Kelly Osbourne's comments on 'The View' offend
Kelly Osbourne is in trouble.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Osbourne made a inflammatory comment about Latinos while trying to bash presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Discussing his proposed immigration policy, Osbourne blurted out, “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”
Immediately afterward, an unsettling feeling came over the panel and it appeared as though Osbourne realized she had indeed put her foot in her mouth.
Jumping at the opportunity to school Osbourne, co-host Rosie Perez tried to interrupt, saying, “Latinos are not only …”
Osbourne tried to backpedal, saying , “No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument.”
In an effort to protect Osbourne, who will undoubtedly be subject to much scrutiny, Perez made a statement at the end of the show.
“I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being sensitive,” Perez said at the end of the show, according to E! News. “No, Kelly Osbourne is on our side and I was sensitive. My disdain should go to only Donald Trump, so I’m sorry, darling.”
She also sent out a tweet, which appeared a little desperate. “My apologizes @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong -#Trump #Latinos. My bad. Your heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView.”
In the irony of if all, Osbourne bashed Giuliana Rancic for making unsettling racist comments about Zendaya on “Fashion Police” back in February.
It’s now Osbourne’s turn to be dragged through the mud.
