You would think she would have known better after the major firestorm caused by her former Fashion Police co-star Giuliana Rancic just months ago over her racially insensitive comments regarding actress Zendaya–but alas Kelly Osbourne has just joined the long list of politically incorrect celebs to make racial slurs in a public setting.
On an episode of The View on Tuesday, Kelly appeared as a guest host and during a discussion of Donald Trump and his recent inappropriate comments about “Mexicans” Kelly made the mistake of trying to make a point against Trump and his offensive remarks but ended up making a big one herself. Via E!:
Osbourne asked, “In what way does he think that people are going to vote for him after he’s just called them rapists and murderers?” After Michelle Collins jumped in, Osbourne addressed Raven-Symoné and said, “I have a feeling that what is going on is that he is drumming up all of this following and he’s going to pull out right before the campaign…to get all of his voters to vote for the other Republican.”
“I said that a long time ago,” Raven-Symoné said.
Perez clarified the point Collins was trying to make, saying, “There are a lot of Latinos here in this country that do agree that the immigration problem is a problem and it does need to be addressed and it does need to be fixed. But making those comments—those racist comments—does not help.”
“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” Osbourne said. “In the sense that…you know what I mean? But I’m saying that in L.A., they always…” The other co-hosts were taken aback, and Perez said, “Latinos are not only the only people doing that.” Osbourne cut her off and said, “No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument.”
At the end of the show, Perez defended Osbourne, telling viewers, “I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being overly sensitive.”
Osbourne asked why, saying, “You have every right…”
“No, Kelly Osbourne is on our side and I was sensitive,” Perez said. “My disdain should go to only Donald Trump, so I’m sorry, darling.”
Get into the awkward moment below.
Following the show, Kelly took to social media to issue an “apology” of sorts but still denies being a racist and says there was no malicious intent in her comments.
I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take…
