After Omarosa Manigault Newman was dramatically fired from her White House position on Tuesday by chief of staff John Kelly, the former "Apprentice" villain reportedly attempted to enter the White House residence to speak with President Donald Trump, only to be escorted from the grounds by Secret Service agents.

Newman, a former Trump campaign adviser who has served since January as the director of communications for the White House's Office of Public Liaison, was upset by the news of her firing, according to American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan.

Newman reportedly protested her dismissal, bringing up her efforts to recruit black voters to support Trump during the election and her relationships with historically black colleges and universities.

"During that altercation with General Kelly, Omarosa said that she had brought the black vote to President Trump," Ryan said in a Wednesday radio report. "General Kelly said, 'No, that is not the case.'"

Kelly also reportedly told Newman, who is one of the president's best known black supporters, that Johnathan Holifield, the newly appointed head of the White House Initiative on HBCUs, "doesn't like" her.

Newman then reportedly told Kelly that she wanted to speak with the president about the decision, but Kelly reportedly responded that Trump had already been informed and had signed off on the firing. Ryan's sources told her that Newman used vulgar language, cursing at Kelly, and then walked over to the president's residence and "tried to get in."

"General Kelly was called back," Ryan reported. "Secret Service stopped her, and she was escorted off campus."

Newman's assistant was reportedly also let go.

Newman's role had recently come under scrutiny in the media, with reports suggesting her position was vague and undefined - a point of frustration for her colleagues. She struggled to develop functioning relationships between the Trump administration and black lawmakers and communities, and has a history of sparking workplace drama.

In June, the Congressional Black Caucus rejected an offer extended by Newman to meet with the president, arguing that the caucus had "seen no evidence that your Administration acted on our calls for action, and we have in fact witnessed steps that will affirmatively hurt Black communities."

And Newman is reportedly disliked by many in the Trump administration, including Kelly and Trump's son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner.

In a Wednesday statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that Newman resigned on Tuesday "to pursue other opportunities" and that her official last day will be January 20.

This is not the first time Newman has been dismissed from a White House position. The Howard University graduate served both under Vice President Al Gore and President Bill Clinton when she was in her early 20s and was fired from the Commerce Department under the Clinton administration.

Another Clinton staffer, Cheryl Shavers, told People magazine earlier this year that Newman "was asked to leave as quickly as possible, she was so disruptive," adding, "One woman wanted to slug her."
