Trump Explains Kardashian Firing, Tough Stance On DUI

Is Donald Trump a hypocrite? Or a beacon of tough love?

In the latest episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, the Trumpster fired Khloe Kardashian upon learning of her DUI, telling her that if he had known prior about her arrest he would not have had her on the show in the first place.

But, hey, that seems a little contradictory considering how the Trump let Miss USA Tara Connor keep her crown after her problems with booze were exposed!

In his blog, the Don defends himself saying that Tara "had just entered celebrity, which was a new arena for her, and these contestants have already had professional success as well as celebrity."

We're not really sure what planet his logic comes from, but if that's what he feels he's gotta do to "protect people from themselves," then alright.

Although, to be honest, that sort of logic sounds like it comes out of a bottle!

    2. 2

      it wasn't b/c of the DUI - it was b/c she is WAY too fat to be on TV.



    3. 3

      Sadly, I'm addicted to that show..



    4. 4

      What about all of Dennis Rodman's antics in the past? Hadn't he heard about them?



    5. 5

      yet he considers Dennis Rodman a beacon of soberiety?



    6. 6

      Oh come on! Not everything this guy says or thinks is right! If that was the case, he wouldn't be having all the problems he is facing now! He is in denial about a lot and has the arrogance to believe all the time that his stance is right!



    7. 7

    9. 9

      I really dislike Donald Trump.



    10. 10

      He kicked her out for being the "fat" Kardashian….we all know the DONALD is a pig….. Remember all he could say about Rosie was that she was fat..that's the best he could do. Go get some hair implants DONALD



    11. 11

      PEREZ IS UPSET BECAUSE THE DON'S DICK IS NOT HARD!!!!



    12. 12

      That is total BULLSHIT. Why the hell did he love Rodman so much then. The man was drinking the whole tiime. And he knew it too.
      I HATE trump such a asshole.
      What he did was so he didnt have to fire his friends. The show is rigged.



    13. 13

      Weak!!! Unkind attack, these people are doing T(f)rumpy a favor sharing their celebrity. Poor, unclever end to an episode of the same caliber.



    14. 14

      Ivankacomalot………



    19. 19

      He didn't know? He should get one of those "internets" all the kids are talking about.

      No excuse for sloppy research, Don. YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    20. 20

      I can't stand him. I hope he goes broke again. He should have fired clint black. Plus tara was doing coke and on his property.



    21. 21

      Khole… You were fired for the wrong reason.. and if you read this I want you to know that we all make mistakes it does not DEFINE us like Don"douche"ald was doing with you! Keep your head up your Beautiful and Brilliant! Best Wishes



    22. 22

      The only criterion Trump uses to determine who will stay: Will they help ratings? Everything else is just bullshit.



    23. 23

      Lost all respect for him because of that and I don't even like her. Midas is an ass.

      DONALD DUMP - BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



    25. 25

      Love the limp dick pic too!!! AWESOME!!!!!



    26. 26

      It was because she was a strong woman, he can't handle that. He is a jerk that treats women shitty



    27. 27

      Perez your such an idiot. Her just drinking, yeah fine. The problem was that she got behind the wheel of a car and was drunk. Big difference. Stop twisting things



    28. 28

      You know if you actually watched the show it doesnt matter she was fired. She didnt do anything on that show anyways.



    29. 29

      I'm so glad Trump feels that he should protect people from themselves…how about protecting women from the abusers he has on the show? Actor Vincent Pastore was a participant in the first celebrity apprentice and a guest on the second one . Mr. Pastore plead guilty in April 2005 after punching his girlfriend in the head, grabbing her hair and throwing her out from his car. … Rodman has also been charged with assaulting a woman. I do not condone drunk driving but why was the Kardashian girl fired for her past mistake and the men allowed to participate until they were fired for performance issues.
      Are the celebritys informed before the show that they may be fired and humiliated for things they did before taking part in the show? If it is all that important to Mr. Trump to have only guests of high moral and ethical fiber to be a part of the show, why aren't they subject to criminal record searches? Its not hard to find criminal records of celebritys..i did it in minutes.



