Celebrity Big Brother boss on Omarosa: She’s a “super fan,” but her casting doesn’t make it a political show

The Hollywood Reporter

"This is not a political show. . .this isn't becoming 60 Minutes,” says executive producer Allison Grodner. As for whether Omarosa will be able to discuss her former boss, President Trump, Grodner says “that is not a topic we can answer. That's only a topic Omarosa can answer. She knows what her restrictions are.” Grodner says Omarosa likely would not have been cast if she wasn’t a “super fan.” “The timing worked well,” she says. “The other part about her that we knew is that she is a Big Brother fan. We're not talking about her just being familiar with the show. She is a legitimate super fan who knows many details about all of the seasons.”
