After Omarosa appeared on _Good Morning America_ to speak with Michael Strahan about her upcoming Jan. 20 departure from the White House, telling him that “When I can tell my story — and it is a profound story — I know the world will want to hear.” Later, Roberts revisited Omarosa’s sentiment and gave viewers some insight into how she really felt about the situation. “She said she has a story to tell? I’m sure she’ll be selling that story. Bye, Felicia!” Roberts’ low-key but pointed use of the shady “Bye, Felicia!” colloquialism wasn’t lost on the Internet who gleefully took to the web to share their feelings on the matter. > [](https://twitter.com/JamilahLemieux/status/941293367136325633) > [](https://twitter.com/youngsinick/status/941296653029568512) > [](https://twitter.com/randi%5Fpink/status/941311789597429760) > [](https://twitter.com/TheGinaP/status/941293784276586496) > [](https://twitter.com/TheRustface/status/941307156967690240) > [](https://twitter.com/itsgabrielleu/status/941320551955607552) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5064517/robin-roberts-bye-felicia-omarosa/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5064517/robin-roberts-bye-felicia-omarosa/"},"headline":"The Internet Can't Get Over Robin Roberts Trolling Omarosa With 'Bye, Felicia'","datePublished":"2017-12-14T17:51:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:18.406Z","description":"\"She has a story to tell and I'm sure she'll be selling that story\"","url":"https://time.com/5064517/robin-roberts-bye-felicia-omarosa/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc66e87f1836dcbd1/6988f51d7cdbac58d3d5b480/omarosa-robin-roberts-bye-felicia.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc66e87f1836dcbd1/6988f51d7cdbac58d3d5b480/omarosa-robin-roberts-bye-felicia.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Holds Joint Press Conference With Israeli PM Netanyahu","caption":"Donald Trump Holds Joint Press Conference With Israeli PM Netanyahu","creditText":"NurPhoto—NurPhoto via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5064517/robin-roberts-bye-felicia-omarosa/","name":"The Internet Can't Get Over Robin Roberts Trolling Omarosa With 'Bye, Felicia'"}}]}] ```
