The Apprentice 2015: Jenny Garbis defends passionate leaving speech in new interview

Jennifer Ruby22 October 2015

Jenny Garbis has spoken out to defend her passionate speech to Lord Sugar after being fired from The Apprentice.

In an exclusive interview with London Live, the 23-year-old former model said: “I've had the most amazing support on Twitter.

“I've been overwhelmed with it. I think everyone really respects me for what I said and it's not about me being angry or bitter or anything like that.

“It was just me saying 'oh, Lord Sugar, what a shame - let me try and prove you wrong and then hopefully when that day comes we can have a conversation and discuss it.’”

Garbis, who is the third contestant to be fired from Lord Sugar’s boardroom, claimed that there is a clash of strong female personalities on this year show.

“I think the issue is that you have a lot of strong, independent women there and they're all trying to make a point that women are just as good as men, “ she said.

“We’ve all got very similar personalities and you are going to get some clashes unfortunately.”

Garbis went to admit that, unsurprisingly, she hadn't stayed in contact with project manager Vana.

She said: "I am in contact with a lot of them still but Ivana is one of the ones who I haven't kept that much in contact with.

"Not for any particular reason, just because we're doing our own thing. But I think she pitched this whole let's not be catty thing but it just ended up happening again."

Garbis was sent packing after a heated boardroom discussion on Wednesday night’s show.

After getting the boot she told Lord Sugar:

“I really appreciate the opportunity, I’m very disappointed to not have shown you what I’m really capable of Lord Sugar, because I do actually think I have the ability to win this process”