    30. 30

      Whoa! Mario, didn't you, just the other day, put the 'coke' dots under Trumps schnozz in a pic you had posted on a thread. Maybe The Donald is the Ultimate HYPOCRITE! LOL! It's the ones who 'blow' the most about sobriety, and the evils of drugs/alcohol, that have the worst problem with them.



    31. 31

      Does anyone think that Tara served up a little hare pie to the Trumpster whereas Khloe is more into coloreds like her sister, the one with the massive Afro-Azz?



    32. 32

      DUI bad
      Drugs ok

      Well I guess as long as the druggie is giving him a blow job he is ok with it.
      This thief has no credibility.
      Give back the people whose deposits you stole for your Mexico project.



    33. 33

      What an ass hole Pig Faced Boy is turning out to be . . . how come he kepted Rodman around, who was almost always drunk or whatever he was doing but for Kardishian who was never drunk while doing this program he gets on his high horse and fires her . . . ? ? ?
      What a shmuck he is, if he had no money he would be one lonely SOB



    34. 34

      It's very simple. Khloe didn't do her community service as part of her 'bargain' with the court. She KNEW that she would only end up spending an hour in jail, and of COURSE the TV cameras would follow her and her family. DUI isn't what it used to be — people were ashamed that they brought a conviction to their family. Now… it's a way to the red carpet and news headline heaven. Especially for someone like Khloe who's always gonna be in the shadow of her other syster's butt. It's really a shame that using her father's death as an excuse to drink; but it goes further that she used her jailtime as a way to expand her so-called "15 minutes of fame" for her reality show.



    35. 35

      Trump is a piece of shit.



    36. 36

      trump doesn't drink? so he must have been high whe he asked perez to be a guest judge in celebrity apprentice, i mean, really, wtf?



    37. 37

      Psh! *rolleyes* Maybe the only difference is that he managed to bed the other chick but not Khloe??



    38. 38

      While a DUI is serious and I've read that his brother suffered and ultimately died from the effects of alcoholism, there was no need to humiliate Khloe on the show the way he did. Moreover, his moral superiority was really off-putting as he was an adulterer - having his mistress and later wife #2 confront his then wife publicly. And Dennis's antics were okay? The icing on the cake - the drunken antics of Tara Connor that he so staunchly defended. Come on. He really stepped in it this time.



    39. 39

      I think Trump regrets the decisions he made on Tara, and he's doing what he should have done with Tara with Khloe. Good on Trump. Khloe made a big mistake driving while drunk, and getting fired showed her what RL would have been like if she wasn't an effing D-list celebrity.



    40. 40

      Trump is a moron.



    41. 41

      since when is Khloe Kardashian considered a celebrity? Because shes sisters with a girl who released a sex tape? Jesus Christ.



    42. 42

      he always thinks he's right even though he never is…and he can't admit that he's contradicting himself. anyways, khloe shouldn't have been fired that was utter bs



    43. 43

      wow someone questioning 'the Donald's' integrity. His integrity is called GREED and FAME.



    44. 44

      Just another crappy "reality" show. Donald Trump is nauseating



    45. 45

      THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!!! HE IS A FUCKING LOSER!



    46. 46

      Re: shittin_condoms – #44 YOU DON'T THINK YOU BECOME A CELEBRITY BY BEING A GOOD ACTOR DO YOU?



    47. 47

      hypocrite



    48. 48

      yes dennis rodman has done far worse than khloe kardashian has ever done. He should have fired clint. everyone on the team said so. so now, he fires someone because of a pre-existing dui? he never even gave her a chance to explain about it, or redeem herself. but yet he gave dennis chance after chance to redeem himself. i just don't think he liked her, or wanted her to be on the show, and it was a cop out.



    49. 49

      Did tara conner get a DUI? If not, then I understand Trump's decision, although his statement made no sense. An alcohol problem is different than a DUI. Not all people who drink a lot get behind the wheel and drive endangering millions of lives like Khloe did.



