Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

Last season, Kwame and many of the other also-rans on 'The Apprentice' managed to parlay their firings by The Donald into job opportunities for themselves. This season, it isn't quite working out that way. Case in point. Jennifer Crisafulli, sent packing from the boardroom on Wednesday, apparently lost her real-life job on Thursday as a result of the allegedly anti-Semitic slur she uttered during the broadcast. Jennifer C. had been a Realtor with Prudential Douglas Elliman, a top Manhattan real estate firm. On Thursday, however, Elliman senior vice president Steven James told the Albany Times Union: ''We do not intend to have an individual in our organization who subscribes to this point of view.'' An NBC spokesperson told the paper it was the first time someone had lost their day job as a result of their behavior on the show.

During the episode, Jennifer C. had disparaged two customers whom she blamed for negative reviews of her team's restaurant. ''It was those two old, Jewish fat ladies,'' she told teammates. ''Really. They were like the pinnacle of the New York jaded old bags.'' On Thursday, Crisafulli told NBC's Today that she had followed those remarks by noting on-camera that she has Jewish relatives, but that bit of context was left out of the final edit of the episode. ''I feel terrible about this. I hope people don't think about me in the wrong way,'' she told the Times Union, adding that she was considering legal action. ''What do I do? Lawyers across America ... I need help -- pro bono.''

Faring better is Stacie Jones Upchurch, eliminated on last week's show, but who may now confront Donald Trump in a bit of karmic payback. According to the New York Daily News, Stacie J. has a new job as spokeswoman and adviser for Casino Fortune, a Trinidad-based online gambling firm that has made an unsolicited bid to bail out Trump's debt-burdened Atlantic City casinos by buying a one-third interest for $400 million. According to the paper, Trump's hotels could use the money, especially now that Credit Suisse First Boston has backed away from a $345 million bailout offer, but Trump told the Daily News he was not impressed with Casino Fortune or its new spokeswoman. ''It's just a publicity stunt they're playing,'' he said. Like that's a bad thing.

As far as I know I don't think there was any way she would have known - that's kinda why it was such a stupid thing to say!

Re: Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

Its dosn't matter if Jennifer has Jewish relatives somewhere down the line, that comment shouldn't ever had been said. I think it was a very stupid thing to say, even though she may have not meant to hurt Stacie's feelings. Besides from what I have read Jennifer is Italian. Maybe she has in-laws or somethingthing that are Jewish.

Do you know what time???

Re: Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

I saw the episode and that was a terrible thing to say. I don't blame her real life job for firing her.

Re: Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

FH and I are sadly hooked on that show.

I'm not surprised that she was fired from her real job. She came off terribly on the show, flipping off one of the other girls and calling Stacy 'the little munchkin' in a snotty tone. The comments she made were just the icing on the cake and must have clinched her real-life firing.

Re: Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

I watched and TIVO'd the show and I have to say it was MAJOR inappropriate -- you wonder about editing sometimes, and admittedly, the little one is amazingly annoying BUT Jen was SO INAPPROPRIATE!

Re: Fired 'Apprentice' Jennifer Fired in Real-Life Job

I finally watched the episode I taped, and she (Jen) deserved nothing more than to be fired! Her rude comments were so obnoxious and when she called Stacy (the short one) I almost fell outta my chair.
She took no blame for anything and she is the one to blame for everything.
At least I know @ my job, if something is wrong I will go to my boss and say 'and this is why it happened'. Sometimes, honesty is best policy!!
Im so glad she's fired!!
