Dionne Warwick Fired From Celebrity Apprentice: Calls NeNe Leakes a Coward
It was a really close task on tonight’s Celebrity Apprentice. I actually though the women had a really good chance at winning tonight. But, the men won again.
NeNe Leakes was the project manager for the women’s team on tonight’s Celebrity Apprentice. They put together an emotional video to promote ACN’s video phone. Dionne Warwick didn’t do much to contribute to the effort.
Plus, when they were editing the video, Dionne Warwick decided that it was time for her to go to bed. While she wouldn’t have done much to help anyway, she could have stayed there to support her team.
When the women’s team lost, her going to bed early was brought up. But, Latoya Jackson didn’t do much in the challenge, either. But, when Dionne Warwick agreed that she should be the one fired, that saved Latoya. Once you volunteer yourself to be fired, Donald Trump doesn’t usually argue with you.
After Dionne Warwick was fired, she called NeNe Leakes a coward, saying that NeNe hadn’t made her stay in the editing room to help, that NeNe let her go to bed.
Do you think Dionne Warwick deserved to be fired on the Celebrity Apprentice?

Grand galop commented on Mar 28 11 at 12:38 amI always liked Dionne warwick. Until last week. And this week topped the cake. In my mind, this is inexcusable behavior. Not only wasn’t she a team player but she constantly undermined her team spirit. Glad she was shown the “way to San Jose”.
Marie commented on Mar 28 11 at 1:03 amNo, I think Nene should have asked Dionne to stay. I think Latoya should have gotten fired.
eymwoman commented on Mar 28 11 at 1:07 amI will never buy or listen to Dionne Warwick again! What a primadonna. She should have been voted off the first time they lost. She is an insulting, condescending B. I was very disappointed to find out what she is really like. Thank goodness she’s off.

John commented on Mar 28 11 at 3:33 amYes! If you watched the part in the editing room you’ll see that Dionne NEVER asked to leave, she just left. She didn’t put up a fight to stay in the board room, and argues with everybody, she thinks she is better than everybody else, and also displays a cocky attitude towards others.
She is just a grumpy old lady. See ya!
Fred commented on Mar 28 11 at 4:10 amAs a project manager, you should always set the expectation that you want to see from everyone. If there is no expectation set, then the team will run over you. I know from experience and years of managing that if an employee does something outside of unwritten policy, then it is assumed that you agree with it.
Nene assumed that Dionne knew she should have stayed, but it was horrible on Nene’s management because she respected Dionne’s celebrity too much. This is understood. Dionne should apologize to Nene because she took advantage of the respect that Nene gave her. Dionne knew better as a much more mature woman and celebrity that Nene gave her more rope than the others. Nene is surrounded by legends. That has to be tough because she’s just a housewife star.
Sharon commented on Mar 28 11 at 1:48 pmWOW… She should have gotten fired in the beginning,With all her insults and meanness .I used to like her ,until this show,she sure showed her true colors,NASTY NASTY woman….Im sure she has lost a lot of respect from many people.I know she sure has lost it with me…..SHAME ON HER!!
eyeinthesky commented on Mar 28 11 at 2:26 pmthe problem with the women’s team is 4 ladies.. starr, warwick, nene and latoya.. they’re just not loyal or supportive of anyone but themselves.. you can’t have a winning team with them on board
JC commented on Mar 28 11 at 3:33 pmLeave Dionne alone!!! She is a woman in her 70′s and she needed her rest!!
Ms. Taylor commented on Mar 28 11 at 3:53 pmI think Donald Trump was right when alluded to the fact that Dionne has a chip on her shoulder. Who leaves and goes to bed when their team is in the middle of a project? What if the team had decided to delete Dionne’s scene, would that have faired well with her? Uh, I don’t think so. I didn’t know Dionne could be so “icy.” And, she did not “ask” to leave, she told Ne-Ne that she was going to leave. NeNe asked her, “Oh, you’re leaving?” To which Dionne responded, “Yes.” Then everyone said goodnight to her. In the outtake, Dionne clearly stated that she should be able to leave because she is the matriarch of the group, which, to say the least, didn’t give her the right to abandon her team. Anyhoo, I’m glad Dionne’s gone. Oh, one more thing. I also did not like the way that Dionne snapped up Marli Matlin when she was questioning her about the placement of the props. Seems like everyone walked on eggshells when dealing with Dionne. I agree that Dionne should apologize to NeNe because she absolutely did take advantage o the respect that she gave her…and then to call her a coward??? Tacky. I’m glad NeNe handled it so graciously. Glad to see Dionne? LaToya’s next if she doesn’t step up her game!

Brent V. commented on Apr 05 11 at 6:33 amThe coward comment aside, I thought Dion showed her true self when they did the Childrens Book. It was for charity and it was a group effort for her to insist that her name be on it was just over the top.
I feel sorry for her in a way as she apparently is miserable and unhappy. I hope she sees what the rest of the world saw on this show and does something about it. It would be a shame to piss away a lifetime of work because of the bitterness in her later years.
Brian G. commented on May 12 11 at 12:37 amShe knew she was going to get fired… her Psychic Friends Network told her!! LOL!!!
