Aubrey O'Day Can't Respect Arsenio Hall After Calling Her 'Slut' On 'Celebrity Apprentice'
by Sean ComerAs far as Aubrey O'Day is concerned, Arsenio Hall has found the line and crossed it after some "Celebrity Apprentice" harshness between the two.
The former Danity Kane singer and Playboy cover girl told Celebuzz, according to a recent Us Weekly article, that she's seen her respect for the comedian and former "Arsenio Hall Show" host diminish after he "crossed boundaries" by calling her a "slut" during a recent episode.
O'Day, 28, didn't mind also pointing that Hall's remarks are inaccurate in her eyes, atop being crass. She points out that she didn't lose her virginity until she was a college senior, a tidbit to which she alluded in her interview accompanying her March 2009 Playboy pictorial.
"It was a really strong attack that came out of nowhere, kind of surprising," O'Day said. "It also had nothing to do with the competition. If you see for the most part, everybody takes jabs at each other, everyone has lost their cool, and everyone displays highs and lows through the competition and season of 'The Apprentice'. But I think that was a moment that . . . was wrapped up with other intentions that had nothing to do with the show.
"Regardless of whether I had been sexual early on or not, or how many partners I've had is degrading," O'Day continued. "No one really is evil, and no one really is slutty . . . they're just behaviors and names to degrade people."
O'Day added to Us that she still has no regrets about her time on Donald Trump's personal playground.
You can never regret anything you do in life," she said. "You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward."
It really only makes Hall, 56, come off looking both pathetic and old enough to know better.
By our 50s, we've all weathered our bumps in the road. We've done things we regret. We bear our scars. But most importantly, we should all be a little old for slut-shaming. Hall is very close friends with Earvin "Magic" Johnson, M.C. Hammer and Eddie Murphy. One wonders, if he considers O'Day a "slut," just how he regards his pals' more notorious behaviors.
Particularly Johnson's.
Still, it's not exactly surprising. When it's been so long since one has exactly been relevant that it seems a stretch fitting him under the "Celebrity" off-shoot of "The Apprentice", it shouldn't come as a shock that Hall would say something like that just to get himself noticed. Ask Michael Richards and Tracy Morgan about how well that pans out.
