Anthony Scaramucci: "I absolutely did not quit" Celebrity Big Brother

Entertainment Weekly

"The producers from day one pitched me the idea of becoming a twist in the show," the Mooch tells EW. "I have to confess to you that they turned me into a superfan, but I hadn’t really seen the show prior to them pitching me. And so my wife and I looked at it and I said, 'You know what? It looks like a lot of fun. It fits into my schedule.' I gotta tell you, these producers are world-class people, so I was like 'I’m gonna do it'... It was a straight-up, well-planned twist for the show, and I think it was probably one of the more bigger, historical twists where somebody that everyone thought was a houseguest slipped out in the middle of the day…and I had to get Joey Lawrence to pack my stuff to take it home with me."