    50. 50

      It was soooooo unfair… she was my favorite on the show… and she was the most famous contestant, after joan rivers and rodman!



    51. 51

      it was really not appropriate!!!



    52. 52

      Theres a huge difference between what Khloe did and what tara conner did. Tara was endagering her own life, but no one else. As soon as khloe went behind the wheel, she was putting someones life in danger. Anyone who had a family member killed by a drunk driver knows that it cant just be left off as, oh well it was just a mistake. She should have to live with the consequences far more than just get thrown in jail for 30 minutes. If it takes being embarassed then so be it. By the look of her show, i doubt she learned anything. Its about time that one of these celebrities get something said to them.



    53. 53

      Re: bitterfly – SHE DIDNT DO ANYTHING! watch the episodes and tell me what is the most she did except for sitting back and doing nothing. She let everyone else work against eachother and it was about time that she left. I dont care what the reason was, she was a waste on the show.



    54. 54

      Khloe, you should have offered Donald a blow job - just like Tara did. Didn't your mom teach you ANYTHING???



    55. 55

      It's funny that he seems so against drinking yet he has his own line of Vodka. I think he's a complete hypocritical looser!



    56. 56

      I think Trump fired them for ratings reasons–the Rivers have strong personalities and drama makes a better show, so that's why he kept them. Whereas even though T-boz is a Grammy award winning singer, she isn't very vocal otherwise, and her teams never used her talent for any of the tasks, which they should have. She sort of stays in the background. And Khloe does too. I applaud Perez for saying it like it is though, especially after he was on the show!



    57. 57

      Khloe Rocks! I was so angry when he fired her…Clint totally deserved to go. It looked like Donald was just trying to cover his ugly ass. I mean, how did he not know about her DUI when he cast her for the show??? He didn't even need to bring that up. She made a mistake, and has moved on but he proved to be classless and make an example of her.



    58. 58

      Team Trump, although I don't particularly like Mr. Trump.



    59. 59

      Maybe he was made because she wasn't drinking TRUMP vodka…



    60. 60

      I don't think Donald should've fired Khloe because of the DUI. That's a lame excuse. I thought this show was about business not about what he thinks is right and wrong. I will continue to watch Keeping up with the Kardashians at 10 pm. Khloe is just a young girl who made a mistake, get over it. We all make mistakes, nobody's perfect!!!!!

      61

      Really? How does the Donald feel about adultery? Ask Marla and Ivana. Pffft.



    62. 62

      You know who the REAL losers are? All of you that defend Khloe Kardashian. She didn't do SHIT to redeem herself after she got behind the wheel and drove drunk, which is something that is easily AVOIDED, especially when you have money. DUI is unexcusable. Donald Trump has never drank, smoked or done drugs in his life. He has no time for losers who get a DUI and do nothing about it but laugh, and neither do I. And people in their right mind would feel the exact same way. Perez, your readers are nothing but morons. Obviously, as this is how YOU became "famous". Trump did the right thing with Tara - she owned up to her mistakes and made right. Khloe didn't - she's just an ugly spoiled brat with shit for brains.



    63. 63

      DONALD "the Douche" TRUMP is a fucking idiot. I don't believe Khloe had been that famous or famous at all when she got her DUI, and what the fuck would it matter anyway?!!?!? Are famous people different from non-famous people?….NO!!!!
      Khloe is awesome, and NOT fat you fucking haters! Her sisters are midgets, Khloe is 5'9 you fucktards.



    64. 64

      That's phucked up ~ Letting that Tara bat get away with her mistakes and then being so hard on Khloe. :(



    65. 65

      I probably wouldnt even send a steak back if my waiter brought it to me raw…but for some reason I needed to find a place to comment about this episode. I shouldnt have been watching this show to start with..but officially DONE, due to total hypocrisy. Trump is a cheese dick. Anyone out there like Chloe who is owning up to their mistakes….dont let meaningless bozos like trump impact you.

      But he tolerated a drunken Dennis Rodman for four weeks.
