Former 'Apprentice' star Omarosa is ending her time at the White House with a dose of drama.

Omarosa Manigault-Newman, one of President Donald Trump's most prominent African-American supporters, was escorted off the White House grounds after resigning her post as a presidential adviser.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday that Manigault Newman's resignation is effective January 20, one year after Trump's inauguration. Sanders said: "We wish her the best in future endeavours."

The president also bid her farewell, tweeting: "Thank you Omarosa for your service! I wish you continued success."

Manigault-Newman was an assistant to the president and director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, working on outreach to various constituency groups.
