Huge Apprentice feud revealed as Lord Sugar is forced to block contestant on Twitter after vicious attack on show
LORD Alan Sugar has sparked a massive feud with a former Apprentice candidate after blocking her on Twitter.
The businessman took action after Amy Anzel launched an attack on the BBC show.
Posting a screenshot showing she’d been blocked by her former boss, Amy wrote: “AWKWARD… Lord Sugar I always knew you didn’t like me and couldn’t WAIT to fire me last year!
“It’s time to turn your firing finger upon yourself because this series has been horrendous & verging on bullying the candidates! It’s time for your retirement x.”
Amy had recently ranted about The Apprentice with a number of digs about this year’s series.
“Everyone is being made to look a fool,” she told the Daily Star.
“The show is now about who loses less. Who could eff up the least. And that’s not what this show should be about.”
Amy – who was the oldest ever candidate to take part in the show – was fired in week six.
The US cosmetics entrepreneur lashed out at her firing as “completely unfair and unjustified”.
“There was ageism and also anti-Americanism,” insists Amy.
“Lord Sugar would often bring up Donald Trump to me and I’d say I’m nothing like Trump and we all know he and Trump hate each other.
“I do think that has a lot to do with it. We’ve heard him say before ‘I love acorns not oak trees and I think he sees me as more of an oak tree because my business is four years old or whether it comes down to me being 48.
“He just has no interest in working with someone that is ‘that old’. I couldn’t think of any other reason why. Honestly, it was so insulting.
“I had so much to show him. It was so unfair. I was a stand out character for six weeks, people knew who I was.
“I think the show is reverse-engineered. There is manipulation. There was a narrative written for me that felt very unfair.
“Why was I treated differently to everyone else? I don’t feel like I had the same fair chance as everyone else.”
