A new book, ‘Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,’ has revealed that contestants on Donald Trump‘s old NBC reality show The Apprentice were subjected to STD testing.
WHAT THE BOOK REALLY SAYS
The book written by Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh alleges that Trump’s TV apprentices were tested many, many ways before being fired, and one test allegedly involved their genitals.
Though, Trump wasn’t the one concerned with contestants having s*x on set, it was Mark Burnett that was behind the STD testing.
VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT
Former contestant Bowie Hogg, an ‘Apprentice’ in the first season, claims the STD tests during his season included a funnel being inserted into his penis.
Hogg says in the books: ‘They turned it and scraped it and pulled it out. And it was the most painful thing I’ve experienced in my whole life.’
As for why Trump’s producer allegedly wanted contestants tested for STDs, Setoodeh claims Mark was covering his bases so he wouldn’t be held legally liable for ‘anything that was shared after the boardroom closed for the night.’
