According to TMZ, the former White House staffer, along with the rest of the upcoming season’s cast, signed a contract for a base pay of nearly $200,000. Sources close to the production said that the longer the celebs — including retired MMA fighter Chuck Liddell, singer Mark McGrath, “American Pie” actress Shannon Elizabeth, “The Cosby Show’s” Keshia Knight Pulliam and former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Brandi Glanville — stick around, the bigger the payday could be. The insiders reportedly dished that the celebrity winner could make as much as $500,000 off of the show.

The “Apprentice” alum resigned from her position in Trump’s administration in December, citing a need to “pursue other opportunities” and later hinted on a broadcast of “Good Morning America” that a tell-all about her experience may be in the works.

“When I have a chance to tell my story, Michael, I have quite a story to tell,” Manigault Newman said to Michael Strahan at the time. “As the only African American woman in this White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that made me feel uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally. That has affected my community and my people. And when I can tell my story, it is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear.”

We’ll see if any of that “story” weaves its way into the upcoming season of “Celebrity Big Brother!”
