“I am deeply saddened by Claudia Jordan’s actions at the BET Awards," Omarosa told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive statement.
"After all that my family has been through this year she should show at least an ounce of decency and respect.
"I am not surprised with all of Claudia’s financial problems -- her bankruptcy -- that she is looking for an opportunity for a pay day.”
