During her stay on the reality program, where contestants vie for a "dream job" of running one of Donald Trump’s businesses for a year, Manigault-Stallworth, often grated against her fellow contestants. Soon after she was booted from the show, she made an allegation on a talk show that a fellow contestant called her the “n” word. Although she didn’t name contestant, Ereka Vetrini, at that time, she later pointed the finger at her during an interview on "Inside Edition."

Vetrini and the executive producers of the show, Mark Burnett and Donald Trump, denied that the “n” word incident took place. Many pointed out that due to the nature of the reality show, if such an exchange took place then it would have been caught on tape. Producers say they could not find filmed evidence that such an exchange occured. 

After those denials, Manigault-Stallworth told the Associated Press, “Both of those gentlemen weren’t there, so I find it ironic that they would be so emphatic that something did not happen.”

Vetrini denied the accusations during an interview on MSNBC’s "Lester Holt Live". She told Holt, “The ‘n’ word was never uttered on the show, it doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. None of the other contestants said that either.”

In an early episode of the program Vetrini had a heated exchange with Manigault-Stallworth where she used the metaphor “pot calling the kettle black”, Manigault-Stallworth immediately took that as a racist comment. 

Manigault-Stallworth mentioned that exchange during an interview on ABC’s “The View” but said that the “n” word was used against her as well.  

Manigault-Stallworth is reportedly negotiating a book deal and her own talk show.
