Keshia Knight Pulliam, also known as Rudy Huxtable from 'The Cosby Show' back in the day was fired from the show "Celebrity Apprentice" after she refused to ask the much talked about comedian Bill Cosby for help. Bill Cosby was recently accused of raping several women and currently slapped with allegations on sexual abuse.
Just this Sunday, January 5, real-estate magnate Donald Trump had told Pulliam that she was to blame for her team's unsuccessful turnout during a charity task. This was because Pulliam had refused to contact Cosby to ask for a donation.
Pulliam was assigned as a project manager for the task on the show and she was trying to raise money for her own charity called Kamp Kizzy. She sold pies with her all-female group, which included fellow contestants such as Kate Gosselin, Vivica Fox, Shawn Johnson, Brandi Glanville, Kenya Moore and Leeza Gibbons.
However, Pulliam had refused to get in touch with her former on-screen father to help raise funds for her charity. She said, "I have not talked to Bill Cosby on the phone in I don't know how long." She added, "For me to pick up the phone having not talked to you for five years, except for when we run into each other for a Cosby event, I feel that's not my place to do."
Trump then decided that what Pulliam did was very wrong. He responded, "You are an amazing person, but you were the project manager. You didn't make one call that I really believe that if you'd called that gentleman he would have helped you, even if you hadn't spoken to him in years."
Pulliam is known for her childhood role as the youngest child of Cliff and Clair Huxtable on the NBC sitcom "The Cosby Show" which ran from 1984 to 1992. She was the first contestant fired on the 7th season of the sow "Celebrity Apprentice," which aired January 4, 2015.
