Omarosa released a statement about her brother: “We thank everyone for their amazing outpouring of support surrounding the tragic death of my brother Jack…Right now it is an extremely difficult time and we ask that you allow family privacy to grieve and make all necessary arrangements…

Tragically, Omarosa’s father was murdered when she was just seven years old.
