Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall Have Chimed in on the Alleged Donald Trump Jr. Affair News
It’s only been a couple days since reports of Donald Trump Jr.’s alleged affair with Aubrey O’Day hit the news cycle, but some new sources have already come forward to add their own details to the story—and, because this is a story that originated on Celebrity Apprentice, they are people we haven’t heard from in a while. Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall, who both worked alongside O’Day on Celebrity Apprentice in 2012, are now tweeting their thoughts on the affair going public, to essentially say they knew about it before the rest of the world.
Hall tweeted out a link to an Us Weekly story reporting about the affair on Tuesday, writing, “The year @clayaiken . . . and I were on Celebrity Apprentice garnered great reality TV for NBC. But we both used to say that the GREATER show, was going on behind the scenes.”
Aiken attempted to post some cryptic tweets. On Monday, he posted a GIF of himself from a Celebrity Apprentice challenge when he worked with O’Day, telling the camera, “She popped right out of her mama’s chatch and started grinding on the stripper pole.” He tweeted, “I’m just gonna leave this here . . . ”
A Twitter user replied, “I was wondering if you knew about Aubrey chasing Don Jr. Question answered,” but Aiken made it clear: “My gut tells me the story got a tiny piece wrong. Maybe reverse those two names.”
Some of O’Day’s past music has resurfaced as well, including her 2013 song “DJT,” which appears to be about an affair she had with a man whose initials are . . . D.J.T. More recently, TMZ has dug up a previously unreleased music video from the singer, a cover of Gotye’s 2011 song “Somebody That I Used to Know,” that appears to also be about her relationship with Trump. In the video, O’Day is topless, save for a few painted words on her body including “cheater” and “liar.”
O’Day also adjusted some of the lyrics to the original song, making them a little more . . . pointed. She opened it with the line: “Now and then I think of when we were together—like when you told me that your marriage was a lie.”
