Omarosa has been catching flack left, right, and center for her highly prominent role in President Donald Trump‘s administration.

Such was the case during her recent visit to The View.

The former ‘Apprentice’ contestant fired from all cylinders when tackled by the ladies on the show. She sunk her claws especially deep into anchor Joy Behar.

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to honour the work of artists responsible for some of Pop culture’s brightest moments.

Today, as her role of villain on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ keeps her name hot on the lips of a new generation of TV lovers, we honour Kenya Moore‘s contributions to music, fashion and film and the often overlooked career she enjoyed before becoming a “Housewife.”

Born on January 24th 1971, Moore rose to stardom aged 22 when she became the winner of Miss USA in 1993.

Take that journey to the past with us via clips pulled from her projects below…

And with the finale set to air this Sunday, a preview teaser has sent some fans into a fit of fury.

Frank Ocean commentary, like sightings of the singer, is a rarity.

However, the reclusive crooner was moved to muse publicly on the inauguration of the new US president – Donald Trump.

Like millions across the United States, and indeed the world at large, Ocean seems downtrodden by the reality of Trump’s election. He’s also none-too-impressed with the efforts to smooth over the undeniable cracks of division in America.

His words await in full below…
