings, or who turns on former allies: She pulled an Omarosa and wrote a tell-all about the company.
