"The Apprentice" alum's supposed photoshopped post comes after former first daughter Chelsea Clinton opened up about her relationship with Ivanka.

Telling her truth, Chelsea, who was joined by her mother Hilary Clinton on the episode, alleged that Ivanka didn't have her back. In her words, "I would say we were friends. She’s not the person I called when I was curious about something for my kids or if I was debating a life decision, but we were definitely friends. And then she went to the dark side."

Per reports, Chelsea's mention of the "dark side" references Ivanka's husband Jared Kushner's new book, "Breaking History," where it was reported Kushner wrote that Ivanka asked Chelsea to have dinner with her. The alleged invitation came shortly after the 2016 election, in which Hilary Clinton lost to Donald Trump.

Recalling the encounter, Chelsea admitted she “spoke to Ivanka” in 2016. However, she didn’t remember "being invited to dinner."
