The Apprentice producer Mark Burnett is breaking his silence after leaked tapes of Donald Trump were released last week in which the presidential candidate said derogatory and offensive comments about women while talking to former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.

After the tape was leaked, several people such as Judd Apatow and TV executive Chris Nee tried to pressure Burnett on social media to release any unaired Apprentice footage that he may have of Trump which may be offensive.

In response, the super producer and MGM released a joint statement: "MGM owns Mark Burnett's production company and The Apprentice is one of its properties. Despite reports to the contrary, Mark Burnett does not have the ability nor the right to release footage or other material from The Apprentice. Various contractual and legal requirements also restrict MGM's ability to release such material."

The statement goes on to say: "The recent claims that Mark Burnett has threatened anyone with litigation if they were to leak such material are completely and unequivocally false," the note continues. "To be clear, as previously reported in the press, which Mark Burnett has confirmed, he has consistently supported Democratic campaigns."

It seems like this statement basically says -- Mark Burnett wants to release some tapes but he can’t legally.

Umm we really wonder what tapes Burnett is holding back — we have a feeling he’s got a whole warehouse full of stuff on Trump!
