Report: Omarsoa Is Struggling To Land A Book Deal

Who would buy this book? https://newsone.com/3766720/omarsoa-book-deal-white-house/

The millisecond Omarosa Manigault Newman got the boot from the White House (yeah, we know — she claims she “resigned”), the reality star has been teasing that she has a story to tell. Reportedly, she is ready to dish on Donald, Melania and Ivanka — and, allegedly, Omarosa could be Trump “worst nightmare.” That said, Omarosa’s dreams of an epic book deal do not appear to be as easy as she thought.

According to RadarOnline.com, the reality star is having serious trouble landing a publisher because she wants too much cash. A source said, “She certainly has a story to tell, but it isn’t worth the amount of money that she wants. It is also unclear if she would be willing to exploit her 14-year friendship with Mr. Trump in order to make the deal happen.” Reports claimed Omarosa could get up to a ten-million dollar deal, which sounds ridiculous. Hillary Clinton reportedly landed a 14-million dollar book deal for 2014’s Hard Choices — Omarosa deserves nothing close to that amount. For all we know, Omarosa could be leaking the ten-million number to the press to make publishers interested. Also, do we really need a full book from Omarosa on her one-year working at the White House? She could tell her “story” on a ten-minute interview with Good Morning America. As Robin Roberts said, “Bye, Felicia!”

RadarOnline.com also reports that “she has already been talking with TV executives including the producers of the Real Housewives franchise.” Yep, go back to your roots, sis.

2. Her sycophantic plan for the book, while knifing all around Trump, is NOT going to work

Frankly, I fail to understand why ANYONE would believe ANYTHING she says.

6. My bet is she is demanding a king's royalty upfront.

Publishers prefer to pay smaller royalties to unknowns or those that are known, but are unpopular.

Her book would be like all the movies that copied Gone With the Wind in the early '40s.

9. True. She also seems to be quite difficult to deal with

I know. I know. People will deal with anyone of there's some money in it. The text posted above includes one important part, would she be willing to trash the 14 year relationship with Trump for one book deal? She could take the upfront cash and deliver next to nothing or even a glowing counter effort to Wolff (not that she's really on equal footing to begin with). She said everyone would "Bow" to Trump and now she turns for one pay out?

She is on her way out of the limelight. I'm sure she would love to get paid.

12. Who the hell wants to watch Omarosa on the teevee machine? Hopefully, she'll just quietly vanish....
