Will Omarosa Fight Her 'Black Woman Civil War' As an Army of One?

Is a "Bye Felicia" gone viral the first shot fired in a "black woman civil war?" According to recently ousted White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman it is. But given her unpopularity among women of color in the media, will she be fighting this "war" alone?

The dis heard 'round the world was fired Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America" by long time anchor Robin Roberts who snarked at Omarosa's first exclusive interview, in which she denied being escorted out of the White House despite reports.

Dropping hints of an "I'm gonna tell bomb" during the interview with "GMA" co-anchor Michael Strahan, Omarosa claimed to have resigned after seeing things in the Trump administration that made her "very uncomfortable."

"When I have a chance to tell my story, Michael, I have quite a story to tell," she told him.

All of this proved too much for Roberts who didn't bother masking her contempt for the former reality show contestant.

"She says she has a story to tell and I'm sure she will be selling that story. Yeah. Bye, Felicia," Roberts said.

Never one to miss a chance at perpetuating drama, Omarosa texted scandal show "Inside Edition, with a retort to Roberts.

"That was petty," she texted. "It's a black woman civil war."

If Omarosa believes her text, she'll have a lot of trouble finding other black women to fight on her side, given her history of contention with women of color in the media.

Following her ouster on Wednesday, Omarosa got an hilarious send-off during a segment with three prominent African American women media figures on CNN. "Bye Girl, Bye!" said commentator Angela Rye, who erupted in laughter "Bye, honey! You haven't done anything for the community, you are skin folk, we don't own you like Zora... goodbye, good riddance!"

While Rye's two co-panelists journalist April Ryan and activist Symone Sanders attempted to take the high road, Sanders added that she thought few people were "necessarily sad to see Omarosa go today."

Those sentiments were echoed Thursday on "The View" when Whoopi Goldberg who said: "I hope you find something to do, O. I do, I do. And I hope that you find your people, because maybe they're looking for you. She's just been so nasty to so many women, and so many women of color. So many women of color. And I just, you know, never mind."

Goldberg's co-host Sunny Hostin, who is African American and Latina, said of Omarosa: "I think she's a pariah because she's always sort of been a villain, and I think her job as director of outreach in the African-American community was almost a slap in the face to the African-American community."
