Kelly Osbourne may not want to be involved in the political immigration debate, but it’s a bit too late for that.
While attempting to insult Donald Trump during her appearance on “The View” as a guest host on Tuesday, Osbourne failed miserably and instead blurted out a racist comment: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” Not good. A few moments later, the 30-year-old explained that she “didn’t mean it like that.” And in an interview with Extra on Wednesday, Osbourne acknowledged that her initial comment was wrong. “If I saw that clip just with the ten seconds, I’d hate me too,” she told the news program.
“I’m not OK that I hurt people’s feelings,” she continued. “It was my poor choice of words and it doesn’t reflect my opinion at all, and I do not want to be brought into this political nightmare.” While Osbourne said she didn’t understand how her comment got so much attention, she told Extra that she doesn’t want “The View” co-host Rosie Perez — who apologized to Osbourne after admittedly misunderstanding her point – taking the blame for it. “It came out of my mouth, I own it, and I will do whatever I have to do to make it right.”
Shortly after Osbourne appeared on “The View,” she issued a statement in which she said she was not “a racist” and that she “whole-hearted f**ked up.” However, a lot of people considered the statement a non-apology. Latinos took to Twitter to express their frustration with Osbourne’s words with the hashtag #QueridaKellyObsourne, which quickly went viral.
