Television projects

Murphy appeared on the fourth season of ''The Apprentice''. Murphy was "fired" in the sixth week, along with three others. Murphy first spoke to Donald Trump about the possibility of appearing on his show when she was competing at the Miss USA pageant. The pageant is part of the Miss Universe Organization which is owned by Trump.

In October 2016, Murphy told ''Grazia'' that Trump had offered her job interviews a day after she had left ''The Apprentice''. As she was leaving after an interview, a newly married Trump kissed her on the lips, which took her by surprise. Murphy said she ultimately declined his job offer, and that she would still vote for Trump in the 2016 election.

After appearing on ''The Apprentice'' in New York, she relocated to Los Angeles, California and pursued a career in entertainment. Murphy appeared in her first feature film ''Killer Movie'', playing the role of Mrs. Falls, and appeared in an episode of '' CSI'', playing the role of "Dream Girl".

Controversy

In April 2016, Murphy uploaded a video on her YouTube channel performing her song "I want to be NEENJA!" at a private party promoting her line of Murphy beds. In July 2016, Murphy removed the YouTube video and released an apology on Facebook after the video was widely shared on social media criticizing Murphy for her impersonation of a Japanese accent and lyrics about Asian stereotypes. Despite the removal of the video and apology, the song and references to the song can still be found in other videos uploaded to her YouTube channel. The video was re-uploaded on January 23, 2021.
