Every day under Trump’s administration is like watching a trash reality show. You’re not sure why you keep tuning it but each week you’re glued to the tv, ready for the drama.

This week, it’s Trump’s labor secretary nominee, who is the latest contestant to go home. Andrew Puzder, the CEO of the fast food chain that owns Carl’s Jr. and Hardees, was set to face his first confirmation committee as Labor Secretary on Thursday. Just like many politicians, Puzder’s personal life has come under scrutiny since being announced as Trump’s cabinet pick, most particularly his bitter divorce with his ex-wife, Lisa Fierstein. 

Back in 1990, Fierstein appeared on an episode of “Oprah” where she appeared incognito during a “High-Class Battered Women” segment. A shook Fierstein confessed, “once I made [the abuse] public, he vowed revenge. He said, “I will see you in the gutter. You will pay for this.” I had nothing.” She went on to later retract the abuse claims as part of a child custody agreement and again this January in a letter to senators but the hard evidence was already there.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Oprah Winfrey and her forever loyal television squad provided senators just last month with footage of the interview. Representatives of Oprah Winfrey Network confirmed that they were contacted by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, asking about the footage of the interview. The team provided that specific episode and all episodes dealing with domestic violence between 1985 to 1990.

"Approximately 20 episodes were made available for the committee members to view in confidence," a network spokeswoman stated in an email. "OWN did not provide copies or transcript of the episodes and has not provided information about the identities of anyone who appeared in these episodes. Given information of this investigation has been made public by the committee, OWN is making this statement to be clear about what the company provided to congressional investigators."

Domestic violence accusations from an ex-wife, unfair treatment towards immigrant workers and a record of sexual harassment, Puzder had many red flags against him. That’s why it comes as no surprise that he finally decided to withdraw when he was discovered that he also lied about communicating with Russian officials. In a statement provided to the Associated Press, Pudzer wrote he was “honored to have been considered by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Labor and put America’s workers and business back on path to sustainable prosperity.” Earlier this week, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn also resigned.

Two down a few more to go. Never underestimate the power of Muva O.
