Tom Arnold told Mark Burnett that Ronan Farrow has copies of Trump's N-word Apprentice tapes

Tom Arnold, who accused Mark Burnett of attacking him at a pre-Emmys party Sunday night, filed a police report Monday against the producer, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed.

Arnold, the outspoken host of upcoming Viceland series “The Hunt For The Trump Tapes,” tweeted on Sunday that Burnett, chairman of MGM Worldwide Television, “just went apes–t & choked me at this huge Emmy party.” Both were attending the Evening Before The Emmys event in Century City where an incident occurred.



Arnold was heard effusively describing Sunday’s encounter and telling a group of people that tapes of Donald Trump from “The Apprentice” had just been “handed over” to Ronan Farrow. He has been vocal in goading “The Apprentice” creator Burnett, claiming the latter has an embarrassing tape of Trump from the series. “I’m going to keep hammering Burnett until he shows” those tapes, Arnold told TCA in July.

3. I'd be more surprised if someone could convince me he HAD NOT used the word. It is obvious

He has a long history of ugly racism, misogyny, bigotry.

It's not like people actually needed to hear it to believe it. It's not like the people who voted for him aren't racists and white supremacists that probably use the word regularly themselves.

No one is going to be surprised at all. It really isn't even all that newsworthy.

5. For some reason I thought these tapes had something more than just him using the "N" word.

We already know he is a racist due to his policies and rhetoric, rental history, etc.. If that is all he is caught saying, his base and most Repubs will just ignore it. I hope there is more than that. I do like the fact that any negative publicity drives him nuts, but I just don't think many will abandon him as long as they get tax cuts, deregulations and SCOTUS appointments.
