Supposedly, “Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett is sitting on all the tapes and demanding $5 million from any employee who leaks them, according to former producer Chris Nee.
But Burnett is denying that’s the case in a statement that he and MGM, the current owner of the show, released to CNN’s Brian Stelter Monday evening.
Burnett said he does not have the ability or the right to release footage or audio related to the show. MGM is also restricted by contractual and legal requirements from releasing that material.
However, Burnett said he has not threatened legal action to anyone who may leak such material.
Burnett also pointed out in the statement that he has consistently supported Democrat campaigns.
Burnett has not officially endorsed Trump, but the fact that he has not endorsed Clinton either has been seen by some as tacit approval of Trump.
Whether or not “Apprentice” recordings are released in the coming days remains to be seen, but The Huffington Post did uncover a 2010 transcript from an unaired moment of the show that reveals The Donald boorishly declaring himself to be “a skin man.”
