Will thou marry for love, money or to extend one’s 15 minutes of reality fame?

The woman so many have loved to hate, “The Apprentice’s” television villain Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, is heading back to the small screen this week to find a husband.

In the TV One series “Donald J. Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger,” which premieres June 17, the diva hooks up with her former boss to look for her perfect mate among a cadre of 12 hot, successful bachelors — including onetime R&B star Al B. Sure.

Filmed on location at a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, the desperate dozen will be put through a gauntlet of tests to assess their business acumen, etiquette skills, seductive strengths and true intentions.

Upping the dramatic ante, Omarosa will be assisted in the challenges by a supporting cast of friends and celebs, including comedians George Wallace and Loni Love, TV chef G. Garvin, video vixen author Karrine Steffans and spiritual advisor Pastor Jamal Bryant.

That’s the set-up, but why on earth should anyone care about the drop dead diva’s love life?

“I think the most intriguing thing about the show is Trump and myself,” said Omarosa, who spoke to the Wave by telephone from the series’ home base.

“He created the show specifically for me and selected the contestants. He’s very much like a life coach. So, firstly, for such an interesting person like Donald to take an interest in my love life, is significant in itself.

“Secondly, a very successful woman having difficulty finding a suitable mate, I don’t know if that phenomenon has ever been approached before.

“[I mean] ‘The Bachelorette’ is a spinoff — none of those contestants were selected individually. They are all wonderful working-class girls, who at some point try to compete for the affections of one of the bachelors. My unique approach is that of a professional woman who’s worked in corporate America, entertainment, politics and met people around the world. I need a mate who’s unique, can hold their own in the boardroom and on Broadway.”

Judging by preview clips provided by the Black-oriented cable network airing the show, viewers can expect some fireworks as the men take some of their rivalry to the street.

At one point, Manigault-Stallworth is shocked by a suitor who point blank confesses that he never dates Black women.

But it’s all above board, and the show’s star insists it is completely unscripted. “I can assure you, we didn’t say y’all go and fight,” she said.

“When you put 12 Type-A personalities in a room, it’s like fire and gasoline. These guys are worldly and tough, but even some of the calmest guys, who on their profiles stated they’re well-bred, mild-mannered and considerate, started mixing it up. That’s something we couldn’t have anticipated.”

As for the incendiary topic of mixed-race dating, Manigault-Stallworth recalled: “I was kind of surprised, because these are discussions you usually have with your girlfriends during a spa. We see a track record of that in some of the most public figures out there, OJ, Tiger, the list goes on and on.

“I’m not trying to call those brothers out because love is a personal decision. However, talking to one of the suitors who had not previously dated, for whatever reason, an African-American woman, was shocking to me. I’d never encountered someone so bold and brazen to say ‘I’ve never dated a Black woman and had no desire to.’ How could he look at his mother and not say ‘I love Black women.’”

She added: “The show reinforced my attraction to smart, sexy, intelligent and passionate African-American men. It was like being a kid in a candy shop. I said, ‘Do I have to choose just one?’”
