Donald Trump Twitter Defends Bill Cosby Comments, Keshia Knight Pulliam During ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Season 14 Premiere [SPOILERS]

If you managed to stick it out through the entire two-hour premiere of Season 14 of NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice last night, then you undoubtedly know that project manager Keshia Knight Pulliam found herself in the boardroom, mainly because her team lost and she refused to call noted comedian Bill Cosby for some serious money in order to win her task. Well, during her grilling-session, in which Trump and his cronies questioned her, demanding to know why she didn't phone the former Cosby Show lead, Pulliam (who played Rudy Huxtable on the show) claimed she hadn't spoken to the man in years – therefore, just didn't. Naturally, the conversation left many to wonder why the two were discussing Cosby during the premiere ... especially with the whirlwind of rape allegations being pinned on the comedian. Now, Trump is taking to his Twitter account to explain (and defend) the situation.

Surprisingly, the gross majority of viewers were unaware that the series was taped well before the allegations against Cosby came about. Something the billionaire gladly cleared up via a tweet ... but he still thinks the actress should have asked the former Cliff Huxtable for money.

Naturally, the conversation was certainly timed terribly, as Deadline points out. The publication claims many media outlets label the choice to keep the unedited version in "baffling." But really, now we're all talking about the Celebrity Apprentice, aren't we? Perhaps NBC and Trump aren't so dumb ... on this decision, that is.

GET READY FOR SOME SPOILERS...

As anyone who watched the show is aware, Pulliam was fired from the premiere after having offered to be the first project manager of Season 14 alongside Geraldo Rivera. Tune into NBC tonight at 8 p.m. for yet another episode of The Celebrity Apprentice. Yes, really.
