NBC Cuts Ties With Donald Trump Over Immigration Remarks
Posted in: Uncategorized
NBC is parting ways with Donald Trump, washing its hands of the bilious real estate mogul following his recent spate of racist and ill-informed remarks about Mexican immigrants.
The network on Monday said it is dumping Mr. Trump from the cast of its hit competition series “Celebrity Apprentice,” which is set to go into production on its eighth season this fall. NBC also will no longer air the upcoming Miss USA pageant, which takes place on July 12, nor will it broadcast next year’s Miss Universe event.
In a statement issued today, NBC noted that because “respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values,” it is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump. NBC specifically cited Mr. Trump’s recent “derogatory statementsregarding immigrants” in its decision to give the volatile host his walking papers.
