"I refuse to be a sore loser."
Still, Kate Gosselin didn't refuse to say that it should've been Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kenya Moore who was fired by Donald Trump on the Celebrity Apprentice on Monday night, telling E! News of her own ousting, "I didn't see it coming."
Admitting she was "surprised" by Trump's choice, she explained, "I do think, in all fairness, there were probably more viable reasons for sure that Kenya...should be fired. It is what it is."
And Gosselin told us she had to apply some of the lessons she teaches her own children when dealing with Moore.
"There's a million Kenyas in the world, and not to always speak from a mom's perspective, but girls at school that are mean, I tell my girls, 'You're going to meet people your whole life and have to work with them. You have to find a way to work with them,'" she said. "And I had to take a dose of my own medicine, really."
But Gosselin isn't the only contestant on the NBC reality series who's not exactly Moore's biggest fan, with Trump saying things are going to really heat up between Moore, Vivica A. Fox and Real Housewives' Brandi Glanville in next week's episode as "the level of fighting and craziness has never taken place, even with Omarosa."
"They truly hate each other. They hate Kenya. Actually, Kenya hates Vivica like you've never seen...probably hates Brandi more than she even hates Vivica," he said. "But the three women on the show are a total disaster, which I love."
