Reality TV star Omarosa Manigault Newman , who made a fiery exit from her job as President Donald Trump s White House aide in December, is spilling some political tea on CBS Celebrity Big Brother, telling a fellow cast member that she was haunted by tweets every single day and that the administration is bad.

In a preview for the episode airing Thursday night, Newman opened up to castmate Ross Mathews and told him she felt like it was a call of duty to work for Trump.

I felt like I was serving my country, not serving him, said Newman, who was one of Trumps most prominent African-American supporters.

Newman appeared with Trump on the reality show The Apprentice in 2004, and joined his administration when he became president as communications director for the Office of Public Liaison. In December, some reports said she was fired and forcibly removed from the White House grounds. The White House said she resigned to pursue other opportunities.

Big Brother (@CBSBigBrother) February 8, 2018

Newman, according to the Celebrity Big Brother preview, said she was rattled by Trumps posts on Twitter.

I was haunted by tweets every single day. Like, what is he going to tweet next? she said.

Newman also told Matthews that she tried to be that person who would talk sense into Trump and try to steer him from bad decisions. And then all of the people around him attacked me, she said. It was like, Keep her away, dont give her access, dont let her talk to him. Ivankas there, Jareds there ...

Matthews asked Newman who in the White House has the power to stand up to Trump.

I dont know, Newman said.

Im not there. Its not my its not my circus, not my monkeys. Id like to say its not my problem, but I cant say that because, like, its bad.

Later in the conversation, she said Americans have reason to be concerned.

No, its gonna not be OK, she said. Its not.

Watch the full conversation between Matthews and Newman in the preview clip from Celebrity Big Brother below.

The full episode airs Thursday at 8 p.m on CBS.
