Trump administration aide Omarosa Manigault reportedly had to be escorted out of the White House by Secret Service officers after she was fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly.
American Urban Radio Networks' White House correspondent April Ryan told the story about the aide's firing on CNN.
Manigault was fired by Kelly for multiple reasons, including too much "drama," with Trump's approval, according to Ryan. After being notified of the decision, Manigault demanded to speak with Trump directly.
When told she could stay until Jan. 20, she became enraged and began cursing. Manigault also reportedly tried to enter the White House residence in order to speak with the president.
Manigault was a participant on "The Apprentice" where she first met Trump, and has remained loyal to him since.
.@AprilDRyan reports Omarosa is leaving the White House because General Kelly "was tired of all the drama." She "was very vulgar, she was cursing" when he let her know and tried to go see Trump in his residence, but was escorted out by Secret Service https://t.co/tXu1J9HEOw

The Secret Service later tweeted that reports that agents had to escort her off the premises were false.
Reporting regarding Secret Service personnel physically removing Omarosa Manigault Newman from the @WhiteHouse complex is incorrect.

The Secret Service was not involved in the termination process of Ms Manigault Newman or the escort off of the complex. Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex.
