According to the Daily Beast, the former Apprentice contestant has been increasingly blocked from seeing the president at former General Kellys command in an effort to control what information is delivered to Trump.
The issue for Kelly has been preventing Omarosa who serves as the communications director for the Office of Public Liaison and other senior staffers from sharing unvetted and dubious news articles with the president in an effort to influence Trump.
According to sources in the White House, those articles get Trump all riled up and distract him from the conducting the business at hand with Manigualt being one of the worst offenders.
When Gen. Kelly is talking about clamping down on access to the Oval, shes patient zero, one source explained,

She does need to go but someone else will fill that spot. tRump will find a way to keep up with the stories that inflate his ego or infuriate him. Bannon may be out of the White House, but tRump is still in communication with him. If Omarosa is one of his favorites, he will continue to talk with her.
Kelly can try to contain this Dumpster fire but in the end, he will get burned if he stays with it too long. If he has any sense he will cut his losses and leave. He may be thinking he is saving us all from an unleashed tRump so is trying to hang in there. I hope he is getting good advice from professionals on handling one as dangerous and willful as tRump.

He's there at the urging of the Kushners, but twitler inevitably does what twitler wants to do and he'll banish those two before he changes his spots. Omarosa may be ousted officially, but that won't stop the private contact. Same goes for Bannon IMO.
