Vivica A. Fox just spilled some tea about Ivanka Trump to Andy Cohen.
During an appearance on For Real: The Story of Reality TV, the actress recalled a racist comment Ivanka made during her time on Celebrity Apprentice.
“I’ll never forget that when I did Celebrity Apprentice, and Ivanka Trump, she said, ‘Wow, you speak very well’,” Fox, who appeared on the reality show in 2015, told Cohen.
She went on to explain that the comment was directed herself, Keisha Knight-Pulliam, and Kenya Moore. But she doesn’t think Ivanka meant to be racist.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I hate to say it, I don’t think she knew at the time that she was insulting us,” the actress said. “I really think that she thought she was complimenting us.”
“I don’t think she knows now,” Cohen replied.
“She was like, ‘Oh wow you guys are intelligent’,” Fox continued. “I’m going to say, when the show aired, Twitter went crazy, like, ‘What does she mean?'”
Of course, this is hardly the only time Ivanka has made a racial microaggression.
In August 2019, she tweeted about a horrific “inner city” playground massacre. What made the tweet especially weird is that the massacre was completely invented in her mind and never actually happened.
With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City- and little national outrage or media coverage- we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day.

Then, of course, there was her infamous Goya bean photo shoot from July 2020, in which she pandered to Latinos by holding up a can of black beans and tweeting in Spanish.
If it’s Goya, it has to be good.

Oh, and then there was the gossipy tell-all article written by her former BFF and published in Vanity Fair that alleged she once turned up her nose at a necklace that had Arabic writing, saying, “It just screams, ‘terrorist’.”
Ivanka has not responded to Fox’s comments.

As much as I like hearing bad things about Ivanka, I can’t stand AC. My dislike is so strong, that I wish Queerty hadn’t posted this story or had found another source.

The problem is, people like Vivica A Fox are too eager to jump in and excuse people.
Ivanka telling all of the black women that they speak well…….racist. Did she say it to the white women? Was she surprised that the white men could speak well? Does she say that to anybody else outside the Black people?
GaysForTrump
This is getting ridiculous.
First off, Ivanka did not only direct It to the black women on The Apprentice. And why don’t you quote what she actually said. Instead you misconstrue her words to fit your victim mentality.
Another day, another black person offended by someone criticizing them. Oh that’s right, it’s racists.
Now compliments are looked at as backhanded and racists.
How tiring. Yawn.
Cam
@GaysForTrump
What a shock, a Trump supporter doesn’t think racism is racist.
Also, if you’re going to lie, try not to lie about something right in the article. You claimed she didn’t only direct it to the Black women.
Except the quote from Fox is “She went on to explain that the comment was directed herself, Keisha Knight-Pulliam, and Kenya Moore. But she doesn’t think Ivanka meant to be racist.”
All three of them, who the comment was directed at, are black women.
But thanks for proving that your goal here is do anything you can to defend bigots and the Trump family, and you will make up any lie you can to do that.

@gaysfortrump is like jews for genocide.
GaysForTrump
Low life to equate Jewish and genocide over this article. You’re trash.
Cam
@GaysForTrump
Translation, you got called out, couldn’t defend any of the comments, so now are faking outrage to change the topic.
Look, we get it, you’re the same old troll here to attack LGBTQ people and defend racism hate and bigotry.
Your trolling is boring, sad and weak.

@GaysForTrump
Answer this: Why did Ivanka need to point out that Vivica A. Fox spoke so well?
GaysForTrump
Not everyone in the entertainment industry speaks so eloquently. Why does it offend you?
Obama is an amazing speaker. Does that make me racist for pointing that out? Or if I let him know that?
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Another day another queerty trump story…yawn
Cam
Another day, another right wing troll account comes in under multiple names to desperately try to deflect from Republican racism.
barryaksarben
gays for trump laughably without even knowing how ridiculous his comment is about some in the entertainment industry not being able to speak well. ONE NAME DONALD TRUMP . Like coveffe and hamburder, and his mispronunciations that were a daily event. I had to laugh today at him saying the Kentucky derby winner was a junky. It is junkie IDIOT. anyone here trying to defend that orange piece of shit is beyond ignorant and self hating. But hey since your lives must be so empty and you have no one in your lives to teach you the meaning of decency we will continue to see your sick asses here . But you are good for a laugh like that coveffe junky Trump
GaysForTrump
Orange Man bad…
Did he hurt your feelings?
Let’s not even get started on the Biden gaffes. But you’re too arrogant to see those.
Cam
@GaysforTrump
So you compare Trump stating he would appoint judges to harm LGBTQ people and reinstituted bigoted policies to “Feelings being hurt”.
We get it, again, you’re the same boring old right wing troll, desperate to attack LGBTQ people and support hate.
One other thing, LOVED it when the group Gays for Trump held their big national event and less than 12 people showed up. LOL!!!!
Liquid Silver
So we like Vivica and Andy today? I see.
Cam
This post was about Ivanka’s racism.
GaysForTrump
Cam, there were at least 3 occurrences of black people assaulting Asian Americans JUST this weekend alone.
There’s bigger problems than this non story over Ivanka’s presumed racists remakes from 5 years ago.
Liquid Silver
Really, Cam, and this is the account you’re using today? I see. Now go away.
Cam
@Liquid Silver
LOL!!!!! I never knew that this account was one of your other troll accounts and you just blew it!
Liquid Silver
Really, Cam. This is one of your MULTIPLE troll accounts. You wish you could blow it.
Get lost.
Cam
@Liquid Silver
LOL!!!!!! And when exposed as a troll account, the troll responds with the BRILLIANT “I know you are but what am I?” defense.
Wow, Putin is REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel with you.
rickywintour
At least they’re liked. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about you with your horrible personality.
LumpyPillows
I can’t stand the microaggression nonsense; it’s so college psychology 101. Reminds me of when some freshman punk would smugly accuse people of being passive aggressive back in the day (honestly, I was actually just being in their face aggressive) but I digress. Ivanka, like daddy, is first and foremost a narcissist. Their secondary shared traits are they are both stupid and lazy. They hold all other people beneath them. So, are they racist? Indirectly, they despise anyone who isn’t feeding their narcissism. Was this a big deal? Not really. Why are we talking about it, because she is a horrible person and we can, I guess.
cuteguy
The only Fox Ivanka responds to nowadays (if anyone) is Fox News.
