Top media outlets, Univision and NBC have also cut ties with Trump after he referred to Mexican immigrants as mostly drug dealers and rapists.
However, Trump has filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univison claiming pulling the plug on the beauty pageant was breach of contract. He's also threatening to take NBC to courtcalling the network ''weak''.
It's still not clear if the network will also axe Trump's other popular TV show, 'The Apprentice' but according to close sources, the organizers just want Trump out as host.
