• Former White House adviser Omarosa Manigault reportedly suggests President Donald Trump has used racial slurs against African-Americans and Filipinos.
• In her memoir, "Unhinged," she cites anonymous sources in claiming that Trump is on tape using the N-word while on the set of "The Apprentice."
• She also says she overheard Trump insulting the husband of Kellyanne Conway with anti-Filipino slurs.
• Manigault was formerly one of Trump's most trusted advisers, but their relationship has since gone south since she left the White House.

Former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant and White House adviser Omarosa Manigault reportedly levels explosive accusations against President Donald Trump in her new book, claiming he used racial slurs toward African-Americans and Filipinos.

In her tell-all memoir, "Unhinged," which is set to be published next week, Manigault cites three anonymous sources in claiming that Trump frequently used the N-word on tape to describe African-Americans during his years hosting "The Apprentice," according to The Guardian, which obtained a copy of the book.

"They all told me that President Trump hadn't just dropped a single N-word bomb," she wrote in the book, according to The Guardian. "He'd said it multiple times throughout the show's taping during off-camera outtakes, particularly during the first season of 'The Apprentice.'"

Rumors of salacious recordings involving Trump have circulated since before the 2016 election, particularly after the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape that featured Trump making lewd comments about grabbing women by their genitals.

The Guardian also reported that in the memoir, Manigault claims she personally witnessed Trump insulting George Conway, the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, with racial slurs that degraded his Filipino heritage.

"Would you look at this George Conway article?" she claims to have heard Trump say. "F---ing FLIP! Disloyal! F---ing Goo-goo." George Conway, a lawyer, is a vocal critic of the Trump administration on Twitter and in articles he writes for Lawfare.

In response to the allegations, Conway wrote on Twitter that Manigault's claim was "not credible, and indeed is ridiculous, particularly in light of the timing of her departure from the White House--December 12, 2017."

"It's absurd all around," he said.

Manigault competed on season one of "The Apprentice" and served a controversial tenure as director of communications for the White House office of Public Liaison before leaving the position in December.

Her tumultuous time in the White House and very public break with Trump has caused many critics to question her credibility and the veracity of her claims.

Earlier this week, The Daily Beast reported that Manigault had secretly recorded Trump on multiple occasions and used the recordings as leverage to help her secure her book deal.

"Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House" is set to be published by Gallery Books on August 14.
