Kelly Osbourne Continues To Take Heat For Racist Comments On The View
Posted on Wed Aug 5th, 2015 7:45am PDT By X17 Staff
Kelly Osbourne should probably just sit down and shut it ...
The outspoken personality really put her foot in her mouth yesterday when the gals were talking about Donald Trump's shocking comments on Mexicans and Kelly ignorantly said, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?"
Umm no. Just ... no.
Kelly, who famously went off on Guiliana Rancic after her comments on Zendaya Coleman's dreads, should have known better than to say such an ignorant comment for a variety of reasons. The always brazen star is now is feeling the Internet hate that she is often so much a part of -- but this time it's directed AT her.
Former View co-host Sherri Shepherd tweeted her outrage, writing, "oooh Lawd @KellyOsbourne latinos can only clean toilets... what are blacks good for? breastfeeding dem babies! Girl what did you just say!"
Even Azealia Banks, who is known for making outrageous and racist comments, condemned the remark when she tweeted, "actually like kelly osbourne but girl .... NOOOOOOONO NO NO NO NO."
Kelly made a less-than-stellar apology:"I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f--king toilets."
Well that's great you clean your own toilets, girly, but maybe not say something racist like, "Latinos can only clean toilets" -- and then during an "apology" not even apologize and just blame your bad taste on the fact that the show was live? Not cool, Kelly. Not cool ...
This morning on the program, co-host Whoopi Goldberg came to Kelly's defense, saying the purple-haired star was misunderstood. “The point she was trying to make is that Trump’s stance on immigration will only hurt the people [he’s] counting on. You try to get your point in, and you try to hit it, and you sometimes step in dog doo. … Your head works faster than your mouth, it happens.â€
Raven-Symoné also defended Kelly on the show, saying, “I’m best friends with Kelly. … I don’t think she’d be a racist if she was friends with me.â€
We don't agree with Whoopi or Raven-Symoné -- her comment clearly highlighted her true ignorance. The fact that she's jumped on others for making comments we think were less controversial makes us think that Kelly should be kicked off whatever show she's hosting ... if there's even one left for her to be kicked off of ...
Kelly may have been trying to come down on Donald Trump but that's what we call a major backfire!
