New Trump recordings reveal he repeatedly insulted country singer during filming of The Apprentice
The Republican nominee kept bashing the appearance of country music star Emily West who appeared in the US hit series of The Apprentice in 2010
DONALD Trump has landed himself in hot water again, this time for insulting a female country singer's appearance when she starred on The Apprentice.
A transcript of the real estate billionaire's 11-season hit show obtained by the Huffington Post, reveal Trump criticised Emily West for her appearance in 2010.
In an episode entitled Beauty and Brains, contestants were tasked with making over two country musicians - one was West and the other was Luke Bryan.
"I assume you're gonna leave this off, don't put this s**t on the show, you know. But her skin, her skin sucks, okay?" he reportedly said about West which wasn't aired . "I mean her skin, she needs some serious f***n' dermatology."
Trump made the insulting remarks about the country music star during a boardroom discussion, which lasted around three minutes, while deciding which makeover was the best.
"Personally, I am, as you probably heard, not a gay man, but I think he's better looking that [sic] Emily okay?" Trump said.
When he asked guest judge and country music star Trace Adkins what he thought about each makeover, Adkins replied: "Well I um, I, I think the one they did for Emily is a little more polished looking"
Trump hit back: "You're obviously not a skin man."
But West's team ended up winning in the episode.
Singer West told the Huffington Post she had never met Trump during the show as their parts were filmed separately.
The leak comes after Trump's candidacy suffered a crippling blow after a shocking 2005 video released on Friday in which he was filmed bragging about sexually assaulting women by grabbing them by the crotch with impunity because, as a celebrity, "you can do anything".
Singer Cyndi Lauper, who appeared on the episode as the leader of the team, confirmed the transcript was accurate.
She added: "Of all people to talk about people's skin! What the hell is going on with his?"
A Trump spokesperson said his campaign couldn't comment on an "alleged transcript".
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting for leaking of more "hot mic" footage exposing the Republican candidate's candid talk after producers hinted there are more damaging material from the The Apprentice.
But Apprentice creator Mark Burnett claims he can't legally release unaired tapes of the show featuring Trump.
"Despite reports to the contrary, Mark Burnett does not have the ability nor the right to release footage or other material from The Apprentice," read a statement to US media attributed to Burnett and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which owns his production company.
"Various contractual and legal requirements also restrict MGM's ability to release such material," it added without elaborating.
Burnett denied reports that he privately threatened to sue staff if they leaked tapes to the press.
The statement comes as others connected to the show are suggesting the existence of evidence Trump objectified women during unscripted moments.
Producer Chris Nee said there was a $5 million (£4 million) penalty fee for leaking footage of Apprentice in employers' contracts.
He also suggested on Twitter that Trump had used the "N word".
Another producer Bill Pruitt tweeted: "As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng."
A crowdfunding campaign on the GoFundMe site is also seeking to raise $5 million (£4 million) for anyone providing evidence that "the current nominee for president of the United States is not a moral leader".
The site says just under $23,000 (£18, 000) has been raised so far.
