Omarosa Manigault-Newman opened up about her time in the White House, tearing up on a reality television show while explaining the situation is “so bad,” according to a new clip out Thursday.

Ms. Manigault-Newman tells a fellow cast member that she was “haunted” by what kind of tweets President Trump would post in the early morning hours, adding that she tried to stop it, but was denied. 

In the clip, posted on the Twitter page for “Celebrity Big Brother,” she breaks down into tears while describing the goings on inside the West Wing. She said she thought she could be “that person” who would stop Mr. Trump from tweeting, but said she was kept away from the president.

“It was like, ’Keep her away from him, don’t get her access, don’t let her talk to him,’ ” she said, specifically mentioning Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner.

Ms. Manigault-Newman served as director of communications in the Office of Public Liaison. She officially resigned from the post last month. She also starred in the first season of Mr. Trump’s former NBC reality show “The Apprentice.”
