'Celebrity Apprentice' star Debbie Gibson: I was relieved to be fired

debbie-gibson-fired-celeb-apprentice-nbc.jpgSinger Debbie Gibson says she felt a sense of relief after being fired by Donald Trump on Sunday's (April 1) episode of "The Celebrity Apprentice."

"[Teresa Giudice] yelled at you for showing your boobs," Dee Snider, who was also fired on Sunday's episode, says to Debbie about her boardroom showdown with Teresa, during which Teresa criticized Debbie's boardroom attire.

"Once the potshots started, I was glad [to leave]," Debbie says. "I can take constructive and professional criticism."

Trump fired Debbie for being the one to raise the least amount of money for her team among the three celebrities -- Dayana Mendoza, Teresa and herself -- brought back into the boardroom. However, Debbie says she later found out she actually raised more money than Dayana after the final tally.

And as for Dayana still being on the show, despite numerous calls back to the boardroom, Debbie says she's not as bad as she's made out to be.

"I don't think she was the hardest worker or the most creative, but she certainly wasn't a problem," Debbie says. "They were calling her distracting, and I thought it was all a bit contrived."

Do you think Debbie's right about Dayana?
