Gary Busey knew it was coming, but he has no malice that his team on The Celebrity Apprentice was out to get him.

Sunday night, Donald Trump obliged the trio of Meatloaf, Lil Jon and John Rich and fired Busey.

Busey points out in the video below that he may not have appeared to know the guys were out for blood, he actually played it coy to keep his dignity intact.

The Celebrity Apprentice continues – without Gary Busey – Sunday, 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
